I’m always looking for different ways to use the images and dies in the bundles I buy from Stampin’ Up! The large maple leaf in the Gathering Together Dies remind me of a fun fold I created last year with the Hearts of Elegance Dies (now retired). See that post here.
Details and Measurements
Early Espresso card stock base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Basic Beige card stock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder
Two maple leaf images from the Gathering Moments Dies die cut with the Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper
Sentiment from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set stamped with Early Espresso ink, die cut with a label from the Stylish Shapes Dies
Gold Striped 3/8-inch Ribbon
Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems
Here’s what the inside of the card looks like. Note: I added a piece of Basic Beige card stock to the back of the Early Espresso base so you can write a message.
I love how easy this fun fold is. Be sure to watch the video below to see how this card comes together.
