Ferns & Gratitude for PP566

Happy Sunday, friends!

Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players! 

This week, the lovely Claire is hosting our Theme Challenge.

There are so many ways to interpret this “Give Thanks” theme. I am always in need of thank you cards, so that was my goal this week. I just purchased the Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Flourishing Dies which have been on my list for a LONG time. Since they were sitting on my desk, I decided to open them up for this challenge. I hope you can join us and play along this week! 

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.

Color Combo:

Soft Succulent

Evening Evergreen

Basic White

Gold Foil

This card also features the beautiful Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper coordinates with the new Eden’s Garden Bundle that will be releasing in the upcoming Stampin’ Up!® January-June Mini Catalog and it’s actually available to order right now. The stamps and dies in this collection will be in the new catalog, however the Ever Eden Specialty DSP, Ever Eden Cotton Paper and Garden Gems are only available while supplies last. You can get more info about the Eden’s Garden Collection HERE. 

I think this DSP also coordinates really well with the Forever Fern stamp set, don’t you? The paper has gold metallic detail on one side and a softer coordinating pattern on the other side. The mix of greens and gold is SO pretty! 

If you have stopped by to visit me before, I *might* have mentioned how much I love a good Sketch Challenge for creative inspiration. I was super-inspired by the awesome sketch from Jen M. over at Freshly Made Sketches this week and wanted to play along.

Finally, a peek inside the card! I added a strip of DSP and stamped some of the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set as an accent. I decided to forego a stamped sentiment to leave room for a handwritten thank you note. 

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project this fun "Give Thanks” Theme Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday November 12th, 2021.
