30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 13

Good morning,

I've really been in a coloring mood so I decided to stay with it but make a Christmas themed card for today's gratitude challenge.

I used Misty Moonlight cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of the Alpine Winter Designer Series Paper and matted it with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardfront.  A coordinating piece of DSP from the pack was added along the left side, which was matted with Early Espresso cardstock.

For the oh so cute gnome, I used the Merry Mischief bundle and after coloring him in with Stampin' Blends I cut him out with the coordinating dies and attached him with dimensionals.

I used some Pecan Pie cardstock and the same dies to cut the door he's standing next to.  The greeting is from the Simply Leaves stamp set and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  The final touch was to add some blue gems from the Radiant Gems.

This gnome is oh so cute and perfect to send wintery thank you wishes to someone special in your life!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 12

Good morning,

It's definitely feeling like fall, which I'm really enjoying. I decided to channel those feelings into today's gratitude card which uses the Painted Pumpkins bundle.

I started with Cajun Craze cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Peaceful Pine DSP from the 2026-2028 In Colors Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper.

Next I used the Painted Pumpkins dies to cut the fence and leaves as well as the pumpkins, once they were colored with Stampin' Blends.  The greeting is stamped in Golden Glow inks on Basic White before fussy cutting it and all the pieces were attached with dimensionals.  


The final touch, some Golden Glow dots from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots.

This card is perfect for fall thank you greetings, which I always need this time of year.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2026: Day 11

Good morning,

Happy Veteran's Day!  I hope you are enjoying your day and honoring those who served, we're oh so thankful.  For today's gratitude card I decided to share one of the cards I made for Thanksgiving as I'm getting ready to get them in the mail.

This card starts with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper that's matted with Cajun Craze cardstock for the cardfront.  I used another pattern from the DSP pack and cut a circle with the Layering Circles Dies as a contrast to the base.

I decided to play with the Lustrous Leaves Bundle but not hot foil by stamping and cutting out the leaves and then used the coordinating masks to color them in.  Then I scrunched them up and sponged with Pecan Pie ink to add some dimension to the leaves.

The greeting is from the Soiree Salutations stamp set and is stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock with Cajun Craze ink and was attached to the card with dimensionals.  The final touch, a bow tied with some Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh Ribbon.

I really love all the different patterns and textures in this card, perfect for fall greetings.

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!
