Golden Gratitude

All supplies are Stampin' Up. Medallion embossed in gold, Day of Gratitude set in Tangerine and Suede with matching cardstocks.

5 minute card

This literally took 5 minutes to make and I was quite happy with the result. The Whisper White card was run through the Big Shot with the Tulips Frame embossing folder, the French Foliage leaves were stamped using Pumpkin Pie with Tangerine Tango and Old Olive edged with some Poppy Parade. The sentiment is in Turquoise from the Day of Gratitude set. A great one layer card that is easily mailed.

French Foliage

All supplies are Stampin' Up.
French Foliage, Four Frames, and Day Of Gratitude stamp sets. Crumb Cake cs run through crimper with Very Vanilla and a Chocolate Chip base. Earths buttons and linen thread.

Day Of Gratitude

For a color challenge of using Cherry Cobbler (it looks like black in the photo, maybe I can get a better pic in the daylight tomorrow), More Mustard, and Calypso Coral. I used these three colors in the inking if the images~ the medallion and sentiment from Day of Gratitude and the leaves from the French Foliage set which was then embossed with the lattice square folder. Four Frames set and punch used for sentiment and new Cherry Cobbler ribbon with buttons and half pearls. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Virtual Stamping Weekend

It is Virtual Stamping Night over at SCS if you want to join in. I know I won't get to all of the challenges but I'll give it a go. I think the main thing to remember is to keep your area fairly neat or it quickly overwhelms you with the time limits. I keep a box of pre-cut cards in all colors and a book with sketches at the ready.
My first card uses all Stampin' Up supplies: Holly Berry Bouquet paper with Chocolate Chip and Real Red cardstocks. Stamp sets are Stitched Stockings (holiday mini) and Bells & Boughs for sentiment. (Main catalog).

My first attempt at a telescoping card! I like these and they are not hard to do. Check SCS in the VSN area for the tutorial links.
I used Day of Gratitude and cardstocks of Mustard, Pumpkin, and Tangerine with Whisper White. Also some sentiments from Three Little Words and Field Flowers.

Springtime Smiles

All supplies are Stampin' Up. I combined the sentiment, egg, and flourish from the Easter Blossoms set and the Day Of Gratitude medallion for this clean and simple card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge over at SCS. (For Mary Beth- mbrcutie25)
I really like to find ways to make each set versatile for year round use and both of these seasonal sets would work for that.

My second pic is the clown that we made at our cake decorating class yesterday. Mainly we were working on roses which I think I may need to keep practicing. A lot. Sorry I didn't get the picture of the clown before my guys tore into the cake.

Vogue Gratitude

I combined three Stampin' Up sets for today's SCS Color Challenge of Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz, and Baja Breeze. Vintage Vogue for the flower, medallion behind that is from the flower stamped four times using Day Of Gratitude, sentiment is from Silhouette Sentiments (hostess level 1). Baja Breeze based embossed with Sizzix folder, Kiwi Kiss was substituted for the Pear. Embellished with Baja seam binding ribbon, Adornments rose, and Ice Rhinestone circle brad. Springtime Vintage designer paper. Sketch layout is from this week's Mojo Monday 174.

Heartfelt Gratitude

Today at Splitcoast we celebrate our 300th Color Challenge! For this special event you can choose your very favorite from all of the past challenges. I chose Real Red, Basic Black, and Brushed Gold. I stamped the medallion from Day Of Gratitude in Versamark and then embossed it in white, the sentiment is from Heartfelt Thanks. I stamped the flower in Encore gold ink and added some red taffeta ribbon and my dessert option was rhinestones. Hope you can play along!

Thankful Thursday

It's hard to believe that next Thursday will be Thanksgiving already! Just enough time to get some cards mailed back home to the East Coast. All supplies for this card are Stampin' Up. For todays SCS challenge to use brown and for the CAS sketch.
Day Of Gratitude stamp set colored with markers of Saffron, Pumpkin, Riding Hood Red, and Celery. Sentiment is embossed in Copper, vintage brad used for medallion center. Rub on from Autumn Harvest.

Day Of Gratitude

All supplies are Stampin' Up!
Baja Breeze, Really Rust, Whisper White cardstocks with some retired Christmas dp on bottom. For the top I rolled the Belle wheel diagonally in rust across the Baja. Added some Chantilly lace and lots of piercing. For the medallion (and sentiment) I used the Day Of Gratitude set colored in the coordinating colors of the card.

Medallion Day Of Gratitude

For this one layer card I combined the Medallion stamp in So Saffron and the new Day Of Gratitude stamp over top. This one was stamped using Ruby Red, Olive, Orange and Saffron. Sentiment stamped in Dusty Durango.

Day Of Gratitude Pocket Thanks

New SU: day of Gratitude set, embossed medallion over stamped images with Versamark and clear ep. Autumn Spice paper. Pocket is made from Very Vanilla, tag is So Saffron with new SU lace. layout from an old Paper Crafts mag.

Autumn Spice Gratitude

Playing with more of the new Stampin' Up goodies! This Autumn Spice specialty paper is really pretty and textured too. I think this one sheet can just about stand on it's own for a card it is so lovely. I used the Day Of Gratitude medallion that I had colored with markers and then cut out. Added some Saffron brads and Chantilly lace.
The other card was super quick. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede and used the large oval punch with the Sizzlits Lots Of Tags tag in Cajun Craze and some Daffodil taffeta ribbon. Both are on So Saffron card bases.

Day Of Gratitude

Trying something a little different with this new set. It looks much better in real life, it was hard to get a good picture of this. I gold embossed the images on espresso cardstock and highlighted the medallion with craft inks. Added rhinestone brad. Card base is Pear Pizzazz.
