30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 9

Good morning,

I love weekends, especially weekends that are quiet and relaxing.  This weekend some friends are visiting and we are spending several days in the craft studio creating, it is heaven!  Before the cardstock start flying I wanted to make sure to share today's gratitude card with you.

For this card I started with Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder before matting it with Early Espresso Cardstock.

I used the Amber Autumn stamp set to stamp the pumpkin image and colored it with Stampin' Blends before cutting it out using the coordinating dies.  

The greeting is from the Words for the Season stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock.  I used the Peace on Earth Dies to cut out the greeting and the larger mat piece out of Earthen Toned Metallic Speciality Paper.  To finish off the card I added a piece of Irregular Weave 3/8" Trim under the pumpkins as well as some Streaked Dots embellishments for a little bling!

This card is so elegant, and I love using items that are initially designed for one thing (in this case Christmas) and turn it into something else.
