We Create November Blog Hop Gratitude & Gatherings

Welcome to the We Create November Blog Hop as we celebrate Gratititude & Gatherings. Here in the U.S. we celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of November and it's the perfect time to send out cards to the people we love to let them know how much we appreciate them. Our Design Team is excited to share their projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects to send to the people you care about. 

One of my favorite new Fall themed bundles would have to be the Autumn Expressions Bundle. I love the beautiful sentiments with their elegant fonts and the images are perfect for creating gorgeous Fall cards for a variety of occasions. Today I paired this bundle with one of the designs from the Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to add some wonderful texture to the background. The Gold Foil die cuts help step up the design and coordinate perfectly with the Gold embossing. This is a beautiful card to send at this time of year to let people know how much you appreciate them in your life.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 39 - Soft Sea Foam

Happy Friday everyone. It's time to share Week 39 of the Monochromatic Color Challenge with Soft Sea Foam as our featured color. This beautiful soft green from the Subtles Collection works so well for a variety of occasions throughout the year and I am excited to share my card design with you all.

For today's card design, I chose to use the Inspiration Sketches stamp set and paired it with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder to add subtle texture. I love the organic feel of this clean and simple card design. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create the circles and sentiment label for this card.

This lovely clean and simple card design is a wonderful combination of stamping and embossing. I embossed the two Soft Sea Foam cardstock circles with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and then used a Blending Brush to add a touch of Soft Sea Foam Classic ink to help bring out the definition to the embossed design. I stamped the focal design using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink onto the large Basic White circle and I love the detail in this beautiful image. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto the sentiment label to add a touch of elegance to the design. To complete the card design, I added several Iridescent Pearls that I colored with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker to coordinate with the rest of the card design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help encourage you to explore using this pretty soft green in your next project. Soft Sea Foam is such a versatile color and works well no matter the season or the occasion. There are so many wonderful options to explore.
