Thank you for joining my weekly live video yesterday! I loved showing you how I used the Stampin’ Up! Lustrous Leaves bundle and ink blending to create beautiful fall cards with blending brushes, ink pads and the masks from the bundle!!

Yes, this is technically a Hot Foil bundle, but as I’ve been sharing over the past weeks, I’m also trying to share the versatility of some of the Hot Foil Bundles! You can use the masks and dies without hot foil, and you can emboss with the hot foil die.. I shared that technique a couple weeks ago and also yesterday during the video!

See the Lustrous Leaves Bundle here

Below is the beautiful fall palette I used to create my leaves with fun ink blending techniques!

A stack of eight colorful ink pads stands next to two handmade greeting cards on a white wooden table. Each card features fall-themed leaf cutouts and the text “Thinking of you.” The ink pads are labeled with autumnal names like Pecan Pie, Old Olive, and Cajun Craze.

Above/Below: one tip I shared on the video is how I love to use my Stampin’ Up! Journaling pen to add circles or squares to my die cut shapes. See my Circle Template in my Amazon Craft Room essentials store.

3 Lustrous Leaves Card Tips:

A craft project features “Lustrous Leaves Bundle” stencils and blending brushes on a grid mat. To the left are stencils with orange-inked leaf patterns, while to the right are five oval blending brushes. Five die-cut, orange-toned paper leaves are scattered on the grid in the foreground. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Tip #1: use multiple colors of ink on the Lustrous Leaves masks to create shading and dimension on your leaves.

Tip #2: flick glimmer and speckles on your leaves with Shimmer Brushes

Tip #3: use your Impressions Mat to emboss with the hot foil dies instead of using foil and the Hot Foil machine.

Four die-cut paper autumn leaves in shades of orange and brown rest on a white grid cutting mat next to a gold shimmer brush. Scattered around the leaves are gold flecks created by the brush, with text overlay reading “Add glimmer and speckles with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush.” To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

See the embossing technique in the video!

A hand holds a white card featuring embossed, hand-colored autumn leaves alongside a silver metal leaf die. Text on the card reads, “Embossing with the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Die!” and “Patty Bennett pattystamps.com.” To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
