I used the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Wishes stamp set to create two clean and simple cards, one Christmas and one fall thank you.

My card designs were inspired by Inspire.Create.Challenges #098.

I started by adhering panels of Peaceful Place Specialty DSP and Blackberry Beauty DSP to the front of Basic Gray and Blackberry Bliss card bases with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the Christmas card, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Gray card stock, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I inked the tree image from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Basic Gray ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it across the panel.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of silver foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I added one of the silver dots from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials next to the sentiment to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in Basic Gray ink and then added the trees from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Basic Gray ink (stamped off once) on a Basic White card stock panel to finish the inside of the Christmas card.

For the thank you card, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in VersaMark Ink and then heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.  I added the flower image in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Beauty Of Tomorrow stamp set around the sentiment and adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Gold Shimmer Vellum and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I added one of the Gilded Gems next to the sentiment.

I added a strip of Blackberry Beauty DSP to the bottom of the Basic White card stock panel to finish the inside of the thank you card.
