Step it up With Beautiful Autumn

A while back I did a FB Live video showing some step it up cards using the Beautiful Gilded Autumn set and the Autumn Punch Pack from the 2020 August - December Mini Catalog.  It was so fun and had a great response - so I thought I would post the video and the cards here. Especially since the Autumn Punch Pack is currently discounted 30% and is a MUST HAVE!!

The first note card I made was super simple - just a sentiment and a spattering of the little leaves that were punched out of several colors of card stock - even some shiny gold.

Here's the next card - to step it up, I just added a layer of Mossy Meadow and put this onto an A2 card base.  Added a bow and some gems - and there you go - beautiful.

The final stepped-up version took it to a new level by running the Very Vanilla layer through the emboss machine; punching out the sentiment and adding a layer behind it, and scattering some additional leaves punched from DSP.

I love all three versions - and was fun showing how added elements can change the look of the card.  But me - I'm a clean and simple gal - I like number one best.  How about you? Leave a comment and let me know.
