Thankful Blog Hop with the Stampers Dozen

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's November and another hop with the Stamper Dozen ladies. This month's theme is thankful/grateful. November is the month where we all stop to think about how grateful we are for all we have, but I think we should do it everyday. Even through the tough times there is always something to be thankful for.

I started creating thinking I was going to make a fall card using leaves in great fall colors. I decided to us the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper as my color inspiration. Well, once I started creating and stamping several different leaves from the Love of Leaves stamp set in different colors and the So Grateful greeting from the Ornate Thanks stamp set, I decided I wanted to use the So Grateful greeting in the four colors I was using. The only problem with that was that now my four different sized leaves just weren't working.

Then, I realized, the smallest leaf looked like a heart if I cut the stem off and turned it upside down. (Which then gave me an idea for Valentine's Day, you'll have to wait to see that) So I stamped the leaf in the three other colors and decided a heart was the perfect accent to the So Grateful sentiments. What do you think?

This is one card that didn't turn out the way I initially imagined in my head, but I absolutely love it. Probably more than what I thought I was going to do when I started creating.

Time to Say Thank You

Hello Stamping Friends,

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing thank you cards. We all have so much to be thankful for to others around us, especially first responders during the past few months. So much is going on in the world and they constantly put their lives on the line to protect ours. I don't have any particular stamps that I thought would be geared to just first responders, but I think they would even appreciate this simple card with just a mere thank you on it. So, next time you are out and about take a thank you card with you and pass it along to any first responder you encounter on your travels. I bet you will make their day with this unexpected kind gesture.

I used the 2020-2022 In-Colors 6"x6" designer series paper for my card. The one and only stamp I used on this card says it all.

This card is so super, quick and easy to make you can make a stack of them to keep with you to pass out. I added the greeting to the card using dimensionals. The rest is attached paper to paper. I really love how this turned out. It took me about ten minutes to make. Now that is quick.

Just think if you change the designer series paper, you can have a totally different looking card that is just as easy to make.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more thank you card ideas.

Also, don't forget the awesome deal happening right now. The best value from Stampin' Up! $99 for over $225 in product. Ask me how to get this today.
