Regal Flora

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!!

Today I am sharing some cards I made over the summer months with a retired bundle from the 2024 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog called Regal Flora. This set was a favorite of mine and I still enjoy pulling it out & inking it up! Even though this set was in the Holiday Catalog it's not really holiday related. Regal Winter is the name of the DSP that was in this suite of products and that gives me winter feels but again not holiday related. I have 3 cards to show you. The first one was for a wedding that Audrey requested and the second one was for my stash and the third one is another wedding card for Audrey that she asked for yesterday. She wanted it to be the same design as the first...

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam

Wedding Day Card

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Our weather today is to get into the low 80's! Looking forward to a bit of warm weather for a change! Shawn is headed out fishing with his friend today. Seems like he has been waiting forever for a nice warm Saturday to go! I am gonna do a bit of dusting then possibly head down to do some crafting. I noticed yesterday that my tulips in the front flower bed opened. Beautiful red tulips! So pretty!

Last weekend I spent some time at my stamp table and I was going thru a box of images/diecuts that people had sent me over the years. I found a pretty flower diecut and a few Top Note diecuts and some stamped off images. I thought that they would make a pretty card. So, here is what I whipped up...

Card Details:

Stamps: Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Baja Breeze (retired)

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White (retired), Parisian Breeze DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Top Note Die (retired), Unknown Flower Diecut, Rhinestones, Sheer White/Silver Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It turned out really nice all thanks to my image/diecut box!

Only thing I had to cut was the card base and the bottom layer of DSP. 

Everything else was already done.

Another card for on the card rack, WooHoo!

Ben's Wedding Card

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have another card to share that was part of Audrey's card order that was delivered to her last week. This one is for her youngest grandson who is getting married in May. If you remember I made the bridal shower card almost like the shower invite. Here is the link if you want to see. Bridal Shower Card 

She sent me the wedding invite and it was the same as the bridal shower so this is the wedding card I made for it...

I used the same stamp sets with a bit of a different layout. I did not take a picture of the wedding invite this time but we laid the wedding card on top of the wedding invite and it all fell together so nicely! Audrey just loved it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Occasional Quotes (retired), Forever Fern (retired), First Frost (retired), Watercolor Garden (retired)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic Gray

Cardstock: Basic White, Highland Heather, Silver Foil Paper

Accessories: Frosted Bouquet Framelits, White & Silver Sheer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots,  Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is her last grandchild to get married but I have made bridal shower & wedding cards for each of her 5 grandchildren in the last 10 years and I feel like I know most of her family anymore. She is so beautifully blessed to have the family dynamics that she has! 

Well, yesterday I managed to get my house cleaned. It took all the umph I could muster up to get it done. Today I said I was going to do the downstairs. Granted, it's not that bad down there since it hardly gets used. This will be on my agenda this afternoon. I have been struggling a little bit with low energy since started the 5mg of Mounjaro. Thankfully that is my only side effect at this time as I know it could be worse. My blood glucose & blood pressure have been really good so the medicine is doing it's job. If you've seen the news (which I do not waste my time on anymore) there is a huge shortage for this injectable medicine. I'm fortunate that my insurance now wants a 90 day supply filled so I am good until the end of June. Hopefully these shortages end by that time!

So, with that said....I am off to get my day started and get the downstairs cleaned! LOL Oh, and Ryan requested Taco Tuesday's for supper! Quick & easy!

Thankfully we don't do Taco Tuesday's every week! LOL

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Audrey's Granddaughter's Wedding TODAY!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

I started yesterday taking down my Christmas decorations. 

The kitchen is done and maybe today I will work on my living room. 

Shawn will have to help with putting away the ceramic trees so that is why I said maybe today. He has his first physical therapy appointment early this morning so we'll see how much energy he has left! LOL

The card I am sharing today is a real beauty!

I was summoned by Audrey to create a wedding card for her granddaughter, Sara, whom is getting married today! I will share with you the wedding invitation first. I used a post it note over the information on it as I don't want to share that.

Then I created the card and laid it on top of the invitation...

I showed this to Shawn and he said how it matched the invitation!

Then I laid it out for Audrey to see....she was ecstatic!

And here is the card without the invitation...

Everything on this card is retired!!!

Card Details:

Stamps: First Frost (retired), Forever Fern (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Mossy Meadow, Sahara Sand (retired), Versamark

Cardstock: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Basic White, Copper Foil Paper

Accessories: Forever Flourishing Dies (retired), Frosted Bouquet Framelits (retired), Copper Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Burgundy Ribbon (retired), Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was so pleased with it and so was Audrey!

I will be anxious to hear from her this week to see how the wedding was.

I'm glad we are in for a nice but chilly day!

Sketch Challenge 498

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Phew, it's a scorcher here in PA today!

I could hardly stand it to be outside while letting Gigi & Bailee out to potty this morning. They did not seem to mind it but I was a puddle and hurried them to go back into the ac!

So, then I checked out the Sketch Challenge over at SCS and just loved the layout!

After seeing the one sample card was made for Christmas, my mind went right in that direction, too!

 Here is the sketch & my sample:

Since I was sweating outside in the 90+ degree heat & high humidity, I went with something cool, Snowflakes!

This stamped image was in my box as was the sentiment & inside saying. I know my main image is a bit smaller than the sketch panel but I used it anyway and i'm really liking my card!

Sketch Challenge 498 Card:

Stamps: Nature's Secret (retired), Occasional Quotes (sentiment inside & out)

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP

Accessories: Snow Burst EF, Circle Punches, Small Snowflake Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Liquid Multi Mono Adhesive

Hope you like!

Well that's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
