Fall is in the air, and the perfect time to use the Gathering Moments Bundle! I began by stamping leaves, acorns and berries in four colors of ink on Basic Beige Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Early Espresso, and Cajun Craze. Then, I used their Gathering Moments Dies for cutting.
Thankful for You
The background is Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with the second largest Textured Notes Die. This was layered on Woven Textures Designer Paper, cut with the largest Textured Notes Die. Both layers were glued to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Next, I glued the Crushed Curry leaves flat, glued the Cajun Craze berries to the Old Olive leaves, attached the leaves with Dimensionals, and attached the acorns with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “Thankful for you,” was stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and cut with the smallest Textured Notes Die. I glued this to the same Woven Textures DSP, cut with the second smallest Textured Notes Die, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three, Antique Pearls.
I was inspired by TGIF.

We’re having warm days in San Diego, so I enjoyed cooling down with today’s, snow scene, Christmas card.
Snow Scene for Christmas
I began by using a Scenic Adventure Die to cut the row of trees from Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 3″, along with a pair of trees.
Then, I glued the row of trees to Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, 6″ X 6″, and used the second largest Branching Out Die for cutting.This would give the entire piece a nice, stitched edge.
After this first cut, I decided to use the largest Branching Out Die to cut Basic White Cardstock for a frame. After gluing the two together, I attached it with Dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued the pair of trees in place.
“Merry Christmas” was cut from Silver Foil, using Word Wishes Dies, a retired set. But, there is a new set, Words for the Season, that includes these words. You can see it in my Product List below. To complete the sentiment, I dotted the “i” with a tiny Rhinestone.

Hot off the press: Stampin’ Up! is having a one-day-only stamp sale, tomorrow September 18. Come back tomorrow for a link to the sale product list.
The starting point for today’s card was to cut three squares, using the third largest, Stylish Shapes Die. The squares were cut from two designer papers: Season Of Elegance and Regals Distressed Patterns. Then, I glued the squares together, turned on the diagonal, and placed them on Dimensionals. To decorate the squares, I used a Scenic Adventure Die to cut pine trees from the same, Season Of Elegance DSP. The trees were layered with cardstock for thickness, and glued in place.
Stylish Shapes Christmas
Next, I cut the background from Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and gave it texture with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The word “Christmas” was cut from gold, Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. After layering it for thickness, I glued it on top of the trees. To complete the design, I added three Adhesive Backed Birds in gold.
I was inspired by TGIF.

This week’s challenge at TGIF is an “inspiration challenge.”
I remembered a similar scene from Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, which made it easy to play along.
Misty Moonlight
I began by cutting the designer paper with the second largest, Textured Notes Die. Then, I layered it on Fresh Freesia Cardstock, cut with the largest, Textured Notes Die. After gluing the layers together, I glued them to a Misty Moonlight card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Isn’t the color name, Misty Moonlight, perfect for this card?
I thought it would make a good sympathy card, and stamped “with deepest sympathy” in Secret Sea Ink. This sentiment is from the Peace On Earth Stamp Set from the 2025 September-December Mini Catalog, available September 3. To complete the card, I added twinkle to the sky with three, Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Today’s card is featuring Country Woods Designer Paper. I rarely use an entire pack of paper, but this has been a favorite, and I’m down to bits and pieces. I managed to have enough for this background by cutting strips, using a Textured Notes Die. I lined up the ten strips on a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Country Woods Wishes
After gluing nine strips in place, I stamped the tenth strip with a sentiment in Early Espresso Ink, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals. “You A Happy Birthday” is from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. The first part of the sentiment, “Wishing,” is from the coordinating, Delightful Wishes Die Set. I cut the word from Country Woods DSP, and backed it with Basic Beige Cardstock.
To complete the design, I used a Thankful Garden Die to cut leaves from another piece of Country Woods Designer Paper. Then, I added three, Neutral Matte Dots in white, as a final touch.
I was inspired by the TGIF Challenge.

I was excited to share my first card with products from the Peace On Earth Suite in the 2025 Holiday Catalog. You may be familiar with it, because it was used for Stampin’ Up!’s Creativity Now event in June. If you like birds, you will want these doves, when it becomes available to customers September 3. Aren’t they fabulous, cut from Basic White Cardstock?
Anniversary Doves
The square behind the doves was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die from Peaceful Garden Designer Paper. This square was layered for thickness and glued to another pattern of Peaceful Garden Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/2″. Then, both were glued to a Cloud Cover card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Happy Anniversary” is from the Mixed Labels Stamp Set. I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink On Peaceful Garden DSP, used a Mixed Labels banner die for cutting, and layered it for thickness. I attached it in the middle with Dimensionals, and glued the ends. These items are part of the Last Chance Sale, and you can see the discounted prices by clicking on the pictures in my Product List below. The card was completed with 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Cloud Cover.
I was inspired by the sketch at TGIF.
