I just love the subtle colors of this card, it is light but still fall looking. This card uses the Gathering Together suite from Stampin’ Up with these great Basic Beige papers to lighten everything.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Gather Together designer series paper (September 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Gather Moments stamp set and dies (September 2025 Online Exclusives Stampin’ Up)
- Crushed Curry ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Cinnamon Cider ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With a piece of Basic Beige card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From white card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 2 7/8” x 3 7/8”. From the Gathering Together designer series paper pack find the Basic Beige bark looking paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and then from the plaid paper and cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3 ¾”.
Adhere one of the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” pieces of white paper to the front of your Basic Beige card base and then adhere to Basic Beige wood grain looking piece to that. Then adhere the smaller white piece to the center of that and the Basic Beige plaid piece onto that.
Take some scrap white paper and your Crushed Curry ink and stamp three leaves, with a mix of dark and light (stamped-off). Then with your Cinnamon Cider ink stamp two acorns. Use the dies to cut each of these out. Adhere two leaves and an acorn to the lower left corner of the Basic Beige plaid paper on the front of your card.
From another piece of scrap white paper stamp the “Thankful for you” greeting in Crushed Curry ink and use the arrow label die from Traditional Tags dies to cut it out with the arrow facing to the left. Adhere to the upper portion of your plaid piece butted up to the right edge.
For the inside of the card adhere your remaining piece of white card stock. Adhere the leaf and acorn in the lower left corner. For the greeting stamp the “Your friendship means the world to me” greeting in the upper center.
Use this card to let a friend know you care and how much they mean to you.
