Happy Monday Stampers & Crafters! Today I’m sharing the first card from this week’s Card Class To Go featuring the Simply Leaves Bundle! I CASEd today’s card from the talented Mary Fish of Stampin’ Pretty. I loved her layout and couldn’t resist creating my own version. Check out my Simply Leaves Grateful Card.

Simply Leaves Grateful Card Detials

For this card, I went with a soft Cantaloupe Crisp and Basic White color palette. Then, I added the 2026–2028 In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper. I love how the gingham gives this card a warm, cozy feel without screaming fall just yet! I started with a Basic White card stock base. Next, I added a panel of Cantaloupe Crisp gingham from the 2026–2028 In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper.

For the focal panel, I stamped the branch image on Basic White card stock using Cantaloupe Crisp Ink. Then, I matted it on Cantaloupe Crisp card stock and adhered the panel to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Next came those fun leaves!

I stamped the branch image again on Cantaloupe Crisp card stock. Then, I punched out a leaf using the Simply Leaves Punch. I also punched two additional leaves from the coordinating Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper.

After arranging the three leaves over the stamped background, I adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the mix of the solid card stock and gingham patterns!

Inside Card Details

For the sentiment, I stamped “I’m grateful for your kindness” in Cantaloupe Crisp Ink on Basic White card stock. Before adhering it to the card, I tucked a Linen Thread bow behind the sentiment. Then, I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, I added a few 2026–2028 In Color Dots for just a little bit of sparkle!

For the inside of the card I stamped the image in Crisp Cantalope Ink. Then I added a little DSP to finish it off.

This is such a sweet and simple card for letting someone know how much you appreciate them. Plus, that Cantaloupe Crisp gingham has me slowly warming up to fall crafting—even though I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to summer!
