July 4th Holiday!

 Happy July 4th, Friends!

Hope your celebrating today!

Our little town had it's fireworks display last evening. Ryan & I sat out on the front porch to watch like we do every year. Shawn came out with Bailee for a few minutes but the booms hurt her ears and she would bark each time a loud boom went off. They ended up watching from the front door. 

That was the view from the porch and thankfully it was a beautiful evening to sit out.

So, today I wanted to share the last of my July 4th cards with you.

The first one I'm not sure what the stamp is called but it was made by Stampendous. Someone stamped this image off and sent to me years ago. I decided to have some fun and colored it one afternoon then turned it into a card with some paper scraps from my stash.

Card Details:

Ink: Memento Black, Blueberry Bushel, Stampin Blends-Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, Basic White, American Crafts

My second card...

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

I've got a quick card to show you today that my card lady requested for a little boy that is turning 3. She said the little boy loves to go fishing with his Dad so she wanted something with fish...

These kind of cards usually throw me off a bit because I don't have much in kids stamps. Thankful I found the fish paper which was perfect for this card!

Card Details:

Stamps: A Grand Kid

Ink: Parakeet Party

Cardstock: Pool Party, Basic White, Parakeet Party, K&Company-Berry Sweet

Accessories: Dioroma Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Seabed 3D EF (retired), In Color Matte Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Audrey said it was perfect!

YAY!

That is all from me today!

I am having a Stamp Day on Saturday afternoon that I need to get ready for.

Thankfully the kits are all ready to go!

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Everyone!

Hope your weekend is going well!

I spent most of yesterday at my stamp table while Shawn watched tv.

He found this show on the Smithsonian Channel called Mighty Trains.

I think we did an all day binge of it! Neat show about trains from around the world!

I worked on some Halloween Treats and a few Christmas cards while we watched that.

Today the weather is much cooler and thankfully the humidity has gone down.

It was nice sleeping with the windows open last night and the AC is off!!

I got a cute card to share today that was requested by my card lady.

She wanted a cutesy card made for a little boy who was turning 2 that loves to go fishing with his Dad.

I looked high & low and found nothing in my Stampin Up stash for a little one.

Then I searched thru my "contraband" stash and found this cute paper from K&Company. 

It worked!

The blue paper has water bubbles on it and those adorable fish worked perfectly for this card!

I kept it simple and left the paper do all the work.

My sentiment comes from an old Papertreyink stamp set.

My card lady was really happy with this which I was happy about since it sorta stressed me out not being able to find anything. 
It did turn out rather cute!

Card Details:

Stamps: Papertreyink- Pond Life Sentiments

Ink: Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, K&Company -Berry Sweet

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I probably should make more of these kind of kids cards up for on my card rack.

They are good sellers if I have them made up ahead of time!

Heavenly Peace

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

The weather was absolutely beautiful, almost felt like a touch of Fall was in the air!

I have a feeling Fall will be early this year.....atleast I am hoping so!

Today I am sharing a set of Christmas cards that I made using old stuff from my stash.

I promised that I would continue sharing the old stuff!

This set uses stamps from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog from 2006 called Heavenly Peace. My paper is from a K&Company pack called Christmas Cheer.

As I was leafing thru this pack of 12 x 12 paper I found this particular sheet and I thought the colors reminded me of Pretty Peacock which is a 2019-2020 In Color.

As you can see it matched perfectly!

I love when that happens!

Card Details:

Stamps: Heavenly Peace (retired)

Ink: Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pretty Peacock, Whisper White, K&Company- Christmas Cheer

Accessories: Square Layering Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Pretty Peacock Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Always fun to pull out the old things and give them a new look!

Hope you enjoyed seeing these!

There will be more to come!

Happy Birthday Card Set

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Halfway thru the week! 

I have been getting some crafting time in this week since my hubby went back to work.

Yesterday I was rooting thru a bunch of old papers that are not Stampin Up.

I found this 12 X 12 pad of K&Company paper called Berry Sweet and it's filled with lots of bright summery colors & images. I always say, I need to use this stuff up and today I used a whole sheet of it to make this set of cards....

Take a look!

When I first spotted this sheet of paper I thought it had cherries on but come to find out it is apples & cherries. Had it been all cherries....I would have had the perfect sentiment for these cards! 

I also have to say that I matched this paper with a sheet of Lemon Lime Twist which is a new In Color for Stampin Up! It's very bright!

Happy Birthday Card Set:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, K&Company Berry Sweet 

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Corner Rounder Punch, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so much fun to whip up and happy to use up another sheet of patterned paper!

Only 2 million sheets to go! LOL
