Gathering Together 2 for 1



Let's make these cards! Gather your supplies:

1. Crushed Curry cardstock--card bases are 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side and folded in half
2. Basic White cardstock--scraps or a piece 8 1/2" by 2" for the sentiment and leaves/acorn for the first card, for the inside pieces 3 3/4" by 5". 1/2" scrap by about 3" for the sentiment on the second card
3. Cajun Craze cardstock--4 3/8" by 5 3/8"
4. Gathering Together DSP--for each card 4" by 5 1/4", second piece 1 1/4" by 5" for the first card
5. Stamp Set--Gathering Moments, Beautiful Butterflies
6. Dies--Gathering Moments
7. Ink--Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Pecan Pie
8. Old Olive & Espresso Linen Thread
9. Linen Thread
10. Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder
11. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Start by using the large leaf dies and cut it at an angle on the Cajun Craze cardstock. Fold the card base in half on the score line. Attach the plaid piece of DSP to the card front. Take the 1 1/4" by 5" piece and flag the ends and attach that in the middle. Attach the Cajun Craze leaf on top of that with Dimensionals.


Let's do some stamping now. Stamp the leaves and cut them out with the dies--the largest in Cajun Craze, the other two in Crushed Curry and Old Olive and the acorn in Pecan Pie.  Gather them together how you'd like and then attach to the bottom of the big leaf. Tie a large bow with the Old Olive & Espresso Linen Thread and attach with a Mini Glue dot. Attach the acorn on top with a Dimensional.

Stamp the sentiment with Old Olive and fussy cut it out. Attach it with Dimensionals on the right side and a bit of glue on the left side where it overlaps the leaf.

  

Attach the large Basic White piece to the inside (I didn't stamp on that but you could stamp a leaf or two.

For the second card, run the other part of the Cajun Craze cardstock through your Cut and Emboss machine inside the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. Attach the piece of DSP behind it. Wrap the Linen Thread twice around and tie a bow. Attach this to the card base.


Stamp the sentiment (from Beautiful Butterflies) in Crushed Curry on the 1/2" piece of Basic White. Slant cut the ends and attach it with Dimensionals. 



For the inside, Stamp the sentiment (from Beautiful Butterflies) in Crushed Curry on the 3 3/4" by 5" piece of Basic White and attach to the inside of the card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Sentimental Christmas Fun Fold Card I think the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper is just so soft, beautiful and a little bit retro. I also love that for every pack of this paper you buy, Stampin' Up will donate $3 to children's literacy in the US, which makes it twice as nice. So please buy this DSP! It makes such lovely cards--I used 3 different DSPs on this one card. And I am not sure you can tell by looking at the picture above, but it is a fun fold too! If you get stuck, or are just a more visual learner, please watch my Facebook Live below where I made this card. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to make another card with me. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Lost Lagoon cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/4" scored on the long side at 4 1/4".  2. Basic White cardstock--a piece 4" by 5 1/4" for the inside of your card and 3/4" scrap about 4" long 3. Poppy Parade cardstock--a piece cut with the 7th largest...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
