As crazy as it sounds the last rain showers brought yellow leaves fluttering down along the roadsides and in my front yard. It seems way too early with our 90 degree days but these little leaves are always the first sign of fall for me. And for some reason they always catch me by surprise every year the first time I see them. Then I have to remind myself that it is mid August and the hot days won’t last much longer. So that got me thinking about leaves and the Gather Together Bundle that has some wonderful images and dies for our fall crafting needs. Check out these lovely cards done with this Bundle.
This first card uses our new In Color Cinnamon Cider and the maple leaf has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends – love, love, love this coloring option for bold colors!
The Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (153520) was used along with the Timeless Label Punch (149516).
This next card uses our Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) and the embossing dies that are part of the bundle. They cut and emboss texture at the same time which is pretty cool.
Gather Together
open it and you have a fun little surprise – the sentiment panel is attached to the card front only giving you a different look that allows the card to stand on it’s own.
Gather Together
Some simple stamping and die cutting creates this lovely card.
Gather Together
And how about this final card? It uses the wonderful Faux Suede Trim (152472) and the lovely wood print from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494)
Gather Together
Don’t these cards make you think of crisp autumn nights? I always love the rich color combos for fall and this years’ In Color, Cinnamon Cider and the new Designer Series Papers are a lot of fun.
Today’s cards all use the Autumn Greetings Bundle and the lovely Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Autumn Greetings stamp set uses a lovely swirly font and also includes a friendship sentiment making it more versatile for those fall cards.
This first card uses the dies along with the Timeless Label Punch (149516) and check out the Gold Edged Metallic Ribbon (144146) teamed up with the foil in the Designer Series Paper for a bit of elegance.
This next card uses the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690) to create a wonderful frame for the sentiment.
And this final card uses the lovely line image as it’s focal point. The card was created using a gable fold that has been dry embossed with the Wrapped in TextureEmbossing Folder (153574).
I love the way that our Designer Series Paper give us a color pallet that makes creating easier and ties all kind of our products together. The coordination that Stampin’ Up! provides has always been one of the things that has drawn me to their products. How about you?

Last week I held my monthly Team Meeting, it is one of my favorite days of the month. We gather, share, stamp, and enjoy time with each other. I’m blessed with a wonderful team that is also a great group of stampers. Because we all have been stamping for different lengths of time and have different styles, I always look forward to seeing what they have been creating.
Want to see? The theme for our swap this month was fall and none of the projects disappoint!
Here is a great treat box with a drawer that slides out
filled with a banana Twinkie, yum.
And a cute little sticky note holder using our Stitched Nested Label Dies.
And here is a quick and easy wrap for some mini chocolate bars – the sentiment is from the Painted Harvest stamp set found in our Annual Catalog.
And a few more cards
Pat created this next project using our Copper Embossing Powder and the trifold card measurements I shared with you earlier
And this final card uses our Gift of Fall Add On Note Card, the coordinating Paper Pumpkin stamp set, along with the Seasonal Layers Dies and Rectangle Stitched Dies.
I love the way that our Paper Pumpkin Kits coordinating with our products, allowing us to have even more options.
And of course every team meeting includes celebrating accomplishments, stamping, and learning new things too.

It finally feels a little bit like fall here in North Georgia with some cooler temperatures, while it is still in the 80s there’s a hint of cooler weather coming our way. And after spending the evening last night with my daughter and her band, watching them and the other county’s High School bands perform their half time shows it feels more like fall to me too.
Check out this fun fall card that we make using the Come to Gather Suite of products found in the Holiday Catalog.
This suite is filled with those colors that make us think of fall and I’m loving the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack with it’s rich satin edge ribbon and linen thread – perfect for a range of products.
Today’s card uses the Brick & Motar 3d Embossing Folder to create some texture and interest in the background. Our embossing folders are perfect for this and make it quick and easy too.

Last Chance to Sign Up for Your November Paper Pumpkin Kit
Today’s card is the one I designed for my November Birthday cards that I’ll be sending out today. This birthday card uses a fun technique that is one of my favorites to create fall colored leaves. It is called the Baby Wipe Technique.
This card layout is also one of my favorites since it is clean and simple but still packs a wow. And with the Baby Wipe Technique everyone will wonder how you created leaves with fall color too.
I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial so you can recreate the Baby Wipe Technique for your projects!

Today’s project was one that I made for my Holiday Catalog Kick Off this past Saturday. It’s a great little box and it folds flat which makes it a lot of fun and super when you need to travel with something.
It uses the Country Home stamp set a fast becoming a favorite of mine and who can resist the Tile Tin Dynamic Embossing Folder – so perfect for a vintage feel.
I found these yummy little Russell Stover Pecan Delights as treats to go inside. I think the wrapper looks like Cajun Craze, how about you?
