Stamp Off Thankful Wreath Builder

Hey stamping friends.  Susan, Buffy and I are stuffed,

but ready to share some stamping inspiration with you.

Today, we are featuring "Thankful" cards.

Even though we were apart this year, I am so thankful

for family, and the ability to have "text conversations"

with one whole side of the family!  Of course,

much of our conversation was about FOOD.

Most of us exclaimed at the one sister who was cooking

the entire meal herself, including Mac and Cheese and

Candy Cane Pie (yum!).  She is a

culinary overachiever.

When I think about being thankful, I love using a wreath.

It reminds me of welcome, warmth and completion.

That is one of the reasons I frequently pick up the 

the Arrange a Wreath set (page 127) with coordinating

Wreath Builder Dies (page 173).  This combination offers

seasonal components and great sentiments.

Speaking of sentiments, I pulled out my Country Home set

(page 89) and then cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The last bit was to layer everything on to a piece of 

In Good Taste DSP (page 148).  

Thank you for swinging past my blog, and please

check out the offerings from Buffy and Susan!

Oh, and enjoy those Thanksgiving leftovers!
 

Forever Fern Sneak Peak

Two of the things that I am grateful for right now, are

friends and family.   Note to self; I need to let friends know,

by sending them cards!

This card is a bit of a sneak peak, featuring a 3D embossing folder,

called Painted Texture, that will be available in January.

It is a wonderful texture to color with the new SU 

Blending Brushes (available in January).

The card features the Forever Fern Stamp set (p 110),

Forever Flourishing Dies (p 175).

The sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set was cut 

out with a Potted Succulent Dies (page 39), from the 

January - June 2021 Mini Catalog.

 

Arrange a Wreath Christmas Gift Pack

One gift that I often give others, are packets of cards.

My Pilates teacher is a dancer.  In fact, this image

looks a great deal like her.  So I made a package

of cards for her to use at Christmas time.

 

All of the products used for this card are retired,

except for the Christmas sentiment from the

 Arrange a Wreath set on page 127.

I hope that she likes them!
