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’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.

Basic Beige card stock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder

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.
