Hello Friends,
Yes, I’m so glad to have you in my life, whether you’re a real life friend, a blog friend, a Facebook friend, etc. I value you all and thank you for being in my life!
This card is perfect for letting your friends and/or family you’re glad that they’re a part of your life. The sentiment and the large leaf are both stamps from the Gather Together Stamp Set, which is my favorite Autumn set. The leaf is watercolored with Shaded Spruce Ink and the new Water Painters and is cut out with the matching die from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set. Don’t you just love it when the stamp sets have matching dies? I know I sure do!
I also used a piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and a slightly larger piece of Shaded Spruce Cardstock on the front of a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base. It is wrapped with a piece of the new 3/8″ Embroidered Ribbon, a natural open-weave ribbon with rustic embroidered design.
Three Shaded Spruce Rhinestones come from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack. This pack of self-adhesive rhinestones has 140 pieces in Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, and Shaded Spruce. This package of rhinestones are FREE this month as an online ordering gift. (See below.)
This is a really quick and easy card to make for letting everyone know how happy you are to know them!
I’ve used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper Stack on many of my cards because I love it so much! It has 48 sheets of plaids suitable for fall, winter, spring and summer. It is also one of the designer papers on sale this month. You can see all of the papers on sale below.

Hello Friends,
I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! Yesterday was World Cardmaking Day and I attended an online creative retreat. It was so much fun and I learned some new fun folds. We had a little time after each presentation to come up with our own cards using the folds. Here is the first
one I made. I used a retired stamp set because I just love this cute snowman. I felt like he went perfectly with the black and white Plaid Tidings Paper I used. Do you select the paper you’re going to use for your card or the stamp set first? I usually pick the stamp set first, but this paper was just laying on my desk waiting to be used. I love plaids, especially black and white! I used Real Red Cardstock to add some more color to the card. This card was fun and easy to make. I hope you like it!

Hello friends,
I hope everyone has had a great weekend. It’s been a busy one for me, as usual. With 4 grown children, 9 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren, there’s never a dull moment here! I usually have some, if not all of them here every weekend. I’m not complaining in any way…I love having them all together with me! We always have so much fun.
I made this gatefold card a few days ago, but haven’t shared it yet. Gatefold cards are so easy to make and really make an impact on the recipient.
Directions:
Cut Pumpkin Pie Cardstock to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 2-1/8″ on each end to make the gatefold card base.
Cut another piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock with the next to the largest die in the Stitched Nested Labels Dies Set.
Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper in half long-ways so that it each piece fits on the front flaps of the card base.
Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with the next smallest die than used for the Pumpkin Pie Cardstock. (This is where the greeting is stamped.)
Cut another piece of Whisper White Cardstock at 2″ x 4″ for the pumpkins.
Cut 2 of the 3-leaf images from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set out of Cinnamon Cider Cardstock.
Cut another of the 3-leaf images out of Rainbow Glimmer Paper.
Adhere the 2 plaid panels to the front flaps of the card base.
Stamp the greeting in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the top of the Whisper White die-cut label.
Adhere this piece onto the Pumpkin Pie label.
Adhere this to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Place the 3 die-cut leaf images below the greeting on the white label with the Rainbow Glimmer one in the middle.
Stamp the 2 pumpkin images from the Gather Together Stamp Set in Black Momento Ink and color them with Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Blends.
Cut them out with the matching dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set and adhere them toward the bottom of the leaves, leaving enough room for the Bumblebee Ribbon bow.
Tie a bow out of the Bumblebee Ribbon and place it at the bottom-left of the Whisper White label below the pumpkins.
Add 3 of the Champagne Rhinestone Embellishments above the leaves.
Stamp the bottom-left corner of a piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock with the pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie Ink and adhere to the inside of the card for your message.

Hello Friends,
I’ve been rather busy for the past couple of days and I’m sorry I have not had time to post any cards. Here’s another fall card I made using the Gather Together Stamp Set, the Gathered Leaves Dies, and the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. It was made with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2 card base of Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I’ve cut another piece of Whisper White Cardstock at 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the embossed panel on the front of the card. I only embossed the top portion of the panel, leaving about 3/4″ at the bottom for stamping my greeting. I stamped “Hello” in Bumblebee Ink on the bottom-right of this panel and adhered a 2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper above it.
The largest leaf image from the Gathered Together Stamp Set was stamped on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Black StazOn Ink. Before cutting it out with the matching die from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set, I sponged Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, and Shaded Spruce Inks on it so it looked like a fall leaf.
Next, I cut out 2 of the three-leaf images from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set using some Rainbow Glimmer Paper. All the leaves where then placed on the left side of the card front.
A Bumblebee Ribbon bow was placed on the leaves with Glue Dots. Three Champagne Rhinestone Jewels were adhered to the card front and then I sprinkled a little Bumblebee Ink with my Water Painter on the paper and the outside of the card was finished.
If you love plaid as much as I do, You need to get the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper! This pack of paper has 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ sheets, 4 each of 12 different designs. These classic all-season plaids are perfect for all your seasonal cards, scrapbooks, altered art, etc. or for your year round projects. There are several colors of cardstock that match this paper: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Seaside Spray, Shaded Spruce, and Whisper White.

Hello Friends,
I hope everyone’s had a good first half of the week. Here it is the middle of September already and it’s still hot as blazes in Florida. If you are in one of the areas where all the fires are located, I hope you are safe and that your home and property have not been destroyed. I sure hope it rains soon so it will help all the firemen and first responders fighting to keep the fires from spreading! I’m praying for everyone.
This is one of the cards I made today. (The photo is a little dark.) I’m using the Gather Together Stamp Set and the Gathered Leaves Dies again. I just love this set! I’ve added images from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, and some Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. I have to tell you, I’m having a very difficult time using this paper. I love the colors and plaids on both sides of the paper and don’t want to cut up any of it! It is perfect for Fall and Christmas. I will definitely being purchasing another paper pack before the Holiday Catalog ends. The card base is made out of a 5-1/2″ by 8-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock, folded and scored in the middle. I placed a 4″ by 5-1/4″ piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper to the left side of the card base so that the sides are even. Next, I embossed a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with a retired brick-looking embossing folder. (Stampin’ Up! now has a new 3-D folder called the Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder.) I sponged around the edges of it with Rich Razzleberry Ink and adhered it to the left side of the card base, as well.
I inked up the middle of the tree stump image from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set with Cinnamon Cider, stamped it on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut it out with my Paper Snips. It was then glued onto the right side of the embossed panel. The largest leaf in the Gather Together Stamp Set was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White in Black StazOn Ink. I used Sponge Daubers to apply Rich Razzleberry, Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, and Shaded Spruce Inks onto it and then cut it out with the matching die. Two of the smaller leaf images were also cut out of Shaded Spruce Cardstock with the matching dies from the Gathered Leaves Die Set and the tips were sponged with Mossy Meadow Ink. Unfortunately, the wheat image from the stamp set does not have a die to match, so I stamped two of them in Bumblebee Ink and cut them out with my Paper Snips. It was a lot easlier than it looked so I was happy with that! Lastly, I stamped the greeting in Rich Razzleberry Ink and punched it out with the new Banners Pick a Punch.
After layering everything on the card front, I took my Water Painter, squeezed a little water and ink in the lid of my Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. You don’t need too much water-just enough to water it down a little bit. Dip the Water Painter in the ink and water and sprinkle it on the card by flicking the end of the painter. Tie a bow with Linen Thread, add some bling and you’re ready to work on the inside of your card.
