Blogging Friends Blog Hop: Septembers Theme was FALL

Hello and welcome to my blog and this month's Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This Month our theme was FALL.  The official first day of Fall is only a few weeks away and it was the perfect time to kick it off with all types of projects with the wonderful colors of and the feel of cool crisp harvest air.  I picked the Gather Together Stamp Set () from the 2019 Holiday Catalog (which is now live) for my project today.  Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I used the large leaf from the Stamp set and stamped it three times in the following colors on Whisper White Cardstock (); Cajun Craze Classic Ink (), Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink (), and Merry Merlot Classic Stampin' Pad ().  Then I used the matching die from the Gather Leaves Dies and cut them out.   My sentiment is on a piece of Whisper White cardstock stamped in Merry Merlot ink.  

I created my card base with a piece of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock () cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  Then I placed a piece of the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper () onto a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock () cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8.  The Come to Gather Designer Series Paper (4 x 5 1/4) I picked the plaid pattern with all the fun colors.  I adore this little pattern in this pack of designer series paper and think that it could be used for so many different types of projects.  Once I had everything ready to go it was time to start layering it all together.  

After I had the designer series paper mounted on the card base I added the sentiment onto the card base with a few Stampin' Dimensionals ().  Once I had it in place it was time to arrange the leaves that I had stamped and cut out before hand.  I started out with the Cajun Craze leaf and applied it with a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue () tucking it a little under the sentiment piece.  I then added the Merry Merlot leaf in the same manner.  I then attached the Pear Pizzazz leaf with a little liquid glue and a couple dimensionals.  

That finished off my card and it was ready to go with the addition of a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  Thanks for dropping by today, if you need any of the supplies you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store by clicking on the item in my Stampin' Up!
