Grateful Acorns

Good Thursday morning stampers!

 

I could not sleep last night, which means I was up even earlier than normal, which means I had a little extra stamping time before starting work...I'll take it!

 

I saw the latest TGIF Challenges sketch last night and just had to play along.  Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep...craft-somnia!

 

I haven't made many Thankful/Grateful cards this season...it's never too late to start, right?!?  I went to my favorite thank you stamp set for today's card - Acorny Thank You.  It will be a super sad day for me when this set retires.  I love the acorns and the coordinating punch!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Tip Top Taupe, Whisper White, 2015-2017 In Colors DSP Stack, Gold Glimmer

Ink ~ Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Calypso Coral

Stamp Set ~ Acorny Thank You

Other Supplies ~ Acorn Builder, Woodland Embossing Folder, Gold Metallic Thread, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Metallic Sequins

 

It's a little hard to see the Woodland Embossed background, but it's there and looks so much better in person!

 

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

 

Happy Stamping!

I am back home after a whirlwind trip down to Portland/Vancouver and back so I could attend the first Stampin' Up!

Artisan Design Team.  Our very own Amy O'Neill was selected to be a part of the team and I am over the moon happy for her!!!  I can't wait to see what her and there rest of the team creates this year!

I did apply this year and was not selected, but I was so happy for everyone that was selected that I wasn't even disappointed.  It just gives me another year to work hard and keep trying :-)  The card I am sharing today is the card I made to display on the Artisan applicant board at the OnStage Vancouver event.  I used my favorite set from the Holiday Catalog...Acrony Thank You!

We have a fun challenge this week...a Halloween themed project or a project using ribbon...or mash it up and create a Halloween themed project with ribbon!

I have kind of Halloween'ed myself out in, but I am still loving all things pumpkin and made a fun punch art pumpkin card using some of my favorite Stamping' Up! ribbons!

We are still sweating through one of the hottest summers we've had in a few years, but that doesn't mean I'm not starting to think about fall...but only a little, because I know after fall comes the dreadful winter and I am NOT ready for that!  As we enjoy our last few weeks of summer break, easing my way into fall is a little easier since I have some fun new fall stampy things to play with! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Into the Woods DSP

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight

Stamp Set ~ Acorny Thank You

Other Supplies ~ Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Into the Woods Elements, Acorn Builder Punch

Little itty bitty acorns are starting to fall from our trees, so they inspired this card today.  I love this "Acorny" set and the coordinating punch is the best!  And those wood elements...adorable and perfect for all of your fall creations!

I'll leave you today with a fun picture of the MM girls who attended Convention.  Can't wait to see everyone again...soon I hope!

Happy Stamping!
