Stamp Day w/ Friends Card #4

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

The weekend is here! It's not going to be as fun as last weekend was but the weather is to be beautiful so I'm looking forward to getting in some walking! 

Today I am sharing the last card from my recent Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. I made this a fun fold Halloween card which the girls loved!

Card Details:

Stamps: Spooky Halloween (Online Exclusives), Fright Night (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends- Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Petunia Pop

Cardstock: Petunia Pop, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Spooky Sweet DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Spooky Halloween Dies (Online Exclusives), Fright Night Dies (Online Exclusives), 2 1/2 in Circle Punch, Shimmer Foam Stars (Online Exclusives), Petunia Pop Shimmer Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Blending Brush, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Also today starts the Christmas movies over on the Hallmark Channel.

Personally, I love Christmas but think it's a wee bit early for then to start. Nonetheless, I will still be watching! Tonight starts a new mystery series on there called the Mistletoe Murders that stars Sarah Drew & Peter Mooney. It is a holiday murder mystery series that started last year on the Hallmark Plus streaming service. I enjoyed watching them so I will watch them again. There are new episodes every Friday night for the next several weeks.

Stamp Day w/ Friends Card #2

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Today I am sharing the 2nd card we made last week at my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together.

Happy Jacks

 Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

I am so looking forward to the weekend!!

Tomorrow we are having a Halloween Day with Kelsey that we've been planning for a few weeks now. We got a Halloween puzzle to put together and making a pot of chili to eat throughout the day. We also got Halloween pj's to lounge around in, then tomorrow night is the new Halloween movie on the Hallmark Channel that we are excited to see! I picked up all kinds of junk food which is something I don't eat too often but this weekend we are making an exception. LOL Not sure how that will go being that today is injection day for me. I guess it depends how much it curbs my appetite but I am planning on having the chili and cornbread! YUM! I will share pictures one day next week!

Today I have a Halloween card to share that was made with stuff that is in my stash. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Festive Corners (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP (retired)

Accessories: Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Halloween Night Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Those cute jack o'lanterns are from the Spooky Night DSP from 2017 and are diecut directly from the paper. I'm sure next Halloween season you will be seeing more of those jack o'lanterns since I had 3 packages of that DSP to use up. I'm slowly getting there!

That's all for now!

Gallery Blooms HB

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

It's a rainy morning here in south central Pennsylvania. No complaining from me since we really need the rain. It's been a dust bowl around here. So far this morning it's on the warm side but that is all going to change this afternoon as a cold front is coming in with much cooler temperatures. I noticed yesterday that the breeze was really blowing the leaves off the trees. Tis the season, right?

Today I have a pretty birthday card to share with you from the Gallery Blooms stamp set. I love that big ole flower in the set and always gravitate to use it. Take a look...

Card Details:

Stamps: Gallery Blooms, Simply Said 

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Soft Seafoam, Cloud Cover

Cardstock: Cloud Cover, Basic White, Floral Charm DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Gallery Blooms Dies, Eyelet 3D EF, Neutral Matte Dots (Online Exclusives), Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Cloud Cover is a new In Color this year and one that I have barely touched. 

It's an odd blue-ish gray but it is very pretty! Reminds me of an old Stampin Up! color, Bordering Blue.

Last evening I delivered another card order to Audrey and picked up the basket of Halloween treats. There was only 3 M&M Sticks left! That was a pleasant surprise! 

It's always great to sit & visit with her! She looked great, too!

Today I have to get the finishing touches done for my Stamp Day w/Friends get together that I am having tomorrow morning. I cannot wait to see my friends and make some cards! WooHoo!

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...

Card Details:

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

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

Cardstock: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Lemon Lolly Enamel Dots (retired), Lemon Lolly Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Mixed Labels (retired Online Exclusives)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Regal Winter DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Nested Dies (retired) Dashing Designs 3D EF (retired), Mixed Labels Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Fresh Freesia Sequins (retired SAB 25), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

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

Ink: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Daffodil Delight Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink In Color Shimmer Gems (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's the same design as the 1st card but I used different colors.

I think they all turned out quite lovely!

Square Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday, Friends!

Today I wanted to share with you a few Thank You cards that I made for Audrey recently.

For about the last year she has changed up her card orders to mostly this style and most without sayings so she can use them for a variety of occasions. Before her local Hallmark Card Store closed she use to purchase blank cards that had just a square on the front with different patterns on it. One day she asked me if I could replicate that on her cards. The cards I am sharing today have been made for her and she asked for Thank You to be on them. Her birthday was recently and she was showered with so many cards & gifts that she wanted to send each person a Thank You card....

I used a variety of stamp sets & Designer Series Papers on these. I did not list them but if you need to know just let me a comment and i'll list the details.

I will also share the cards that she requested without sayings later this week. 

I don't mind making this type for her. It's actually quicker and without all the fuss.

Christmas Tags & More Pocket Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your weekend is going well!

We got all our chores done yesterday so today will be a bit of a relaxation day since football is on at noon. Our Baltimore Ravens haven't been doing so great so I will probably watch and craft at the same time.

Today I want to share with you a card that I made using the Christmas Tags & More Kit from the 2025 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. This caught my eye from the start and was in my original preorder. Once my order arrived I put it away and kinda forgot about it until I looked thru the catalog which reminded me of it. I played with it one day last week and made this card. I was on a roll with making Christmas Gift Card Holders but this one I left blank for now.

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Real Red, Garden Green, Basic White, Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP, Greetings For You Ephemera Pack

Accessories: Low Profile Dots (Online Exclusives), Real Red Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Twine (retired), Hand Held Hole Punch (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Everything but the cardstock & sentiments come in the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP and this pack is loaded with pretty designer series paper images. The sentiment is from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack which is also loaded with different sentiments! Also this pack is adhesive back which makes for creating cards really quick! I am loving this entire combo of products! I have made a few quick Christmas gift cards holders so far which I will share soon! Check out the Stampin Up! 2025 Holiday Mini Catalog if your interested in this! If you have a busy life and need to create cards, gift cards or gifts for the upcoming holiday...these are the products for you!
