Good Morning! Today’s card is another fall card using the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Gather Together photopolymer stamp set. This is an autumn friendship card with pumpkins and vellum leaves and the sweet sentiment So glad to have you in my life from the Gather Together stamp set. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
My card is entered into the challenge in Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #323. Check out the other entries.
I started by taking a panel of the wood background from the Come To Gather designer series paper and stamping it with the leaf branch from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set in Mint Macaron ink. I adhered it to an Early Espresso mat and adhered it to a Mint Macaron card base with liquid glue. I took another piece of the DSP, this time with the pumpkins, and die cut it using one of the Stitched Nested Labels dies. I die cut a piece of Whisper White and adhered it to the back to stiffen it and attached it to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gather Together stamp set in Mint Macaron on a strip of Whisper White and attached it to an Early Espresso Mat. I then trimmed the ends of both the banner and the mat.
I stamped the pumpkins from the Stampin’ Up! Gather Together stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on a panel of Thick Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the coordinating dies from the Gathered Leaves die set. I also cut a set of leaves from the Frosted Frames dies from the Old Olive in the Perennial Essence vellum cardstock. I attached the pumpkins, leaves and banner to the card front with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished it off with a braided linen trim bow and three faux pearls.
I decorated the inside of the card by attaching a strip of the wood panel DSP from the Come to Gather paper pack on a panel of Whisper White and adhering it to an Early Espresso mat before attaching it to the inside of the card. I finished a matching envelope by stamping it with the Very Versailles leaf branch in Mint Macaron ink.
Do you decorate for fall? I like to plant a couple of colorful mums by my front door and get a pumpkin. Thanks for visiting!

What a beautiful card Akiko! The colors are perfect and I love the designer paper that you used! 🙂
Thank you Amy! That suite is so pretty!
Wow, I’m really living this mix of greens! The pumpkins look awesome in green and white….kind of a “fresh fall” look! Thanks for playing along with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Thank you!
Beautiful colors! I love how you combined the different greens to create an elegant fall card. I never would have thought to use the leaves from the Frosted Frames set to embellish. Great take on our sketch. Thanks so much for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
Thank you!
Clever color for the pumpkins. The ribbon is perfect for the paper. Love the vellum leaf spray. Thanks for playing with us at HSS.
Thank You!
