Daffodil Notecards

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

The weekend is here! Do you have any fun plans?

This afternoon we are doing a trip to Sam's Club then tomorrow I am having the girls over for a Stamp Day w/Friends get together. Excited to see them and make some cards with them! They are calling for off & on showers today & tomorrow then we are to get some more crazy winds. 

I got Audrey's card order delivered last evening. She is like a kid in a candy store when I hand her the bag of cards! Her eyes get as big as saucers and she oooooh's and aaaah's over each & every card. Needless to say, she always tells me she loves all them! One pack of cards she requested was a pack of just notecards with daffodils on so she can send a note when she needs a card for something specific. I pulled out some retired Daffodil Afternoon DSP from SaleABRation 2022 and got to work.

She did not want a saying or any "stones" as she calls the rhinestones on these.

She has a nice garden on the back side of her house that has lots of beautiful daffodils that she talks about frequently. They get the sun all day long and are just so pretty!

Since this pack of DSP has the color black in it I wanted to brighten them up. I found the Pear Pizzazz heart paper in the same pack and decided to layer that under the daffodil & daisy papers. I added some stitching to the heart paper to jazz it up some using the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. Sadly, these beautiful dies are retiring but won't be leaving my stash anytime soon as I just love them! Lastly, I did add a little bow with some retired Crushed Curry Twine with a glue dot and called this pack done.

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Afternoon DSP (retired SAB 22)

Accessories: Stitched With Whimsy Dies, Crushed Curry Twine (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Springtime Thank You Card

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday I finished up Audrey's order and tonight it will get delivered to her! 

I can't wait to see her and talk with her as it's been well over a month since I last seen her. Today I will be working on getting my stamps mounted and ready for Saturday's Stamp Day. I can't wait to see the girls and catch up! 

The cards I am sharing today are part of Audrey's order. She requested Thank You cards so I pulled out some retired Flowering Fields DSP from last year and whipped these up pretty quick!

This sheet of DSP is so pretty as I love the different colors of tulips on them with the Pool Party background. I kept these simple letting the paper do all the work!

Card Details:

Stamps: Good Feelings

Ink: Petal Pink

Cardstock: Pool Party, Petal Pink, Basic White, Flowering Fields DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday Stampin Up! shared with demonstrators the new color refresh that is coming in May with the new 2023-2024 Stampin Up Catalog. I am in awe of the colors that are coming into the Color Groups and the New In Colors! We have 11 colors that are leaving which I am sorta sad about. Soft Suede is one that I have come to use alot over the years with it's softer color of brown. Pacific Point is another i'm surprised at but that being said...there are alot of pretty colors coming into our color spectrum that will be just as lovely! Also there are a handful of retired In Colors that are making their way back in to the color ring! I've already spoken about Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock but now there will also be Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight & Blueberry Bushel!! It's a good thing I hoard everything that retires because I have every single color in inkpads, reinkers, cardstock, markers & ribbons! YAY! For once my hoarding is paying off! LOL

Oh, and the new 2023-2024 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog....ROCKS!

Can't wait!

Moon Baby Shower Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

This week seems to be flying by! I have been busy with Audrey's card order and getting my house straightened up. Saturday I am having a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together so I am working feverishly to get this card order wrapped up. I hope today to get it finished and make a small little Easter treat to put in with her bag of cards as a Thank You.

I wanted to share a baby shower card that I made Audrey a few months ago using the Moon Baby stamp set. She gave me the invitation to make something similar.

Audrey loved it and asked for another one on this month's order. I don't have very much in baby stamps and hope soon we get some nice stamp sets! She also requested the Welcome Baby card to go with this the baby shower card so she had it on hand when the baby was born. I will share that one tomorrow.

Card Details:

Stamps: Moon Baby (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Pink Pirouette (retired), Daffodil Delight & Ivory

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette (retired), Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Daffodil Daydream

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a set of Easter cards to share with you that were part of Audrey's card order.

She requested 2 packs of Easter and this is one set I made using the Daffodil Daydream bundle that came out in the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and carried over into the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

Card Details:

Stamps: Daffodil Daydream, Celebrating You

Ink: Memento Black, Mint Macaron, Stampin Blends-Petal Pink & Mint Macaron

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Basic White, Country Gingham DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Daffodil Dies, Blending Brushes, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I enjoyed coloring these daffodils which weren't too much work. I did a little at a time so my hands did not hurt. I used the Blending Brushes on the oval under the flower for a little bit of color but looking at these cards it looks like I had a heavy hand! LOL 

I hope she likes them....especially the Petal Pink daffodils!

Easter Bunny Set

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Another rainy day is on tap here in PA. 

Yesterday we had rain, thunder, sunshine and warm temps! It's definitely feeling like spring!

I'm up to my neck in making cards for Audrey but I wanted to share with you a fun set of Easter Bunny cards that I whipped up on Wednesday afternoon...

I used some Enjoy The Journey DSP that was a SaleABRation offering in February.

These colors reminded me of spring.

This is a picture of the measurements I used for these...

I cut 3 pieces of DSP at one time and then lay my DSP out and shuffle up the pieces. Each card is different. I also used those new Radiating Stitches Dies! LOVE THEM!

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny

Ink: Polished Pink, Mango Melody

Cardstock: Polished Pink, Mango Melody, So Saffron, Basic White, Enjoy The Journey DSP

Accessories: Easter Bunny Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Radiating Stitches Dies, Iridescent Rhinestones, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were SO much fun to create!

I also made a few more Easter Bunny cards that I will share with you soon!

Happy Anniversary Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

A rainy day is on tap here in PA and I hope to make it another stamp day!

All went well yesterday at the dentist. The new crown was a perfect fit and no adjustments were needed. As soon as I got home yesterday Audrey called and gave me a big order which I got started on after lunch.

She requested a pack of Anniversary cards and this is what I made her...

Card Details:

Stamps: Many Mates (retired)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Pool Party, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Design A Daydream DSP (Hostess)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Radiating Stitches Dies, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Have you noticed those new dies I used on these cards?

Those are the Radiating Stitches Dies that are part of the Online Exclusives.

They diecut so nicely and I love the stitching!

I paired the dies with the Dream A Daydream DSP that is a hostess offering in the 2022-2023 Stampin Up Annual Catalog. It had the perfect colors for spring and it's a huge 12 x 12 paper stack! It will take me forever to use that pack up! LOL

We already know that Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon are making their way back into our color spectrum with the new catalog.  I always have lots of retiring In Color stuff.
