Card making doesn’t have to be difficult! Stampin’ Up! offers a lot of ways to make creating easy. With today’s card, I feature the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder, a folder with a coordinating die that cuts ten sentiments with one crank of the die cut machine. Have these sentiments on hand for whenever you need them. Or, make a quick stack of cards, all ready to send out.
For the focal piece, the leaf, I used a leftover leaf (Gathering Moments Dies), from this card I created earlier in the week. Click here to see that post and a coordinating video.

I’m a huge fan of pretty paper! And, there are a lot of pretty papers available right now in Stampin’ Up!’s offerings. One of them is the Gathering Together 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper.
