Scrap Paper Art for Autumn

Gather These Supplies

Fall scrapbook paper
Sheets of 8.5 x 11 white cardstock – 2
Glue or double stick tape
Frame (optional)
Craft knife and mat (optional)
Leaf template or Cut file

Cut the Paper

First cut out several strips of scrapbook paper. Don’t worry about making them all the same size. I think a little variety adds interest to the project.

Just make sure they are long enough to go across the width of the leaf template. You can also piece scraps together horizontally using tape on the back.

Attach it to the Background

Glue the strips of paper across one piece of white card stock, slightly overlapping the edges. Lots of double stick tape works well too.

Create the Leaf Template

Cut a leaf out of the center of a second sheet of card stock using the template or cut file provided. I used my Silhouette, but a pair of scissors or craft knife works too.
