Happy July 4th!

 Hello & Happy July 4th!

It's looking to maybe rain this afternoon which we could use!

Nothing much happening here today as Shawn is working and will have his holiday tomorrow.  Red Lion had their fireworks display last evening. Ryan & I watched from the front porch. They lasted maybe 25 minutes. Shawn & Bailee watched from the couch out the window and she did not bark this year. Usually the loud booms and she will bark. 

Today we are just going to do some burgers on the grill & fresh corn on the cob from a local farm stand. Can ya tell I am getting hungry! LOL

Here are the 2 different cards I made last week for July 4th. 

These are pretty straight forward. 

I picked up the patterned paper at Hobby Lobby. The stars are from the retired Stitched Stars Dies. I added a little clear Rhinestone to each star and popped it up with Dimensionals. I left the paper do all the work!

Enjoy your day!

Merriest Trees Set

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a set of holiday cards to share with you made using the Merriest Trees Bundle. This bundle came out last year in the 2023 Holiday Mini Catalog and has carried over into the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog which I am happy about! I paired it up with some carried over Winter Meadow DSP from last year as well. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Merriest Trees, More Wishes

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Versamark, Silver Embossing Powder

Cardstock: Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Silver Foil Paper, Winter Meadow DSP

Accessories: Merriest Trees Dies, Winter Snow EF (retired), Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, Stampin Seal

Since it is Christmas in July I am working ahead on making some holiday cards while I have the time. Plus it gives me a chance to use retired stuff before the rush of new holiday things come. I'm not sure how much I will get this year since I already love what I already have! Once we hit the Fall season I get overwhelmed with the 3 holidays right in a row and making some of these cards up ahead of time keeps me from getting too stressed out. I promise, all of July will not be holiday cards like I have done in previous years. Not sure my hands can handle that anymore!

Today Kelsey & Shady are coming over since tonight Red Lion puts on their fireworks display. We have a clear view from the front porch which is nice! I am making deviled eggs as per Ryan's request today! Yum!

Christmas in July!

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a pretty card to share that I made with the Golden Greenery Bundle that will be available starting tomorrow for customers from the Online Exclusives. This set reminds me of another set from a few years ago called Painted Christmas. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Golden Greenery (Online Exclusives), Greetings of the Season (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Old Olive, Basic White, Seasons of Green & Gold Specialty Paper (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Golden Greenery Dies (Online Exclusives), Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Gold Trim (Online Exclusives), Gold Swirls (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The greenery was diecut from the Seasons of Green & Gold Specialty Paper and the bells were fussy cut from the same paper.

This card reminds me of my mom. She collected bells for as long as I can remember. 

Many of them came from Avon.

My thoughts today...

I've been watching some of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel the last few days. Every Saturday night they have a new holiday movie on thru the month of July. That gives me something to look forward to during these hot, summer days!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
