Stamp Day w/ Friends Card #3

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I got all my swap cards done, addressed and into the mail! YAY!

Today I have card #3 from Thursday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together.

This one was made with the retired Peaceful Season stamps & dies and I paired it with the beautiful retired Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Season (retired)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP (retired Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Peaceful Season Dies, Golden Greenery Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Gold Metallic Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Low Profile Gold Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card was another favorite! 

The greens on my card were diecut from the Season of Green & Gold DSP and added with Dimensionals. The gold bow was added with a glue dot. I had all the diecutting done ahead of time so all the girls had to do was stamp and put their cards together. Easy, peasy!

Season's Greetings

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Hope your day is off to a great start!

Today is to be the hottest day of the week with temps in the upper 90's and high humidity. I'm praying for some rain and a nice cool down. We've not been out to walk since this heat started. I would love to get the bike out for a quick ride but that depends on the weather.

I'm going to head downstairs and do some cleaning this afternoon and once that is done I can get back to doing more creating!

I have another holiday card to share with you today and yes, I am back to using the new Online Exclusives stamp sets for this....it has quickly become my favorite!

Card Details:

Stamps: Greetings of the Season (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil Paper, Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Golden Greenery Dies (Online Exclusives), Tailored Tag Punch (retired), Gold Trim, Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

The DSP in this suite is so pretty and I find myself reaching for it all the time. I may end up having to order a 2nd pack of it but i'm going to wait until after the Holiday Mini Catalog comes out then decide.

Golden Greenery Christmas

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope your all staying cool! The heatwave continues! We had some sprinkles the last 2 days but nothing to really help the brown, crunchy grass. Shawn has been watering the garden every evening and the veggie plants are looking pretty good. The zucchini plants are producing like crazy and now it's time to get creative on what to make with them! 

Today I have a Christmas card to share made using the Golden Greenery suite from the Online Exclusives! I have been loving alot of the Online Exclusives offerings more so than what's in the annual catalog this year!

Card Details:

Stamps: Greetings of the Season (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Gold Foil Paper, Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper (Online Exclusives), Graceful Greenery Vellum (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Golden Greenery Dies (Online Exclusives), Gold Trim, Gold Sequins, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

I think this one is my favorite so far!

I'm not sure I will be ordering anything for Christmas when the new Holiday Mini Catalog comes out since I am loving this suite! 

The last week I have been working on a puzzle since I did not have any card orders and I wanted to give my hands a rest. I started the puzzle last Sunday and thought maybe all the pieces were not in the box since I bought the puzzle used at Goodwill. I quickly got frustrated with it and was going to just throw it away. Monday I did not touch it but Tuesday I made my way back to it and quickly realized I had pieces in places that they did not go. I was still frustrated with it and picked at it for the next 3 days. I was determined to finish it and prayed all the pieces were still there. Friday afternoon I completed it and felt a sigh of relief! LOL It is now packed up in a Ziplock bag and ready to be handed off to my friend Deb to do! She is the queen of Jigsaw Puzzles so she will probably fly thru putting it together!

That was the first puzzle I put together since last Christmas. I have 2 left in my rack downstairs to do. Maybe in about a month or so I will pull another one out. 

I will say as frustrated as I got with this one I was pleased with it once it was done.

Such a pretty scene and colors too!

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!
