DIY Copper Leaf Specimen Art

Hi friends!  It’s September and so many of you are already starting to feel the change in the weather with cooler temps and a crispness in the air.  The upcoming change in seasons means one thing, Fall decorating!  I thought it would be fun to start the Fall season with this simple DIY Copper Leaf Specimen Art.

Supplies:

Cricut Explore
Copper cardstock
White cardstock
Glue stick or tape runner

This DIY Copper Leaf Specimen Art is really an easy project, you can probably finish it in an hour from start to finish.  With the copper cardstock it brings a bit of those popular and fabulous metallics to your decor.

I did a quick search online for some leaf silhouettes.  Once I found what I wanted which ended up being 16 different varieties, I uploaded my images to Cricut Design Space.

When the image has been uploaded to Cricut Design Space I can turn the image in to a cuttable image easily.

Then I insert all the images I want to cut and size them.

Then it’s as easy as just hitting GO!  Load the mat with the copper cardstock.

Switch the turn dial to cardstock and press the Cricut GO button.

Once everything is cut remove it from the cutting mat and arrange on your white cardstock.  Either gluing or using a tape runner to adhere.

Place in a cute frame or hang from a simple clipboard.  Either way you’ve got a fabulous little bit of Fall decor ready for your mantel or Fall display.
