Merry and Bright

 Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you're having a great Thanksgiving so far and that you're able to spend the day with family and friends! We are going to travel to Pittsburgh to spend some time with my family that I haven't seen for a while! I can't wait!

Even though it's Thanksgiving, I have a super cute Christmas card to share with you today that features the "Santa's Helpers" die set by Sunny Studio Stamps!

Some of the die sets have extra goodies that are included (bonus!!), so I used those extra dies to create this Christmas card!

I die cut the sentiment from gold glittery paper and black card stock. I attached the black card stock behind the glittery paper to give it a shadow and to help make the sentiment stand out. Here is a close up on the sentiment:

I also cut the holly leaves and berries from some green and red patterned paper, and attached those around the sentiment. I added some enamel dots, some red patterned paper, and a big green ribbon to finish off the card!

Well thanks for stopping by, and I pray that you have a safe, and relaxing Thanksgiving! :)

60th Wedding Anniversary!

Hello! Today is my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary!! They definitely deserved a card because that is such a long time (don't worry - they're also getting a big party later this month). Here is the card that I made for them.



This was a lot of fun to make because I made the patterned paper by using strips of scrap paper. I've had those scraps forever and have been waiting for the right time to use them. I have also been looking for an opportunity to use my black ribbon. I usually stick to white ribbon, but the black looks better for this card.



This is a close up on the numbers. I cut the numbers out of the pattern paper and just let the white show through. I like it!

Well, thanks for stopping by! The weekend is almost here! Hurray!
