Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

I wanted to share with you guys the set of cards I made for Audrey for Easter. She requested 1 pack and 5 more for each of the great grandkids. I will share the great grandkids cards tomorrow. Since she likes her cards simple I decided to use the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack because it has some very cute punchouts in it. I also pulled out the retired Framed Tulips EF to use with the punchouts.

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny (sentiment 2023)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Garden Green, Basic White, Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

Accessories: Framed Tulips EF (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The ephemera packs that Stampin Up! carries really do make card making so much faster & easier! I am finding that I am using them more & more!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bob!

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I am sharing a sweet birthday card made for a very nice man that lives in our neighborhood, Mr. Bob. We've come to know Mr. Bob thru Kelsey but also he walks everyday and he will stop and chat with us if he sees us out. He goes into the restaurant every evening for his supper and he always sits in Kelsey's section. He came and spent Christmas Eve with us this past year and it was so nice to spend time with him. He is widowed and his son & DIL lives directly across the street from him. Anyways, he recently celebrated his 84th birthday! He treated him to a bouquet of balloons and a gift certificate for the restaurant. He was so overjoyed when we went knocking on his door that Sunday afternoon! It made his whole day! So, of course, I had to make him a card!

Card Details:

Stamps: Number of Years (retired), Large Numbers (retired)

Ink: Tempting Turquoise (retired), Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise (retired), Granny Apple Green, Basic White, SEI Patterned Paper

Accessories: Deckled Circles (retired), Large Number Framelits (retired), Lucky Stars EF (retired), Enamel Stars -Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card was made last minute so I kept it quite simple. 

His family later took him out for a big dinner to celebrate his special day!

He's such a sweetheart and i'm glad we got to help make his day just a bit happier!

Make A Wish

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

We are finally getting some nice weather atleast for now! 

By the end of the week it's to go back to being cooler and I hope that they do not start with the "S" word! We got the clocks changed forward for spring so let's hope spring is here to stay!

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card that I made with a really old set called Party Wishes. I honestly do not think I ever used it before. I am taking a break from buying anything new right now since I have SO much in my stash. I keep all my stamp sets in an organized fashion so I know where to find things. As I was going thru my birthday sets I found this set in the very back. I think it's high time for it to see some ink!

Birthday Celebration Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Today I have a few birthday cards to share with you that I made last summer using the now retired Birthday Celebration Bundle that was in the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. The Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP is so pretty & springy! The entire suite is amazing!

The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper is loaded with such pretty paper patterns and 2 sheets of punchouts. I love this option when it comes to card making or even scrapbooking!

I don't have much of this paper left and honestly what is left I am hoarding! LOL It's just so pretty!
