Now this is my kind of card! I just adore the simplicity of it but at the same time it carries a big WOW! This is the "thank-you" or should I say bonus card that I will send to the stampers of the October Stamp of the Month Club!

The stamp set is the Ornamental Pine and it has endless possibilities! I think that this sentimnet is so classic – just love the font and the detail in the ornament is beatiful.

Please click here to see the post that I shared on the October 1st and I am super happy to offer this type of program to you….WHY??? I know that we sometimes struggle with ideas and we frustrate ourselves with what to create…my goal is to make you be a confident stamper and be very fulfilled.

Let's get to this beauty! The reason that I did not put this in as a "Club Card" for the members to copy is…I simply cannot assume that everyone has a heat tool and embossing powder….so it is my goal to share with you a beautiful card and to inspire you to see the beauty of this technique!

This card has been heat embossed! First you use the Versa Mark…the Clear Embossing Power….next is the heat tool – and then….

This technique of heat embossing is magical each and every time…for those of you that "know what I mean" – there is just something so special and fun to see the embossing come to life!

I took the Stamp Kit over to my dear friend and down-line Jeanie…and she could not believe the effect that using the clear embossing powder gives! It truly is a fun technique to use and I think that this stamp set s PERFECT for simplicity!

I try to add a special touch for the Stamp of the Month Club members and I knew that this beautiful  snowflake embellishment would be perfect!

I first threaded the linen thread through the snowflake and tied a simple bow. Next, a longer piece of linen thread and made a larger simple bow and then using glue dots….easy-peasy! I looked at it and thought it needed just something special….a pearl!

It wouldn't be a card of mine without a decorated envelope! Today's paper is from the Trim the Trees paper stack….a fabulous collection of papers! I am soooo happy that Stampin' Up! continues to offer these gems!

That's it…and I hope that you have enjoyed this post!

I invite you to go to the offering of the Stamp of the Month Club and consider this opportunity! I know that you are going to love it and you really have nothing to lose…if you already have this stamp set….no worries – just let me know a substitute and I will be happy to get your kit to you!

Enjoy this day and I hope to see you tomorrow!

Please remember that the cut off for the October Stamp of the Month offering is only until October 10th! Please email me and put in the subject line October Stamp of the Month! Stampin' hugs!
