30-Day Gratitude Card Challenge: Day 22

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you are spending time with your friends and family and relaxing.  For today's gratitude card I thought I would share the Thanksgiving card I made for our family.  I started with a Crumb Cake cardbase and stamped the little border image from the Full of Blessings stamp set along the bottom with Crumb Cake ink. I added a piece of Orchard Harvest DSP and a piece of Early Espresso coordinations cardstock that I ran through the Big Shot first with the apothocary accents framelits and then the woodgrain embossing folder.  By lightly sanding the embossed cardstock it really makes the woodgrain show.  Two pearls help anchor the accent piece.  The made stamped image was colored in with a blender pen and classic inks as well as Stampin' Write markers  I sponged around the edges with More Mustard cardstock before matting on a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock.   The greeting is from the same stamp set and stamped with Early Espresso ink.  I cut flag tails on one end and then sponged around the edges with Island Indigo cardstock before using dimensionals to pop it up.

 

I really like all the texture on the card which is so much fun and I'm sure our families will enjoy it as well.  We'll I'm off to enjoy the day before getting ready for the start of our marathon shopping.

 

Take care!

30-Day Gratitude Card Challenge: Day 20

Good morning friends!  I'm back again to share today's gratitude card.  This card uses the same stamp set as yesterday, Full of Blessings.  This card uses the wreath image, I'll admit I had planned on color it in but was having problems with it looking good so this card uses the wreath and I but it out with my paper snips and then sponged it with Old Olive, More Mustard, and Cajun Craze ink.  I added a bow of 1/8" Early Espresso taffeta ribbon to the wreath.  The card also uses the Orchard Harvest DSP for two of the strips and stamped with the Border Banter stamp set on the new cotton ribbon.  The greeting is from the Day of Gratitude stamp set, was inked with Stampin' Write Markers, and punched out with the decorative label punch. 

 

I'll admit this card isn't my normal style and I don't know if I love the card but it is very soft and pretty and I wanted to show another way to use this stamp set.

 

Enjoy,

30-Day Gratitude Card Challenge: Day 19

Welcome back friends and Happy Monday!  You can definately feel the Thanksgiving feeling this week as we're getting ready to celebrate the holiday this weekend and we're really looking forward to getting together with friends.  For today's gratitude card I decided to use the use fall as the inspiration.  I used the Full of Blessings stamp set which has some beautiful images.  I stamped the line image on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored it in with a blender pen and Classic ink, then I cut it out with the apothocary framelits die and Big Shot for the fabulous shape.  The edges were sponges with More Mustard ink.  The designer paper is from the Orchard Harvest DSP and was added to the Cajun Craze cardbase.  The final touch was to add a piece of Victoria Trim ribbon and Early Espresso button with Lucky Limeaid baker's twine tied through the button.

 

Hope you enjoy this card and it helps feel thankful this time of year.
