Grateful

Hello crafty friends!! Please join me for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. This week the challenge is

Thanks/Thanksgiving

We are showcasing the fabulous Hero Arts Products this week. If you have any of these products, we’d love to see them used, but it’s certainly not a requirement to join the challenge.

As always, the generous folks at Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $25 voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store. You can enter 5 times which means you can make 5 different projects following this week’s prompt and have 5 chances to win a shopping spree!! Sounds like a win/win to me!! I’ve linked all of the supplies that I used at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Oh, what fun I had making this card. I started out with a piece of Burnt Orange Card Stock and I hot foiled the Fall Leaves Hot Foil Plate by Hero Arts and Gold Glimmer Foil. It turned out so beautifully!! I set that aside and started working on my sentiment. I used the Grateful Words Fancy Dies also by Hero Arts and I cut the word Grateful out three times using Ivory Card Stock. For the shadow part of the die I used Dark Chocolate Card Stock.

For my sub sentiment I used an old Simon stamp set that’s unfortunately no longer available but it was called Thankful Heart. I reversed the colors for the sub sentiment. I stamped it in Dark Chocolate Ink on Ivory Card Stock. I popped the sub sentiment up a touch using 3-D Foam Squares.

I used one of the fine frames from the Fine Frames Cover Dies by Altenew to frame in my top panel using Tonic’s Honey Gold Mirror Gold Satin Card Stock. I popped my top panel up using Craft Foam and used more of that Dark Chocolate Card Stock to frame in my top panel. Before I attached my card front to the dark chocolate frame, I used some Burlap Twine and wrapped it around my front panel a few times and attached a few acorns from an old card kit from Simon. Then I tied a bow and attached it using a tiny adhesive dot called Bling Zots.

Then I attached my card front to the dark chocolate and ivory frames. I used a side folding ivory card base to match the rest of the ivory and my card was complete!

So now it’s YOUR turn. Happy Crafting!!
