Feel So Blessed - September 2017 SOTM

September is going to be a banner month!  Let me start by showing you the Stamp of the Month.



This thankful card was created using the September Stamp of the Month - Feel So Blessed (S1709).


I was inspired by a pinterest card that was in the other orientation that had a strip running the length of the card with the saying to the right of the strip.  My card looks nothing like the inspiration.


How did I make my card?  Simple...
I stamped the border image from the set in Eggplant (Z2347) toward the top of the card base.  The adhered B&T paper is an Almond piece from our Basic Fundamental Papers (Z3353), which measures 1.5".  Then I stamped the border stamp below the B&T paper.

Next, using the Basic Circle Thin Cut (Z3318), I cut out a 2.5" Eggplant circle from the the Enchanted Fundamental Papers (Z3352).  I cut a 2" circle of White Daisy as well. "Thanks" was stamped on the White Daisy circle in Almond ink (Z2827).  On a scratch piece of paper, I stamped "for everything" in New England Ivy ink (Z2835).  The circles are adhered directly to the card front.  The banner, after being cut out, was raised with Thin 3D Foam (Z1151).

I didn't just want to add plain clear Sparkles (Z3274 (4mm) and Z1263 (2mm)), so I colored them with our Shin Han Markers; Green Sap (Z2463) and Lavender (Z2453).  I added those around the sayings.

Simple and fast!

Here, let me show you all of the stamped images within this set and you will see I barely used the set to it's potential!

















What will you create?!
