Grateful For You...

Good morning!
Last week I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and drew a quick picture of the design on a scratch piece of paper and made a mental note to make something before the deadline of Monday. Well, low and behold that same night I woke up in the middle of the night knowing exactly what I was going to make. :)
I made this card last Friday, but didn't have time to get posted until now with Halloween celebrating and all!   Here's the sketch:

And here's the card I made:
I am in love with all the colors I used for this card.  I also love, love the font and style of the stamp set from Merry Everything!  And with the matching dies to the Fall Fest stamp set, this card was a breeze to make! And doesn't that Filigree Frame embossing folder look nice?  

I really like the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  You should head on over to their challenge blog and check out all of the beautiful creations made by other talented stampers.
A few stamping notes:
The leaves surrounding the main phrase were first stamped off onto a piece of scratch paper to obtain a softer look. Grateful for You was stamped in Early Espresso. I colored my Rhinestones with Blendabilities.
Supplies:
Ink: Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz and More Mustard
Paper: Soft Suede, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla (and retired DSP paper)

Stamp sets and accessories:

Fall Fest Photopolymer Bundle                Merry Everything Clear-mount Stamp Set              For All Things Clear-mount Stamp Set      Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folders  Ovals Collection Framelits Die   Rhinestone Basic Jewels Embellishments

The Fall Fest Bundle is awesome!  Great for Halloween and Thanksgiving cards.  Love those little leaves. They are the perfect size for a handmade card. :)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get to stamp a latte!

    So many wonderful details here! I love how the sentiment is stamped on top of your collage of images and the embossing gives this such rich texture. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
