Come to Gather Thank You
Hello Stampers! I initially purchased three packages of Stampin' Up!'s 12 x 12 Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. It's filled with an array of fall themes and images, but I never thought I'd use it all. Well, I did. And, I'm waiting for two additional packages to arrive next week. Today, I wanted to create some thank you cards to send to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and was forced to create something with just the scraps I had. This is the result. I CASEd the layout and design from a card I received from Kathryn Collison for World Card Sending Week. In addition to the Come to Gather DSP, I used the sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia...

We stamped the stump image from Rooted in Nature with Soft Suede ink onto Very Vanilla card stock. We then...
November Stampin’ Up! News
Hello Stampers! Cozy flannel shirts, soft checkered scarves, and packages wrapped in festive plaid are all favorites of the fall and winter seasons. To me, plaid and the holidays go hand in hand, so I was thrilled when I saw the Wrapped In Plaid Suite. The Perfectly Plaid stamp set and coordinating Pine Tree Punch are already a holiday hit. Beyond the holidays, the plaid papers and natural tree images will still be on my go-to list for nature-themed and masculine cards. The blue plaid patterns will make great Father's Day cards, too so be sure to get an extra package of the Wrapped In Plaid 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper when...
