Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. This month the theme is Fall cards!

WARMEST HEART

This was my swap card for the fall Control Freaks swap a couple months ago! I love this plaid in the Them Bones Designer Paper! I remember my dad always carried one of the large thermoses around with him when he was farming.

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cajun Craze cardstock, score at 5-1/2 and fold to form base card.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock was added on top.
The 2-1/2 x 4 plaid print from Them Bones Designer Paper was added across the center.
A 1/2 x 4 band of Basic Black cardstock was added across the Radiating Stitches Die cut from Basic Gray.
Get well soon from Warmest Heart was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper left corner.
The large thermos was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Pumpkin Pie and decorated with the Warmest Heart decorative die from Cajun Craze cardstock.
The other thermos was stamped with Cajun Craze Ink on Cajun Craze cardstock, then trimmed down shorter. The band across the bottom was colored with the Basic Black Blends. The top and handle were cut with the dies from Basic Black cardstock. Both thermoses were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A black Sparkle Gem was added to the lid of the thermos.

It really came together so quickly! Check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
