I am super excited to share a video tutorial with you today, so that you can create these gorgeous fall leaves and make these fun fall cards using your Stampin' UP! watercolor paper, reinkers, an Aquapainter and a Gold Wink of Stella pen!
I couldn't stop making these cards with the Leaflets framelits! I made about 30 cards.. it's so fun to watercolor these pretty backgrounds and die cut these beautiful leaves!
All of the cards feature the Woodland embossing folder in the background and the pretty leaves are attached on top of the folder background. Watch the video below for all the details and tips for adding the leaves! 🙂
The Give Thanks greeting is new, from the 2016 Holiday catalog, page 43, in the Suite Seasons stamp set. I stamped it in Early Espresso ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, and punched the left end with the Banner Triple Punch.
The ribbon is 2 layers: 5/8" burlap ribbon and 1/4" natural trim gold ribbon, both on pg 178 in the annual catalog. I find the burlap kind of bulky for knots or bows, so I just put a strip of it on the card.. you'll see that in the video. Then I tied the gold natural ribbon around this top-fold card.
One thing you'll notice as you make these, every one of these cards turns out different. I just love them! Watch the video below to see how I created the waterecolor backgrounds and also a tip for die cutting the watercolor paper and the Pumpkin Pie glimmer paper.
Watch the VIDEO below to see how I made these beautiful fall leaf cards with the Stampin Up! Leaflets framelits.

Watercolor Wash Background Leaves:

- splatter more ink to the same side
- when dry, splatter Gold Wink of Stella onto the watercolored paper
- die cut with Leaflet Framelits and Botanical Builder leaf framelits
- apply to card or crafting project

Patty's FREE VIDEO tutorials
Good morning Patty, I LOVE your video and I’m going to make these cards. So very PRETTY. I “m going to add some Acorns to my cards using the Acorny Thank You on top of some of the leaves. Thank you soooo much for sharing your video. I can’t wait to make these gorgeous cards. Have a great day.
Wow! I am doing this for the group of women I stamp for fun with every month. Your excitement is SO contagious, Patty! I just love watching your videos. They brighten my day and make me happy to stamp, Thank you for making them and for sharing this beautiful card!
Wow Patty, those leaves are stunning!! Thanks so much for your detailed step-by-step instructions, it was super easy to follow. Every single card you showed was beautiful and I love how different each watercolor piece turns out. I think the scraps would look really pretty with black paper behind them, sort of as a silhouette to make the outlined leaves really pop. Wouldn’t that be pretty hanging up in a grouping? Or maybe laminate them and use them as little placemats 🙂 Thanks again for sharing, I can’t wait to try this technique too!
WOW! Fabulous leaves. Great idea watercoloring the whole sheet of paper first.
OH what a lovely card and such a great video, thank you!
Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us. Fyi, you did not list the stamp set used for your greeting. 😉
Patty! Oh my gosh, those leaves are so pretty! You have so inspired me that I am going to go make some watercolor paper right now! I’ve had an autumn wreath in my head since last fall and I could never get it to look just right. This is the answer! Thank you for sharing.
WOW! AWESOME!!!
WOW, Patti, stunning leaves. Such a great video, too. Thank you for sharing!!
Patty,
These are simply gorgeous! I think these are some of the most beautiful cards I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing this technique!
Oh, I love these cards Patty and I sure am going to try this idea. Your video’s are so fun to watch and they are so helpful to me. Thank you for all your help.
Wow. Spectacular card. Makes you kind of want to just jump into all those fall leaves and roll around. Great video on this technique will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing your creativity Patty.
Love these cards. I love the fall leaves and the glimmer really knocks it out!
Hi Patty, I love the cards. I have a question. What is the size of the maple leaf?
Patty,
These leaves are just so real life. I loved every minute of your video. I have saved this and am going to try these myself. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
