Painted Season's Sympathy

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have another card to share from last Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends get together. 

I whipped up a Sympathy card using a variety of Stampin Up! products...

I love the pretty prints & patterns in this retired Painted Season's DSP. This was available back in 2019 during SaleABration and I am still trying to use it up whenever possible. The coordinating stamp set, Painted Season's also has the Four Season's Framelits as well. I hate when Stampin Up! brings out these amazing stamp sets with dies or punches and they retired them so quickly! 

As long as it's still in my stash...I will continue to use it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (retired), Peaceful Moments

Ink: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (retired)

Accessories: Four Season's Framelits (retired), Tailored Tag Punch, Dainty Diamonds EF (retired), Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Grapefruit Grove Enamel Dots (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Painted Season's HB

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Saturday my stamp get together went beautifully! 

Sunday, well, let's just say I was exhausted and glad it was done! 

I did not do much other than some laundry and watch football. 

I did get my stamp room back to it's normal set up and all stamps cleaned & put away.

I will be sharing more about my Holiday Hoopla event later today once I get pictures of my projects!

Today I have a set of birthday cards that my customer requested.

Something for this time of year and something that could be for a man or woman.

I was scratching my head on that one....

Then I went thru my Painted Season's DSP from SaleABration 2019 and found this pretty paper with the greens & pinecones! Perfect!

The pinecones come from the Painted Season's stamp set that was available during SaleABration last winter. The sentiment is from Perennial Birthday which is one birthday set that I use quite a bit!

But isn't that paper perfect for the month of December?! I think it's festive!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (SAB 19), Perennial Birthday

Ink: Call Me Clover, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Call Me Clover, Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (SAB 19)

Accessories: Four Season's Framelits (SaleABration Coordinates 19), Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Call Me Clover Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Painted Season's stamp set is also a Distinktive stamp set.

I love those types of stamps because it gives a realistic look to the image.

My card lady loved this set of cards which made me happy!

*************************************************************************

My thoughts today...

It's to be a rainy, dreary day here. It's pretty foggy out as I type this.

I need to go to my stamp table to work on an order.

I will be back later today with pictures from my Holiday Hoopla event so stay tuned for that!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your day!

Painted Seasons Set

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope everyone is having a good week and staying cool!

It's been humid here with severe storms everyday since Memorial Day.

Even tornado's! 

My card I have to share today is pretty straight forward.

I seen a video that Kelly Acheson did recently on using up DSP.

Then she diecut a Stitched Rectangle Framelit and diagonally cut it in half and placed on the top of her card. Reminds me of a doily draped over the top! 

The entire card base front is covered with DSP then the piece of cardstock layers over top!

I thought it was quite different and wanted to give it a try!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Seasons (SAB 19), Humming Along (sentiment)

Ink: Mango Melody, Call Me Clover, Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Painted Seasons DSP (SAB 19)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Rhinestones, Tombow Mulitpurpose Liquid Glue

I really liked this design and will use it again!

This set will be on my card rack for when my customer needs a pack of Thank You cards!

My thoughts today....

Over the weekend we had to go to Home Depot to order a new dryer.

My old one was starting to give me grief as it was taking several cycles just to dry a load of laundry.

Yesterday we got the old one out and made room for the new one.

It is to arrive before noon today!

Last summer I had to break down and get a new washing machine....this year I had to buy her matching partner! Ughh! It's one of those things you can't go without!

Thanks for stopping by & have a happy day!

My friend, Nan & I each designed some projects for the ladies which I will share here next week.

I make these for every Stamp Day w Friends so they have a nice bag to take their hand stamped cards home in. I enjoy making them as much as they like getting the bags!

Since I have several packs of the SaleABration Painted Season's DSP I decided to use some of that adorable mushroom paper to create my tags.

My sentiment comes from the Ribbon of Courage set. I love this sentiment!

I finished my tag with a big ole bow made from some Textured Weave  Poppy Parade Ribbon.

Bridal Shower Invite Part 2

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

After a busy day of doing housework yesterday, I ran off to my stamp table to redo the card I made for my customer. I am much happier with this one....

I redid the whole card removing the little blue flowers and stamping off for my leaves.

I did my sentiment in Soft Suede to go with the natural look of the invite.

Here is the invite again..

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Bridal Shower Invite

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

I had a request from my customer to make a bridal shower card and she asked if I could make it close to what the invite looked like.

Here is the invite and I do want to tell you that I cut the bottom half off because it contained all the personal information.

And this is what I took from it.

I'm not sure on the little blue flowers.

On invite some of those leaves are in a darker almost blue color so that was why I added the little blue flowers. I'm not sure I will let it this way and may give this another try today.

Shawn said it looked fine.

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (leaves), Beautiful Bouquet (flower & saying)

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon, Small Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

What do you think?

Maybe I should just redo the leaves and let the little blue flowers off?

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me a comment!

Blah!

Atleast the sun is shining and that always helps!

That's all for now!

SaleABration Coordinates

Hello & Happy Friday!

It's March 1st! How many days until Spring?
We have snow here this morning, not much but enough that some schools have closed.

Yesterday I had a chance to stamp a bit.

I got an order for more cards and this pack is one I put together using the SaleABration bundle, Painted Season's. Starting today you can purchase the Four Season's Framelits that coordinate with the Painted Season's stamp set! It is an absolutely wonderful suite!

The Painted Season's DSP is very pretty and I liked this sheet of succulents!

I stamped my succulent in Pool Party making sure my ink pad was not very inky.

I got a perfect stamped image thanks to that tip!

My sentiment is from the SAB Coordinations Promotion going on now.

That stamp set is called More Than Words which is full of sentiments to coordinate with SAB products.

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (SAB 19), More Than Words (SAB Coordinates)

Ink: Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party

Cardstock: Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party. Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (SAB 19)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Four Season's Framelits (SAB Coordinates), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This set was fun to create and I used an old technique on them.

I tore my DSP and my Pool Party cardstock for a cool look!

Hope you liked these!

Part of My Story

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Woke up to some pretty sunshine this morning which always helps put a spring in my step!

We've had so many gloomy, rainy days since last summer and every little bit of sunshine helps!

I know it's not gonna last as we have more rain on the way for tonight into tomorrow.

I have a really sweet card to share today that I whipped up in about 20 minutes last week.

I sent it to a friend to brighten her day!

I love sending out a little bit of happiness each week.

#makeacardsendacard

This time I used more of the SaleABration paper that comes in the Painted Season's bundle that is only available with a $100 order during SaleABration.

I was happy to know that my friend received it yesterday so I was in the clear to now share it here.

She said it definitely brightened her day and that was what it was suppose to do!

I love sending a card out with no other purpose than to brighten someone's day and make them smile.

Happy mail is SO much better than getting bills in the mail, don't ya think?

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (SaleABration 2019)
