30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 28

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

Love this time of year and our tradition of spending time with friends from college who have become family, it's such a great time that always makes us happy and rejuvenated after our festivities.  I did want to take time today to share my gratitude card and it's my last fall themed card for the year.  This card uses the Autumn Expressions stamp set and coordinating dies, which are fabulous!

For this card the cardbase is Mossy Meadow cardstock and then I took a piece of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper as the cardfront and it's matted with Cajun Craze cardstock.

For the stamped image I stamped the greeting on Very Vanilla cardstock with Cajun Craze ink and then cut it out with the dies.  I used the same dies to cut the gold pieces to make the frame and faux chain using Gold Foil sheets.  Once attaching to the cardfront with dimensionals I added a few of the Faux Glass Dots as an accent.

This card, it's perfect for fall and all the grateful feelings I have this time of year.  I hope you and your family are able to have an enjoyable day however you choose to celebrate!

Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #593: Autumn Expressions

Good morning,

The leaves changing color and falls arrival are the inspiration for this weeks Paper Craft Crew inspiration challenge.  The Splendid Autumn Designer Series paper is perfect for all your fall projects and I love it!

This card uses Mossy Meadow cardstock and then I used Cajun Craze cardstock as the mat for the DSP (it's so beautiful I had to let it be the star of the card).

The stamped image is from the Autumn Expressions stamp set and was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used the woodgrain stamp to stamp the background using Crumb Cake ink and stamped off once to make the image lighter.  Once I was finished stamping I cut the piece out using the Deckled Circles dies and then attached it to the cardfront using dimensionals.

To finish off the card, I added a bow out of Wild Wheat 3/8" Rustic Striped Ribbon and then added a few Faux Glass Dots as an accent.

This card turned out just lovely and perfect for this time of year and letting someone know how much you appreciate them.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to share what you create using this challenge.
