Hello Reader,

Fall crafting is in full swing! These two clean and simple cards feature the Gathering Together Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! (and one of My Favorite Things) —a must-have for capturing the warmth and beauty of the season. Both designs are based on the exclusive sketch I shared yesterday and are perfect for sharing gratitude or celebrating togetherness. As a newsletter exclusive, I’m including a FREE step-by-step tutorial to help you recreate these autumn-inspired designs with ease.

If you missed yesterday’s sketch, be sure to take another look. It’s the perfect starting point for creating with your favorite Stampin’ Up! suites.
