Leaf Peeping

 Have you ever heard of leaf peeping? Probably depends on where you live. Leaf Peeping is like walking through the woods and enjoying or looking for the leaves as the colors change. The North and the Midwest are especially beautiful during this time of year. 

Leaves have so much color which is fun to play with for making cards, I took all of my orange and brown distress sprays and just went to town making pretty paper. I also added a mica spray because I LOVE to add a little sparkle. 

Next time to cut out lots and lots of leaves. 

Here is my leaf pile for the bottom of my card, then I picked two leaves to add some interactive elements.

First interactive element is a slider. If I'm making a falling leaf card I really wanted to have a leaf that would slide down. I added two levels of dimensional foam so that if you pick the card up the leaf would fall into the pile. To make the slider was pretty straight forward. Die cut your slider spot, then cut a circle of paper. Add dimensional adhesive to the leaf and then just add the circle to the dimensional adhesive on the other side of the slider hole on the paper. I really should make a little video, it's super easy once you've seen it done. 

I then added a wobbler leaf because this also seemed like the perfect leaf interaction for falling leaves. Throw on the Papertrey Ink sentiment and ta dah! Super cute fall card!
