Mountains Of Thanks

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a thank you card I made for one of my husband's colleagues. She loves mountain adventures so I thought a card featuring Catherine Pooler's Mountain Of Thanks stamps and dies would be a perfect fit :) I'm also linking this up to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - "Anything Goes."

I used a strip of Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock (Lawn Fawn) to ground the mountains and also die-cut the clouds from this same sparkly goodness!

I hope she likes it!!!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!!!

CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge 397

Hey there, crafty friends! I'm back again today to share my third post as the November 2020 Guest Designer for CAS Colours and Sketches :)

This time around we have a gorgeous colour combo for you:

 

I'm in full-on holiday mode here at the Petrella homestead which means...bring on the snowflakes!!!

I absolutely love snowflakes in all shapes, sizes and colours (And I actually love them in real life too...ha! Snowshoeing and skiing are two of my favorite activities!) 

I die-cut the sentiment from silver glitter cardstock and it sparkles like crazy in person :)
 

I hope you like my card for today and feel inspired to give this colour challenge a try :)

Thanks for stopping by!!!

You're On My Mind

 

The inspiration for the current "CASE the Designer" challenge over at Global Design Project is absolutely fabulous and features a fun (new-to-me) technique of creating a textured background panel with die-cuts. This technique does take a bit of work, but the results (in my opinion) are totally worth it :)

Here's my card:

I really love the look of the white on white that DT member, Emma, used on her card, so I also chose to go that route. I die-cut 10 of the outline leaves and adhered them with liquid glue in a pattern onto my cardstock panel. I added a stitched die-cut frame on top, stamped my sentiment strip, backed it with a kraft strip and added it to the card following Kayla's layout. To finish, I die-cut one more outline and one of the solid leaves from white cardstock and inked them up with Carved Pumpkin and Barn Door Distress Oxide Inks (Ranger). I like the pop of color against the neutrals :)

 

I thought about adding some twine or embellishments, but decided against it. In May I sent my grandma a box of assorted cards for her own personal use. She's 89, and she's always loved sending cards, but because of the pandemic she hasn't been able to get out to shop. Well, I spoke with her last Friday and she's used up all of the cards I sent her in May :) So, I'm in the process of making more for her. That being said, the cards I give her need to be relatively flat so they don't require any extra postage or special mailing. I hope she loves this one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!!!
