Thankful, Grateful, Blessed ... Another Card

Here's another card, a completely different version, using some of the same stamps as with my previous post.  In that post, I used a die cut flower and the entire card was done with shades of Cajun Craze.  Today's card is all about Soft Suede.  

This card also features a fun, unique fold which is super easy to create.  After scoring your card in half, score the front side of the card again, right down the center.  Fold (on the score line) to fold the front piece back onto the front of the card.

I added some texture by using sponging and linen thread.

I added a DSP strip and stamping on the inside piece of the card, to completely coordinate with the front of the card.

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed Card

This is a good time of year to really focus on all our many blessings.  I especially am thankful for a sweet, little baby that I get to hang with every day and who ended his super busy afternoon of play by falling asleep in my arms ... about 15 minutes before his mom came to take him home.  There's nothing better than holding a sweet little baby boy in your arms and watching him fall asleep. 

This is a simple, yet elegant card.

I love this die cut flower!  I cut it from Cajun Craze and then sponged the edges to give it even more texture.  I love this gorgeous paper, too.

Our Next Scraps and Prayers Project

I just can't wait to share today's post with you.  This is our next project for my Scraps and Prayers class.  I just love it.   

I'm having a lot of trouble believing it's now November.  Even though I've been working like crazy on Christmas projects for over a week now, my phone says it's supposed to be a high of 80 today --- in Illinois!  I will say though, I do LOVE it!!!

I tried to get all the shimmer from the beautiful poinsettia, but it's difficult to capture it in a photo. 

I glued double layers of CS for each layer of the poinsettia, so it would still hold its shape when I added on lots of shimmer.

I love how this project turned out!
