Stamping with the STARS #447: Gathering Together Sneak Peak Card

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts447.  Today it’s our pleasure share another Sketch Inspiration with you.

This week, I dove into the rich palette of fall to create a card that’s equal parts rustic charm and heartfelt sentiment.

I’ve been playing with new products coming September 3 and reached for the Gathering Together Suite (Sep 2025 Online Exclusive).  I’m super happy with the way it turned out.  Check it out…

I’m definitely an autumn girl.  As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, there’s just something magical about it that invites reflection and appreciation. It’s a season that nudges us to slow down, savor cozy moments, and express gratitude—and what better way to do that than with a handmade card that speaks from the heart?

✂️How’d She DO That? Gathering Together card

• Stamps/Bundles: Gathering Moments Bundle – includes dies
• Paper:
  • Cajun Craze (7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base score at 4-1/4″, 3″ x 5-1/4″ add texture with embossing folder)
  • Basic White (4″ x 5-1/4″ inside, 1-3/8″ x 2-1/2″ sentiment, 4″ square)
  • Early Espresso (1-1/2″ x 2-3/8″)
  • Gathering Together Designer Series Paper (1″ x 5-1/4″ plaid, 4″ square leaves)
• Ink: Early Espresso
• Other:  Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder, Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Pack, Cajun Craze & Gold Dots, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals

🍂DOstamping Design Details:

• This card is cut short (7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″) on purpose to reveal the Basic Beige and champagne foil Gathering Together Designer Series Paper (DSP) plaid strip.
• Get ready to die cut the large maple leaf shape by adhering the 4″ DSP and white pieces together first.  This will give the leaf some sturdiness as it falls on the edge of the card front –  for a touch of whimsy.

Whether you’re sending thanks for a shared meal, a kind gesture, or simply someone’s presence in your life, this card is a gentle reminder that gratitude doesn’t need grand gestures—it just needs sincerity.

Add the coming soon Gathering Together Suite to your wish list so you’re ready to shop on September 3.
