Sweetest Cherries Book Binder Card

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend! Yesterday got pretty hot so it was time to turn the ac on!

Today they are calling for showers & thunderstorms. We really need the rain!!

Today I have card #2 to share with you from Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together.

For this card I used the Sweetest Cherries bundle and used the Book Binder fun fold.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweetest Cherries, Peaceful Moments (inside saying-retired)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Soft Suede (retired), Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Basic White, Dream A Daydream DSP (hostess retired)

Accessories: Cherry Builder Punch, White Glittered Ribbon, Iridescent Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card was a bit tricky for the girls when it came to stamping the cherries, stems & leaves and then punching them out. I may try another card with the Sweetest Cherries bundle to get them more familiar with how to stamp the images and punch them out. All in all they loved the card! The only thing popped up on the front of the card was the one cherry.

As you know I watch Kitchen Table Stamper almost every week. I am an avid follower of hers and love most everything that she shares. Last week on her Facebook Live she created this card called a Book Binding Explosion Card and yesterday I sat and tried it. So cool and so easy! I will share the link if your interested in making one at the bottom of my post.

I used a new set called Two Tone Flora and it's coordinating dies! Take a look...

Birthday Fun Fold Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Everyone!

I hope your enjoying your weekend!

It's a cold one here in south central Pennsylvania! We ran a few errands yesterday morning then back home and out of the cold. The sun was shining beautifully but the chill was definitely there! 

Today I am sharing a card that I cased from another demonstrator.

This is a fun fold card but i'm not sure of the name. It was a bit tricky to make too so i'm not sure i'd make another one. I cased this card from Chris Slogar at Buckeye Inklings and only changed up the sentiments....everything else I give her full credit for.

The paper I used on this is a 2023 SaleABRAtion offering going on now thru the end of February called Dainty Flowers DSP. Every single sheet is beautiful! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Starry Sky

Cardstock: Starry Sky, Basic White, Dainty Flowers DSP (SAB 23)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Iridescent Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Here is the link to Buckeye Inklings blog if your interested in making this card. 

This card and instructions are at the bottom of her post. 

Fun Fold by Buckeye Inkling

Not sure what's going to be on the agenda today now that the Super Bowl is over and football season has ended. I have a small card order for Audrey to pick at the next few days and I am hoping to plan a get together with the girls soon, too!

On Friday I took down all the Valentine decorations and put out my St. Patrick's Day things. I hung my flags out on the front porch and noticed my daffodils are starting to pop thru the mulch. A sure sign that spring is coming and longer days of daylight, too! YAY!

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

Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a pretty set of Thank You cards for my card lady!

She asked for some flowers since the first day of Spring is Saturday.

I started with a Thick Whisper White cardbase that I covered with a piece of Flowers For Every Season DSP. Then I stamped my sentiment from Peaceful Moments on Whisper White cardstock with Magenta Madness ink. I diecut it out with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits and I added a Magenta Madness Enamel Dot to each card to finish them!

Perfect for Spring!

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Magenta Madness

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Flowers For Every Season DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Magenta Madness Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were simple to whip up since the DSP does all the work!

Corner Bouquet

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Can you believe it snowed half the day yesterday then the sun came out for maybe 2 hours!

Crazy! Today it's to be sunny but cold out....I just hope it's enough to melt the snow!

I have a bunch of errands to do today then home to hibernate, maybe do some stamping!

Before I head out this morning I have a card to share I made earlier this week using the SaleABration set, Corner Bouquet. I love this silhouette image as it reminds me of a Stampendous stamp I had years ago.

I started by using my Corner Bouquet stamp in my Stamparatus which worked very well!

If it did not stamp well the first time it was easy to reink the stamp and stamp again for a perfect image!

Then I added the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments set.

I went in search of ribbon to match my monochromatic card and had nothing so I pulled out my Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon and colored it with my Rococo Rose Stampin Blends.

It worked like a charm!

Card Details:

Stamps: Corner Bouquet (SAB 21), Peaceful Moments

Ink: Rococo Rose, Rococo Rose Stampin Blend Dark

Cardstock: Rococo Rose, Whisper White, Oh So Ombre DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon, Glue Dots, Stamparatus, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was so pleased with how these turned out!

They will go on my card rack for sale.

But isn't that paper and the Corner Stamp so pretty together?!

Posted For You Card Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

My card lady called asking for a few more packs of cards which I am happy to whip up for her!

She wants 2 packs of Thinking of You cards and this is the 1st set...

The stamp set is called Posted For You that I have had since late summer and never used it.

It coordinates with the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch which I have used on several projects but today I am using it to create a pack of Thinking of You cards using the Posted For You stamp set!

My images are inked by directly using the Stampin Write Markers right on the rubber. Once I used each color I huffed on it to remoisten the ink and stamped them on Whisper White cardstock.

They turned out perfectly!

I layered 3 on each card but adhering them to a piece of Vellum using the Stamping Seal Plus adhesive that Stampin Up now carries. I have t say that I like both the Stampin Seal and the Stampin Seal Plus but the Plus is my favorite and works very well!!

Card Details:

Stamps: Posted For You, Peaceful Moments

Ink: Real Red, Real Red & Granny Apple Green Stampin Write Markers

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Vellum

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Plus

First time that I have used this set and I just love it!

I hope you liked my cards today!

Peaceful Moments Sympathy

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Another hot day is on tap here!

They said it could very well be another 100 degree day.

Hell on earth is what I keep telling Shawn.

This high heat & humidity is sending the ants inside looking for a cool off as the last several days we found them all over our kitchen sink & counter top. Last summer we had this problem when we had a hot spell. He found a recipe online for a homemade ant spray that took care of it.

This morning I found 2 ants on my coffee cup so time to start spraying again!

2020 is turning out to be quite the year, isn't it?!

Today is my cleaning day so before I head off to get that done I wanted to share a set of sympathy cards I made last week for my card lady. I had most of the supplies out on my stamp table from my Stamp Day w Friends get together so I just used that!

I used 2 different prints from the Flowers for Every Season DSP because that paper is so pretty and could work for almost any occasion. 

My card lady loved these as she keep looking at them saying they were her favorites!

It was so good to see her and sit and talk with her.

She will be 90 in a few weeks and she is such a sweetheart!

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Flowers for Every Season DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were quick & easy to whip up!

I love that Stampin Up gives us these beautiful packs of paper so we can let the paper do all the work!

Certainly makes my job easier!

Today I have card #4 from Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends.

This one was a quick & easy card made using the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

This card was perfect for a sympathy card with those soft, pretty flowers!

The girls loved this one!
