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!

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #624: Textured Notes

Good morning,

Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge which is CASE the catalog, with twist.  When I was looking through the catalog the card on Page 58 really reminded me of a fancy picture frame with an oil painting so that's what I decided to go with.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the base and then added a piece of DSP from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (love all the dimension in this paper).  Next I took a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and cut the "mat" using the Textured Notes Dies and then cut down a piece of DSP from the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper pack (now I'll admit there was a lot of paper waste to get the image how I wanted it but it was worth it!).  I then used dimensionals to attach this piece to the cardfront.

The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Highland Heather ink before being punched out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch and trimming off the top.  I again used dimensionals to add the greeting.  The final touch was to add some Adhesive Backed Textured Dots.

I love how this card turned out, the textures really let the image be the star!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Also, the Suite sale started yesterday and the stamp set, dies, and DSP used on this project are all included in the sale so if you've had your eye on these fabulous products now's the time to stock up!
