Gathering Moments, an Online Exclusive, is a lovely new Suite of products that will be released on September 3, 2025
Because I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I can order products about to be released before anyone else can. The new Stampin’ Up! 2025 holiday mini catalog goes live on September 3rd, and I have been playing with some of the products I could pre-order – Gathering Moments is one of the first I have played with.
The Gathering Together 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is part of the Suite, and it is gorgeous. The artist who created the paper used leaves plus other fall-like images to create the designs, and was generous with gold accents. The back side of the paper has subtle patterns which are great for layering or creating accents.
Here is the inside of my card – what a perfect sentiment for Thanksgiving!
Here are the products I used to make my card:
Card base is Cajun Craze – cut 4-1/4″ x 11″, score on long edge at 2-3/4″ x 8-1/4″. Fold sides to center.
Layers are Basic Beige and Gathering Together DSP, each cut at 2-1/4″ x 4″. The Basic Beige layer is dry embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder. I used a small stamp from the set to stamp some Old Olive ink to the DSP – I wanted to add some green to the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze images on the paper.
I cut some Old Olive cardstock with a Spotlight On Nature Die, and used it as a base for the leaf. The Gathering Moments dies contain two large leaf images, and I cut one of them from the Earth Toned Metallic 12″ x 12″ paper.
I tied a double bow using the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf with a Glue Dot. The finishing touch was the addition of the Cajun Craze & Gold Dots.
