Hello! I wish you a happy day! I’m truly thankful you stopped by. Today’s card is my second Sneak Peek of the Autumn Leaves Dies. They’re part of the All About Autumn Product Suite I showcased in my last post. You can see the entire Suite Collection here.
In the Autumn Leaves Dies, there are two dies that I refer to as “filler dies”. These dies will give you a cut embossed look and add amazing texture to the simplest of projects. I thought I would show you how I used them in today’s post.
Today’s Card Pieces & Parts
- There isn’t much to this CAS card. (CAS is an acronym for Clean And Simple). There’s lots of white space on this design, and few layers and embellishments. It meets all of the “CAS” qualifications.
- Take a look at the left side of the Very Vanilla layer in the photo above.
- I created a textured design using two of he dies from the Augumn Leaves Dies.
- I placed the longer die along the left edge of the card layer, then placed the smaller die along the right edge of the long die about an inch down from the top. With both dies secured to the layer using low tack tape, I ran it through my die cutting machine.
- Next, using the smaller die, I repeated the same process as above, making sure the bottom of the die was about an inch from the bottom of the longer die cut edge.
- I wanted a little more texture in the center of my layer, so I placed the smaller die on the edge of the last “row” and centered it.
- I created a pattern of texture that would anchor the die cut leaves.
- You can come up with your own design for these dies, and know that they are fun to use and will surely spark your creativity.
- The leaves are die cut using the small leaf dies. I used the All About Autumn foiled Designer Series Paper to die cut the leaves.
All of the product I used to make this card are from the All About Autumn Suite. It will be available for customers on September 6th with the launch of the new September-December, 2023 Mini Catalog.
So, cut a card base layer, add some amazing texture, a few elements and an embellishment or two, and create something Clean and Simple.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

What a pretty card! Both of your Autumn Leaves cards have been beautiful! This is an awesome suite of products!
Thank you. It is a beautiful Suite.
I love this card, but what dies did you use for the design under the leaves? I looked up Autumn Leaves dies and they don’t show anything like you show on this card. This card is Awesome!!
Thank you, Kathy. There are two embossing “filler” dies in the die set. One is about 3/4″ wide and about 4 1/2″ long – it has perforations in it. It actually pierces the cardstock, but doesn’t cut it. The other smaller die looks like a jagged edge rectangle. You can see both of these dies in the “Pieces & Parts” photo above. There’s also a PDF you can doenload that will give you additionbal details. I’m glad you like the desngn. It is definitely quick and easy! Thank you again.
This a very simple but elegant cared. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Sybil. Thank you for your kindness.
Beautiful card. I never know how to use the filler dies. Thank you for the inspiration.
My pleasure, Deb. Thank you for your kindness. I love to teach and am so glad you were inspired. Enjoy creating with these dies.
Wonderful card Debbie! Love the ‘de-embossing.’
