Paisleys & Posies

Today’s card is one that I made for my first ever Card Buffet.  Nice and easy.  I had some cut pieces left over and decided to figure out how to repurpose them for a workshop I had last Thursday.  I also wanted to try the “Give Thanks” stamp from the Suite Seasons stamp set.

Hmm….what to do….

The first thing I did was change the orientation of the card from vertical to horizontal.  I then added a little more Baker’s Twine and stamped the sentiment on a separate piece of paper and popped it up.  Check out my “new” card in the second picture.

Don’t you love the Petals & Paisleys designer paper?  This sheet is one of my favorite from the package.  I can’t decide which one of these sentiments I like the best.  They both hit home for me.  I may have to choose the Thankful, Grateful, Blessed.  How about you?

Both cards are pretty easy.  Which one do you like the best?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

My favorite part of this card is the sentiment.  Thankful, Grateful, Blessed seems to cover it all.  As I mentioned in my last post I am very Thankful, Grateful and Blessed for all of you and also to Stampin’ Up!.  They allow me to “Love what I do” and “Share what I Love” as well as give me the opportunity to earn incentives like the trip to Thailand.  Stampin’ Up! is a great company to be part of.

This card was made with the Paisleys & Posies stamp set along with the COORDINATING Paisley Framelits Dies.  Don’t you love how I always capitalize COORDINATING?  Ha!  Anyway, this is a fun stamp set with all of the different designs and shapes.  The set has wonderful sentiments too like the Thankful, Grateful, Blessed.

As I’m writing this and realizing how powerful this sentiment is, at least to me, I think I’m going to have to make some kind of little frame with this sentiment on it to simply remind me each day that I should be thankful and grateful and that my life truly is blessed.

This card is pretty easy unless you’re me and have trouble with stamping randomly.  Ha!  I started by stamping the three images in the center that are popped up and then moved out from there.  After I filled in my sheet I stamped the three popped images on scrap paper, die cut them and added them to the card.

I hope that today your are thankful and grateful for something and that your day is truly blessed.  Have a great one!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
