Happy Wednesday. If you live in the Midwest, I do hope you are staying warm. It is really supposed to get cold this weekend. I may have to move my crafting space into my living room in front of the fire! LOL. Or maybe I will just sit in my lazy boy and enjoy a glass of Chardonnay. But for now, I am excited to share with you a fun fold accordion card that I created using a 5 1/4 x 12 piece of designer series paper.
This card will look great with whatever patterned paper you have on hand, but if you want to purchase the True Blue Florals paper pack, it is the product of the month from December, so supplies are limited. Just place a $75 order through my online store and you can choose the True Blue Floral paper pack or the January 2026 product of the month, Fabulous Sayings. Both are featured in our card today.

We are finishing out this week with two more cards using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks. If you wanted Day #3 then you already know how easy these masks are to use. If you missed that episode, no worries, click here. And now for day #4……
In addition to the Snowy Delights Decorative masks, this weeks cards also feature the Branching Out dies. I am not sure why I want to call them the in and out dies, but that is just stuck in my head, so I apologize if I call them the wrong thing in my videos. I also used greetings from Gathering Moments and Ornamental Christmas. All of these products are available for purchase through my online store, just click the shop with me button below. I so appreciate your support. Don’t forget to click the button below for your free project sheet with photos, supplies, measurements, and instructions on how to create these cards.

Hello my friends. I am so excited to share with you a way to create your own Designer Series Paper using the new Gathering Moments stamp set. First of all the paper that coordinates with this bundle is absolutely gorgeous, but I thought making our own can be fun too. When you create your own designer series paper, don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of colors. Try creating a sheet with all one color. That would be fun too. Monochromatic is such a calming look.
Today’s project: DIY Designer Series Paper
I started with a Basis White 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and randomly stamped the images from the Gathering Moments bundle as shown. The large leaf I stamped in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The smaller leaf is stamped with Garden Green. The berries are stamped with Cherry Cobbler and the acorn with Pecan Pie. I used Early Espresso to stamp the smaller veined leaf. Feel free to adds some splatter with Pecan Pie or Early Espresso ink. The You’re Remarkable and the Elements of Text are just a few of the sets that have some great splatter.
Today’s card features our Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The card base is a standard A2 size and measures 8-1/2 x 5 -1/2, scored at 4-1/4. I cut a piece of the newly created designer series paper to measures 3-3/4 x 5 and backed it with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is from Grateful Blessings. See video for tip on how to shorten the greeting. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink and cropped it with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. I used that same punch to crop a Cherry Cobber hexagon and cut in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom border. Before adding the greeting to the card front, I put a strip of Cherry Cobbler 3/8 x 3-7/8 across the bottom of the card. Feel free to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting to your card front.
I hope you enjoyed today’s fall project. Join me on Monday for a new holiday series 12 Days of Christmas! Happy Stamping!
