Tis the season for joy and peace. I hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. Although we are still in November, there are only 27 days until Christmas! Don’t forget that going on right now is our Last Chance sale…..and so Black Friday continues. LOL
Our card today features the Handcrafted Elements Dies and the Night Divine stamp set. I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a layer of Basic White. The ornament die was cropped with soft shimmer specialty paper and the greeting from the Night Divine stamp set is heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Night Divine stamp set is on the Last Chance list. Get yours today while supplies last.

Peace on Earth, wouldn’t that be nice. We can always pray and hope for that but for now, I am bringing you three Peace on Earth cards that I created using the Classic Christmas Bundle. I hope these cards will lift your spirits and fill you with holiday cheer.
Card #1 was created with Classic Christmas Stamp set and the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.
Card #2 was created using the Snowflake Sky embossing folder along with the Handcrafted Elements Dies. The Gold Foil cardstock really makes this ornament stand out. I heat embossed the greeting with Basis White Embossing powder.
Card # 3 was created using the Watercolor Background Technique that I featured in the Make It Monday #135 video a few weeks ago, click hereif you missed that episode. I used only used one of the ornament dies on this card so the watercolor technique would shine through.
I hope you enjoy these cards. Be sure to check out my Make it Monday video #135 if you missed the watercolor background technique. I am really loving how this looks with our Christmas dies and stamped. Happy Stamping!

The “Last Chance” sale for retiring products is going on now through January 3rd. Of course product availability is while supplies last. All the cards I am sharing with you today were created with A Walk in the Forest designer series paper pack which is one of those retiring projects.

My second card is created using a Garden Green card base. I added a layer of Pretty Peacock and cropped the designer series paper with the Deckled Circle Dies. The greeting is from Throughout the Year and cropped with the Nestled Dies.
For my third card is created using the double oval punch and Pretty Peacock cardstock. I fussy cut the Mama and baby bear with my Paper Snips. The greeting is again from Throughout the Year stamp set.

Wow, it is so hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am blessed to be able to spend some quality time with my daughter. Seems like only yesterday that she was still in high school and now she is living on her own in Chicago, so I cherish all her visits.
For today’s card I created a strip of designer series paper using the leaves from the Autumn Leaves bundle. I used the larger leaf and stamped in Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink. I stamped the smaller leaves with Cajun Craze ink and used the coordinating dies to crop and attach them to the greeting.
The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and cropped with the frame from the Autumn Leaves Bundle. The dots from the Layering Leaves stamp set and are stamped with Cajun Craze ink. I attached the leaves and the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope this card puts a smile on your face and that your Thanksgiving is filled with lots of turkey, laughter, and the love of family. Happy Stamping!

God trusts you more than you will ever know and today’s gospel reading reminds us that everything we own and everything we are belongs to God. God has given us all many and very different gifts. It is up to us to use those gifts to honor and glorify God. Our parable today reminds us that God is always in control and while he is not physically on earth with us today as he was with his apostles, if we allow him, He will walk each step of our journey with us.
Don’t waste your gifts and don’t waste precious time. Invite God into your life! We all have different gifts, one is not more important than the other, but what is important is to use your gifts to better the Kingdom of God on earth so we will be prepared to spend eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven.

This time of year in my neighborhood not only are the leaves falling but also the acorns and our Fruitful Blessings Bundle is the perfect set to showcase fall. I began with an Early Espresso card base. I stamped the single leaves with Crumb Cake ink onto a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and added it to the card front.
The leaves and the acorns were all colored with our Watercolor Pencils. I used a Blender Pen to soften the lines and attach them to a panel of Very Vanilla and Early Espresso with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and cropped with the die from Autumn Leaves Bundle, another great bundle for the fall.

On Monday I posted a video on how to create a background using a watercoloring technique and today I am sharing a card that I created using that technique. I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Poppy Parade re-inkers to create my background. It is amazing how changing out the colors gets a different background every time.
I began with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Highland Heather and then another layer of Basic Black before adding the watercolor layer. The greeting is from the Wanted to Say Dies and is cropped using Basic Black and Highland Heather cardstock.
Since it is cold and flu season I thought it might be a good idea to stock up on my get well soon cards. I hope you stay healthy! Happy Stamping.
