Thankful

I have a simple and a bit elegant card to share today. I’m a pretty fortunate girl and have a pretty great life. :) I’m thankful on most days, and on a day like today where we give our thanks it’s even more special to be appreciative of our blessings in life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Leafy Thanks

I might be a little obsessed with the Silver Glimmer Paper from Stampin’ Up! and the new color Smoky Slate. Paired together, these make me so happy! Check it -

There’s a few different elements on this card that I just love besides the glimmer paper and the gray card base! The ruffled ribbon, the simple background border and the pop of green from the leaf. Just a happy little card and one to add to my stash. :)

Supplies:

CS: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink: Smoky Slate, Pear Pizzaz, Basic Black

Stamp: Woodgrain, Mosiac Madness (border), Secret Garden (leaf), Lovely Little Labels (sentiment)

Misc: Strawberry Slush ruffle trim, rhinestone basic jewel

Scripted Happy Birthday

My friend Sharon still hasn’t received this card although I’ve seen her a handful of times since her birthday in August. Sharon, I’ll get this to you eventually, but at least you can see it here today. :)

Sharon loves bright colors but I wanted to make her a sweet and dainty card. Sharon got me into stamping so I wanted to make a special card for her. I did some heat embossing onto vellum and on the flowers used a dauber to add color from an ink pad, I just love this technique!

Happy birthday friend, sorry I’m such a slacker. But I know you love me anyway.
