Everyone loves a sale right?  Especially at release time!  The discount is good on everything in the store except for new release items. This is the perfect opportunity to order some previously released items that are on your wish list, along with new September goodies!

So on to the cards!  I have two to share today with a thankful theme. 

Thankful With All My Heart

To say I had fun making this card is an understatement.  I really enjoyed putting the pieces together to create this! My inspiration came from this photo on Minted. To create the outside borders of this card I used several new sets combined with a few previously released sets. The majority of the images come from the new Thankful Thoughts & Eat Pie Stamp Sets.  I also used a few Encouraging Word Stamps & the tiny little star-shaped image from the Warm Welcome Stamp set.  I stamped all of the images in black and then used copics to color in the flowers and highlight some of the leaves.  The flowers are die cut with the Thankful Thoughts Dies.

For the inside sentiment I die cut the Thankful Word Die three times and stacked them together to create thickness. I then stamped the sentiment, from Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set, and adhered.

Gold & Green Thanks
For this next card I wanted to bling it up with some foil and gold accents.

This card was also inspired by one I found on Minted quite a while back that I had pinned to my Inspiration file on Pinterest.  You can see my inspiration here.  I started by using Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink and rubbing the pad over the left side of the card panel.  After it dried I used a paintbrush and some Minc Reactive Mist to paint the brush strokes.  I dried that with my heat gun and then ran it through my Minc with gold foil.  LOVE the results!  I then used the cool, new Snarky Shadow Thanks Stamps & Die Bundle to die cut the thanks outline & then stamped the thanks with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.  Then for the shadow I stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Gold Glitter Zing Embossing Powder.  I really like this thanks image!  For the rest of the sentiment, from the same stamp set, I stamped it on a light gray cardstock and adhered.  I finished it off by adding a few gold sequins.

Available For a Limited Time
The next bit of news is that there are some cute stamps that Laura has brought back to the LID store for a limited time!  So get them while you can!

A Batty Treat

A Batty Halloween Treat

With Halloween in just a few short months, I wanted to share a simple project I made using the Lil' Inker Designs Batty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle.  If you need a fun, little project that you can make for your child's class party or to hand out on Halloween, this is so fun to put together!  For this bat I wanted her to look a little more girly so I chose a patterned paper with pinks & purples in it too.

When you open the little girl up, you can hide a treat inside.  For this surprise I opted to go the non-candy route and put a little fox eraser inside.  You can find tiny erasers all over the place but I believe that this one came from the Target Dollar Spot.

And then underneath the eraser is a cute little message for the recipient.

And for a little more inspiration, here's a tag I made last year using this set also.

Have a great day creating!

You're the Best!

You're the Best!

I love the Best in You Stamp Set from Catherine Pooler Designs.  There are so many ways to use it!  For this stamp set I started by stamping a couple of the "flower" images as random circles in lots of happy ink colors: Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, Orange Twist, Fiesta Blue, It's a Girl, Tiara.  Then I used a cluster of dots stamps in the set and stamped them randomly in black ink.  I used the tiny circle dot to add a dab of green (Garden Party ink) to each cluster and stamped the dotted line border from the same set.  The sentiment is from the Naturally Inspired SOA box (previously released and available again in the store in a few months).

Double Points

Don't forget that you can get double points all week long at the Catherine Pooler Designs store in celebration of it's first birthday!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Bountiful Blessings

Bountiful Blessings

This month I've shared one of the new stamp sets from Frantic Stamper that I love but wanted to highlight another new stamp set that is equally as beautiful as well called Grateful Florals.  For this card I embossed the image with silver embossing powder and then die cut it with the coordinating Grateful Florals Outline dies.  I colored the flower, stem & leaves with copics.  

For the background I used the Grunge CrossHatch 6x6 stamp (rubber) with versamark ink to create a soft background.  I die cut the window with the Pinprick Squares Die set.  After lining up where I wanted everything to go, I stamped the "bountiful" from the clear Blessings Stamp Set.  I die cut the "Blessings" with the Elegant Blessings die set several times and adhered them together and then attached it to the edge of the window.

Thanks for stopping by today!
