It’s not a secret that my favorite patterned-paper-of-the-moment is Stampin’ Up!s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I love the foil accents and the rich fall colors. And, I love that I get a chance to use my Cajun Craze card stock.
I made these for a team gathering with different papers and belly bands, adorned with a Gold Foil leaf embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder.
I’ve used this Designer Series Paper in a number of projects throughout the last month.
