30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 8

Good morning,

It's funny, we're knee deep in leaves over here, literally as we're cleaning the yard this morning, while also starting to make Christmas plans.  It's with this feeling that I decided to go with another Christmas themed card for today's gratitude card and one of the stamp sets I used today I has also used yesterday.

I started with Cloud Cover cardstock for the cardbase and then I embossed a piece of Early Espresso cardstock with the candy cane embossing folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders set.

The striped paper is from the Alpine Winter Designer Series Paper Pack and is matted with Peaceful Pine cardstock.

The main stamped image is from the Joyful Friends stamp set and after stamping on Basic White cardstock and coloring with Stampin' Blends I fussy cut the image out and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set, same as yesterday, and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock before fussy cutting and attaching it with dimensionals as well.

The final, touch some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Sequins for a little bling.

This card is so fun, and I love the different textures and colors!
