30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 10

Good morning,

When the September-December Mini catalog was released, I instantly fell in love with the All Wrapped Up Speciality Designer Series Paper, all the foil accents are stunning so I was so excited to get crafty with it.

I started with Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase before adding a piece of the DSP as a cardfront.  Next, I cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to add the floral image to with dimensionals (the floral is another pattern from the DSP and I just fussy cut it out, but there are coordinating dies available).

The greeting is from the Banner Sayings stamp set and is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.

This card is so beautiful and easy to make in mulitiples so it's perfect for the holidays with whatever greeting you need.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 9

Good morning,

It's the start of another week and I decided to switch things for today's gratitude card and make an everyday card using the beautiful Moonlight Flora Designer Series Paper.

This card uses Secret Sea cardstock for the cardbase and I used one of the patterns of DSP as the card front.  I took another piece of DSP and cut it into 3 strips that was matted on a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

The greetings are from the Round About Messages stamp set and the circle text is stamped in Secret Sea ink on Peaceful Pine cardstock while the "thanks" is stamped on Basic White cardstock with Berry Burst ink and attached with dimensionals.


To finish off the card I added some Gold Adhesive Backed Dots for some needed bling.

I love the colors and patterns in the DSP and it was a perfect compliment for the bold font in the stamps!

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!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 7

Good morning,

I'm looking forward to a relaxing day, which includes lots of baking, which yes is relaxing for me.  Before I get started with all the fun in the kitchen I wanted to hop on and share today's gratitude card.  I decided to get a quick and easy card done with Christmas vibes as the holidays will be here before we know it.

This card starts with Night of Navy cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of DSP from the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper pack for the cardfront.

Next I used another pattern from this DSP that has the cute scene and it's matted with Shaded Spruce cardstock and popped up with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy ink directly on the DSP.

Yes, just that easy, sometimes we need the easy cards which still look great.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 6

Good morning,

Sometimes you have a pattern paper that is so pretty you really want it to be the star and today's card showcases this stunning pattern from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.

The cardfront is Cloud Cover and I matted the DSP with Secret Sea cardstock.  Next I used the Exciting Times stamp set to stamp the frame piece using Basic White cardstock and Secret Sea ink and the inner piece with the greeting is Cloud Cover.  Both pieces were fussy cut out (super easy with this shape) and I popped the greeting up with dimensionals.

I really love the simplicity and elegance of this card, can't wait to send it to someone special!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 5

Good morning,

I have to say, the start of November weather wise is very mild, which I don't mind but it's letting me think about extending the summerish vibes and decided to use that as inspiration for today's gratitude card.

I started with a card base of Cloud Cover cardstock and then matted a piece of Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper with Basic Black cardstock.  I used the gingham pattern as a strip along the left side and then added a third piece of DSP with one of the 3x4 scenes.  

The bugs are from the Sweet Bugs bundle and after coloring them in with Stampin' Blends I cut them out with the coordinating dies and attached them to the card with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Everyday Arches stamp set and was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Cloud Cover cardstock before fussy cutting out and attaching it with dimensionals as well.  The final touch, was to add a few of the white dots from the Shimmering Dots embellishments.

This card is so fun, perfect for any occasion!
