Good morning! Happy November to you! My card today was created for Papertrey Ink and uses the delightful Counting My Blessings stamp set and coordinating dies. I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed creating with this creative group of products.
The dies were made to fill in the blank when it comes to the many different sentiments that can be created using the stamp set. I stamped my sentiment above and below my die cut "thankful" using gold foil cardstock. What I love most about the Counting My Blessings products is that you can use them with all off your favorite stamp sets, new and old. I chose to pair mine with the Twig Wreath stamp set and dies.
After creating a focal point for my sentiment using the Mix & Mat: Snowflakes die and the Stencil Basics: Dots, I stamped a few images from the Twig Wreath. I then added my wreath, using Kraft cardstock and Cocoa Bean, and then came my large die cut word. To finish, I added stamped and die cut images from Twig Wreath and a few enamel dots, and achieved the fun, dimensional feel that I love. LOVE layers and that's another perk of Counting My Blessings!
More to see on the Papertrey Ink blog and supplies are listed for you below.
Enjoy your day!

Hi Melissa! I'm in LOVE with your card! And you gave me an enligh enment that I love, we CAN pair the larger word dies with our smaller sentiments. In this case, Count Your Blessings. But what a great idea! I really liked your stenciled dots too! While I'm here, I wanted to say that I'm sorry I missed your more recent posts. I'm in full swing with my Christmas cards, but I especially love your Flurries design. Have a blessed day, I'm very GRATEFUL for you. :)

As usual I love your cards. I just got some shabby green embossing enamel after seeing what you have done with it. So, it is my understanding that you just sprinkle a little on the paper and then heat it from underneath. Is that correct? Thanks.

This is so lovely. The setting for "grateful" is well designed. tfs
