Be Grateful for All Things

I try to l live my life in perpetual gratitude! I received a belated birthday present from my wonderful sister and upline, Katy McGloin. She knew how much I would love the stamp set, For All Things, and the coordinating DSP, Color Me Autumn, so she got them for me (as well as some other really sweet gifts) at convention. Boy, am I grateful!!

A center step card is always special for the holidays. You can use this stamp set for lots of occasions, don’t you think? This card started out by making the center step card base. I made the center image with the sentiments then framed it with coordinating colors to make it really eye-catching. The bow is the new Venetian Crochet Trim that I sponged in Cajun Craze, and added one of the new buttons from the Holiday Mini catalog, Gold Basic Metal buttons, with Linen Thread. From the DSP, leaves were fussy-cut and added to the various areas on the card, with them getting special attention sitting atop the Essentials Wooden Elements banners. Cajun Craze Candy Dots were added as a final touch.
