Happy Monday, crafty friends! I'm kicking off the week with two adorable fall projects that are sure to brighten your day and spark your creativity. Today's projects feature the beautiful Gathering Together Designer Paper by Stampin' Up! It is a perfect choice for cozy fall creating.

Project 1 is a playful fun fold card the showcases the sweetest little squirrel among Fall patterns. The Gathering Together DSP does all the heavy lifting with its rich colors and textures, and that cute squirrel adds the perfect touch of charm.

Project 2 Card with a bag inside for a sweet treat. I created a card that has a little bag inside-perfect for tucking in a small surprise. It's such a fun twist on traditional cardmaking, and again, the Gathering Together DSP ties everything together beautifully.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope these ideas inspire you to grab your papers, stamps, and trimmers and start the week with something handmade.

6" x 6" Stack-n-Shuffle Monday Motivation 11-17-25

Monday Motivation with 6"x 6" Stack & Shufle! Today's creative session was all about using the stack-n-shuffle technique with 6" x 6" DSP. (Designer Series Paper).and WOW did it make cardmaking fun, fast and beautifully coordinated!

I love how this technique lets you mix and match patterns effortlessly. Every card turns out unique, but they all have that perfectly unified look.

If you want a quick way to stretch your DSP and spark your creativity, this technique is a game changer.
