My husband and I just celebrated our 11th anniversary this past week, so I knew that I wanted to use the card I created for him to showcase in the Pals Blog Hop. I used one of my favorite DSP packs, the Come to Gather DSP. I love fall and this paper pack has so many vibrant colors, I just love the different options you have.
Here’s a quick recap on how I made this card:
1. Start with an Early Espresso Cardstock base cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
2. Next cut out a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the pumpkin piece in the Come to Gather DSP pack.
3. Use the biggest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies and cut out the spot to put your picture in. Adhere the picture to the back of the pumpkin paper and then layer this onto your Early Espresso Cardstock base.
4. Cut out 2 leaves from the Gathered Leaves Dies in Pear Pizzazz Cardstock. Cut out your frame from the Ornate Frames Dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Gather Together Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink.
5. Use your Snail Adhesive to adhere your Crumb Cake 5/8″ Ribbon from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack. Next use Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer your framed sentiment over the ribbon. Use Mini Glue Dots and apply them to the base of the leaf and tuck them behind the sentiment frame so that they have a bit of dimension on the card. Lastly layer on a gold Metallic Pearl in each corner. I thought this added a nice masculine touch, it reminds me of the rivets that you see on jeans.
Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the full list of products used to make this card.
Bundle and SAVE!!! I used almost everything in the Come to Gather Suite for this card. I love how the suites have so many coordinating products. An added bonus when you purchase a suite of coordinating products is that you get the same 10% discount you get whenever you purchase a stamp set and its coordinating dies or punch. What a great savings!
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created!

I am certain your husband loved his card! What a lovely way to decorate your home at anniversary time! Well done, Jen!
Thank you Katy! My husband is my biggest fan and always loves the cards I make for him. It's gotten to the point that he seems disappointed if I don't make him a card for any big celebration. Haha.
Oh, I just love this sweet card! Love that you made your husband a card that has a photo of the two of you. That's a keepsake that you both will treasure in the years to come. So glad you joined the blog hop again!
Thank you so much Debbie!
