I know I made it because I have it. However, I did not find where I posted a description of it. But while looking for it, my heart was blessed looking at all the cards I have made. I didn't realize I missed working on them as much until my trip down memory lane. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I came across cards Donna, my daughter, made and posted as well. Her son, Jacob, is a senior in high school this year so she is busy with a full time job and a teen. Need I say more. I miss our crafting time together.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no excuse for my lack of passion for my cardmaking except I got burned out. However, I've begun to make cards for new parents at church. I hope this sparks my creative juices to flowing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've missed the interaction with my crafting friends on my blog, too. I haven't posted in so long, they may have given up on me. I hope not. If you still get my posts, leave me a note and let me know.</span><br />

It has felt like Fall for the past few days. The nights are crisp and the days warm. It makes me start thinking of Thanksgiving and Fall festivals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In that frame of mind, I set about creating this card from a Graciellie Design image called Bountiful Season. This image belongs to a digital stamp bundle calleld <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/558895783/15-off-thankful-words-digital-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_2">Thankful Words</a>. It is on sale in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/558895783/15-off-thankful-words-digital-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_2">Gracie's Etsy Store</a> for 15% off. The bundle contains 4 lovely stamp sets. See below.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Card Supplies:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4.25 X 5.5" card base</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Image/Sentiment - Bountiful Season</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Orange Foil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Border Embossing Folder from Anna Griffin Summer/Fall Folders</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Copics</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cardstock from my stash</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yellow Seed Beads</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I did was foil the image and sentiment with the orange foil. That didn't present with enough color so I colored the image with Copics. Coloring over the foil with Copics did not alter the foil. After embossing the edge of the purple cardstock, I assembled the card as you see it. The last step was to apply the seed beads to the glue I had applied in the center of the flower.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Unity's recent release of some of Gracie's designs has been a success. See Gracie's rubber stamps <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/?s=Graciellie&post_type=product">here</a>. I chose "<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/sweet-tea-kitty/">Sweet Tea Kitty</a>" for this card. This little kitten is so adorable.

Unity Stamps and Graciellie Design have teamed together to bring you some new rubber stamps. Here is a <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/product-category/stamps-catorgorized-by-artist/graciellie-designs-independent-artist/">link the new releases</a>. There are some beautiful images and they're all on sale. I had the privilege to work with a couple of them. This is my first creation. Tune back in on the 16th for another cute design.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">This lovely image is called "<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/amazing-things/">Amazing Things</a>", colored with Copics. The background paper is from a 6X6" paper pack by DCWV called In Stitches. I crisscrossed some yarn around it before adding the image. I think this would make a lovely encouragement card. Here is a closeup of the image.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Did I mention that this is a blog hop. Oh yeah. There will be prizes announced on October 16th. You will want to leave a comment on every design team members blog to increase your chances of winning. What is the prize, you say. There will be 3 prize packages from Unity Stamps that include 3 stamp sets. How generous is that?

<span style="font-size: large;">I printed the images on a laser printer, then foiled them with gold foil. I colored the flowers with Copic Alcohol markers. Alco</span><span style="font-size: large;">hol markers don't affect the foil. It shines right through.</span><br />

When he was born I knew nothing about taking care of a baby, much less raising him to be an incredible man. However, with the help of the Lord, through all my mistakes, he has become a good Christian man. He's hardworking (too hard working, if you ask me), a faithful companion to my lovely daughter-in-law, and a good father to his two sons. I'm afraid I don't get to see them as much as I would like but we live 5 hours apart. Can you tell? I am very proud of him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the card I made him. It is a simple card made with an Anna Griffin card topper, but it was made with love. I love you, Brian, and am so glad the Lord gave you to me and your Dad.</span><br />

My heart goes out to those affected by this terrible storm. The temperatures certainly cooled a lot and it felt like Fall. I'm not sure if I'm ready for weather that cool just yet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This week at Crafty Cardmakers our theme is Autumn. So I pulled out some fall colored cardstock and came up with this card.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Card Supplies:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Harvest Blessings - this is a Cricut Design Space file. I cut it from 2 different rust colored pieces of cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anna Griffin Summer/Fall embossing folders - The 6" square card base was embossed with one of the folders and the matching border folder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stickles - gold was applied to the "Blessings"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I like how this turned out. The hardest part was getting the two layers away from the cardstock without tearing them up.</span></div>

Gracie has released some new images and we got to play with them. You are in for a treat. I chose "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GraciellieDesign">The Vine" </a>for my card. There are two images and five lovely sentiments with this stamp.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the second image from the set. I colored it with Copics and cut it out with this sentiment die.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2nRHhHigKp4/WbgRikf7HDI/AAAAAAAAGgA/MMEUF42yeSY9i4HYCtPZVqIA47rhHvXGACEwYBhgL/s1600/DSCN2100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="640" height="237" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2nRHhHigKp4/WbgRikf7HDI/AAAAAAAAGgA/MMEUF42yeSY9i4HYCtPZVqIA47rhHvXGACEwYBhgL/s320/DSCN2100.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the inside of my card. The sentiment die created a ridge around the cutout so I outlined it with a marker. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The theme for this week is "Monochromatic". I know a lot of us automatically think of black and white or various shades of brown when we think monochromatic. I thought of going against my natural inclinations with pink. This is my card and I like how it turned out. I admit I struggled with it a bit..........</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At first I laid out the flowers on the the pink background with no embossing. No matter how I laid them out, it just didn't look right. Then I found this Sizzix embossing folder I had never used. It seems to lead your eyes to the flowers. I then added a bow and gems to complete the card along with a Happy Birthday greeting. The flowers were made using Anna Griffin 3D Flower Dies.</span></div>

There are several new mandalas, deer and kidsart. They are all fun images. I chose Mandala #1 for my card. I started out coloring it in, then decided to be a little radical and do something totally different. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had a Minc machine for a year or more and never played with it much. Lately, I've been giving it a go. I decided to print my Mandala image with my laser printer. Then I ran it through the Minc with gold foil paper. I decided the negative image left on the gold foil would be pretty on some toner paper so I ran it back through the Minc machine. Here is the result.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I4kvs8fuTIs/WaX9TTUim9I/AAAAAAAAGeI/DVeuWOv_Yl492CVNytbxH2gVUE-06T7DwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSCN2073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="469" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I4kvs8fuTIs/WaX9TTUim9I/AAAAAAAAGeI/DVeuWOv_Yl492CVNytbxH2gVUE-06T7DwCLcBGAs/s400/DSCN2073.JPG" width="292" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I placed the Mandala images on some gold and black paper, added some sequins and added a sentiment. What do you think? I also added a sentiment to the inside with a foiled rose.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

However, today we are featuring some stamp set bundles that will be on sale for 30% off through the 14th of September. You don't need a code for this discount, however on the 15th the bundles will go back to a regular price. These are beautiful images, as you will see later in my post. First, I want to shar</span><span style="font-size: large;">e the image I picked for my card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">The image I chose is Strong and Courageous from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/521088200/30-off-sale-bold-florals-digital-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_3">Bold Florals Bundle.</a> It is a layered rose image. I printed and colored 2 of them with Copics. I then added glitter accents to the leaves. The background paper is from a 6X6 Best of Anna Griffin Paper Pad. I placed my hand colored images over the flowers in the paper. The sentiment is from the same image set. </span><br />

The theme for our challenge is "Under the Sea or At the Beach". I couldn't think of a more appropriate image than this one. This image is a product of a <a href="http://www.kitandclowder.com/create-and-learn">Kit and Clowder monthly coloring class</a>. It is a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/279623478/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_48">Conie Fong image</a>. These classes are so much fun and you learn so much. </span><br />

The roses on this card is a free svg file from <a href="https://digital-gems.net/">Digital Gems</a>. I cut the file out of toner paper and ran it through my Minc with red foil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">
The background is silver glitter paper, although the photo doesn't do it justice. I added some red gems & silver bow. Now to just add a sentiment and it's ready to go.</div>

I have been playing with some of it this week and I made this card. I really like it and it was easy to make.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The gold foil design is actually the negative of an original design I used. I'll be sharing the original another day since I messed it up. After I ran the original through the Minc machine, this pattern was left and I just placed it on a sheet of toner paper and ran it through the Minc. I don't think this picture shows the true beauty of the gold. I had to maneuver the camera around because I kept seeing my reflection in the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for your visit today. I hope you like my card. More later.</span><br />

I imported the paper with the magnolias on it into my Cricut Design Space and removed the background until I only had the magnolias. Then I cut out 3 layers.

The theme this month is Anything Goes with the twist Summer. We are in the throws of summer here in the South. I know some of you are having winter where you are so maybe our fun cards will warm you up a bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Card Supplies:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5.5" Square card base</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Background - I used chalk to create the background</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Images - I used 2 DS4J images for this card, <a href="http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1401">Beach Umbrella</a> and <a href="http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_41&products_id=1980">Misteri - Where's Summer </a>(pre-colored)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beach Umbrella was colored with Copics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment was a freebie from another company. I uploaded it into Photoshop Elements (which I know very little about) and worked with it until I got the words colored.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm so happy you came by for a visit today. I hope you will go over to the <a href="http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/">DS4J Blog</a> and see all the fabulous cards the design team made.</span><br />

Margy and JenLee have some new digistamps to show you. Some are black & white so you can color them with whatever medium you choose. Some are pre-colored if you prefer those. Either way, there are plenty of cute images to choose from. One of them is called "My Insect Garden" drawn by Margaret Keiser, our fearless leader. It contains quite a few separate files like flowers, insects and toadstools. I took 3 of the flower files, a grass file and a bee file to create my card.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Card Details:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A2 Card Base</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All the lovely papers I used were from the<a href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1404"> Paper Temptress Magnolia Dreams Variety Pack</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Background Paper: I used Paper Temptress <a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=774">Amethyst Mica/Metallic paper</a>. It has a beautiful sheen to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Die cut background - This pattern is one of Gracielle Design die cuts designed to go with these new releases. The paper used for this is another Paper Temptress product, <a href="http://papertemptress.com/productlist.php?keywords=Vintage+Silver+Lustre">Vintage Silver Lustre</a>. This paper has a gorgeous swirl pattern. This photo really doesn't show it's beauty.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Image - Happy Greetings by Graciellie Design. I chose the tulip with the leaves, removed the background to make it a png file, then duplicated it. I flipped one of them horizontally, then put them together to make a bouquet. I, then, printed it on <a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753">PT's Cryogen White #89 paper</a>. This is one of the best papers for coloring with alcohol markers. I</span><span style="font-size: large;">mage is colored with Copics. I then attached it to a paper doily with adhesive squares and glued the doily to my background.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bow - made from <a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=964">Gold Opulence Ribbon</a> from Paper Temptress. It adds a touch of elegance to this card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Butterfly - a foiled Anna Griffin embellishment</span><br />
