Anniversary Card

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing an Anniversary card made for my card lady.

She requested this for a couple she goes to church with and asked for pumpkins on it.

I dug out my Harvest Hello's stamp set and got to work!

My cardbase has a Copper Dotted Treat Bag on it that I trimmed down to fit.

The bag came from my upline's upline with gifts in for hitting some goals with Stampin Up.

I never bought the pack of bags when they were available but recently my upline sent them to me as a gift for promoting! I love them and have some things in mind to use them for at Christmas time! 

Thank you, Vicki!!

Anyways, I then started to build my card once I had the bag glued down.

Plaid Tidings DSP has soooo many different prints & colors in it and I went with this one for Fall.

My pumpkins were stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and punched out with the Apple Builder Punch. I layered them on my Stitched So Sweetly Whisper White panel and added the stem and a Copper Cord bow. The Copper Cord is retired and I am still hoarding what's left! It's not much either!

My sentiment was stamped with the Many Mates stamped set with Rich Razzleberry ink and diecut with the Circle Layering Framelits. Then Layered on a scalloped piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and popped up with a dimensionals. 

Lastly, I added some Copper Rhinestones from my stash.

Card Details:

Stamps: Harvest Hello's, Many Mates

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Copper Dotted Treat Bags (retired), Copper Foil Paper, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Plaid Tidings DSP

Accessories: Apple Builder Punch, Circle Layering Framelits, Copper Cord (retired), Copper Rhinestones, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal +

I was so happy with this and hoped my card lady would be too!

Happy to report she loved it!!!

Thank You Notecards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Can you believe that today is the last Monday of September?

Goodness, the days & months are flying by! 

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

I got so much accomplished!

My card order is completed, the Halloween treats are done and everything was delivered!

The grocery shopping & laundry are both done!

Tonight is football night with our Baltimore Ravens and we are looking forward to watching!

I have a set of Notecards & Envelopes to share today that I made for that card order.

I used the Very Vanilla ones and added a strip of the Guilded Autumn Specialty DSP to it.

That paper is beautiful!

I'm sorry for the dark pictures. 

We've not had any sunshine for the last few days and getting a good picture was impossible.

I flag punched the end of the DSP with the Triple Banner Punch.

The diecut that my sentiment is stamped on it from the Tasteful Label Dies which I seem to reach for quite often! The sentiment is from the retired Thoughtful Branches stamp set.

My little Cajun Craze leaf that is tucked behind the sentiment panel is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set. So sad that it retired this past year.

Card Details:

Stamps: Thoughtful Branches (retired), Colorful Seasons (retired)

Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze

Cardstock: Very Vanilla Notecards & Envelopes, Very Vanilla, Guilded Autumn Specialty DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Labels Dies, Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Triple Banner Punch, Cahun Craze Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love using a mix of old & new products on my cards!

It's funny, I just read a post on Facebook yesterday that a woman said the very same thing!

I have SO much stuff in my stamp collection and it feels good to pull out the older stuff and breathe new life into it and I try to do this this as much as I can!

Halloween Hershey Kisses

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Hope your weekend is going well!

Yesterday Shawn did get the garden & flower beds cleaned out while I got my Halloween treats all finished! YAY! It rained off & on all day with fog most of the day. This morning the fog is heavy!

I am off for a haircut this morning then grocery shopping.

No football today as our Ravens play tomorrow night.

I am sharing a Halloween treat today that I whipped up yesterday!

I found these Monster Hershey Kisses at my local Giant store so I grabbed them.

I was going to make a variety bag of candy and decorate them but decided to just go with using these adorable kisses by themselves!

I had in my stash of cello bags some old ones that Stampin Up use to carry measuring 3x5.

I threw a handful of kisses in them and decorated them using the Celebration Labels & Dies and the Banner Year stamp set! The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I think these are one of my favorites candy treats I made so far!

Project Details:

Stamps: Banner Year, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Granny Apple Green DSP (retired)

Accessories: Celebration Labels Dies, Tasteful Label Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots (retired), Halloween Night Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm hoping today to get these treats delivered!

I made sure to buy all candies that were individually wrapped with the Covid thing this year.

My hands are now ready for a nice rest then I will finish working on Thanksgiving treats!

Yep, I already started them! It gets crazy sometimes working on multiple holidays at one time!

A day in the life of a crafter!

Thinking of You

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

We woke up to rain this morning!

We really needed it as we've not had much in the last 2 weeks.

That might throw a monkey wrench into Shawn's day since he was going to clean out his garden & flower beds. I am going to head to my stamp room to finish up Halloween Treats and get my card lady's order packaged up!

Today I am sharing a set of cards made for my card lady.

She wanted a pack of Thinking of You in Fall colors & leaves and I hope I accomplished that with this set!

Everything on these cards is retired except for the Woven Heirlooms sentiment.

I love everything about Stampin Up except the fact that nothing sticks around very long from year to year! The Magnificent Maple stamp came out a few years ago but it has always been a favorite of mine! I try to use it as much as I can! Just look at how nice it stamps!

I also paired up my retired leaf with retired Sweater Weather DSP.

I do have quite a bit of this pack left so I will use it as needed.

Card Details:

Stamps: Magnificent Maple (retired), Woven Heirlooms

Ink: Tangerine Tango (retired), Sahara Sand

Cardstock: Tangerine Tango (retired), Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Sweater Weather DSP (retired)

Accessories: Champagne Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

You all know me well enough by now to know that I love mixing old & new products together for a great card! I'm sure my card lady will love these!

Halloween Little Treat Boxes

 Good Morning & Happy Friday!

I've been working hard on getting a card order completed this week as well as Halloween Treats to sell.

My card lady & her friends have asked for Halloween treats this year which I was surprised about but they give treats to big & small and everyone loves them! I did not make a lot like I usually do but I did try to keep things to prepackaged candies except for the M&M Sticks that were requested.

Speaking of Halloween Treats I have another yummy treat holder using the Little Treat Box Dies!

This die has got to be the easiest box to put together and it does not require a lot of candy to fill it!

The Little Treats Bundle will not disappoint! 

It is loaded with awesome sentiments, images and diecuts which covers many occasions.

I've used this bundle quite a bit since I got it!

These treat boxes have a Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin in each that fit nicely.

Project Details:

Stamps: Little Treats

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Plaid Tidings DSP

Accessories: Little Treat Box Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Did you notice that Metallic Mesh Ribbon on my boxes?

It is pretty awesome! So soft and very easy to use!

Reminds me of a spider web!

Happy Halloween Card Set

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

It was a busy day here on Saturday with running errands and getting things around the house winterized.

Shawn took out the air conditioners and packed them away for the winter.

Sunday was football day! 

I made a roast with carrots, onions & potatoes in the crock pot and we watched football all day! 

It was a cool weekend which was much welcomed!

This morning our temp is 32 degrees! Burrr

I have a set of Halloween cards to share with you today!

It uses the Cat Punch and lots of retired products!

This set of cards will go to my card lady for Halloween.

She does not like anything scary so I kept these bright & happy!

3D Challenge w/ Vicki Day!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today is the day that my friend, Vicki & I share our projects for the 3D Challenge.

Every other Saturday we share something other than a card.

Last time you may remember I shared the Sunflower Ghiradelli Chocolate in the Little Treat Boxes.

They were so fun!

But this week I have another fun treat to share!!

This one is for Halloween! 

Take a look...

One evening we were grocery shopping at our local store and I spotted these Witch's Brew Kit Kats!

I grab 2 bags and thought I could design something around them or the colors!

Isn't it funny how a crafter's mind thinks?! LOL

So, I looked thru my box of cello bags & acetate boxes.

I found a pack of the 3 1/8 X 3 1/8 Acetate Boxes that Stampin Up! now carries to package the little 3X3 cards in. It was a light bulb moment when I realized I could fit the fun & colorful Kit Kats in them!

I matched up my witch with the witch in the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set and being that we do not have any pretty Halloween papers I pulled out the Brights pack of DSP and decided to use the Granny Apple Green polka dots. I diecut a Granny Apple Green Scalloped Square then a Granny Apple Green DSP Square and adhered it to the Acetate Box with 2 Sided Tape.

Next I cut a label from the Tasteful Labels Dies in Pumpkin Pie and layered that on my Granny Apple Green base. 

Next I stamped the witch in Gorgeous Grape and added the sentiment in Granny Apple Green right under it. I diecut them out with the largest circle from the Layering Circle Framelits. I then layered that on a Gorgeous Grape Scalloped Circle and adhered it with Dimensionals,

Lastly, I had to bling it up with some Rhinestones & the beautiful Black Glittered Ribbon bow!

Each box contains 4 Witch's Brew Kit Kats which are pretty yummy!

Project Details:

Stamps: Ghoulish Goodies

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Granny Apple Green DSP

Accessories: Square & Circle Layering Framelits, Tasteful Labels Dies, 3 1/8 X 3 1/8 Acetate Boxes, Black Glittered Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I ended up making 8 of these for Halloween!

I love them....hope you do too!

So, now it's time to head over to Vicki's blog to check out her 3D project this week!

It's A Stamp Thing

I know it's going to be fabulous...just like her!
