So grateful

There are several things I love on this card.

First, the Softly Falling embossing folder. It works any time of year, even though it's in the Holiday Catalog. I love the texture. You can choose to have the "heavy" texture anywhere on the card, because this is a 6x6 folder. So many options!

Second, the gold candy dots. Are you wondering where they are in the catalog? They are actually the White Perfect Accents colored with a gold Sharpie. You're welcome.

Third, the "grateful," in Gold Glimmer Paper. The word come from the Seasonal Frame Thinlits Dies in the Holiday Catalog (page 40). I love the script-y font and the bit of shine the word brings to the card.

Fourth, the circle of flowers from Into the Woods Designer Series Paper. I just used the 2 1/2 inch circle punch to isolate the flower set I wanted. You could also easily use circle framelits.

I hope you're making something you love this week! If you are, share it here!

Lotus Blossom Note Card

I am picky about which flower sets I choose. This one didn't leap out at me on the page, but once I saw it stamped, I fell in love with it! Lotus Blossom is a Sale-a-bration choice (free with a $50 merchandise purchase). Available only through March, this 3-step stamp set is just lovely!

Work of Art notecard

Sometimes you just need a quick and easy card! I like to have cards like this on hand because they work for birthdays, thank yous, or little notes. After I stamped it, the card seemed unfinished to me, so I added a little doodling and some baker's twine.

Work of Art for Tonight's Catalog Kickoff!

So exciting--a big group for tonight's Catalog Kickoff! We'll be making this project (one of 3), using one of my favorite new sets--Work of Art. There are samples everywhere out there, including some of mine here and here. It's a wonderful set that allows you to create just about anything! Swoops and zigzags, splotches, hearts, and dots. A little touch of gold makes this notecard extra fun.

Hope to see you tonight!
