Thank You Card

 Hello & Happy Monday, Everyone!

Hope you had a nice weekend!

It was another very hot & humid weekend which is carrying over into the start of the new week. A little bit of relief is to come by the end of the week but by the looks of it, it's going to be short lived. Fall will get here eventually!

Today I have a card to share that I made for our dentist.

Her & her staff are always so friendly & caring each time we go in and they know how to put your mind at ease, especially if your uneasy about going to the dentist!

Card Details:

Stamps: Go To Greetings, Celebrating Sunflowers

Ink: Memento Black, Cinnamon Cider (retired), Stampin Blends-Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider (retired), Just Jade (retired)

Cardstock: Just Jade, Basic White, Flowers For Every Season DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Sunflowers Dies, Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon (retired), Brushed Brass Butterflies, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love this sunflower DSP and sadly it's been long retired.

I am working to use up scraps.

Paradise Palms Z Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week is going well.

It's been busy for me the last 2 days with the dentist on Monday and the Dermatologist on Tuesday. I sure hope I am done for awhile!

My Dermatologist gave me 2 thumbs up, refilled my meds, talked alittle about the Ravens (he's a football fanatic) and sent me on my way. He's one of the nicest doctors i've ever had!

My Psoriasis is not too bad at the moment but come cooler weather the plaques will start popping up everywhere. It's really odd how that works. 

Today I have the 3rd card to share that we made at my recent Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. This one was my favorite and super easy to make!

It uses the ever so lovely Paradise Palms stamp set.

Paradise Palms has the coordinating Palms Dies that I did not use on this card.

I was trying to keep it simple for the girls.

We colored the Palm Tree rubber stamp with Just Jade & Soft Suede Stampin Write Markers, huffed on it and stamped our images. That is probably one of the first techniques I learned when I started stamping and it was fun to show them how to do it, too!

Card Details:

Stamps: Paradise Palms

Ink: Just Jade (retired), Crumb Cake, Bumble Bee (retired), Soft Suede & Just Jade (retired) Stampin Write Markers 

Cardstock: Just Jade, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Artfully Composed DSP (retired)

Accessories: Scalloped Contour Dies, Stitched Rectangles Framelits, Just Jade Enamel Dots (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This set came out in the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and thankfully it carried over into the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog! It's a great set!

Friends Are Like Seashells

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

I survived my trip to the dentist yesterday and today I have a dermatologist appointment for my Psoriasis. I haven't said much about it recently only because it hasn't been too much of an issue. I think my ears and some of my scalp cleared up! 

I am itching now from mosquito bites. 

I'll be glad once it gets cooler and they die off!!

Today I have another card to share with you from my get together on Saturday!

I left the girl's know I had beach themed cards for them to do and I think they enjoyed making every single one!

This card uses the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set.

I'm so glad this is still current!

This suite of products came out in the 2021 January- June Mini Catalog and I was thrilled that it carried over into our new Annual Catalog this year. I have made several cards using this suite since it came out but wanted to try my hand at an Anniversary Card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Friends Are Like Seashells, Celebrating You

Ink: Seaside Spray (retired), So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Seaside Spray (retired), So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Sand & Sea DSP (retired)

It was so fun teaching them how to fold the DSP for this style of card.

They did a wonderful job! And loved the card, too!

Hello Sunshine Set

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Another hot & muggy weekend is upon us.

We've had a week of cooler temps and no humidity (which was fabulous!!). 

Do you have any fun plans?

Tomorrow I am having the girls over to make some cards which I am excited to share with them! We won't be getting together until after lunchtime since one of the girls already has a morning commitment. It's to be a hot one so whatever your doing....stay hydrated and stay cool!

Today I have a bunch of cards to share.

These cards were requested by my card lady after I sent her a card made using the Sunny Splash stamp set. I made a set for her since that is what she wanted and made them in different colors.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sunny Splash, Rays of Light

Such a cute stamp set which i'm so glad I ordered!

Special Anniversary Card

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I have a special card to share today that was made for Audrey's grandson.

He got married a year ago and she requested the 1st Anniversary card to match the wedding card. Sadly I could not find a picture of the wedding card and I don't think I ever posted it so I went off of the Bridal Shower card instead. 

Everything on this card is retired.

Can you guess the color of cardstock I used?

Card Details:

Stamps: Amazing You (SaleABRation 2018), Many Mates (retired)

Ink: Versamark, Bordering Blue (retired)

Cardstock: Bordering Blue (retired), Basic White

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), White Glittered Ribbon, Rhinestones, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She was pleased with it and that makes me happy!

Ombre Thank You Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Last week when my card lady called me she asked me if I could whip up a set of Thank You cards but nothing with flowers. So, I went thru some old paper packs and found this pack that was a SaleABRation offering in 2021. I've not used much of this paper so it's high time I did!

And it has no flowers!

Stamps: Ornate Thanks (retired)

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Basic White, Ombre DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Ornate Layers Dies (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend!

It was nice weather wise here but I busted my butt cleaning my downstairs and the storage room. Kelsey has a few totes down there that needed moved and of course it was time to do a clean out, too! I did a good cleaning of my stamp room/family room area and yesterday Shawn sold my tanning bed. YAY! He got that for me second hand about 3 years ago right after I was doing my light therapy for my Psoriasis. I am lucky I used it maybe 5 times in that first year and it has been sitting collecting dust ever since. Finally I told him to sell it. 

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share that were requested by Audrey in her last order.

I used some pretty Butterfly Kisses DSP for them!

Card Details:

Stamps: One Big Meaning (retired)

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Butterfly Kisses DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Fern 3D EF, Fresh Freesia Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

You know how much I love this DSP but I also love the Fern 3D Embossing Folder!

It adds a nice texture to any card!

Happy Engagement

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Yesterday we had some beautiful, cool weather! I wish we could bottle it up!

Sleeping last night was so nice with having the windows open but I will say it was a tad cool when I got up this morning but no complaints from me!

I am off for a haircut appointment this morning and grab a few groceries then I am going to venture downstairs to do a good cleaning this afternoon. 

Ham & green beans are in the crock pot for supper. Mr. Randy (our neighbor) gave us a big bag of string beans that I want to use up before they go bad.

Today I have a beautiful card to go along with our beautiful weather!

My card lady asked for an Engagement card in her order so I could not help but pull out the Butterfly Kisses DSP to create this.

Some of the flowers in the pack of DSP look like little hearts which I thought was perfect for an engagement!

Card Details:

Stamps: unknown sentiment

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Basic White, Butterfly Kisses DSP

Accessories: Painted Texture 3D EF, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, White Glittered Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
