Grateful

Simon Says Stamp | STAMPtember® Release
09/18/2025

Hi there!

Fall colors, bold leaves, and a heartfelt sentiment—what more could you want in a seasonal card? 🍂The STAMPtember® release from Simon Says Stamp is always a highlight of the crafty year, and this “Grateful” design was such a joy to bring to life. I love how the rich tones of autumn pop against the fresh aqua background.

Design Highlights 🍁

  • 🎨 Copic-colored leaves – Each die-cut leaf is brought to life with Copic markers for depth, blending, and those vibrant seasonal hues.
  • ✨ Dimensional sentiment – The bold “Grateful” sentiment is also shaded with Copic markers, adding richness and dimension that makes it stand out.
  • 🌿 Playful arrangement – Tucking leaves around the arched panel creates balance and a natural flow, almost like they’re swirling in a gentle breeze.
  • 💎 Subtle sparkle – A few delicate gems add just the right touch of shine without overpowering the design.

This card is all about gratitude, color, and the joy of autumn. Sometimes the simplest word—“Grateful”—says it all.

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
