I saw this set from Concord & 9th and I fell head over heels in love!!! It's just so beautiful! I stamped out the "watercolor" part using three different colors of ink and then stamped and heat embossed the leaf part. I then die cut the "grateful" multiple times and stacked them to make it pop up a bit. I really love these fall-ish colors!

I think of all the cards I made this weekend (five in total), this one has to be my favorite. When I saw this adorable set, with the lovely flowers you could put in a tea cup, I just had to get it. I had so much fun coloring these images and putting them together. Makes for a sweet, simple card. Swoon!

I finally got my hands on one of these fun turnabout stamps from Concord & 9th! I opted for the Dahlia because it was just too pretty. I plan on making card sets with this stamp set for Christmas, if I have time. The color possibilities are endless! I stamped the image using MFT inks and embellished it with pink gems. I used the "friend" stamp from the turnabout set, but used the "hello" die from the Spellbinders die set.

Finally jumping on the MFT cross stitch craze! I love to cross stitch and learned to do it many years ago, but I'm new to doing it on paper and adding it to my cards. I'm hooked. The boys wanted to jump in on the action, too!
