So Glad You’re in my Life!
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!

The card base is made from Cajun Craze Cardstock. The next layer is a panel of Very Vanilla which was embossed with the Old World 3-D Embossing. The leaves and pumpkin images are from the Gather Together Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! All the large leaves and the pumpkin were embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and ink was sponged onto them. The smaller leaves were cut out of Cinnamon Cider Cardstock. Once everything was adhered to the card front, I added a Bumblebee Ribbon, the Gold Hoop, and Gold Rhinestones. I love inking the leaves like this. I live in Florida now and sure do miss the changing of the leaves. I usually try to spend time in near the Smoky Mountains in October so I can see all the beautiful colors, but will not be going this year because of Covid. Hopefully I won’t miss going next year. Get your Gather Together Stamp Set, the matching Gathered Leaves Dies, and the Gold Hoops so you can make your Autumn cards now. Make sure to Code for the month of September is 
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.
