30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 30

Good morning!

It's the last day of November, crazy I know!  I've really enjoyed this years gratitude challenge and hope you have enjoyed following along with me and have been inspired to create something yourself.  I decided to end the month with a winter themed card (to match how cold it is here, haha!) using one of my favorite new bundles, Trucking Along!

One again I started with the Basic White Note Cards and Evelopes set (these really are an easy go to item) and then I added a piece of DSP from the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (I wanted to get 2 cards out of one piece so I cut it to 3" and then added a little strip of the Real Red Pattern along the left side.

I stamped the truck using the Trucking Along stamp set (2 stamp so once with the outline in Basic Black and a second to fill it in with Real Red) then I colored in the tires with my Stampin' Blends before punching it out with the coordinating punch and attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set and was stamp in Night of Navy ink on Crumb Cake cardstock before cutting it out with the Stitched Shapes dies and attaching with dimensionals over a piece of the Real Red & Gold 3/8" Dotted Ribbon (love this!)

This card makes me think of country Christmas which is so fun!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 29

Good morning!

How is November almost over already?  Halloween was yesterday, haha!  Anyways, we're wrapping up this years gratitude challenge and still having fun.  Today I'm sharing another Christmas/winter themed card you are sure to love.

I once again used the Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes pack and added a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock that was embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing folder.  Next I added 2 pieces of DSP from the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, one cut as a rectangle and the other punched out with the 2" Circle Punch.

The greeting is from the Go to Greetings stamp set and was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White cardstock and then cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  To bling up the card I added a few snowflakes from the Adhesive Backed Snowflake Assortment (this is an online exclusive so make sure you don't miss them!)

This card has such a soft effect, it's just so fun, and perfect for past the holidays!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 28

Good morning!

We may be having cold weather here but it doesn't mean we can't have a sunny feeling.  I'm back with today's gratitude card and this one is so fun, it was created for a shoebox swap I was in by Barbara Holicky (she's so creative) featuring the Sweet Citrus Bundle.

This card uses Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the cardbase and then a piece of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder.  This set also cuts images out which is how the different citrus pieces were cut out using Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie, and Lemon Lolly cardstock (love all the textures on this card).

I wrapped a piece of ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo pack around the cardfront and then tied a bow.  The greeting is from the same set and was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist before being cut out with the Stitched Shapes dies and attaching it to the card with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add some gems to bling it up a little.

Isn't this card fun?  Definitely giving me summertime vides.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 27

Good morning and Happy Monday!

Just a few days left in the month and we've almost completed this months gratitude challenge, and I'm so excited.  Today I'm using the fun Silly Goose stamp set for this everyday thankful greeting.

I started with Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Fresh Fresia cardstock that is embossed with the Stipes & Splatters Embossing Folder.  Next I added a strip of the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.

The main image is from the Silly Goose stamp set and was stamped with Black Momento ink on Basic White cardstock before coloring it in with Stampin' Blends before attaching to the cardfront.

The greeting is from the stamp set and was stamped in black in and fussy cut with Snips before attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch was to tie a double bow using the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine and attached it by the goose.

I love these cheery colors and fun goose to let someone know you are grateful for them.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 25

Good morning!

One of the things I love most about the holidays is the music so anytime I can incorporate music things into my crafting I'm all in!

This card uses the Basic White card and envelope pack.  To this I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that was embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder and then sponged all over it with Crumb Cake ink.

I added a piece of DSP from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper that was matted with Real Red cardstock and then another piece from the Joyful Speciality Designer Series Paper that's the green foil check that's also matted with Real Red.

The greeting is from the So Sincere stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock and cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies before attaching it with dimensionals.  The final touch is a bow tied with Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Checked Ribbon.
