My card today is for a special blog hop we're having over at STAMPlorations. The STAMPlorations girls and I have come together for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop.
We're sharing projects that express our gratitude.
If you are hopping along, you should be arriving from Darnell's blog
I used the new Oh, So Grateful Bundle for my cards today.
For this first one:
I inked the stencil, Delicate Leaves, on white CS and stamped the sentiment on top, then ran it through the Bigkick with Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies.Cut a tiny banner with the remainder of the sentiment on white CS and adhered it to the card front.

Second card:
I Played with a few different colors and the Delicate Leaves stencil on white CS. trimmed it up with the largest Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle die.
Stamped GRATEFUL repeatedly using the MISTI, moveing the CS up an in inch each time.
Next I cut the Word die GRATEFUL 5 times from white CS.Glued them offset to the card front.
Third Card:
Finally, I decided to do a bit of coloring on the pumpkin with Inktense Watercolor pencils. The coordinating die trimmed it out beautifully! I popped it up on a few Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle die panels. Ran a strip of Washi across it. Scribbled the same colors from the pumpkin on CS and cut the word GRATEFUL from that using the die.
