30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 27

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been so looking forward to this holiday and being able to see friends and family, not to mention our kiddo, yay!  It's going to be a nice, relaxing day which is perfection.  Of course I couldn't leave you hanging to today's gratitude card and this will be the last fall themed card of the month, I promise!

For today's card I started with Early Espresso cardstock for the cardbase and then a piece of Gathering Together Designer Series Paper.  I added a strip of Early Espresso Two Toned cardstock that was embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder and lightly sanded for a fun effect.  

Next 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.  

This piece was attached to a Crumb Cake circle cut with the Spotlight on Nature dies using dimensionals.  I stamped the greeting from the same stamp set using Early Espresso ink on Cajun Craze cardstock and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles dies and attached with dimensionals.  The final touches was to add a bow tied with Old Olive Thread from the Old Olive & Early Espresso Linen Thread Pack as well as some of the Streaked Dots embellishments for a little bling!

This is a perfect card for Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 26 BONUS Project

Good afternoon,

It's a busy day with travel and last minute details for Thanksgiving, but I made an extra card and decided to share it as a bonus today.   Because I know everyone is busy today I thought this quick and easy card was a must share.

I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of DSP from the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper as the cardfront.  On this piece I heat embossed the greeting using the Amber Autumn stamp set and the Wow Metallics Embossing Powder.

Next I took another piece of the DSP and cut it the same size as the cardfront and fussy cut around the leaves so they looked like they were falling.  I used dimensionals to pop this layer up on the card and finished it off with some Old Olive Linen Thread from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack.

This is such a simple, but elegant looking card it's perfect for fall greetings.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 26 (Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #649)

Good morning,

Happy Thanksgiving eve!  I get to see my kiddo today so I'm a happy mama!  For today's gratitude card I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge for this lovely Christmas themed card.

I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock that's embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder.

Next I used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper for the pattern paper with the middle piece cut using the Nested Essentials Dies.

The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set and was heat embossed with the WoW Gold Mettalic Embossing Powder on Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  I fussy cut around the greeting and then attached it with dimensionals.  

The final touch was to add a few of the Faceted Snowflakes for extra bling.

This was fun sketch and a great way to use some scraps of DSP you may have lying around. 

Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create with this sketch.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 25

Good morning,

Of course I'm leaning in heavy for the fall themed cards this week, sorry in advance.  For today's card I started with Old Olive cardstock for the cardbase and then a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that's a mat for the beautiful die cut cardfront using the Earthen Metallic Speciality Paper and the Amber Autumn dies (it is truly stunning in person)! 

Next 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 and attached to the card with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the same stamp set and is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Basic White cardstock before cutting it out with the Traditional Labels Dies.  A bow tied with the Early Espresso Thread from the Old Olive & Early Espresso Linen Thread Pack was the perfect embellishment to finish it off!
