It’s always exciting when Stampin’ Up! releases new paper crafting products! I can’t resist getting a few new stamps and such to play with. The newest Online Exclusive release is now live. And the Banner Sayings Bundle and the Lasting Linen Background stamp are included in this newest offering. Click here to see a PDF of the brand-new goodies. Or, click here to shop the online store.
I thought it would be fun to combine both sets and use them on one card! In addition, I feature the ever-popular Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. (This lovely folder comes in and out of stock, so let me know if you want me to watch the inventory list for you.)

I was just getting ready to transition from making fall-themed cards to getting ready for the Christmas holiday. But then, I took Stampin’ Up!’s first online class. (Which, by the way is still available. Get more information by clicking here.)
During this class, Stampin’ Up! designers and creators shared not only four handmade greeting cards, but also lots of helpful tips and tricks. One of the cards inspired today’s creation. I loved the layout and some of the tips and tricks, so I created my own version.
This thankful for you card definitely uses an awesome combination of Stampin’ Up! products, including: The Gathering Moments Stamp Set, the Traditional Labels Dies, and the Beautiful Motifs Dies.
