There’s just something about fall that makes sending a handmade thank you card feel extra special. 🍂 For this project, I’m using the brand-new Stampin’ Up!® Gathering Moments Bundle from the September Online Exclusives. You’ll see how I started with a clean and simple card and then stepped it up with layers, Designer Series Paper, and embellishments. Whether you’re making thank you cards for everyday kindnesses or planning ahead for Thanksgiving, this design is perfect for sharing your gratitude in the most heartfelt way.
