Beary Cute Stamp A Stack

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Today will be another day at the stamp table working on projects for Christmas. I never did start Audrey's order yesterday because I got side tracked by all the candy sitting on my table! LOL I made M&M Sticks and filled some of my other treat holders now that Christmas candy has made it's way to the shelves.

I have a set of Christmas cards to share today that I made from a Stamp A Stack class I bought last year and ran out of time to make them. Marisa over at Kitchen Table Stamper had these and I thought they were so cute. Here is my set...

Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla, Beary Christmas DSP (retired)

Accessories: Christmas Tidings EF (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Beary Cute Punch (retired), Rhinetones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have so much of this DSP left from my pack & the stamp a stack that I purchased so i'm sure you will see more of it in the future! It does have some great prints in it!

Hallmark Movies & Sentimental Wishes

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you had a nice weekend! I felt like I skipped the weekend as busy as it was. Yesterday I did have a chance to catch my breath and watched the football game. My Thanksgiving decorations are out and thankfully it's not as much as I have for Halloween & Christmas! This weekend I was able to watch the new Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channels. This one was on Friday Night called A Carol for Two.

It was so good! It reminded me of a broadway show with lots of singing and a great story behind it! Jordan Litz & Gina Claire Mason were fantastic! 

Saturday Night we watched this one called A Holiday Love Story which was nothing like I was expecting! 

It told a story of how a couple met on a train and several missed opportunities. It was comical and also heartfelt. I am a huge fan of Warren Christie & Nikki De Loach whom were the main actors in this. Loved it from start to finish!

Last nights movie I could not stay awake for. This time change is no joke and just throws things off atleast for me. I hope one day this week to watch it.

Anyways, I know your here to see a card so let's get to it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sentimental Wishes

Ink: Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Basic White, Sentimental Christmas DSP

Accessories: Snowflake Sky 3D EF, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Silver Trim Ribbon, Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A quick & simple card! The prints in this DSP are surely vintage inspired. I haven't used any of the images from the Sentiment Wishes stamp set other than the words but it's also got great vintage images as well!

Christmas Labels

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Just a quick update this morning since I am in the middle of getting my Thanksgiving decorations out. Halloween is packed away for another year!

Today's card is made with the Christmas Labels bundle from this 2024 Holiday Catalog.

I left the paper do all the work on this.

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Labels

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Basic White, Reindeer Days DSP

Accessories: Christmas Labels Dies, Garden Green Ribbon (retired), Red Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the traditional red & green in this pack of paper and have been sparingly cutting up. Last week we popped out to do some shopping and I noticed this years colors for the holidays are the pinks & light blues which seems odd to me. I seen alot of gingerbread houses done in those light colors and honestly it did nothing for me. Bring back the traditional red & greens for Christmas, please!

Grateful Fun Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

And welcome to November!

Trick or Treat Night 2024 is in the books! It was good and we had our usual 20-30 kids. I was very surprised at a couple teenage boys that came by and how polite and kind they were! You don't see that very often!

We took Bailee out with us to hand candy out and she loved seeing all the kids! Every year we sit on the tailgate of the truck and greet the kids as they come up the driveway. Here is a picture of Shawn & Bailee. It was also the warmest Halloween on record! We did not have to wear winter coats, hats or gloves....just t-shirts!

Also here are 2 pictures of Kelsey in their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes at work.

And then one of the entire Lion's Pride Restaurant. Halloween is such a fun day to see people dressed up!

So, now the fun part comes of putting Halloween away! 

Thanksgiving will come out on Saturday because I don't want to over do it.

Today I have another fun fold card to share with you using a set called More Than Autumn.

I love this set and it's coordinating dies! I made this card to send to Kelsey since she is my pumpkin spice partner in crime. LOL

Card Details:

Stamps: More Than Autumn ($ Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set)

Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie, Stampin Blends-Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Exposed Brick 3D EF, More Than Autumn Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Pecan Pie Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Her & I have both been hitting the Pumpkin Spice pretty hard since about August. I found my Premier Protein Shakes came in Pumpkin Spice flavor and I wasn't sure I'd like it but it's really good used in my morning coffee! She will definitely get a laugh out of this card!

Happy Halloween!!!

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Halloween is finally here!

As we took our daily walk last evening I noticed so many houses in our neighborhood that are decorated for Halloween. Actually there are many around Red Lion that are but especially in our neighborhood. I'm not sure what to expect tonight for Trick or Treat Night but it's going to be warmer than it has in the past so that will be nice! Kelsey and the girls she works with are dressing up as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the restaurant. I hope she sends me a picture....I will share it here if she does!

Anyways, here is the last baby's 1st Halloween card for this year that Audrey requested.

Again, I pulled out my retired Harvest Hello's stamp set and some retired Witches Brew DSP and went to work with scraps!

I also wanted to share a Halloween fun fold card!

Special Fall Birthday

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Another pretty day is on tap here in Pennsylvania! Last evening we took our daily walk around the neighborhood and noticed many of the trees are almost bare. We've seen so many piles of leaves raked and put out at the curb for the leaf truck to come suck them up. Sometimes it surprises me that kids aren't out jumping in them! I remember doing that as a young one. LOL

Today I have a pretty Fall birthday card to share that Audrey requested for a family member.

This was kept simple because that is how she likes them so I left the paper do all the work.

Of course I could not let this Fall season go by without using this paper from The Paper Studio which I found at Hobby Lobby. It's definitely the perfect piece for Fall, don't you think? I added it to my card base then used a sentiment from the retired Framed Florets stamp set along with a Daffodil Delight bow which I added some Linen Thread to it and attached it. Audrey loved that paper and so do I!!

Today I am back to my stamp table as soon as I get moving! I slept in way too long today. Never even heard Shawn get up for work this morning. It's not often I sleep in anymore but I suppose I must have needed those extra hours! And with the time change coming Sunday it's going to throw things off yet again. 

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

My thoughts today...

2 more days until the trick or treaters come out! Are you ready?!

We will hand candy out as we do every year but we are lucky to get maybe 20 at most.

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Tis the Season

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! 

It sure was chilly here in PA this weekend and with the cooler temps comes the falling leaves. I think we are at peak for the color of the leaves as well. I don't think they got as vibrant since it's been quite dry in my area. Many trees are already empty so it won't be too much longer before the trees are completely bare.

I have a Christmas card to share that I made recently. It uses lots of retired items as I am trying to use what's in my stash.

Card Details:

Stamps: Brightest Glow (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Traditions of St. Nick DSP ( retired)

Accessories: Labels Aglow Dies (retired), Spotlight on Nature Dies, Christmas Tidings EF (retired), Gold Sequins, Gold Trim, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My DSP is retired from last year and I found these 2 scraps in the bottom of the pack. I think this may have been the first time I used this embossing folder. It's so pretty and of course, there is a gingerbread guy on it which I covered with my DSP. LOL

 I am making a pot of Chicken Corn Soup this morning for supper to help warm us up!

It's been chilly the last few days. Then I am headed to my stamp table to play. Saturday I stamped as long as my hands would allow me too! I worked on a 3D project which I will share once I get some pictures taken. Today I am gonna work on a few cards with a new to me fun fold. So excited!!

Can you believe that it is the last Monday of October?!

Crazy how fast time flies by!
