Hello to all my Stampin’ Friends today,

The chill is on, on this first day of November… our high today should peak at around 47 degrees.  That may be warm for some of my followers.

My card share today is a warm “Thank You” created with the help of the “Sweater Weather” Designer Series paper.  If you click on the highlighted link … you can view the designer paper.  For those of you who follow daily, you know that I have used this designer paper quite a few times already.  Today’s actually has that “sweater” feel …

I chose the sweater pattern paper because the color “Tangerine Tango” adds such warmth to the card.  Using the designer papers really makes creating card so easy.  The color combinations are already there and the diversity of the patterns make it fun to work with.

Since banners are so “hot” right now, and they make for a quick and easy card, I have used them today.  The espresso piece also comes from the Sweater Weather designer paper, and of course our “Burlap Ribbon” makes quite a statement!  The combination of these two products really gives the card that rustic feel … and it adds great texture.

Since I was going for the more rustic look, I wanted to add an element to the card that would also give the appearance of securing my banners (can’t just have them flying around… we want that “manly” look).  So I chose the “Candy Dots” from the Neutrals Collection … I think they look like rivets!   They are adhesive backed so you can apply them directly to your project, or … you can used them with the coordinating Candy Dots Brad Bases (sold separately) to create your own 3/16″ colored brads!

Last but not least is our greeting… Thank You, which comes from the “Perfectly Penned” stamp set – don’t you just love it.  This was one of those stamp sets that when I opened the catalog … I just had to have.  I love the beautiful font, and have used it on so many different styles of cards.  I think it adds the perfect touch to finish off today’s card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share … stay warm, and thank you for stopping by!

Have a beautiful Friday,
