Cottage Wreaths: Grateful

Good morning!!  I have another challenge entry for you today!!   This morning, we're playing along with The Paper Players for their "Fall Fun" theme! 

For this card, I stamped the leafy wreath in Cajun Craze, along with the sentiment.  The leaves are cut with the coordinating dies from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock:  Gold for the leaves and bronze for the bow!  Quick and simple!!

Hello Harvest for GDP#359

Good morning!!  Today's card features the Hello Harvest Bundle--it's such a pretty bundle!  Love the pumpkins and flowers!   The theme for the Global Design Project this week is Autumn/Fall, so here ya go!

The pumpkin is stamped directly onto the Basic White panel, and colored with Stampin' Blends.  I stamped the flowers on a scrap of Basic White (I save all my scraps!! haha!), and cut it out with the coordinating die and Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  I also used Stampin' Blends on the flowers, and I suggest coloring before cutting--seemed easier to me!   For some added dimension, cut an extra of the floral die (no need to stamp or color it), and glue it behind your colored image.

Here are all the products used. on today's card:

Happy Saturday!  I'm getting a late start to the day--woke up with a migraine!  Boo!!  And, to add to it, they replaced my kitchen sink this morning!  Which is a great thing, but the noise was not fun!  But, after a long nap, and lots of banging, my headache is gone, and I have a beautiful new sink!

I'm sharing with you a card we made at my August Stamp Club meeting!  Along with the two "drafts"--I couldn't decide what colors I liked where, so I tried several different combinations!  This first card was my "final" version, although most of the ladies went with the Pool Party background!  Which do you like best?

Here are the supplies used:

Perfect Partners

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you will save 10% off the retail price.
