Fancy Phrases HB

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

They always seem to go by so quickly, don't they?

A rainy day is on tap after a very warm sunny day yesterday!

I did a bunch of house work over the weekend and got my stamp room cleaned up  after my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together on Friday evening!

Today I am going to share card #2.

This one uses the retiring stamp set, Fancy Phrases.

Sadly, this stamp set is retiring today and I only just bought it a few months ago!

Everything on this card as a matter of fact is retiring....

The All Wired Up background stamp, the Playing w/ Patterns DSP, the Fancy Phrases stamp set, Purple Posy cardstock & ink and the Ovals Layering Framelits.

This card was Miss Emily's favorite card!

I used the Kitchen Table Stamper's Wonder Recipe for the DSP layout.

I love how it showcases the papers!

Card Details:

Stamps: Fancy Phrases, All Wired Up

Ink: Calypso Coral, Purple Posy, Crushed Curry

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Purple Posy, Crushed Curry, Basic White, Playing w/ Patterns DSP

Birthday Wishes

Hello & Happy Sunday!

I'm up early for a haircut appointment then grabbing a few groceries before heading home.

Sunday's is the day we spend in the kitchen cooking food for Gigi & Bailee.

Gigi was getting sick and her dog food was the culprit so since the beginning of January we've been making them homemade food. Those girls eat better than we do now! LOL

Boiled chicken, salmon and turkey burger along with pasta, brown rice and boiled potatoes and a variety of veggies. They especially love the green beans & sweet potatoes! 

Miss Gigi has not been sick once since we started making their food which is a good thing!

So today I have a set of cards to share using the retired Greenhouse Gala DSP.

I used 2 different sheets from that pack. 

 My cards start with a Daffodil Delight cardbase that I added a layer of Whisper White then a layer of the Greenhouse Gala DSP. Then I added a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock which I layered with another piece of DSP from the same pack. I wanted those pretty flowers to pop! I added the sentiment panel close to the top of the flower panel so I did not cover much of it. My sentiment is from the Fancy Phrases stamp set from the Stampin Up Annual Catalog which I stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink. I diecut the sentiment panel from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Lastly, I added 2 Rhinestones for some added sparkle and called them done!

Card Details:

Stamps: Fancy Phrases

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Greenhouse Gala DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I just love the bright, fresh papers on these!

Perfect for spring, don't ya think?
