Relax and Enjoy the Day

Morning, friends!  It's Jinny here to share a card inspired by the colors of fall.

I LOVE the look of stamped images on patterned paper, so that's where I began with this creation.

Throw in a couple other patterns, lots more stamping, and a trio of textural elements, not to mention a hint of glitter, and that "RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR DAY" sentiment gets this card ready for a number of different occasions, which makes it the perfect addition to my stash.

Those little envelopes also make a great spot for a gift card for the intended recipient.

Thanks so much for stopping by, y'all!  Have a truly blessed weekend!

Welcome TCM Friends!

It's Sharri with you today to share a card using a couple of the new stamp sets, Choose Hope and Folk Art Blooms. 

I tried to go with a CAS but as you can see I ended up adding a few layers ;)

The sentiment and butterflies are from the Choose Hope set. I wanted to add a flight pattern for the butterflies so I pulled out one of the little flourishes from Folk Art Blooms.

I finished off the card with a bow made from crinkled seam binding ribbon and topped it off with a button.

Here is a closer look at the stamps I used today -
