Festive HB Card Set

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

A rainy, dreary morning here but it's to be a warm day with temps around 60.

I hope soon we can get some sunshine and keep it for more than 2 days!

Anyone have any fun plans for today?

Shawn & I are going to take a trip to a local antique store before football starts this afternoon.

I'm going to throw chili in the crock pot for a quick supper later.

Maybe squeeze in some stamp time!

Before my day gets away from me I want to show you another pack of cards I made for that big order I have been working on all week. My customer likes her birthday cards to kinda coordinate with the seasons so I have made this pack more on the festive side. 

I really LOVE this pack!

My paper is Joyous Noel which is no longer available. 

SU should have known how wildly popular this paper would be and made millions of it!

It's gorgeous! Lots of different prints and with the pops of Copper Foil in it.

I added a wreath to this from the Wishing You Well set from the Holiday Mini.

This stamp set is another of those Distinktive sets which I have come to REALLY love!

I added a bow from the Tea Room Suite. This ribbon is white with copper in it. It goes nicely with this DSP!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Wishing You Well, Cake Soiree (sentiment)

Ink: Tranquil Tide

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Whisper White, Copper Foil Paper, Joyous Noel Specialty DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Tea Room Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So pretty and perfect for a December birthday!

I still have one more pack for her December birthdays.

I'll tackle that this coming week!

Unicorn Happy Birthday

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I went downstairs today to stamp today and totally forgot to update the blog!

Ughh the horror! LOL

I do have a very cute birthday card to share that I made for my customer.

She wanted a card made for a little girl who loves unicorns!

I looked high & low for a unicorn stamp and found nothing in my stash.

Then as I was getting ready to whip up some Christmas treats, I had an order from Ellen Hutson and I found in my package a cute little Thank You from her and low & behold it was a unicorn!

I cut the Thank You off the bottom of it and used it for this card.

Take a look....

I tried my best to match up the colors to what was already colored on that beautiful unicorn.

I took the Circle Layering Framelits and cut out circles in those colors then cut it in half to create my rainbow. Then added a piece of Umbre Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon which I tied on with a piece of White Baker's Twine. My customer was SO THRILLED with this card. She had also purchase a pair of Unicorn Slippers for the little girl which match perfectly!

Card Details:

Stamps: Cake Soiree (sentiment), Essentials by Ellen Hutson (Unicorn)

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Lemon Lime Twist, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum, Balmy Blue

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Corner Rounder, Lemon Lime Twist Umbre Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, Sweet Sugarplum Enamel Heart, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A very cute card for a little girl and I hope it brought a smile on her special day!

It was a fun day!

Last week I had a call from my customer who had a special request for a couple of Candy Bar Wrappers for a special get together she will be attending next Saturday with some of her closest friends. She did not have any colors & paper in mind and left it all up to me.

This is what I chose for her treats....

These are always fun to create!

Painted Harvest For You

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I am going to try to get some housework accomplished.

Shawn is back to work so I need to get this place straightened up!

It is also back to being humid again. Blah! But, thankfully it is not to last.

My ac is on low just so I don't sweat too much! Haha!

Yesterday we ran to Ryan's doctor office to pick up some antacids that he wants him to try.

 He kindly gave him a 30 day supply and as I was checking them out I saw on top of the box....Made in Japan! What is up with that?!!

Yesterday he slept until 3:30 in the afternoon. Well over 12 hours but I knew he needed it!

He took his first pill before he ate supper. So far so good!

So, today I have a card to share that we made at the last girls stamp get together. 

Y'all know how much I love that Painted Harvest stamp set!

I was so pleased with this card and how beautiful the inside is as well!

I usually forget to stamp on the inside other than the sentiment but I have been trying to do this more. Do you pretty up the insides of your cards?

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Harvest, Cake Soiree (sentiments inside & out)

Ink: Crushed Curry, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Early Espresso DSP

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

I'm sure this won't be the last Painted Harvest card you will see!

I really LOVE this set!

My thoughts today.....

Everyday!

That's all for me!

Off to get my coffee fix and get the day started.

Yesterday & today we are under a heat advisory. Temps are to soar close to 100 degrees.

While I am not a fan of the heat & humidity, I am happy for the sunshine!

Today I have a quick card to share using the Cake Soiree stamp set.

This set also uses the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit that was available in the now retired Occasions Mini Catalog.

The embellishment kit has alot of little things to add to the card. Some punch out images which can making a card go very quickly! There is velvet ribbon, tassles, washi tape and small clothes pins. On my card today I just added a punched out image with 2 Dimensionals.

Stamps: Cake Soiree

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP (retired)
