Fall fest glimmer - two cool 
 
I have to say that I'm a sucker for a simple, elegant-style card and this monochromatic Fun Fall Glimmer Leaves card definitely fits the criteria!  We'll be creating this card at my "Last Thursdays" class this week!

Background Basics—I started with a simple Whisper White card base, then added a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Suede card stock.  The 3-3/4" x 5" neutral patterned background is from the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper pack.

Die-Cut Leaves—I die-cut the leaves from a 1-3/4" x 5" piece of Soft Suede card stock with the tiny Fall Fun Framelits leaves.  TIP: Line up all three different shapes in a row, leaving room for one more at the end, and run them through the Big Shot all at once.  Then, you can run the final leaf through a second time.
 
Shimmering Recessed Windows—I adhered a 1-1/2" x 4-7/8" piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper to the card front first.TIP: I like to use Sticky Strip to adhere it because SNAIL doesn't like to stick to the back of the Glimmer Paper very well.
 
Next, I added half-cut Dimensionals to the corners and in-between the windows of the die-cut layer and attached that over the top of the glimmer paper.  TIP: I flipped the die-cut layer over and had the "wrong side" up because I didn't want the indents from the framelits showing around the windows.
 
Oh, by the way…the glimmer recessed leaves look simply AWESOME!  The photos do not do it justice!

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Merry Everything sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar ink onto Whisper White card stock, then punched it with the Note Tag Punch.
 
Bundle It & Save! Purchase the Merry Everything stamp set and Note Tag Punch together in the Merry Everything Bundle and save 15% off the cost of purchasing them separately.
 
Finishing Touches—I added a Gold Basic Metal Button to the top of the tag with a Glue Dot.  The White Baker's Twine bow was tied separately, then adhered to the button with another Glue Dot.

Don't throw away those leaf die-cuts!  Might as well use them to dress up the inside of the card!

I flipped sides for my second card, and tried a For All Things sentiment.

The elegance of this card makes it perfect for lots of occasions.  I could have easily used a birthday greeting instead for an autumn birthday, or a congratulations phrase for a fall wedding or other special event.  It's also a card that comes together very quickly, so it's great for mass-production thank yous!
