Rustic Crate

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Can you believe it's the last day of November? This year has flown by so quickly!

Today I have a set of cards to share with you that I made with a new bundle called Rustic Crate. This bundle is available in the 2023 Holiday Mini Catalog. I also made a box to place this set in and wrapped a belly band around it to hold it shut.

Card Details:

Stamps: Rustic Crate, More Wishes

Ink: Memento Black, Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Stampin Blends- Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Traditions of St. Nick DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Kraft Gift Boxes (retired), Rustic Crate Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, Gold Cord, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Kraft Gift Box is retired as they were recently on the Clearance Rack.

The DSP is from the Online Exclusives.

I enjoyed making this set of cards but it was alot of coloring which I had to stop every so often to give my hands a break. The only thing popped up with Dimensionals on these cards are the poinsettia's. So pretty!

North Pole Delivery

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am off to a very late start on getting a post done.

I have been so busy the last week or so and I think exhaustion has set in. I did not get up until 9 this morning which is VERY unusual for me. I ache from head to feet and my hands are swelled. Not sure what's going on with that but i'm hoping it gets better as the day goes on. Audrey called me yesterday with her Christmas card order so I hope to get started on them this afternoon IF my hands want to cooperate. 

It seems this year Rudolph wanted to make an appearance so the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set jumped on to my stamp table and we made a card with him! This was one of my favorite sets from a few years ago. It is loaded with the cutest stamps and sayings to go with them. The saying on this card came from the retired Perfectly Plaid set. 

Everything on this card came from my stack of retired products which I think is always fun to pull out and breath new life into them again!

Card Details:

Stamps: Cookie Cutter Christmas (retired), Perfectly Plaid (retired)

Ink: Early Espresso, Real Red, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Heartwarming Hugs DSP (retired)

Accessories: Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (retired), Winter Snow EF (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Pine Tree Punch (retired), Red Tinsel Ribbon (retired), Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Rudolph is such a cutie and definitely steals the show on this card!

I will have more retired Christmas cards to share in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

Tis the Season

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today is going to be a down day for me. 

I feel like I have been going 100 mph the last few days but the decorating is all done!

Shawn helped with carrying the ceramic Christmas trees up from the storage room which was a huge help. He said last night that everything looked so nice. 

Now we can sit back and enjoy all that hard work.

I have a pretty Christmas card to share with you that I made recently using 2 retired sets.

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Season (retired), Christmas to Remember (retired)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand (retired)

Cardstock: Real Red, Sahara Sand, Basic White, Peaceful Prints DSP (retired)

Accessories: Seasonal Labels Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Gold Swirls (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used the Peaceful Prints DSP that was a SaleABRation offering a few years ago. I pulled out some scraps from my pack to create this card. This paper is some of the prettiest and I have alot of it to use up!

Frosted Gingerbread Snowflakes

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's been a busy couple of days here at the Aungst Pad.

I spent most of the day Friday decorating the upstairs then once he got in from work we ran Kelsey & Shady home and did a quick trip to Walmart. Surprising it was not too crowded. We slept in this morning and plan to get the rest of the ceramic Christmas trees out for the living room. I will be glad when it's done and we can sit back & enjoy the lights!

Today I have a quick card to share that I made with the retired Frosted Gingerbread bundle from a few years ago. Y'all know how much I love my gingerbread decorations so this set spoke to me and I hardly used it. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Frosted Gingerbread

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Old Olive, Basic White, Gingerbread & Peppermints DSP (retired)

Accessories: Gingerbread Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Real Red Sheer Ribbon (retired), Red Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have about 3/4 of a package of this Gingerbread & Peppermints DSP left that is still laying out on my stamp table. I am hoping to use more of it this holiday season! I love the traditional holiday colors & patterns in it. And those pretty snowflakes were diecut from the paper which makes a card come together much quicker! 

Well, that is all I have for today! 

Going to grab my coffee & some breakfast and get started on digging all those pretty ceramic Christmas trees out! I will share pictures soon!

Season's Greetings

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today is the start of the holiday season as it is Black Friday!

I have not been one to go out shopping on Black Friday since my kids were little. 

Instead, I will be decorating the house for Christmas since Shawn has to work all day. We had our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday then decorated the outside. Kelsey & Shady have been here since Wednesday afternoon and we will take them home this evening as she has to work tomorrow. How are you spending your Black Friday?

Since today is the start of the holiday season I have a pretty set of holiday cards to share with you. I used 2 new sets called Joy of Noel and Christmas Classics to create these. 

Such a pretty collection of stamps, dies & papers!

Card Details:

Stamps: Joy of Noel, Christmas Classics

I love that this paper is mostly the traditional Christmas colors of red & green and both stamp sets have nice sentiments included as well. Perfect addition to anyone's stamp collection!

November Treats

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I am sharing a treat I made for my Thanksgiving table. I had maybe 10 packs of Reese's Pieces leftover from Trick or Treat Night so I decided to use them in the M&M cello bags. I made 9 and gave some away. I then stamped off those pretty leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set with Pumpkin Pie ink. I pulled out a retired Thanksgiving saying from the Pleasant Pheasants set and stamped my sentiment directly on the leaf before I diecut the leaves out. They turned out pretty nice!

I tied my leaves onto the cello bags with some retired Crushed Curry twine and added a Gold Gilded Gems to each one. Once I had them finished I put them in this Rae Dunn football mug that we found over the summer at Home Goods. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Autumn Leaves (Million Dollar Achiever Set), Pleasant Pheasants (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Basic White

Accessories: Autumn Leaves Dies, Hand Held Hole Punch (retired), Crushed Curry Twine (retired), Gold Gilded Gems (retired)

Yesterday was the 1st time I got to sit and use a few of my new stamp sets that I have had since August and it felt great to play with them! I pulled out the Beary Cute set which I did play with not too long ago. I have a Stamp A Stack to do using this bundle that I purchased from Kitchen Table Stamper. I hope to do those cards maybe in about 2 weeks! Anyways, here is the card I made yesterday...

Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

It's Thanksgiving week so that means it will be a busy week preparing.

Today I am going to my stamp table for some me time. Yesterday I worked on a few candy treats and I am almost finished with them! Next up will be some Christmas cards for Audrey.

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share that I made last week for Audrey.

I used more of the All About Autumn DSP for these...

Card Details:

Stamps: Circle Sayings (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, All About Autumn DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I left the paper do all the work on these as that paper is the prettiest!

Most of the trees have dropped their leaves around here with a few here & there that still have some leaves on them and those trees still have some pretty colors on them which reminded me of this paper. I hope Audrey liked them!
