Welcome stampers!

Thank for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme today is : Gratitude

I was torn between a Thanksgiving or Christmas card of gratitude. I went with Christmas –

A really sweet one for Christmas! I used the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Candy Canes Dies. After cutting two opposite candy canes, I placed them together to form a heart.

This beautiful background is the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. It is the perfect backdrop for this candy cane heart.

This wonderful sentiment is from a new stamp set called Framed Florets. I can see myself using it a lot!

I loved this card soo much, I decided to feature it at my class this weekend. Here is another sample using a different pattern of candy canes –
