Cozy Up Your Cards: Altenew’s Crispy Leaves Die Set & Textured Tiles Embossing Folder

Hello, crafty friends!

Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful autumn-inspired card featuring some gorgeous goodies from Altenew’s releases — including the Crispy Leaves Die Set from the August release and a sneak peek of the upcoming Textured Tiles Embossing Folder and One-Go: Solid Sentiment Strips 3 Press Plate from the September release.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and this card really captures that cozy, warm feeling with rich colors and textured layers. 

Step 1: Embossed Background with a Shimmering Touch

I began with a 4" x 5¼" panel of Vineyard Berry Cardstock and ran it through my embossing machine with the brand-new Textured Tiles Embossing Folder (such a stunning design!). To really make the pattern pop, I gently rubbed some Altenew Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink over the raised edges, adding a soft glow that catches the light beautifully.

Step 2: Layering with Luxe Metallics

Next, I cut a slightly larger panel (4⅛" x 5⅜") of Brushed Gold Metallic Cardstock and glued my embossed panel on top. This gold base adds an elegant shine and gives the card a rich layered look.

Step 3: Die-Cut Leaves in Fall Hues

The star of the card is definitely the Crispy Leaves Die Set. I die cut leaves in beautiful fall shades — deep greens, burnt oranges, and gold metallic — then arranged them in a small cluster on the card front. To add dimension and interest, I popped the leaves up on foam tape.

Step 4: Sentiment That Stands Out

For my sentiment, I used the upcoming One-Go: Solid Sentiment Strips 3 Press Plate. I stamped it with black ink using Altenew’s BetterPress System, trimmed it to size, and added it to the card front with foam tape for a bit of height.

Step 5: The Final Touch

To finish it all off, I adhered the layered panel onto a classic A2 black card base. The dark background really makes all the rich colors and textures stand out and gives the card a polished, professional look. Of course, I added a few Gold Satin Sequins for some sparkle!

This card is a perfect way to celebrate the changing season with layers, textures, and warm, cozy colors. I hope it inspires you to create your own autumn-themed projects!
