Well we’re definitely being jolly here today. Our father flew in from England last night and I have a 4 day long weekend. Very jolly. Sadly my brother will have to work on the weekend, but at least he gets a few days off. Here’s another of my cards using the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack – I can’t imagine how I missed this in the catalogue originally, it’s great for quick and easy cards.

Here I cut a piece of the paper and mounted it on cherry cobbler and then put that onto a crumb cake card base. I cut the 6″ by 6″ piece of DSP down to 3 3/4″ by 5″ so that it would leave enough to decorate the envelope flap! Then I used a scrap of crumb cake for my heat embossing – I stamped in versamark and then cherry cobbler to ensure that I got a really full emboss – if there’s any issues with the melting powder, the ink will hide that. You can do this with clear embossing powder but I couldn’t find mine and used the retired cherry cobbler. It gives the same effect though. (Mental note – buy more clear embossing powder so that my first pot will turn up!).  I then cut this out with the awesome stitched shapes framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals. Easy and really effective.

If you’re celebrating THanksgiving today, I hope you have a great day. If you don’t, it’s a good time to think about the things for which you’re thankful. I find it’s a large list.
