30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 28

Good morning,

Happy Black Friday!  If you know me you know that Black Friday is one of my favorite days of the year, early morning shopping and savings, love it!  Of course, I couldn't forget today's gratitude card and this one is really special.

I think one of the overlooked stamp sets in this years Holiday catalog is the Joyful Tidings set, so lovely I had to get it in my first order but am just now getting it inky.

I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and added a piece of Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) matted with Basic Black cardstock for the cardfront.  I added another pattern of paper from the same pack as a belly band.

After stamping the wreath on Basic White cardstock and coloring it in with Stampin' Blends I cut out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped in Cajun Craze ink before attaching to the cardfront with dimensionals.

To finish of the card I added a bow died with Mossy Meadow & Gold 1/4" Trim and some Streaked Dots for extra bling.

So I know this isn't your typical Christmas colors but the texture from the DSP and the fun orange wreath just turned out perfect.  I definitely did the happy dance in the studio when I finished this one!
