Come to Gather Thank You

Very Versailles Stamp Set

Happy Friday!

Today’s card features Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and the Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder.  

Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder

Come to Gather Designer Series Paper

 

The base of the card is Merry Merlot cardstock and I added another layer of Merry Merlot, embossed with our Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder.  

To achieve the very best results when using our new style of 3D Embossing Folders, I used our 3D Embossing Folder Plate . This plate replaces the standard cutting plates when using the 3D folders but you’ll use the regular cutting plates for all other embossing folders. This is the sandwich you’ll use when using a 3D folder and the 3D Embossing Folder Plate: 

  • Embossing Machine Platform
  • Embossing Folder with cardstock inside
  • 3D Embossing Folder Plate

You won’t find this plate in a current catalog but you can find it in my online store here or by clicking the image of the plate below. If you have any questions, please reach out to me!

Let’s get back to my card! The piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper is layered with Cajun Craze cardstock, two colors I wouldn’t have paired together had I not seen how beautiful these colors are in this paper! This layer has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set, Very Versailles, and it was cut out with a 1″ Circle Punch.  I tend to primarily use Whisper White cardstock but for today’s card, I used Very Vanilla when stamping the sentiment. It sits on a layer of Merry Merlot cardstock that was cut using the 1-1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and a Cajun Craze layer using the 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch.  If you’d like to make today’s card, I’ve included the measurements below the supply list!

Stampin’ Up! Gathered Leaves Dies

I’ve really been enjoying making cards with fall colors.  I just wish the weather would cooperate where I live and show up with some fall weather! It’s suppose to be 101 today and tomorrow.  Ugh. Thank goodness for air conditioners! 

Today’s card features Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and the Gathered Leaves Dies.  I learned something new while making this card! Our new 3D embossing folders will give a much deeper impression if the paper is first sprayed with a fine mist of water.  I already knew that and to be honest, I’d prefer not to do this step and I usually don’t because I’m happy with the results I get not spraying my paper BUT what a difference it makes when you spray the paper first when using our Gathered Leaves Dies.  Three of the leaves in the set will come out embossed when you run them through your die-cutting machine and if you spritz the paper first, you’ll love the results. Can you tell which one I spritzed with water before I cut it out?

It’s the one on the right! Big difference, don’t you think? 

I also used the stamp set Gather Together for the sentiment which was stamped in Merry Merlot ink and cut out with the Stitched Nested Label Dies. After cutting my Pear Pizzazz and Pretty Peacock cardstock, I ran it through my die-cutting machine using the Mosaic embossing folder (I did not spritz the paper with water).
