I’m celebrating today with this Gather Together Fall Card on the First Day of Fall even though in Houston, Texas we are a LONG way from it feeling like fall! If only!! Maybe someday before Christmas the weather will cool off so that we can walk outside and feel comfortable! But being able to make cards and projects with stamps, ink, and paper to express the feeling of fall does help a little bit!

This card starts with a base of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock with a layer of designer paper in the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper Package. This print has tiny little pumpkins with wheat and grass in the background with a Cajun Craze colored background.

I began with the greeting in the Gather Together Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting with Cajun Craze Ink and then die cut it with one of the dies in the Ornate Frames Dies. I layered it on a die cut circle of Cajun Craze to help it stand out a bit more. For the background I die cut a piece from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies in Pear Pizzazz and stamped some wheat randomly for some interest in the background. I adhered two pieces of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon to each end of this piece. The pumpkins are stamped and colored with Stampin’ Blends and then cut out with Paper Snips (you can also purchase the Gathered Leaves Dies). I also stamped the wheat in Crumb Cake In and cut it out by hand as well. This whole focal point of the card is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

That’s all there is to this card. It made me feel cooler just making it! LOL! This would be a great card to send for a Thanksgiving greeting or even just a card to mail during the autumn season!
