Autumn Leaves and Pumpkin Spice Card

Hi, friends! I’m Lauren from Lauren Taylor Made, and I’m back with another card-making post to share with you today. For this project, I wanted to embrace all the cozy fall vibes and make a card that celebrates everyone’s favorite seasonal treat… the pumpkin spice latte! I combined some of my favorite dies from my stash with Cardstock Warehouse paper to bring rich autumn tones together in a fun layered design.

Supplies:

• Cardstock Warehouse cardstock paper:
  • Colorplan 100 lb. Racing Green and Rust
    
  • Madero Beach Speckletone Cardstock
• Craft Supplies:
  • Waffle Flower Crafts Pumpkin Spice Latte Die Set and Fall Leaves Background Stencil
    
  • Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany, Candied Apple, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, and Pine Needles
  • Copper Glitter Pops of Color
  • Kuretake – Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Watercolor
• Adhesives:
  • Liquid Glue
  • Adhesive Foam Squares
  • Tape Runner

I started by die cutting all of my pieces for the latte and embellishments. I used Racing Green cardstock for the mug, Rust cardstock for the little pumpkin accent, and Madero Beach cardstock for the whipped cream and a couple of fall leaves. For the background, I cut a leaf panel out of Madero Beach cardstock, layered it over Rust cardstock, and used a coordinating stencil to ink-blend fall colors into the leaves. I added some splatters of gold watercolor for texture and brushed a bit of ink onto the die cut leaves to bring them to life.

Once everything was prepped, I assembled my latte mug and sentiment, popped them up on the background panel, and glued it all onto an A2 card base.

To finish things off, I added Copper Glitter Pops of Color to give the card a touch of sparkle. I love how all the layers of cardstock and details came together. It feels just like fall in card form!
