This particular card was done with a combination of paper and fabric. Printed fabrics are available in a wide variety of designs that are appropriate for a fall card, or solid-colored fabric cut to shape works well too. A coordinating piece of sackcloth, a few buttons, and a little raffia add some dimension to the effect.
The leaf in this example was selected fresh from the outdoors and secured to the card front using 5 metal eyelets. Hammering the holes and attaching the eyelets is my son's favorite part.

And if you don't have a sewing machine, hand-stitching makes for an even more personal touch.
