With fall in full swing, I love using leaf-themed supplies for the cards I need to send — from birthday to thank you to congrats and more. I know I’m certainly getting my money’s worth out of Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Together Suite Collection.
The stamp set is versatile, the patterned paper is gorgeous, the dies lend themselves to many techniques, and the gems are so pretty.
So, today, I’m sharing yet another creation that I’ve made using elements from the collection.

I was just getting ready to transition from making fall-themed cards to getting ready for the Christmas holiday. But then, I took Stampin’ Up!’s first online class. (Which, by the way is still available. Get more information by clicking here.)
During this class, Stampin’ Up! designers and creators shared not only four handmade greeting cards, but also lots of helpful tips and tricks. One of the cards inspired today’s creation. I loved the layout and some of the tips and tricks, so I created my own version.
This thankful for you card definitely uses an awesome combination of Stampin’ Up! products, including: The Gathering Moments Stamp Set, the Traditional Labels Dies, and the Beautiful Motifs Dies.

Welcome to Team Stamp It’s Blog Hop. Thanks so much for joining us! This month, we feature cards and projects showcasing a Thanksgiving and fall theme. Be sure to to visit all of the participating blogs. Leave a comment on each for your chance to win the Pop-Up Pals Kit.
When I think of Thanksgiving and fall, I think of the gorgeous fall colors as the leaves change. I have vivid memories of this while growing up in North Dakota and living in Minnesota and Nebraska. With today’s card, I try to re-create that with the baby wipe technique. Be sure to watch the video below as I demonstrate how to achieve this fun look.
In addition, I’ll show you how I created the large leaf image that I stamped with. In summary, I used the large maple leaf die cut from Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Moments Dies to make my own “stamp” with adhesive foam sheets.

In an earlier post this week, I shared another handmade greeting card using the baby wipe technique. See that post and card by clicking here.
When you use this technique, you’re able to stamp many different card panels to cut and use to create other cards. I can stretch the ink and get possibly 20 additional panels. This provides me backgrounds I can use at a moments notice.
Today, I share several samples of other cards I made with the baby wipe technique and Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Moments and Simply Said stamp sets. I like these ideas because they are simple and easy to re-create.
Details and Measurements
Cherry Cobbler cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Very Vanilla cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Used the baby wipe technique and the large leaf from Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Moments stamp set to cover the panel with leaves.
Cherry Cobbler cardstock panel die cut with Branching Out Dies.
Grabbed another panel stamped with the baby wipe technique and die cut with a smaller die from the Branching Out Dies.
Sentiment from Simply Said stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink on Very Vanilla die cut label from the Textured Notes Dies.
3/8-inch Gold Striped Ribbon.
Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems.
In this next sample, I cut the stamped panel to 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and layered it on a 4 x 4 Cherry Cobbler square. The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set.
Here’s another idea using the stamped images. I cut the strips into 5 x 1/18-inch pieces and layered them on a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 4. Attached to a Very Vanilla cardstock base.
How to Video
From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I give step-by-step instructions for creating with the baby wipe technique. Keep in mind that I created a different card on this video. All of the panels used in today’s post, come from that video.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you like these projects. I love to create quick and easy cards that I can get in the mail. Please let me know if you have questions about these or other stamping projects.
