Happy 99th Birthday

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today I am sharing another cute card made for Audrey's recent order.

She has a number of friends whom will be celebrating big birthdays this coming month. She has asked that I personalize all of them for her. This is the first one I made...

Card Details:

Stamps: Memorable Moments (retired), Petal Park (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Basic White, Regency Park DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Petal Park Builder Punch, Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue 

I always did love this paper & stamp set! I just realized that the Petal Park Builder Punch carried over into the 2024-2025 Stampin Up Catalog! YAY! Too bad the stamp set did not.

Handmade Hugs

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

This morning we woke up to a bit cooler temps compared to what we have been dealing with since the end of June. Almost feels refreshing with a light breeze coming from the north. I turned the AC off and opened a few windows and it feels so nice.

Thursday I had a chance to play at my stamp table and pulled out some new stamps that I have had but did not get the chance to use them. I do many cards for Audrey each month and when I order stamps I always keep her in mind and what she would request. Lately she has just been asking for plain cards with no saying, no ribbon and no fun embellishments and I find this a challenge. Stampin Up gives us so many amazing stamps and lately I don't feel like I get to ink many of them up because she requests plain cards. So I am still trying to use them for myself or in my Stamp Day w Friends get togethers. The card I am sharing today is one that I will use or put on my card rack for sale. It uses the Handmade Hugs set from the 2023-2024 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. It has a coordinating Handmade Tag Punch that came out in the 2022 Holiday Catalog. I also used the new Berry Harvest background stamp and the Petal Park Bundle. 

 

My monochromatic card uses Berry Burst cardstock & ink. This use to be a In Color that retired but recently came back into our color spectrum. I think I love it more now than I did when it was an In Color! It was fun to sit and sit with all these new stamps and just let the creativity roll. I love the Berry Harvest background stamp as it adds alittle something to my cardbase. The Berry Burst Gingham DSP is also so pretty! I was happy to finally be able to use it. The Handmade Hugs set is delightful with some great sentiments which I love! And finally the Petal Park Bundle does not disappoint. Those flowers and leaves stamp so nicely and the coordinating Petal Park Builder Punch makes it easy for quick results! I love how this card turned out!

Card Details:

Stamps: Handmade Hugs, Petal Park, Berry Harvest Background

Ink: Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Berry Burst, Basic White, Glorious Gingham DSP

Accessories: Handmade Tag Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Petal Park Builder Punch, Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today we don't have much planned so I am going to try to get to my stamp table to play. I recently purchased a Christmas Stamp A Stack that I started yesterday but did not get very far with it, I also have lots of laundry to get started so i'm trying to keep it a low keyed day! Shawn always seems to have other plans though! LOL

Petal Park Bundle

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

It's definitely feeling like a winter day around here! We had snow yesterday but as soon as the sun came out it melted away. We are under a high wind warning thanks to the nor'easter heading up the new england coast. 

Last evening we made a trip to Quarryville, PA and we had to cross a bridge that goes over the Susquehanna River. It was a bit nerve racking with these winds being this strong! There was a horse and buggy crossing at the same time and you could see how much the wind affected the horse and blowing that buggy all over the road. I was never so happy to get to the other side of the bridge after that! If your headed out make sure you hang on to your hat! Burrrr!

Anyways, today I have a pretty set of cards to share that I made with a new stamp set. I have had the stamp set for weeks and finally found the time to use it! My cards use the Petal Park set and it's Petal Park Builder Punch along with some Regency Park DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Petal Park, Art Gallery (saying)

Ink: Shaded Spruce, Sweet Sorbet

Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink, Basic White, Regency Park DSP

Accessories: Petal Park Builder Punch, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Painted Texture 3D EF, White Glittered Ribbon, Iridescent Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These will be going on the card rack for sale as soon as I get them packaged up with envelopes.

I always try to keep it filled when I do not have any orders so when I do get orders I already have cards created and ready to go!

I love the pop of colors on them! Very refreshing on this blustery cold day!

Spring is coming...
