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.
Measurements and Details
Cajun Craze cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Arranged three stamps from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set on block and stamped the background with Cajun Craze ink. Filled in with other stamps.
Gathering Together 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper: two strips, one measuring 5 1/2 x 3/4 and the other 4 3/4 x 3/4

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.

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.

I can’t let the fall season go by without creating a few cards using the baby wipe technique. Although this technique can be used for any season or occasion, it’s really perfect for fall.
To try this technique, layer a couple of baby wipes on a protected surface such as a glass mat, silicone mat, or wax paper. Using Stampin’ Up!’s ink refills, drop dots of the ink onto the baby wipe. Be sure to cover a surface large enough for your stamps. For today’s cards, I used Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Garden Green. (In some versions, I’ve substituted Old Olive._ These colors really say “fall.”
Then, use the inked baby wipe as a stamp pad. Place your stamp in the ink and then stamp on a piece of card stock.
