30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 30

Good morning,

We've reached the last day of November which means it's also the last day of this years gratitude challenge.  I have really enjoyed creating and sharing with you every day this month and I hope you've enjoyed and been inspired along the way.

I'm finishing off the month with a Christmas themed card using the Peace on Earth Product Suite, which is stunning!

For this card I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added two different pieces of DSP from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper as well as a strip of Glimmer Paper from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was heat embossed using White Embossing Powder on Secret Sea cardstock before being cut out with the Spotlight on Nature dies and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  For the finishing touches I used the Peace on Earth dies to cut some doves out of Basic White cardstock and the little branches they're carrying using another color of glimmer paper from the same package.

You could easily turn this card into a Christmas card just by changing up the greeting (we did that in this months Holiday Just Cards Class).  So call and peaceful!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 29

Good morning,

We are nearing the end of this years gratitude challenge and I'm so thankful that you've stuck around this month and hope you're enjoying everything.  Of course I couldn't end the month without another card showcasing the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set, it is stunning!

This card has a Crumb Cake cardbase and then I matted a piece of Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper with Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.

I stamped the main image on Basic White cardstock and then colored it in with Stampin' Blends before cutting it out with the Deckled Rectangles Dies.

The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.  I did pop this whole layer up with dimensionals and finished off the card with some Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints (these embellishments are too die for so make sure you stock up!)

Love the feel and all the textures of this card and can't wait to use it this holiday season.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 28

Good morning,

Happy Black Friday!  If you know me you know that Black Friday is one of my favorite days of the year, early morning shopping and savings, love it!  Of course, I couldn't forget today's gratitude card and this one is really special.

I think one of the overlooked stamp sets in this years Holiday catalog is the Joyful Tidings set, so lovely I had to get it in my first order but am just now getting it inky.

I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and added a piece of Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) matted with Basic Black cardstock for the cardfront.  I added another pattern of paper from the same pack as a belly band.

After stamping the wreath on Basic White cardstock and coloring it in with Stampin' Blends I cut out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped in Cajun Craze ink before attaching to the cardfront with dimensionals.

To finish of the card I added a bow died with Mossy Meadow & Gold 1/4" Trim and some Streaked Dots for extra bling.

So I know this isn't your typical Christmas colors but the texture from the DSP and the fun orange wreath just turned out perfect.  I definitely did the happy dance in the studio when I finished this one!

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.
