Monday Montage 26: Truly Grateful

        Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop.  You should have arrived here from the wonderful Cathy Casey's blog.  If not and I'm your first stop- no worries! Simply use the back/next buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate your way around the hop.

Tonight's project is a card featuring the Truly Grateful stamp set.  This set was originally released in last year's Holiday Mini Catalog and I'm so happy that it made it into the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog.  I LOVE this set!  I'm not a fan of fall (or fall weather) because I know that it means that winter is just around the corner and I much prefer sunshine and 80 degree days!  But- this set is sure does make for some beautiful fall cards!

I made a card very similar to tonight's project  last year but wanted to update it with a few changes.  My color scheme for tonight was Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon. I rounded opposite corners using the Project Life Corner Rounder punch.

My next project is a project that can be created in approximately 5 minutes or less.  I have received a few emails lately about projects that can be done with very little time.  This little treat box was created using the Fry Box Big Shot die, the Mini Banner punch and the Banner Banter stamp set.  Super simple and oh so cute!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'm not your last stop and that you'll click the next button to head on over to the fabulous Dara Gloden's blog.
