      Cute Rock and Roll Acorns with Gathering Moments

      It’s October, and it’s time for a blog hop with the All Star Design team. This month we are featuring the Gathering Together Suite, one that was recently released, just in time for the northern hemisphere’s Autumn season. My project to share with you today was inspired by a cheery card by Sandy McIver. She’s…

      Today’s share is a remake of a Christmas card I made a few years back, this time with those gorgeous, detailed leaves from the Gathering Moments stamp set and a simple masking technique. You can do this with simple supplies you likely already have. While I do love Autumn colors, I wanted to use these…

    Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: When you want just a touch of ribbon texture but don’t have space for a full bow or strip, try pulling out a single thread! It adds the perfect hint of sparkle and dimension without overwhelming your design. In this card, I tucked a crumple of gold thread under the sentiment—a small detail that adds emphasis and a pop of metallic contrast. Plus, it’s a great way to use up even the tiniest leftover pieces of ribbon!

Pro Tip: Create a gorgeous Autumn leaf, just with your inks!  Simply blend Darling Duckling, Cherry Cobbler, and Blackberry Bliss inks onto white cardstock. Then lightly blend Pecan Pie over the entire piece. Give it a few water splatters, let it dry, and die cut your leaf.  Use an Early Espresso marker to draw in the stitching.

The magic happens in that last step — it’s so satisfying to see how it all comes together!

    Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: When your ribbon is the perfect color but just a little too wide or stiff, here’s a simple trick: cut it in half lengthwise! Some ribbons stay neat, while others fray a bit—but that soft, textured edge can actually add even more charm to your project.

In my sample, I’ve trimmed the Cloud Cover Faux Linen Ribbon for a lighter, softer effect. Give it a try next time your ribbon feels a little “too much”—you might love the result!

Pro Tip:  Here’s a fun trick—give your embossed cardstock a little sanding! It makes the texture stand out and brings through that white core for a lighter, brighter look. You can keep it subtle with just a touch or go all-in for more drama.

Pro Tip: When you don’t have the right ribbon…
Maybe you’ve run out, can’t find the perfect match, or it simply doesn’t exist. The good news? You can make your own!

All you need is a white or sheer ribbon and your Stampin’ Blends (alcohol markers). Just gently color the ribbon with your marker until you reach the shade you want.

Bonus tip: Let the ribbon dry completely—sometimes the color shifts quite a bit as it dries, depending on the ribbon and ink color combination.
