Brand-new products for fall, Thanksgiving, winter, Christmas, and more debut Wednesday, September 3, 2025. Look for both the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog and the September Online Exclusive products to go live. I’ve had a chance to play with a few of the new offerings. (Click here to view a full-color PDF showing all of the new releases.)
Today, I share a fall-themed card using products from the Gathering Together Suite Collection. Find it as an Online Exclusive beginning Wednesday, September 3.
All of the products shown above are available with one ordering number (#165987), but you’re also able to purchase each of the elements individually.
Check out this post (click here) to see another card created with this suite using a fun and shiny heat embossing technique.

Sometimes you just need a quick little box to package a gift. Today, I show you a quick, easy-peasy gift box that uses one-third of a piece of 12 x 12 patterned paper. That means you can make three boxes from one sheet. The boxes are perfect for small treats such as lip balms, mini candy bars, three Lindt chocolates, and more.
Note: Stampin’ Up! shared the directions for this box during Creativity Now, an online demonstrator event held in June. I loved it so much I just had to share with all of you.
Measurements and Details
Paper measuring 11 x 4. For today’s featured card, I used the sunflower pattern from the Blooms Impressions Designer Series Paper. (Hint: This Designer Series Paper is currently 15 percent off as part of Stampin’ Up!’s August 2025 sale on In Color products. Click here to see what’s on sale.) In addition to Designer Series Paper, I experimented with two-tone card and also tried regular card stock.
On the 11-inch side, score at 3 inches, 4 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. On the 4-inch side score at 1 inch ad 3 inches.
Cut on the score lines on the 11-inch side. (Be sure to watch the video below to see how this box comes together.)
Adhere small tabs to create box.
Embellish any way you like. For this box, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies, a sentiment from Beautiful Motifs, Darling Duckling ink, and Darling Duckling ribbon.
This next sample uses products from Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new Peaceful Garden Suite Collection. It’s available for order beginning September 3 in the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog. Want to get your hands on some of the holiday orders BEFORE September 3? Purchase Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit and add holiday catalog items to your kit. Contact me for more information. Or, click here to join my team.
For this final sample, I grabbed a piece of Petunia Pop two-tone card stock and stamped it with the large flower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set as well as the sentiment from Simply Said and Petunia Pop ribbon.
I hope you give these boxes a try. They are so quick and easy and can be made with almost any patterned paper or card stock.

Ok, one more card using this versatile layout. (Now that it’s the beginning of August, I’ve moved on from Christmas in July. Not to worry, I’ll resume sharing the holiday cards again soon.)
I’ve had Stampin’ Up!’s Cheers Sips Bundle for awhile, and I haven’t had a chance to dig into it. I love how the layout works for this card, too. (See this post for the original card and layout.)
I think this is just a fun, upbeat, and celebratory bundle. Find it as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives.
