Day of Gratitude Stamp Set

The Stampin’ Up! (SU) Day of Gratitude Stamp Set is one of my favorite SU stamp sets for the Autumn.  And the beautiful Autumn Spice Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) that goes with the stamp set is one of my favorite SU DSP.  Although both are retired products, I decided to use them to create my gratitude gate fold card.

Day of Gratitude Stamp Set and SU Floral Frames Framelits

Isn’t the name of the DSP so appropriate for this time of the year?  What comes to your mind when you think, “Autumn Spice”?  I think of fall apples and the products that are made with them.  For example, spicy apple butter, spicy apple cider, apple pie, and other yummy products.  The “spice of autumn” brings to my mind leaves turning to beautiful colors, leaves falling from the trees, and children playing in piles of leaves.  OK, so much for that!!

Day of Gratitude Stamp SetI created the Day of Gratitude gate fold card by using the SU’s Floral Frames Framelits. In 2012, I first published the method for folding card stock and using SU framelits to create a gate fold card.  Click HERE and you’ll find a tutorial on using the SU framelits to create a gate fold card.

As you can see in the following picture, I added foam adhesive dots to the layers of the sentiment to give the card so dimensions.

DAY OF GRATITUDE STAMP SET GATE FOLD CARD

Stampin Up Day of Gratitude

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!. Stampin Up Day of Gratitude

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!

Stampin Up Day of Gratitude

This Stampin Up Day of Gratitude card is dedicated to my friends and family.  I am very grateful for each and everyone of you!

Stampin Up Day of Gratitude

This card features the Stampin’ Up! Day of Gratitude stamp set and Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (DSP). The DSP is so beautiful with many fall colors, and just the name of it, Spice Cake, makes me think, “Yummy”!

I made the card base from Whisper White card stock, which I scored in the form of an “X” with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Scoring Tool.  I then cut a piece of the DSP in the form of an “X” and adhered the pieces onto the card front with two front sides and two back sides of the DSP showing.

The card’s center piece is made of Pool Party card stock, the medallion stamp from the Stampin Up  Day of Gratitude stamp set, a More Mustard Spice Cake Designer Button, and an Antique Brad. I made the “Grateful For You!” greeting with My Digital Studio. I used More Mustard, Pool Party, and Lucky Limeade Stampin’ Write Markers (which you can buy individually) to color the medallion.
