Gathering Fall Thanks - Stampin' Up!® Gathering Moments

   It's always hard to know where to start when I get a preorder because I have so much new stuff all at once.  Yesterday I did a Christmas card but today I talked myself into making a card for the next season that's up: Fall! One of the suites I got from the preorder is the Gathering Together suite which is chock full of Autumn goodness!  I used just about every item in the suite on this card! This whole suite will be an Online Exclusive so look for it in the online store starting Sept. 3.

  I started with a Basic Beige card base, with another layer of Basic Beige embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder.  I added a strip of Gathering Together DSP in a Cajun Craze pattern that is the same as the embossing folder pattern.

  Using a bit of Two-Toned cardstock in Early Espresso I cut a large maple leave with the Gathering Moments dies.  After quite the search for my sanding block I finally found it and was able to sand the edges of the leaf for a bit of distressing.

  On top of the leaf I added a sentiment banner and a mushroom and acorn accents which are all popped on dimensionals.  The coordinating Gathering Moments stamp set has a great mix of sentiments and smaller scale image stamps (compared to the big maple leaf).

  For the embellishments I added an Early Espresso linen thread bow and several Cajun Craze and Gold dots both of which are included in the suite.  The only item I didn't use was the Old Olive linen thread which I'm sure will get on a card soon!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
