​Want to watch how they come together?  Watch the full tutorial replay on YouTube! I walk you through step-by-step how to make each of these three cards. 

Card 1: Many Thanks

This first card is soft, elegant, and full of texture. I started with a Basic Beige card base embossed using the Gathering Leaves embossing folder for a subtle, tone-on-tone background. The focal point layers combine soft neutrals and warm fall tones from the Gathering Together DSP, accented with Crushed Curry and Basic Beige leaves..
​
I stamped the acorns in Pecan Pie ink and tucked them over the leaves, tying everything together with a simple bow of Early Espresso Linen Thread. The sentiment, “Many Thanks,” is stamped on Basic White and cut with the Traditional Labels Dies for a clean finish.

Card 2: Expressing Heartfelt Gratitude (Fun Fold Easel Card)

This card takes gratitude to a whole new level - literally! It’s a fun easel fold card, which means the front stands up beautifully for display. The Gathering Together DSP shines as the background with its rich autumn tones, layered behind bold stamped leaves in Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Early Espresso.

I used the same acorn motif and a bit of Old Olive twine to tie the design together. Inside, the sentiment panel stamped with “Many Thanks” acts as the stopper to hold the card open - a perfect finishing touch for a card that looks just as gorgeous standing up as it does flat.

Card 3: Thankful for You

Clean, cozy, and classic! This final card showcases a bold plaid pattern from the Gathering Together DSP paired with a sweet little mushroom from the Gathering Moments stamp set. I stamped it in Pecan Pie ink and added soft shading with a Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend to give it a realistic, rustic feel.
​
The sentiment panel layers onto a Cajun Craze rectangle cut with the Textured Notes Dies and pops beautifully against the patterned background. A touch of Early Espresso Linen Thread adds the perfect rustic charm.

Keep the Fall Creativity Going!
