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.

In today’s project, I use the paper to create a fun gift bag. (Project inspired by the Plaid Poodle.)

The Wedding Wishes Card
I really wanted to use Stampin’ Up!’s Detailed Heart Die, purchased with the intent of creating Valentine cards. But that didn’t happen! I couldn’t let the season pass without using this beautiful die.
The card features:
Detailed Hearts Die with Gold Foil
Gold heat embossed sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set
Die cuts from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies
A comprehensive shopping list is included at the end of the post, after the list of hoppers.
Wedding Wishes Gift Card Holder
This is such an easy gift card holder to create. (I had forgotten all about this style.) Here’s how it goes together.
Start with one of Stampin’ Up!’s envelopes. I used Very Vanilla for this project.
Fold the envelop in half and score.
With the flap facing you, use a Paper Snips to trim the top right corner.
Moisten the remaining flap and seal closed. The right side now becomes the holder for the gift card.
Decorate the front and inside cover.
Here are some of the materials I used to create the gift card holder:
Very Vanilla envelope
Very Vanilla panel embossed with the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder
Gold Foil Heart die cut with a heart from the Stitched Be Mine Framelits
Heat-embossed (gold) sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings
Classic Label Punch
Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder
Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon
