Landscape autumn card – Gathering Moments

Landscape autumn card – Gathering Moments. Gathering Moments stamps and dies have just been released as an online exclusive in September 2025. The leaf dies are HUGE! There are two patterns, and each virtually covers the whole of a card front.

Each die comes in two parts – one cuts out the whole leaf, and the other cuts out the middle with perforations in it so that you can stitch the lines of the leaf with linen thread.

Today’s card features the large open work die which was embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder.
