Coffee and a Card with Gathering Moments Stamp Set

This Coffee and a Card with Gathering Moments Stamp Set is all about slowing down, crafting something beautiful, and sharing gratitude during the season of giving. Fall is one of my favorite times to stamp because the colors are so warm and comforting—it feels like bringing a little piece of autumn indoors. And when you add in gorgeous patterned paper and a stamp set designed for heartfelt sentiments, you’ve got a handmade card that feels like a warm hug tucked inside an envelope.

This is the exact card we made during this week’s Coffee & a Card—our casual midweek craft break on Facebook where we chat, sip on our favorite beverage, and make something wonderful. And this card? It checks all the boxes: it uses the Gathering Moments Stamp Set for a meaningful sentiment, pairs perfectly with the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper for rich fall layers, and ties it all together with earthy autumn tones that make your message of thanks really shine.

What I love about this project is how easy it is to pull together while still looking like a “wow” card. The plaid paper does the heavy lifting with its warm Cajun Craze and Early Espresso tones, while the delicate leaf designs bring in movement and texture. Add a simple sentiment stamped in Early Espresso ink onto a punched sentiment label, and suddenly you’ve got a card that looks polished and professional without taking hours of your time.

The best part? This project is totally beginner-friendly. Even if you’re new to stamping, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks finished and fabulous. All you need are a few coordinating supplies, some adhesive, and your favorite fall ink colors. The magic comes from how everything works together—no guesswork, no stress, just stamping made simple.

If you’ve ever wanted to surprise someone with a thoughtful handmade card, this is the one to try. Imagine slipping this autumn-inspired thank-you card into the mail and knowing it’ll brighten someone’s day the moment they open it. That’s what makes crafting so special—it’s not just about paper and ink, it’s about creating little connections that matter.
