I love Lawn Fawn Inspiration Weeks, don't you?!!!!
Today the Design Team is featuring the brand new Stitched Leaves Dies and the Woodgrain Backdrops Stamps!
This is actually the first completed LFDT project I created coming back from my long hiatus and it ranks up there with one of my most favorite stamped projects, ever.
I love fall. The colors, the cooler temps, sweaters, hot cocoa, football games, back to school, regular t.v. shows coming back and of course, fall leaves! I knew the minute I saw the new LF Stitched Leaves Lawn Cuts what I wanted to create with them.... my own shadowbox/pinboard of Distress Inked fall leaves to use with my fall/autumn home decor!
I die cut the tags from a variety of neutral backgrounds (wood paper, canvas and white cardstock) using the brand new Tag You're It Lawn Cuts.
The "title tag' was created using a couple of older stamp sets from Stampin' Up (listed below) that I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The awesome canvas letters spelling "autumn" were die cut using the brand new Cole's ABC's Lawn Cuts! I adore these new alpha dies.
I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks on the die cut leaves, mixing 2-3 colors per leaf to get the desired color and then I spritzed them with a mini mister to get the "splotchy" water effect. Tim's inks play nicely with water and the ink moves when it comes into contact with the water droplets giving the colorful leaves awesome "texture".
I used tiny tiny stick pins (old, old, old Making Memories product!) to attach the leaves to my tags and the canvas background of my frame.
Then I added additional detailing like the Lawn Fawn Gold Sparkle Twine, Into the Woods Sequins, bookplates, Tim Holtz metal embellishments and additional stamping.
The names of the leaves were stamped with my new most favorite Lawn Fawn stamp alpha ever... Milo's ABC's!
This is definitely a more sophisticated look using Lawn Fawn products but it totally works! ;)
And the best part, IMO?
Everything in this frame is completely removable! I attached everything with mini straight pins (even the sequins) so that I can change it up from season to season if I want to! ;)

With the smaller leaves from the Stitched Leaves Lawn Cuts (that I cut at the same time as the larger leaves) I created this card featuring the Woodgrain Backdrops Stamp Set.
I created a tree "trunk" using the woodgrain backdrop. First I stamped the large heart from the set, masked the design and then stamped the tree trunk. I popped the tree up with foam adhesive on a tree background paper from the Into the Woods 6x6 Paper Pad. Then I added the colored critters, acorns and the smaller Stitched Leaves Lawn Cuts colored just like the project above. :) I love how it looks like a tree losing it's leaves!
A greeting and another heart stamped inside the card finish the design.
