Brenda, this is such a pretty and elegant card, and I love the gold element in it! I always appreciate it so much the way you finish off your cards, with a stamped image on the inside as well as on the envelope! Brenda, I watch hundreds of tutorials from card divas and I just have to say that you are one of the BEST instructors, and that I have learned so much from you. TFS
As soon as I saw LEAVES, I knew I'd like this card. :) It is SO beautiful, and you could easily use this design for any type of occasion and anyone would love it! Thanks so much for the tip on the bow-making. Glad I am not the only one to struggle a bit with this art.
Denise Ward Thank you Denise :-) I just made another "leaves" card with a new set from the Holiday Catalog that goes with the same framelits - will get a video done soon!
Absolutely beautiful card!! I will be purchasing this stamp set for sure. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and detailed instructions. Most helpful SU videos ever.
Pamela Elliott Thank you Pamela! There's another great stamp set from the Holiday Catalog (called "Lighthearted Leaves") that also works with these framelits :-)
Gorgeous! I see how you sponge beyond the stamp line so that the die cut image does not have a white outline, very good idea. I usually watercolor my projects, I will try this with the watercolor . Thank you.
Love this card. I have a "thing" for leaves. I will be CASing this card for sure. I would love to see you do one with fall colors. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Brenda just found your site. Very inspiring. At first wasn't crazy about the card until you add the leaf on top. What a WOW factor. Love the card now thanks
WOW! I LOVE THAT! That is such a pretty card and your instructions were so clear. You took your time and didn't rush and you told us exactly what to do, and how to do it. Thank you so much. I have subscribed! Thumbs up.
What a beautiful card !! my favorite part was the vintage leave, it looks very elegant and pretty. This is one of the prettiest cards I've seen lately.
So beautiful, new to your page, oh the colors you could do with this. I love sponging too. I’ll definitely be making some. Great instructions too. Thank you 😊
+Renee Cassidy I have a project with this set for my October stamp camp using Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo and Delightful Dijon. You can view it at www.keenankreations.com/my-events. We don't get the pretty fall colors where I live :-(
Brenda, I luv, luv, this card. I do not have the stamp and framelet yet. I will be putting this on my wish list and ordering it from you. A must have this is for sure. For the gold embossing, did you use a smaller leaf stamp? I love how it does not completely cover the leaf under it. You are so good at do the videos they are so very informative. This is really nice when I have to rely upon videos from the computer. Thank you for posting them. Thanks for answering. Now to check out the next video.
LG1932 Thank you so much! I can't tell your name from your "LG1932" but hope I can answer your question. The gold embossed leaf is the larger, Maple leaf from the stamp set. It's the same image that was stamped first at the beginning of the video. There was not smaller leaf stamp used on the gold embossed one. Hope that makes sense :-)
question I noticed on your stamp ink pads there is ink on the lid do you think if we was to turn them upside down that would help that because I've been trying to keep mine the ones I bought clean and I don't want to get all that ink all over so do you think if you to turn them over and then over again would that help solve that problem
+Debbie Long beaumont Hi Debbie! The ink on the lids are intentional. When I watercolor, I squeeze the ink pads in the middle (while they are closed) to purposely press the inside of the lid to the ink pad. Then when I open the pad, I use the Blender Pen or Aquapainter to pick up the ink for watercoloring. I just don't clean the lids so it looks messy but doesn't hurt anything :-)
Brenda, I was wondering if you could please tell me where you get your acrylic stamping blocks. I do have some, but I love the look and design of yours. They look much thicker than what I have and I like the way the sides are made too. If you could let me know, that would be great. (I can't seem to find these exact ones you're using, on Stampin' Up! I checked). Thank you.
+LamborghiniGal I use the Stampin' Up! blocks. See if this link will work for you: www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=102406 You can find them on page 176 of the main catalog. If you are n the online store, click the "stamps" link and then click the "stamping accessories) link. Hope that helps :-)
+Keenan Kreations Thank you so much! That link took me right to the page. I'm going to order the bundle. I really do love these. I appreciate your fast response. Thanks again. :-)
