Hi friends! Happy weekend! Today I'm popping in to share a couple of cards with the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October Stamp of the Month: Grateful Heart.
For my first card, I went for a traditional Thanksgiving card using the cornucopia image from the set. I remember in 2nd grade making a "stained glass" cornucopia project with aluminum foil, saran wrap, and markers. Ever since then I get delighted every time I see a cornucopia, so I had to start with this image!
For this next card, I strayed just a bit from traditional colors, adding in a bit of aqua. I love all the aqua and sage fall decor I've been seeing, so colored this fall bouquet with an aqua flower and bow. The background for the card is a sage patterned paper that I stenciled with a ledger stencil then used distress inks to shade the edges. I added a bit of patterned paper for interest and some lace trim. Each of my focal circles is matted with a vellum scallop circle. I love the soft look to it.
Since Grateful Heart is our stamp of the month, it's available for purchase right now. Or you can get it for free with a $75 order (after discounts and before shipping) in the month of October. Don't miss the rest of the October release, coming on Monday, October 7!

Glorious autumnal cards Julee - loving the cornucopia and how you have coloured it... you are right, the vellum underlay on the circle die cuts on the second card are a delightful accent - subtle but stunning
