Good morning and happy Friday! It’s a momentous Friday, for sure. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that it’s been 25 years since the planes were flown into the Towers and the Pentagon and almost into the White House. As I’m sure is the case for many of you – I remember that day all too well.
Today’s card is a sympathy or encouragement card – and it spotlights the new Frosted Pinecones stamp set – with its wonderful masks! I pulled sentiments from the new Thinking of You stamp set – and put it all on Wood Grain Wonders DSP! Take a look-see:
I started by stamping the large Frosted Pinecones image in Mossy Meadow ink in the corner of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Wood Grain Wonders DSP – I used the Basic Beige colored paper.
Using the third-from-largest Everyday Arches die, I cut from the middle of the panel.
I adhered the outer portion of the panel to a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock.
Using some re-positionable adhesive, I secured the die cut to my work surface. Using the first three masks of the Frosted Pinecones set and a Small Blending Brush, I colored the pinecone with Pecan Pie ink (for all three masks).
Using the 4th mask, I lightly added Old Olive ink to the pine boughs. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the completed arch back in place on the card front.
I tied a bow from a double-length of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.
On another piece of the Basic Beige Wood Grain Wonders DSP, I stamped a Thinking of You sentiment in Early Espresso ink. Then I cut it out with the Three Banner Punch.
I adhered the sentiment over the bow with double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, I added some Mossy Meadow Natural Matte Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Thinking of You sentiment in Early Espresso ink on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock. Then I stamped the Frosted Pinecones image in the corner and colored it with the masks.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Basic Beige card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Frosted Pinecones image stamped and colored on the front…
…and more Wood Grain Wonders DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Frosted Pinecones – even without using the beautiful die set! – is a wonderful and beautiful set – perfect for cards for all kinds of occasions! Just change the sentiment – check the Thinking of You set (ALSO great even without ITS bundled die!) for some perfect sentiments to get YOUR message across in a pretty, woodsy way!
I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix 
Finn went to his doctor on Wednesday for his annual need-a-second-mortgage exam – you know…shots, heartworm tests, etc.
It’s not his fave – he likes Dr. Chris and the ladies in the office but…they have sticky things – and they like to get VERY personal on VERY short acquaintance.
If you know what I mean! 😉
So – he gets pretty warm! The cool floor is nice, though, so…he tried out SEVERAL spots!
By the door.
By me.
Then Dr. Chris came back with the listen-y thing – and he had to be helped to not pant…
He’s the bestest boy ever!
But – once all the listening and the squeezing and the STICKS….
Under the table seemed like the best idea!
HIS hard part was over…now…time for Mom to do the cha-CHING!!
I think he feels like I deserve it!! LOL
