30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 13 (Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 596) Something Fancy

Good morning,

Happy Wednesday!  Loving how this weeks going and what we have to look forward to this week, so much fun!  Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge which was Simple Stamping which fits perfect with my gratitude challenge.

Today's card showcases the Something Fancy stamp set and Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper.

I used Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that's matted with Mossy Meadow cardstock and then added a strip of the pumpkin DSP down the side.

The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze ink and I finished off the card with a few green dots from the Faux Glass Dots (these have been my go to embellishment lately, haha!)

This card is nice and simple, perfect for a beginner stamper, or if you need to make multiples of a card!

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!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 12

Good morning,

We're having this crazy weather where it's fall but the weather is much warmer and making it hard to get all the fall feelings.  For today's gratitude card I wanted to use the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to help bring all the fall feels.

This card is a fun split card.  The cardbase is Balmy Blue cardstock.  Then I took a piece of the DSP and cut it in half from corner to corner and then matted it with Garden Green cardstock.

The greeting is from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set and was stamped in Garden Green ink.  For a final touch I added a couple of Cajun Craze accents from the Faux Glass Dots.

I love that cards don't have to be overly complicated and detailed and can still wow the receiver and this card fits that bill!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 11

Good morning,

Excited for the start of a new week and we found out we get to see the kiddo in a few days for a suprise visit, whoo hoo!  

Getting back to this months gratitude challenge to day I'm sharing a great card that showcases the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (one of the pieces has these great tag pieces for super easy crafting).

The card has Cajun Craze cardstock for the cardbase and then I started layering different patterns of DSP.  The tag piece is also matted with Cajun Craze cardstock and the greeting is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and stamped in Night of Navy ink.  I added several pieces of Linen Thread to the top of the tag before attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This card is so fun and a great masculine card for the dudes in our lives!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 10

Good morning,

Looking for a relaxing Sunday that of course has a little crafting in the forecast (always fun).  For today's gratitude card I wanted to share a fun card using embossing with the new Two-Tone cardstock.

This card uses Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase.  Then I took a piece of Garden Green cardstock from the Snow Day 12x12 Two Tone Cardstock and embossed it with the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder before lightly sanding over the trees to bring out the core of the cardstock so it looks like snow (so fun!).

The greeting was made using the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and I embossed it and then cut it out with the coordinating dies before attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add a know tied with the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Check Ribbon.

This card is so fun and wows without a lot of extra work!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 9

Good morning,

We have a busy Saturday in store so I wanted to make sure today's gratitude card was on the easier side and once again lets our fabulous designer series paper shine.

This card has a Petal Pink cardbase and then a full piece of Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper that's matted with Night of Navy cardstock.

The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and was stamped in Highland Heather on Basic White cardstock before being fussy cut and then attached with dimensionals.

For a fun accent I took a couple of pieces of white baker's twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack and colored it with Old Olive Blend's before tying in a bow and attaching to the card.

This card reminds of spring and summertime weather and a view I would love to see in person!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 7

Good morning,

I'm back and sharing another thank you card today that uses the same DSP as yesterday's card for more design options.

This card has a Pecan Pie cardbase and then a piece of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper that's matted with Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

Next I used the Greetings of the Season Dies to cut this tag with the cute deer DSP.  The greeting is from the Humble Home and was stamped and then colored in with Pecan Pie Blends and the stamped piece was also run through the same die so it had the matching stitching around the bottom.

The final touch was to add a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4" Satin Ribbon and then tie a bow around the ribbon with Linen Thread.

This card is just lovely and the antique imagine totally reminds me of holidays as a child!
