Welcome to our October posting of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne (from Pennsylvania) and I (from California) have been working with a photo for inspiration this week. It’s very autumnal, very colorful, and it has been super fun to work with! I love the beautiful leaves and chose the Autumn Leaves Bundle for my card.
Here’s the photo:
Here’s my card:
I love the sentiment that comes in this bundle: “Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful.” From one who avoids change at all costs, it is a great reminder to accept change as a beautiful new beginning!
Materials & Measurements:
- Cherry Cobbler Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
- Very Vanilla Cardstock, cropped with Deckled Circles Dies, 5″x 4-1/4″; and for the inside 5-1/4″x 4″; and for the sentiment 2″x 1-1/2″ cropped with Autumn Leaves Dies
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″, embossed with Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder
- Leaves cropped from Autumn Leaves Dies, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Bubble Bath, and Daffodil Delight
Process:
And it was a process! To begin with, I cut out all the leaves, 3 or 4 of each color. Then I brushed some extra color on each one- Calypso Coral on the Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Bubble Bath leaves, and Gorgeous Grape onto the Cherry and Red leaves.
Then I arranged the leaves onto the panel of Mossy Meadow Cardstock, embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. [I don’t think this was necessary as you can barely notice it!] Once I was satisfied with the arrangement, I glued them down and cropped the whole piece with the 4-1/4″ Deckled Circle Die.
Next I glued the Vanilla Deckled Circle to the base, followed with the leafy circle. I added the sentiment, stamped with Cherry Cobbler onto Very Vanilla, with Dimensionals.
One 2023-25 In Color Dot is the only embellishment. I think the card is embellished enough, don’t you? 🙂
I would love to hear what you think!

I love what you did and your color combination. I think all your hard work shows and was worth it.
Thank you, Kathy! Yes, this card was a bit of a labor of love, but fun to make.
What a beautiful card!!! And the colors!! I just got out some of my older leaf stamps and dies and played around a bit this afternoon, but nothing I did comes close to this!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

This is such a pretty interpretation of the photo, Karen. The ink blending on the leaves is perfect. Thanks for coming up with this month’s theme.
Thanks, Rosanne! Looking forward to next month’s posting!
