One of my favorite stamp sets is the Stampin Up Day of Gratitude. This week I will think about the many things for which I am grateful as it relates to Stampin’ Up!. 
As I was deciding what card to make for today, I thought how grateful I am for the SU My Digital Studio (MDS) that allows me to create cards and scrapbook pages with retired stamps, embellishments, and Designer Series Papers (DSP). I loved last year’s Autumn Spice DSP that was in the Holiday Mini Catalog, which has retired. However, I knew I had the Autumn Spice Digital Kit that would allow me to create a card with some of the DSP.
Therefore, I used two designs from the digital DSP to create the first layer on this Stampin Up Day of Gratittude card. Although I have the Autumn Spice Digital Kit that includes the sentiment that I used, I also have the Stampin Up Day of Gratitude stamp set. Therefore, I used the sentiment stamp from the Stampin Up Day of Gratitude stamp set for the sentiment.
I made the Cajun Craze mat behind the sentiment with a tag from the Lots of Tags Sizzlits Die Set and embossed it with clear embossing powder. The leaves, which are also embossed, are from the Leaves #2 Original Die (love this die). Can you see the heart that I formed with the stems of the two leaves? I thought that would be cool for a “Gratitude” card. The center of the heart is embellished with a Basic Rhinestone. Lastly, the ribbon across the front of the card is Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon which is no longer available.

For those of you in the U.S., I hope you are thinking about the things for which you are grateful this week!
God’s Blessings!
