Rubber Stamping: Fall Cards

Fall Web by Bernardine Farmer

The webbing is in the ribbon department found at craft stores. I found this spool at Hobby Lobby. It will stretch out about as far as I have shown it. It looks a bit like fish netting on a role.

Fold forest green cardstock in half for a 4” x 8-1/4” card.

Using Penny Black Fall Leaf #1, randomly color the stamp with yellow, red and brown Marvy markers. Spritz stamp with water 4 times and then stamp onto cream cardstock. Do this three times.

Tear around the leaves in a roughly square shape. Slide edges through a gold stamp pad and dip into Ranger gold embossing powder. Heat to emboss.

Cut a strip of webbing 7” x 3 ½”. Using 1/4” strips of avocado green, maroon, sienna and brown cardstock, weave a random pattern through the webbing. Leave long edges past the webbing to help glue webbing to card front.

Arrange leaves in pattern, tucking under woven strips. Glue in place.

Flip webbing over and apply Zot Adhesive Dots to the backs of the leaves. Apply glue onto paper that is exposed. Flip over and attach to card front. Trim off any overhanging strips.

Autumn by Cheryl Rotnem

1. Cut brown cardstock to A2 size and fold. Next, cut brown swirls scrapbook paper just about 1/8- 1/4" smaller than cardstock front. Glue down.
2. Cut a bronze or copper metallic cardstock about 4 3/4" X 3" , using a Coluzzle, cut an oval in the bronze/copper cardstock to about 3 1/2" X 2 1/2".
3. Cut another piece of vanilla cardstock to fit under the bronze/copper and stamp leaves in the oval cut out, using various colors of autumn; ruby red, old olive, forest green, really rust, more mustard and close to cocoa. ( Stampin' Up!)
4. Last, stamp on a piece of scrap cardstock the word "Autumn" in really rust stipple with VersaMark ink pad and then take a small soft brush to put on pearl ex powder in copper blaze. Use a corner rounder to round corner of this word.

Resist Leaves by Wendy Kerr

With clear ink, stamp the leaf (Stampendous) several times onto cream cardstock; emboss with clear embossing powder.
Stipple with die ink. Wipe ink off of embossed leaves.
Cut cream cardstock into three 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" pieces.
Use Krylon gold pen around the edges of the three cream colored pieces; attach cream pieces to black pieces using double stick tape.
Center the three pieces to the copper cardstock; attach with tape.
Attach the copper panel to the black folded card.

Maple Leaves by Lis Whiting

Create a dark brown card for your base. Take a slightly lighter color brown (5" x 3-3/4") and outline in gold. Take two ribbons and glue to the right side of the card. Punch out four tags and add eyelets in brown. Outline each tag in gold and stamp each with a word.

Emboss four maple leaves [Serendipity Stamps] with Red Dragon Embossing Powder [Stampin’ Stuff]. (Note: This embossing powder is extraordinarily beautiful. It is a reddish orange and is very sparkly. The picture does not do it justice. I found it in Mainely Stampin’ in Fairfield, California.) Serendipity Stamps has created some of their stamps (like the maple leaf that I used) to be the same size as the McGill punches. This card goes very fast because you can punch out the leaves after you’ve embossed them! The result is gorgeous!

Glue your embossed leaves on the left side and the tags on the right side and you’re done!

Swirling Leaves by Robin Smalley

Brayer Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves ink onto white cardstock. Ink stamps (Stampin’ Up Fantastic Foliage) with pigment ink and stamp
onto cardstock. Emboss with ultra fine clear powder. Punch corners and attach to a black layer and then layer onto a pumpkin colored card.

Wild and Wonderful Wishes by Annette Lanker

Starting with a full sheet of glossy white cardstock, stamp the leaf images (CC Rubber Works) randomly over the page alternating between the Oak Leaf and Maple Leaf stamps using a VersaMark inkpad. Allow to dry and then brayer over the entire sheet using a multicolor inkpad (I used the Kaleidacolor Birthstone pad). This will allow the leaf images to pop through creating a fun background paper. Then use a Wordsworth Wild Cards template to create your card. I bordered the window with red pepper cardstock and stamped the Wordsworth sentiment: "Wild and Wonderful Wishes" in the window. This card will fit into a #10 envelope or you can create a matching envelope using the included Wild Cards template.

Fall Leaf by Wendy Kerr

Run a leaf through a Xyron machine and attach it diagonally to a 4 x 4 inch piece of rust colored cardstock. Use an embossing marker to color in parts of the cardstock, add heat and stick powder, heat, then add multi-colored foil leafing. Take a VersaMark inkpad and tap it all over the cardstock, avoid getting any on the leaf. With a soft paintbrush add Bronze, Gold and Rust Pearl Ex. Spray with a sealant. Mount as shown.

Golden Leaves by Robin Smalley

Stamp leaves (Stampin' Up Fantastic Leaves) with VersaMark ink onto green layer and then emboss with ultra fine gold embossing powder.

Stamp sentiment (Hero Arts) with Brilliance Black Pigment Ink and emboss with clear ultra fine embossing powder onto a piece of vellum.

Secure vellum with brads to green layer and then place onto a golden card.
