Always Thankful again

October 7, 2011 By Connie | 4 Comments

I was really on the fence on whether or not to purchase this set, Stampin' Up!'s Always Thankful.  But…I am really "thankful" that I did!  Even though I'm not really a "coloring book" type of stamper, I do enjoy it once in a while.  These images are easy to color and you can really get a variety of looks from them.  I made this card for a special person.  I know she will see it here first, but at least she knows I'm thinking of her and do appreciate her!

 

 

I started with a base of Early Espresso cardstock and layered on Pool Party, taking my colors from the two Spice Cake Designer Papers that I used.  I added the Scallop Border Punch along the bottom of the horizontal DSP.  I stamped the image in Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and watercolored with Pool Party, Old Olive, More Mustard and Sahara Sand (for shadow) Stampin' Write Markers and my trusty AquaPainter.  I layered the Very Vanilla on more Early Espresso and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals on the front of the card.  I added the greeting from Petite Pairs with Early Espresso Ink on Pool Party and punched it with the 1" Circle Punch.  I hope she likes it!

 

I have a LONG to-do list today.  Hubby is home on vacation for a week, plus today.  Several honey-do projects that I know I'll get roped into "helping".  Main one is to paint our bedroom…but that it kind of scary.  Every time we finish decorating our master bedroom, we end up MOVING!  I do NOT want to move again!  So…hoping we don't jinx ourselves!  But…I really am tired of my bedding and wall color in there!

 

 

I have several Ribbon Shares that only need 1-2 spots left before I order, including the Scallop Dots, Ruffled and 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbons!  With the holidays coming up, you will definitely want these for your cards and gifts!  I offer THREE yards so you have PLENTY for your crafting and class needs!  See the Ribbon Share details HERE!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    This was a beautiful card!  It was even MORE beautiful when I opened my mailbox and the envelope and held it in my hand!  I was that special person that was lucky enough to receive this amazing card.  Thank you so much Connie, you made my day!!
