30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 18

Good morning,

This past weekend I held my Holiday card class and it was the perfect time to get those holiday cards made.  Today's card is one of the designs we made but I switched up the greeting for this challenge.  I have to say, this card was CASEd from my dear friend, Bree Renwick who shared this card and I just fell in love with it.  And the great thing about this card, it used one of the fall themed designer series paper!

This card starts with Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Gathering Together Speciality Designer Series Paper.  I used a different piece of the DSP and cut a rectangle out using the Textured Notes dies.

The main stamped images are from the Stay Warm stamp set and were stamped in Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry ink before fussy cutting them out and attaching with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set and was heat embossed with White embossing powder on Early Espresso cardstock (it was also fussy cut and attached with dimensionals).  The final touch was to add a few of the Streaked Dots in the corners,

Love the fallish colors for this winter themed card, perfection!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 17

Good morning,

What a wonderful weekend!  Love when our kiddo is able to visit and he even helped us start to get the Christmas decorations up (outside at least)!  I'm back today with a fun all occasion gratitude card.

I used Basic White cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Early Espresso cardstock that was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder for the cardfront.  To that I added three pieces of DSP from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper Pack.  This is all the same piece of paper, just used both sides.

The greeting is from the Notes & Totes stamp set, an online exclusive.  It was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink.  After cutting the circle with the Layering Circles dies I added the dots from the same stamp set using Garden Green ink and then attaching the circle to the card with dimensionals.

As you know I love all flowers but sunflowers in particular hold a special place in my heart so this card really made me do the happy dance!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 16

Good morning,

It's going to be a great day, I have a long run planned this morning and then we have stamp class this afternoon and we will be making holiday cards, which is so much fun!

Today I'm back with another fun card where the designer series paper is the star, this time it's the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

I started with Boho Blue cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that I embossed.  Next I used the Everyday Arches dies to cut out the DSP as well as a piece of Basic White as a mat.

The greeting is from the Everyday Arches stamp set (yes, you can buy both the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10%).  I did fussy cut the greeting and attached it with dimensionals before adding a few rhinestone for a little bling.

The great thing with all our amazing paper choices is it let's you use the same stamp sets and create completely different cards, very versatile.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 15

Good morning,

Sometimes we have lots of time to make very detailed and fancy cards and other times we need something quick and easy.  Today is one of those days.

I love that the Trusty Tools stamp set carried over into the current Annual Catalog but a lot of cards made with it are very detailed with lots of die cut pieces and coloring, today's card has none of that.

I used Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then Basic White for the cardfront which is matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I stamped the paint brushes and then used the coordinating stamp to add the color.  The brush strokes were a little tricky but I used the outline paint brush stamp and just inked the bottom and then flipped the stamp so the edge of the stamp was in the solid color and the brush strokes were below (hope that makes sense).

Love the clean lines and you could change up the colors for the occasion or person you're giving this to.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 14

Good morning,

When I saw the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set released as an Online Exclusive, I knew I had to have it.  Love the images but I will admit, they are much larger than I was picturing, but they make the perfect focal point for a card.

Today's card starts with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece Woven Textures Designer Series Paper as the cardfront.  I stamped the main image on Basic White cardstock and then colored it in with Stampin' Blends before cutting it out with the Everyday Arches Dies.

The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set and was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Crumb Cake cardstock before fussy cutting it out and attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch, was to add a few of the Low Profile Sparkle Dots for some bling.

This card was so fun to make!  I did stamp several images and packed them along with my Blends on a recent trip so I could color in the hotel when I had some down time and just finished the card when I got back, which was perfect.
