Gathering Together Many Thanks Fall Card

No Comments

This fall thank you card is just so pretty, the colors are just perfect.  It is made with the Gathering Together suite from Stampin’ Up.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Crushed Curry card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Gathering Together designer series paper (September 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Gathering Moments stamp set and dies (September 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Traditional Label Dies (August 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Crushed Curry ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Old Olive card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Take the Crushed Curry Card Stock and cut a strip to ½” x 4 1/8”.  Then from the Gathering Together designer series paper pack find the Old Olive striped paper and also the leaf paper with the large Old Olive leaves.  Cut the striped paper to 2” x 4 1/8” and the leaf paper to 4” 4 1/8”.   Adhere the leaf paper to the top portion of your card and the Old Olive striped paper to the bottom.  Adhere the Crushed Curry strip across the point where they meet. 

From some scrap white card stock stamp two of the large leaves in Crushed Curry, three smaller leaves in Old Olive ink along with two of the branches, two mushrooms in Cajan Craze ink and three of the small berry branches in Early Expresso ink.  Cut them all out with the applicable dies.  Then stamp the “Many Thanks” greeting in Old Olive and cut out with one of the Traditional Label Dies. 

Adhere the “Many Thanks” label to the right side over the Crushed Curry strip on the front of your card.  Decorate the top right with one of the smaller Old Olive leaves and an Early Expresso berry branch.  On the left side of the green striped paper on the bottom front of your card use a large Crushed Curry leaf, a smaller Old Olive leaf, and Old Olive branch, two Early Expresso berry branches and a Cajan Craze mushroom for the middle.  Adhere them around as desired. 

Now let’s get the inside put together.  Adhere the white piece you cut to the inside for your card.  With the “Expressing heartfelt gratitude” greeting and Old Olive ink stamp the greeting in the upper center of your white inside piece.  Decorate the lower left corner with the remaining pieces you stamped and cut. 

This is such a beautiful card to thank anyone for something special.

Toadstool Garden Birthday

No Comments

This bright birthday card made with the Toadstool Gardens designer series paper from the 2025 Sale-a-bration paper and is so cute.  This is a quick card to make as well.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Melon Mambo card stock
  • White card stock
  • Natural Beige card stock
  • Toadstool Gardens designer series paper
  • Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies
  • Sizzix Forest Friends (not sure on the name) dies – Mushroom dies
  • Melon Mambo ink
  • Melon Mambo ribbon or something that matches the paper that you have
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Mini Pop-Dots

With your Melon Mambo card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From your Toadstool Gardens designer series paper find a piece of the pink toadstool paper and the striped paper.  Cut the toadstool paper to 3 ¾” x 4” and the strip paper to 2” x 4”. 

Grab a scrap piece of White card stock, your Cheerful Daisies stamp set and your Melon Mambo ink.  Find the “wishing you the brightest birthday” stamp and stamp it in the Melon Mambo ink.  Use the label die from the Cheerful Daisies dies to cut out your greeting.  Take a spare piece of Melon Mambo card stock and your mushroom dies and cut out a set of mushroom tops, and with a scrap piece of Natural Beige and cut out your toadstool stems and adhere together. 

Now lets put it all together.  Take your white piece of card stock cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and adhere your toadstool piece to the top and your striped piece to the bottom.  Take your ribbon and rap around and adhere to the back, covering the change from one design to the other.  Adhere that to the front of your Melon Mambo card base. 

Add mini pop-dots to the back of the label and adhere over the ribbon to the right side.  Take the other piece of White card stock you cut and adhere that to the inside of your card.  Adhere the mushrooms in the lower right corner. 

And that is all there is to making this cute toadstool birthday card.
