Come to Gather Gift Bag for Autumn IRBH

It’s time for the Inking Royalty Blog Hop for September! This month’s theme in Autumn. And what could be more Autumnal than beautifully colored leaves? For my project, I used products from the Come to Gather Suite to decorate a gift bag from last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit. (You can see another project I made using these bags here.) From the suite, I used the Gather Together bundle (Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves Dies) and Come to Gather Designer Series Paper.

I was going to use the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack as well, but I got so carried away with the leaves, I didn’t think it needed it. I used each embossed leaf die (3 in the set) to cut two each of four colors – and I used 18 of the 24 leaves I cut! Guess I just couldn’t stop until I had a big leaf pile! Doesn’t it make you want to jump in and scatter them?

Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops. You don’t want to miss any of the great projects from this talented group!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

Come To Gather Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 2″ x 5-1/4″
DSP cut to 1-1/2″ x 5″
Copper Foil Sheet cut to 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″

Stamped with the Gather Together stamp set:

large leaf in Pretty Peacock ink onto a scrap of Pretty Peacock CS
sentiment in Versamark ink on the leaf, then heat embossed in copper

Cut using the Gathered Leaves Dies:

stamped leaf
assortment of embossed leaves from scraps of Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, and Pretty Peacock CS and Copper Foil Sheet

Cut using the Banner Triple Punch:

one end of each of the 3 paper strips

Assembled the project:

adhered the 3 tags together using Snail
adhered the assorted leaves onto the tags and each other using Snail
large stamped leaf adhered onto the leaf “pile” using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
tag assembly glued onto the front of the bag
3 Pretty Peacock Faceted Dots applied onto the bag, at bottom right

WOW! I love the embossed leaves. And you nailed them in a group of gorgeous colors. This gift bag would be fine as the gift!

Such a cute bag. I love all those leaves, all 18. I think you should’ve used maybe 19. Smile
