Gathering Moments Sneak Peek – Many Thanks!
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of a brand-new bundle from Stampin’ Up!—the Gathering Moments Bundle. I featured this card during my Facebook Live, and it’s such a perfect way to kick off the fall season.
This card combines rich autumn colors with a clean design, and the little details make it special—like the embossed background, pull-out panel, and a sweet pop of Designer Series Paper.

Why I Love This Card
This design is a wonderful mix of clean lines and cozy autumn vibes. The Gathering Moments Bundle makes it easy to create projects that celebrate the season and share gratitude in a special way.
If you’d like to see exactly how I put this card together, be sure to watch the replay of my Facebook Live!
The Pull-Out Feature
One of the things I love about this design is the pull-out panel tucked into the pocket. It’s perfect for writing a heartfelt note or adding extra stamped images—like the oak leaf, acorn, and mushroom shown here. The stamped elements tie back beautifully to the patterned paper and sentiment on the card front.
Finishing Touches
-
The sentiment “Many Thanks” is stamped in Early Espresso for a warm, rich look.
-
A bit of twine behind the die-cut sentiment adds just the right touch of texture.
-
A few glittery embellishments bring in sparkle without overwhelming the design.

Blessed to Have You in My Life – Featuring the Amber Autumn Bundle
During my most recent Facebook Live, I shared this cozy, fall-inspired card featuring the brand-new Amber Autumn Bundle from Stampin’ Up! Isn’t this the perfect bundle to celebrate the beauty of the season and the blessings of friendship?
For my card, I paired the Amber Autumn stamps and dies with the gorgeous Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. The soft, earthy tones are just right for fall and pair beautifully with Early Espresso cardstock and ink. I love how the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder adds a bit of texture and warmth behind the focal image.
