Wow, it’s Wednesday, the day is coming to an end and I’m just now working on the post for today! The Labor Day weekend has thrown me off schedule (LOL). Today, I’m sharing the last of the August card class Nature’s Harvest cards. This card is sending healing thoughts. Notice the textured background? It’s created using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and included in the Harvest Meadow Suite. You’ll want to add this embossing folder to your “must have” list as it creates a beautiful textured backdrop. Below you’ll find the list of materials for recreating the Sending Healing Thoughts card and a video to assist with assembly.

Today’s Christmas in July project offers a sneak peek of the Christmas to Remember Bundle from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. You’ll be able to order products from the Mini Catalog starting August 3, 2021. (Yes, catalog date is July but due to product and global shipping delays, launch had to be delayed.) The Christmas to Remember bundle is just one of the offerings in the Painted Christmas Suite. This was one of the first bundles on my preorder list. With the array of holiday greetings in the stamp set, I have plenty of greetings for holiday cards. When combined with the coordinating Christmas Pinecone Dies as a background, beautiful holiday cards are easy to create. For my project, the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper creates the background for layering the die cuts.
