I did the tic tac toe in two directions, straight down the middle and across the bottom. I considered doing the whole board, but couldn’t figure out how to make a mother’s day and father’s day card in one. 🙂 I used my favorite returning embossing folder- Painted Posies and paired it with new colors and new ribbon.

Here’s an easy accordion card made with the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I made an easy card because it’s such a busy week. Like many of you we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week and I’m hosting about 20 people for dinner. We have my son, Sean, and his amazing bride, Amy, from Texas staying with us for ten days which is always super fun. Our second son, Ryan, is getting married this week to his beautiful bride, Bree. We are so excited for them and blessed to have Bree joining our family! We are also hosting an Open House for the new couple at our home. After we’ve had all the fun we can think of we’ll rest next week. 🙂

After I took all the pictures of this card, I realized it would look better with some bling. I think three Festive Pearls was what this card needed. Do you ever make a card better the second time or add things you didn’t think about at first? The card above has the bling and the card below is missing the Festive Pearls.

I love the new Fitting Florets Collection that’s available starting today! The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is gorgeous and will only be available until Jan 4, 2023. The Framed Florets dies have beautiful oval dies which are amazing! If I had to guess, I believe these dies will make it into another catalog. The Framed Florets stamp set has a beautiful font. What do you like about this new collection? Please leave me a comment and let me know.
