Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Today I have another set of apple cards to share!

My card lady is on a roll with apple cards since it is apple picking season around here. I pulled out a retired stamp set called Tart & Tangy and got to work.

First I went thru my papers and found scraps of this pretty paper from October Afternoon. I'm not sure when this was available but it was a long time ago.

I started with a Real Red cardbase then a layer of Very Vanilla that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. Next I added a 1 x 5 piece of retired Old Olive DSP then my cute apple paper. I had enough to make this set of cards with a few pieces left. I tried to make it work with what I had left. 

Then I stamped my apple image using Real Red & Old Olive Stampin Write Markers. They were diecut with Very Vanilla Circle Layering Framelits then matted with an Old Olive Scalloped Circle. My sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso and diecut with the Seasonal Layers Dies. Lastly, I added 1 Red Rhinestone to each apple and popped up the sentiment panel.

September 11th

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today is September 11th.

A day that many will always remember as a sad day from 2001.

It started out as a beautiful day, brilliant blue skies & lots of sunshine. I was doing my weekly chores when the Today Show had Breaking News. As the day went on, it from worse to horrible. No one could ever imagine this happening but it was unfolding infront of our eyes on national tv.  

So many lives lost.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

I have a set of cards to share today that is part of a card order for my customer.

She is on a cruise this week to Bermuda. Her boat is to dock this Friday in Baltimore. 

With this week's Hurricane Florence coming....i'm not sure what is going to happen.

I just pray she is safe!!

She asked for something with apples on for this time of year.

This is what I made for her.

I just had to use the Basket Weave EF to make it look like picking apples and putting into a basket. I know my card does not look like that but that's the thought that came into my head as I was thinking about making this. I love the look of this Basket Weave Embossing Folder. It's a very deep impression. I used a small piece of October Afternoon paper that has been in my stash for years.

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Real Red, Very Vanilla, October Afternoon Paper

Accessories: Stitched Seasons Framelits, Basket Weave EF, Silver Paper Clip & Metallic Enamel Dots, Old Olive 1/8 Ribbon, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love when things come together so easily!
