All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop October 2025-Gathering Together Suite (Video)

Welcome to the All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop! 

Today we have a wonderful hop showcasing additional projects we created using the Gathering Together Suite Collection featured in our October 2025 tutorial.  I hope you enjoy my creation.

A Little Fall Inspiration from Our Team Gathering

One of my favorite things about being part of the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator community is how we share ideas and inspire each other.

This Pop-Out Window Card design was originally taught by my talented team member Sheila Tatum at our recent Diemonds Team Gathering. I loved it so much, I had to share my own fall version featuring the Gathering Moments Suite.

This design isn’t your typical folded card base — instead, it’s a flat card layer with a clear acetate panel that wraps around the front. When you slide it from the envelope, the acetate naturally curves and pops up, giving the illusion of a 3D window box.

The card base and acetate each hold design elements, so when standing, you see layers of dimension and depth — but it still folds flat for easy mailing.

Why You’ll Love This Card

• Gorgeous depth + dimension without bulky layers
• Unique design that folds flat for mailing
• Perfect for showing off fall images and textures
• Easy to adapt for any occasion — even holiday cards!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you:

• How to make your card pop up when displayed but slide flat into an envelope
• How to create the flat base + acetate wrap
• Tricks for adding elements to both layers for maximum dimension
• The best adhesives for acetate and cardstock

Inspiration Shared, Creativity Multiplied

This card design is a perfect example of why I love our team community — the collaboration, encouragement, and creativity that happens when demonstrators come together!

If you’ve ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up! (or just want to enjoy a crafting community that shares as much as it creates!), October is the perfect time.

Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit Special makes it easier than ever to join my Diemonds Team — and you’ll instantly connect with a group of supportive, creative friends.

I’m sure you agree…papercrafting can bring so much joy. Whether you use it for stress relief, to share your creativity, or have meaningful cards and gifts always at your fingertips, papercrafting has value that goes far beyond the projects.

There’s so much we can give our attention to and spend our time doing today, but what if you had something at your fingertips that allows you to create memories and express yourself instead of watching Netflix? That’s where our paper crafting kits come in!
