The Gather Together One Sheet Wonder is one of my favorite ways to stretch designer paper. With just one sheet and the coordinating bundle, I created six handmade cards full of fall color and texture. With the Gather Together Suite and a few Stylish Shapes die cuts, I created six unique fall cards full of texture, layers, and cozy autumn vibes.
The best part? You don’t need a stack of supplies — just one sheet of paper, the coordinating bundle, and a little creativity. At the end of this post, you’ll find the cutting map I loosely followed to create my set so you can try it too!
✨ Card 1 – Gather Together One Sheet Wonder Card 1 – Blended Background + Splatter
A blender brush stepped up the designer paper background while Stylish Shapes circles added dimension between the leaves. A few stamped and die-cut images plus Early Espresso splatter finished the look.
✨ Gather Together One Sheet Wonder Card 2 – Outlined Leaves & Gold Splatter
I outlined the leaves on the designer paper with a Crumb Cake blender pen and added doodle dots for fun. The banner stretches across the card thanks to a Stylish Shapes square, and the white craft ink splatter heat-embossed with gold gives it that glowing finish.
✨ Card 3 – Texture + Distress
This card is all about layers. Embossed background shapes pair with fussy-cut/die-cut images. I distressed the designer paper edges for texture and added Early Espresso splatters. The linen thread was deconstructed for even more rustic charm.
✨ Card 4 – Tone-on-Tone Background & Maple Leaf
Sometimes simple = stunning. I stamped tone-on-tone to create a soft background and then let the oversized maple leaf from the bundle take center stage. A little Wink of Stella shimmer was the perfect finishing touch.
✨ Card 5 – Over-the-Top Bow & Gold Accents
Layers of ribbon, frayed ends, and tucked-in die-cut leaves created a big, bold bow. The sentiment was stamped on designer paper, layered with gold embossing and Stylish Shapes banner flags for a luxe fall look.
✨ Card 6 – Double Embossed Backgrounds
For the final card, I paired the Exposed Brick embossing folder (with a hint of Wink of Stella shimmer) and the Forever Plaid folder for embossed-on-embossed texture. A blender pen added shading, and sanding brought out a little extra color.

🛒 About the Gather Together Suite
The Gather Together Suite is one of my favorite fall crafting collections. With bold leaves, textured embossing, and coordinating dies, it’s the perfect choice for creating cozy seasonal projects. For this one sheet wonder, I paired the designer paper, stamp set, and dies with Stylish Shapes to stretch a single sheet into six unique cards.
