Fabulous Sayings

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

So sorry for the late update today....I am under the weather and trying to rest as much as possible. Yesterday I had a headache most of the day which ibuprofen did nothing for me. I even napped in the afternoon. We ran up to the restaurant for a quick supper. It was raining and just the dreariest day! Our neighbor up the street (Mr. Bob) came into the restaurant and sat with us. He goes into the restaurant every day and we have gotten to know him thru Kelsey. We had a good conversation with him, ate and then we headed home. I was back in bed by 7:30. Before I went to bed I filled up my humidifer and took some sinus medicine. I slept so long and today I am just taking it easy. Our weather is still rainy, foggy & so dreary! I will take the rain any day over snow though! So, Miss Bailee is hanging by my side while I sit on the loveseat typing this. She knows I am not feeling 100%. 

Today I am sharing cards with you that I made with January's Stampin Up! Product of the Month stamp set....Fabulous Sayings. It is loaded with some amazing sentiments and I felt it would be used quite a bit in my collection. I made a set of Happy Birthday cards with it and paired it with the Painterly Pears DSP from the Online Exclusives.

Card Details:

Stamps: Fabulous Sayings (Product of the Month January 2026)

Ink: Secret Sea

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Basic White, Secret Sea, Painterly Pears DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Forever Plaid EF, Eyelet 3D EF, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Mossy Meadow/Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Low Profile Sparkle Dots (Online Exclusives), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how these cards turned out! I put these aside in my bins for now! Not sure how long they will stick around though! Great colors & papers make for pretty cards!

December Birthdays

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

A dreary, rainy day is upon us so I am taking advantage of working on Audrey's card order.

I started it yesterday and already my hands are aching. 

Last month she requested a pack of birthday cards so I pulled out the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP and decided to give it some love. That paper is gorgeous! I ended up purchasing another pack. This is what I made for her...

Card Details:

Stamps: Simply Said

Ink: Secret Sea

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP

Accessories: Forever Plaid 3D EF, Holiday Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My sentiment was stamped onto a strip of cardstock and I just snipped the ends with scissors. Quick & easy and perfect for those December birthdays!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day (even if it is raining)!

Bee Mine Valentine's Day

 Happy Sunday, Friends!

It's Super Bowl Sunday, too! Who will be watching?

I like to watch to see the commercials.

Today I have a few cards to share with you that I made for Audrey's last card order. She wanted Valentine's Day cards for the 2 great granddaughters & 2 more cards for some little ones she knows. I made them all the same design but in different colors.

Card Details:

Stamps: Bee Mine, Unknown Alphabet Set

Ink: Petunia Pop, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black Archival (retired), Petal Pink, Real Red, Pool Party

Cardstock: Petunia Pop, Basic White, Meant to Bee DSP, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Cute As Can Bee DSP (2025 Scrapbook Catalog), Bee Mine DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Bee Builder Punch, Forever Plaid 3D EF, Happy Heart EF (retired), Bee Trinkets (retired), Tailored Tag Punch (retired), Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon (retired), Petunia Pop Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm thrilled that the Bee Mine set carried over this year and they even added a new bundle called Meant to Bee in the Stampin Up Scrapbook Catalog this year! That is where the Cute As Can Bee DSP comes from and I love the Petunia Pop color! It's so fresh & pretty!

Audrey loved them!

Christmas Stamp Day Card #2

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

My plan for today is to relax and catch my breath!

Last few weeks I feel like I have been going 100 mph and I can tell I have been stressed because my back is hurting along with my hands. Nothing a few days of taking it easy can't take care of. I still have some Christmas shopping to do so I may just get that done today, online!

Today I am sharing card #2 from my recent Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together with the girls. It was a day full of talking, laughing and of course, eating! Thanks girls for bringing the snacks! We munched on cheese & peanut butter crackers, Pringles Chips and Cupcakes! The girls probably did not think I would eat any of that after losing 83 pounds but this girl did indulge!! Hey, just because I am trying to better my health doesn't mean that I don't eat because I will say that I do not starve myself in anyway shape or form! LOL

Here is my most favorite card! Any guesses as to what it could be??

If you know me, you know I love anything gingerbread related!!

I told the girls that they could happily send this card to me for Christmas! LOL

Card Details:

Stamps: Humble Home, Snowy Wonder, More Than Autumn

Ink: Pecan Pie, Versamark, Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Pecan Pie, Basic White, Take A Bow DSP

Accessories: Forever Plaid 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, More Than Autumn Dies, Snowy Wonder Dies, Humble Home Builder Punch, Heat Gun, White Embossing Powder, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Red & White Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card I had all the embossing and diecutting done ahead of time so this one did not take long at all to put together. Sometimes I like to let the girls do the work themselves but if I want things to go along quickly I do the work for them. 

I hope you liked this card as much as I did and you will stop back again tomorrow for card #3!

Snow Globe Snowman Card

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope your weekend was nice!

Friday we had rain & snow and it was just downright cold & windy out!

We went out and ran some errands that morning which did not last long as I was chilled to the bone. Saturday I had a haircut appointment then finished up one last card kit for my Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together while Shawn cleaned up the garage. Sunday I stamped most of the day! Christmas treats are completed! YAY! Now waiting on Audrey's December card order which i'm sure I will be hearing from her soon!

Shawn is on vacation this week so today we are making a quick shopping trip to Sam's Club and I need to hit Hobby Lobby while we are out. Football is on tonight and for once we can stay up to watch!! YAY! 

Today I have a really cute card to share with you using the new Snowy Scenes bundle from the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog! I love that is makes a snow globe with all the dies and great embellishments! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Snowy Wonder

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Pool Party, Basic Black Archival (retired), Real Red Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Pool Party, Basic White, Snowy Scenes DSP

Accessories: Snowy Wonder Dies, Forever Plaid 3D EF, Snowy Wonder Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Pool Party Pom Pom Ribbon, Red & White Twine, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday I played with this bundle to create some Christmas treats!

It is so much fun! I will be using this to make Christmas cards for Audrey's great granddaughters! A cool shaker card would be neat, don't you think?

Next week I am going to start sharing my Christmas treats so stay tuned for that! So exciting!
