Hello Fall with Another Gather Together Card
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.

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.
