I love everything about Fall – and I’m lucky enough to live in Central New York, where the leaves changing color is an absolutely stunning sight to see!

I wanted to create a card that showcases all of my favorite Fall things, so I combined a variety of Newton’s Nook Designs stamp sets and used the small images to create a collage.  You can do this with any of your stamp sets – just look for images that might fit nicely together and try out a few combinations until you find one you like!

When I was happy with the focal panel, I went on to stamp a few of the images I used in Versamark  onto my card base to create a subtle pattern.  I used foam tape to mount the focal panel slightly askew on a mat colored with a Copic marker so that it perfectly matched the patterned paper.  A touch of Wink of Stella to the leaves and hearts and a little Glossy Accents on the acorns and hearts finished up the card!

  2. Neat card. Great idea, another way to stretch your stamp sets. Love the coloring, and all the pretty accents, too. Michelle t

  3. Love your sweet card! You brought all these fabulous fall images together perfectly!! Great layout and colors!!

  4. Clever & creative way to showcase your fall Fall/Autumn things. I like the stitched dies which I have. Fall/Autumn is a fav season of mine. I like Pumpkin Spice Latte and pretty much anything pumpkin. Bought some pumpkin spice brownies from Central Mkt the other day on sale buy 1 get 1 free. We got chocolate ones also.

  5. You can tell how the seasons change by watching the designs on the cards.
    Halloween is over and on to muted tones for thanksgiving and I’m sure lots of
    Christmas cards will start appearing.
    Great card.
    thanks for sharing.

  6. Great card. I am also lucky enough to live in a part of the USA where the seasons change. Your card highlights some of my favorite fall images as well. Nice work.
