Start Each Day with a Grateful Heart

I really try to do this every day.  In fact, I have this exact saying framed over my fireplace.  So when I saw this stamp, I knew I had to make a card for it.  All the details are listed below.



I really wanted a sunny, early morning look to this card and so chose this fun, bright, and colorful printed paper from the Create and Bloom Prints.  It paired perfectly with Limeade Splash cardstock which I used as the base card.  

I recently purchased the Fancy Frames Oval dies from Sunny Studios and decided to use them on this particular card to offset the sentiment.  I cut them out of Limeade Splash cardstock and  used all the pieces to create this pretty oval.  The sentiment was stamped on Whip Cream cardstock using black Licorice ink.  I then die cut the sentiment using the Cottage Cutz Stitched Oval Frame die set.  It was then adhered to the center of the green oval.

And, what better than a hot cup of coffee or tea to start your day, so I stamped the coffee cup image from the Coffee Helps stamp set twice on Whip Cream Cardstock once using Black Licorice and then another image in Limeade Splash ink.  I die cut the black stamped image using the coordinating die.  The green stamped image, I just fussy cut the green stripe out and adhered it to the black stamped cup.  The steam was then stamped in black licorice ink and fussy cut.  I adhered it to the top of the cup and glued the cup to the lower right side of the oval.  



As a final added touch, I added a piece of the printed paper to the envelope flap.  I love the added touch and how it really coordinates with the card!  This is a quick, simple card that can easily be mailed to that special person.

  1. Very pretty card, Jeanne! I try to follow that advice too in life. It is a conscious decision that we have to make constantly.
