Today’s card features Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and the Mosaic3D Embossing Folder.
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!

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).
If you are interested in purchasing the Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves Dies, don’t purchase them separately but use the bundle item number 153036 and you’ll save 10%!
All of the supplies I used can be found below in the Supply List. If you’d like to recreate today’s card, I’ve included the measurements for you, farther down in the post.

If you enjoy making quick and easy cards, today’s card fits into that category! I used the beautiful Very Versailles stamp set along with the Layered Leaves embossing folder. I love the font used for the sentiment! It’s so pretty!
Please note: I just found out this morning that the Layered Leaves embossing folder is unavailable and can’t be found in my online store BUT it IS in the catalog and will be available soon. Stampin’ Up! up has switched to a new supplier for the embossing folders and this has caused some delays in getting new stock. I apologize for this inconvenience.
I used Old Olive for the base of the card and then added another layer of Old Olive so that I could emboss it. I used the Layered Leaves embossing folder and kept with the theme of leaves. I again used Old Olive to stamp the leaves and for the sentiment, I used Blackberry Bliss. This top layer has been popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today’s card showcases another design from our brand new Come to Gather Designer Series Paper(DSP) in the Holiday Catalog. Oh my gosh, this paper is really pretty in person! If you didn’t see my card on Tuesday, it was also made using Come to Gather DSP and you can see it here.
This is a quick and easy card to make! I paired this paper with Merry Merlot and Cajun Craze cardstock. Stampin’ Up! makes it easy to figure out which colors coordinate because they are listed on the back of the paper and in the catalog. Sometimes I’ll use a color not indicated on the package but I always look at the colors they recommend.
I used the stamp set Very Versailles for the sentiment which was inked up with Merry Merlot.

Don’t you love when free shipping is offered? That’s what you’ll get when you purchase the Starter Kit which will include all the Stampin’ Up! products you love because YOU select exactly what you want. From time to time, Stampin’ Up! offers a special when you purchase the Starter Kit and today is the very last day to receive an extra $30 in product! Plus you’ll also receive a $10 coupon to use next month AND shipping will be FREE!
The Starter Kit is always $99 but with this special, you’ll receive $155 in free product plus you’ll enjoy all the perks of being a demonstrator. I purchased my Starter Kit, ten years ago, because I just wanted a discount on all the products in the catalog because my shopping list was a mile long!
Here are some questions I’m frequently asked:
Once I purchase the Starter Kit do I have to start selling Stampin’ Up! product? Only if you want to! If you want to purchase discounted products just for yourself, that is perfectly ok!
How much of a discount will I receive after I purchase the Starter Kit? You’ll receive at least a 20% discount on everything you purchase.
Do I have to buy/sell a certain amount of product? The quarterly minimum is $300. When you purchase the Starter Kit, your quarterly minimum begins during your first full quarter. If you purchase it today, the first full quarter begins in October so you would have until the end of December to reach it.
What happens if I don’t reach my minimum? You’ll simply be dropped. It truly is risk free to purchase the Starter Kit. It sounds too good to be true but it isn’t! Free product, free shipping, discounted product!
If I have questions (and I may have a lot), will you be able to help me? Absolutely! You can contact me with any and all questions! I’m here for you! As with anything new, there’s always a learning curve. I’m more than happy to help!
If I don’t make my minimum and I’m dropped, can I go back to being your customer? Yes!
As a customer, if my order reaches $150, I receive Stampin’ Rewards. Will I still be able to get rewards? Yes!! You’ll receive free product just as you do as a customer. Plus, if Stampin’ Up! has any kind of promotion, you’ll also receive it. For instance, during Sale-a-bration, free product can be earned. Demonstrators can also earn those same products!
If you don’t want to miss out on $30.00 in extra product and a $10 coupon to use next month, be sure to purchase the Starter Kit before 11:59 pm Mountain Time, today!
