Gathering Together and Thankful for You

Posted on October 14, 2025 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s inspiration comes from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration challenge. The inspiration challenge images are totally fall. So many great images to inspire a fall or Halloween card. I was inspired to create a fall card with the Gathering Together Suite Collection. I love this suite! I love the images and the large leaf dies. Here’s the card I created.

The card base is Basic Beige and the embossed Gathering Leaves layer is also Basic Beige. The Gathering Together is die cut with the Perennial Postage dies, the large leaf from retired Bronze foil. You can substitute the current ‘Earthen Toned’ foil sheets. The sentiment was also die cut from the Perennial Postage dies and stamped with the Gathering Moments sentiment. I also stamped the plaid and dots background with Crushed Curry and Peach Pie. I embossed with Old Olive and Early Espresso Linen Thread. I also used the Cajun Craze and Gold Dots to add sparkle.

Fall is coming! However here where I live it’s still in the 90’s but I can still hope for cool mornings. To further get in the fall mood I recently purchased the Gathering Together Suite Collection. I love the large leaf dies and the stamp set. The color challenge of Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Pretty Peacock at Hand Stamped Sentiments was perfect for creating a fall card.

The card base is Pretty Peacock, the next layer is also Pretty Peacock and embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. The large leaf is die cut from Timid Tiger. I connected the holes with a Timid Tiger Stampin’ Write Marker then sponged the edge with Timid Tiger. The smaller leaves are stamped in Darling Duckling and Pretty Peacock on Basic Beige and die cut. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock Classic Ink on Basic Beige and die cut with a die from the Inspiring Imperfections Dies. To add a touch of sparkle I finished with linen thread and Basic Rhinestones.
