Festive Friday Challenge #142 - World Gratitude Day / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday Challenge #142 - World Gratitude Day

Friday 1 September 2023

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #142 - World Gratitude Day

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

For my card this week, I used ribbon, thank you and die cuts. I created this card on my Tuesday Sketch Challenge. Join me each week at 2pm Pacific on Facebook or YouTube for a new sketch!

Here's the sketch I used.

I love it when you can combine different products from the Stampin' Up! Catalogue. I used the All About Autumn Suite along with the Seasons of Cheer Stampset and Deckled Circle Dies. Love how it turned out, don't you!
