I hope Wednesdays “Leaves” Blog Hop got you in the mood for fall. Click here if you missed this month’s Blog Hop! Now is the time to catch the fall spirit because Thanksgiving is just 37 days away! I pray you have many things to be thankful for this year! Being grateful for what I have always puts me in a good mood, so I guess you could say being grateful is one of my favorite things.
For those of you who follow me know that I love fall and Winter, especially creating Halloween, Fall and Christmas cards and projects. I am not sure if it is the colors or just the joyful spirit in the air. Probably the Joy because really do red and green actually colors that go together outside of Christmas?? Perhaps they do, remember I am no expert.
Today’s card features the Cottage Wreath stamp set and dies featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I believe this bundle was featured in last year’s holiday mini catalog, so perhaps you have it in your stamping stash. If not, no worries, you can order it today. All the supplies for today’s card are featured at the end of this post.
I decided to feature Cajun Craze and Old Olive, two of my favorite Stampin’ Up! colors for fall. The Old Olive layer measures 3-3/4 x 5 and the Cajun Craze almost square measures 2-5/8 x 2-3/4. I am not sure why I did not make it easier on myself and just make it a 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 square. I guess because I stamped the wreath of leaves first and cut it down, which ended up making my white piece 2-1/2 x 2-5/8. Some cards are just like that! LOL
The grateful greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink, but Early Espresso would look nice as well. I stamped the fern and fall looking leaves on the white panel to create a fun background before layering. Since I have a variety of layers I decided not to use Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
