Our last port on the Scrap & Paper Cruise 2019 was a private Royal Caribbean Island called Coco Cay. It’s basically one HUGE waterpark. It’s perfect for families, for water lovers, anyone who wants to relax on the beach, and of course for thrill seeking water park ride lovers!!!
Here at home, the leaves have just started to turn yellow.. so I’m just getting into the fall mood… even though Christmas will be here before you know it!! I think today’s projects are the last of the fall projects I have to share with you .. I might make one more thing this weekend for a Thanksgiving hostess gift.. but this is probably the end of the fall cards.
These 3 card designs were from our Scrap & Paper Cruise. Jenn designed them all with the Come to Gather Suite from the 2019 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. I love how we used the negative outline space above and the die cut leaf on one of the projects yesterday (here).
I had not used the Tags & Feathers wood elements much, and I love the idea of stamping on a vellum circle and placing it over the wood elements!
Above: we stamped directly onto the wood elements on these cards. I was pleased to see that the ink did not bleed! The banners are flagged with the Banner Triple Punch.
I love this view.. it was my favorite spot on the ship. The morning I took this photo, we were cruising right past Havana, Cuba. You can see it on the horizon just above my coffee.
Before you think.. wow.. she got up so early on vacation… sunrise was not until 7:15 am.. so that was “doable” 🙂 I love the ocean.. I could just look at it for days. Maybe someday I’ll retire on a cruise ship. THAT would be awesome!
I’m not great at selfies.. but here is my attempt at taking our photo one night before dinner. This is in “central park” on the ship. Yes, complete with plants and outdoor dining!
Jason snapped this photo of us on formal night. I am blessed to travel on these trips with my 2 handsome men!!!

I hope you have been enjoying the fun samples I’ve been sharing from the 2019 Scrap & Paper Cruise we were on earlier this month! The Symphony of the Seas, Royal Caribbean Ship is the largest cruise ship on the ocean and we had an amazing time!! Below is our ship in port in Roatan, Honduras.
On our Scrap and Paper cruise, we made over 55 projects. One of the suites we used was the Come to Gather suite, and we made 6 different cards. I’m sharing 3 today and 3 tomorrow. 🙂
We used the Assorted Memories & More cards & Envelopes pack #149710 for our card bases. There are large and small Whisper White card bases and envelopes in the pack. We used the Come to Gather Designer paper and the Gather Together bundle.
Above & Below: we stamped the pumpkins in Early Espresso ink and colored them with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends markers.
The large Whisper White base card below was stamped with the large Gather Together leaf in Early Espresso for a really pretty border/background.
While we were on the Symphony of the Seas ship, it was Halloween! We wanted to dress up (ok, I said we should dress up), but I didn’t want to need an entire suitcase for 3 elaborate costumes, so, we found these super fun Taco Bell Hot Sauce packet t-shirts on Amazon and I got them for the 3 of us. Pretty fun, right!? Eric found this crazy-fun taco hat on Amazon… mine is a little miniature taco hat (that really didn’t look much like a taco, but that’s what you get for $4.99), and Jason has a taco baseball cap.
Most of the Scrap & Paper Cruise gang dressed up for Halloween.. really fun and imaginative costumes for sure!!!!
The ship had some fun parties, parades and decorations. Check out these AMAZING carved pumpkins leading into the dining room!!!!
Hope you enjoyed a little bit of our trip and some of our fun projects!
Join us in 2020!

The post Come to Gather Fall Card Ideas from the Cruise appeared first on Patty Stamps.
Are you traveling for Thanksgiving this year? I thought this would be a fun idea to share with you – an easy DIY Thanksgiving Hostess Gift to take with you! I found these cute little containers at TJ Maxx and decorated them with Stampin’ UP! Come to Gather designer paper and lots of die cut leaves using the Gathered Leaves dies.
The adorable THANKFUL napkins were also at TJ Maxx, so I added those to the cute decorated containers and added shreddie and some fall candy!
Above: I tied Come to Gather Crumb Cake ribbon around this container. I used the Tear & Tape to attach the ribbon to the container so that it wouldn’t slip off.
Mini Baskets and Thankful napkins from TJ Maxx for my DIY Thanksgiving Hostess baskets.
To Decorate the Thanksgiving Hostess Gifts:
I measured the height of the basket, cut a strip of Come to Gather designer paper to that height, then just bent the edges of the strip around the slanted sides and then cut the paper along that folded line. I attached the DSP to the mini baskets with Tear & Tape for extra holding insurance 🙂 Add ribbon then add die cut leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals and decorate with rhinestones.
I also used my Tear & Tape to attach the Pretty Peacock Linen Ribbon around the basket. That way it won’t slide off.
All of the leaves are die cut with the Gathered Leaves dies #150662. I used the Copper Foil Paper, the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets and the Come to Gather designer paper for the leaves. Holiday Rhinestones were added as the final little touch of bling! #150457.
