Cookie Cutter Halloween Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your having a wonderful weekend!

The weather here has been beautiful with nice sunshine and temps in the 70's!

Today I am going back to sharing a another Halloween card. This one uses lots of retired Stampin Up! products that are in my stash that I am trying to use up. You may remember this set if you've been around in the Stampin Up! world for a few years. This set coordinates with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and also has a coordinating Christmas set, too!

Card Details:

Stamps: Cookie Cutter Halloween (retired 2016), Spooky Fun (retired 2026)

Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie, Stampin Blends- Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Halloween Night Specialty DSP (retired 2016)

Accessories: Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (retired 2016), Stylish Shapes Dies, Halloween Night Twine (retired 2016), Pumpkin Pie Enamel Stars (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had the Cookie Cutter Christmas set out recently to create a Baby card for Audrey and remembered how much I loved this suite of products! I left it out on my table to use again. The Gingerbread in that set was my favorite that I used many times! 

If you have this set may I suggest that you pull it out and use it again! I promise it will make you smile!

Beautiful Motifs Wedding

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today I have a pretty card to share using the Beautiful Gallery Suite from the 2025-2026 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. At first when I seen this suite I wasn't too sure it would be something I would use. The Beautiful Gallery DSP is filled with gorgeous floral prints as well as some scenes which sometimes makes cards come together quite easy. I eventually decided to order it after seeing SO many amazing cards made with it. Gallery Blooms & Dies is the floral stamp set in this collection and the Beautiful Motifs & Dies is the set filled with sentiments and more floral dies. To date I have not used this suite of products much but I have created some cards with it for some upcoming Stamp Day w/ Friends get togethers once the holidays are over. The card I am sharing today is a wedding card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Motifs

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic Beige, Petal Pink, Beautiful Gallery DSP

Accessories: Damask Designs EF, Beautiful Motifs Dies, Nested Essentials Dies, Scalloped Petal Pink Ribbon (retired), Antique Pearls (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Now that I have created some cards with this collection of products I am glad that I purchased it! It gives such a vintage, antique feel to any card. And add the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to it for a beautiful card no matter the occasion! 

Hope you liked today's card!

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!

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

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.

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!
