Saying Goodbye to Flourishing Phrases

Hello & Happy Monday!

Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day!

Last I heard they were calling for rain but that never happened!!

The sun & warm temps were much needed and appreciated!

I made my way down to my stamp table after supper to work on a pack of sympathy cards for my card rack. I pulled out the soon to be retiring Flourishing Phrases bundle and got busy!

My intentions were to fussy cut those pretty Island Indigo flowers out but my hands were not having it so I diecut them out with a Circle Layering Framelit. The flourish was also diecut from the Flourish Thinlit Dies. This is one bundle I have not used too much over the last several years except for the sayings that are in the stamp set. It is a beautiful bundle!

The sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and my paper is from a retired pack called Blooms & Bliss.

Card Details:

Stamps: Flourishing Phrases, Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Island Indigo (retired), Sahara Sand

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Mint Macaron, Island Indigo (retired), Blooms & Bliss DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Flourish Thinlits, Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Mint Macaron Shimmer Ribbon, Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Dimensionals & Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love this pack of paper and hope to get the last of it used up over the next few weeks!

I am going to get back to creating some cards for my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together's in hopes that our social distancing will soon end. I really miss making cards with my friends!

Covered Notepads

Hello & Happy Sunday!

A cool and windy day is on tap here. Big change from yesterday!

Going to be a down day here. Yesterday we did alot, even got the AC's put back in for the big warm up that's to come this week. Kelsey & Shady are to come to visit this afternoon so Shady can play in the yard with Gigi & Bailee. 

Today I have 2 more covered notepads to share. 

These were made last week one day as I was trying to use up a few notepads I had lying around.

This notepad was made using many different things. Cardstock colors are Marina Mist & Soft Sky. The patterned paper is Crate Paper. The doily is Martha Stewart. Sentiment is one I picked up a

long time ago at AC Moore and there is no sticker on it. 

I really like the pretty colors of this one!

This notepad was made with Stampin Up's Tutti Fruitti DSP. The sentiment is from the Waterfront stamp set. The diecut leaf and piece under the sentiment are from the Flourish Thinlits. Lastly I added some clear rhinestones and a Real Red Taffeta bow.

I still have 2 more notepads on my shelf in my stamp room that I will fancy up soon!
