Happy Friday, friends! Melissa is joining us today with a gorgeous “Melissa” creation, but before we get to her project, just a little heads up about some new products heading your way!
Next week we’ll be sharing sneak peeks, reveals, and projects for our latest collection called Handiwork! So many fun things I can’t wait to show you! We’ll kick off the fun on Monday, and the new collection will be available in the shop on Friday, July 28 at 10am EDT. 🙂
Now let’s check out Melissa’s gorgeous TGIF project…
It’s never too early or too late to practice gratitude, wouldn’t you say? In the heat of the summer, I’m craving a bit of cooler air, and my autumn craft supplies do the trick.
I’ve used the Jumbo Curiosity Buckeye Leaf die as my focal point, cutting it from cardboard and painting it a shabby white. I then added apple blossoms using the BotaniCuts Apple dies. My sentiment is from the Thankful Heart Stamp + Stencil, and cut with the matching die.
In the background, I’ve used the Print Shop Calico Stamp + Stencil layered over the Patchwork Die to add a little more pattern and texture behind my dotted paper panel.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

As I hit your site button I was saying “Save the date! Save the date!” And then when I saw “handiwork” it was a big “Oh Yeah!”
The card by Melissa was icing on the morning cake! Beautiful as always!
Absolutely gorgeous! Nobody layers like Melissa!
This is so beautiful, Melissa. I love how you whitewashed the leaf! Your layers are all so pretty and tie together so well.
Love how Melissa uses white paint and I somehow missed the pretty calico print shop stencil, so lovely together!
