30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 8

Good morning,

I'm so excited, we have some dear friends, who used to be neighbors, visiting this weekend so we have a whole weekend of crafty fun ahead of us, whoo hoo!  Before we get started with that I didn't want to miss out on sharing today's gratitude card.

So today's card is a fun fold card that's super simple.  I started with Early Espresso cardstock for the cardbase which folds over in the front by 1" and then a piece of Gathering Together Designer Series Paper makes up the rest of the cardfront (but it's trimmed down slightly to match the card insert which is 4" x 5.25".

Next I used the Amber Autumn stamp set to stamp the acorn bundle 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 Stitched Shapes dies using dimensionals.  I stamped the greeting from the same stamp set using Cajun Craze ink and tied a bow using Old Olive Thread from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread pack.  The final touch was to add some of the Streaked Dots embellishments for a little bling!

This card is so fun, the plaid with the colored image, screams fall!
