Give Thanks Again and Again

Hello, and thanks for stopping by today.  This card I'm sharing today is one that you may recognize because I've created this card before for Stamp Simply.  I liked how it turned out so much that I used the same suppplies as the first time around, and I recreated it using almost exactly the same things.  The only differences are one of the patterned papers is different, and I also added some embellishments this time.

This card started with black cardstock and the beautiful patterned papers found in the Carta Bella Welcome Autumn 6x6 Pad following a card layout inspired by my talented teammate, Esther.  I just LOVE these papers and wanted to show you how easy it is to make a pretty card using them.  The stamped sentiment is found in the new Falling Leaves Stamp Set.

One fun thing I did for this card that I didn't do last time I made this card was to create a matching envelope.  To do so, I simply attached another one of the journalling cards found in the Carta Bella Welcome Autumn 6x6 Pad.  Making a matching envelope is quick and easy and it makes card-giving extra fun.

Below are the challenges where I'll be sharing my card and matching envelope.  I hope that you are having a blessed and creative week.  Thanks again for visiting me.  I appreciate it so much.
