Delightful Wishes Notebook

 Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Just wanted to share a notebook that I re-covered with some Floral Delight DSP. This one makes me smile as I love the pretty flowers in this paper. I picked up the spiral bound notebooks at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. These make for a nice gift at anytime of the year.

Project Details:

Stamps: Delightful Wishes

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Floral Delight DSP

Accessories: Delightful Wishes Dies, Mini Alphabet Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Scalloped Contour Dies (retired), Pecan Pie Ribboned Dots (Online Exclusives), Daffodil Delight Ribbon, Adhesive Sheets, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombiw Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I ended up ordering another pack of the Floral Delight DSP because I think right now it's my favorite!

Coffee Cup Carriers

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Going to be a warm, sunny day ahead! YAY! 

Yesterday was a beautiful day, too! 

We took Miss Bailee out for a walk as we soaked up the warmth of the sunshine!

I have a sweet project to share with you today!

I found a bunch of the small coffee cups in my stash recently and decided to take some Floral Delight DSP and create a treat for some customers & friends. Of course, Audrey got one when I delivered her order last week and she loved it, especially the Dove Milk Chocolate & Caramel candies inside the cup!

Project Details:

Stamps: Inkadinkadoo 

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Basic White, Floral Delight DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Beautiful Butterflies Dies, Low Profile Dots (Online Exclusives), Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I enjoyed making these since it's been quite awhile.

I think it's the Floral Delight paper that makes me love these even more but i'm sure the candy sweetens the deal!

NEW * Impressions Abloom Suite *

 Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your having a nice weekend!

Today I have a set of pretty cards to share with you using a new bundle from the Stampin Up! Online Exclusives list. This is called Impressions Abloom which caught my eye as soon as I saw it. The Floral Impressions DSP is just as pretty with a variety of prints & flowers! This will be available to customers starting May 6, 2025.

Card Details:

Stamps: Impressions Abloom (Online Exclusives), Happiness Abounds (retired)

Ink: Strawberry Slush (returning In Color)

Cardstock: Strawberry Slush (returning In Color), Pretty in Pink, Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Floral Impressions DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Impressions Abloom Dies (Online Exclusives), Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used the Twisted Ribbon technique to create the panel with the 2 different pieces of Floral Impressions DSP. This is an easy technique and makes for an interesting look on your cards! If you've never tried it before, Google it and get the directions. I got mine from Terri Gaines whom is a Stampin Up! demonstrator. She has an easy to follow video tutorial.

I hope you will give this a try!

It adds such a cool look to any card!

Painted Lavender Notebook

 Happy Saturday, Friends!

It's a rainy, dreary morning here in south central Pennsylvania. 

Great morning to sleep in, for sure! 

Today I have a notebook redo to share with you! I recently found the spiral bound notebooks at the Dollar Tree and purchased a few. I take them apart and cover the front & back with our Designer Series Papers then decorate them. I have been doing this for many years and sold everyone one of them. They were a big seller at my craft shows years ago. I don't make them as much as I use to because I stopped the craft shows but I do still have customers who love them for gifts. I made this one with the Painted Lavender Bundle.

Project Details:

Stamps: Painted Lavender, Go to Greetings (retired Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Perennial Lavender DSP

Accessories: Painted Lavender Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Brushed Brass Butterflies, White Twine, Highland Heather Shimmer Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue, 2 Sided Tape

**Also I use the RSVP Pens and slide a piece of coordinating DSP into the barrel to match the notebook. I find these pens at Walmart. **

I do believe that this pack of DSP will be carrying over into the new 2025-2026 Stampin Up! Catalog! YAY! I have loved this paper!

With Love Fun Fold Birthday

 Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

Just wanted to share a pretty fun fold card that I made for a special birthday.

This was a new to me fun fold that was very easy to make using 12x12 cardstock. Luckily, I have a few sheets of 12x12 in my stash that I was able to use. I used the beautiful Floral Delight DSP from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog that is retiring on May 5th. I even bought a second pack of it because I love the prints & colors of this paper.

Card Details:

Stamps: Delightful Wishes, DRS Designs (inside sentiment)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Basic White, Floral Delight DSP

Accessories: Delightful Wishes Dies, Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Tiny Butterflies, Daffodil Delight Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

ETA:

Here is a link to the video tutorial on how to create this card.

Really Robin Stamps

She shares all the dimensions and many card samples to inspire! 

Before I mailed this card out the Tiny Butterfly trinket fell off the front of my card and I ended up replacing it with some gold sequins that were in my stash. They were easier to mail than the butterfly trinket would be. I do love those tiny butterfly trinkets, just wish they were a bit flatter.

I hope this card arrived in time for a special birthday this past week. I have been trying to get better about mailing cards out. Sometimes I do ok and other times it just goes out the window! *sigh*

Adventurous Sky

 Hello & Happy Monday, Friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter day!

We had a nice Easter. I kept the menu simple and no desserts but everyone walked away stuffed to the gills. It turned out to be a beautiful day with lots of sunshine. We spent some time out in the yard with Bailee & Shady. Shady spent the day with us while Kelsey was working. I even managed to get some time at my stamp table before we had our Easter dinner. It was a very nice day!

Today I am sharing a card that I made with a new to me bundle from the Stampin Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog called Adventurous Sky. I only recently grabbed it before it retires on May 5th. A great masculine set full of airplane images and terrific sentiments! This is card #1 that I made out of 5.

Card Details:

Stamps: Adventurous Sky

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Basic White, Take to the Sky DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Night of Navy Enamel Dots (retired), Natural Tones Linen Thread (retired), Hand Held Hole Punch, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm slowly building up my stash of cards for on the card rack. Masculine seems to be the one that is needed the most. I'll keep picking at it!

Wedding Day Card

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Our weather today is to get into the low 80's! Looking forward to a bit of warm weather for a change! Shawn is headed out fishing with his friend today. Seems like he has been waiting forever for a nice warm Saturday to go! I am gonna do a bit of dusting then possibly head down to do some crafting. I noticed yesterday that my tulips in the front flower bed opened. Beautiful red tulips! So pretty!

Last weekend I spent some time at my stamp table and I was going thru a box of images/diecuts that people had sent me over the years. I found a pretty flower diecut and a few Top Note diecuts and some stamped off images. I thought that they would make a pretty card. So, here is what I whipped up...

Card Details:

Stamps: Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Baja Breeze (retired)

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White (retired), Parisian Breeze DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Top Note Die (retired), Unknown Flower Diecut, Rhinestones, Sheer White/Silver Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It turned out really nice all thanks to my image/diecut box!

Only thing I had to cut was the card base and the bottom layer of DSP. 

Everything else was already done.

Another card for on the card rack, WooHoo!

Playing in the Rain

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

Today is Good Friday and most people have the day off but Shawn has to work. Boo!

I have a few things on my agenda today to do but then I hope to spend the afternoon crafting. Ryan asked for deviled eggs to go along with our Easter dinner Sunday so I am always happy to make them for him. It's one thing he does like! We are in for a delightful day with sunshine and some warm temps which I am sure will put a spring in my step! LOL I have one set of Easter cards to share that I made for on the card rack. These were a last minute creation so they will not be going anywhere this year since Easter is only 2 days away. I pulled out my very loved Playing in the Rain bundle and used that adorable bunny on my cards. Sadly. this set will be retiring on May 5th. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Playing in the Rain, Excellent Eggs (retired sentiment)

Ink: Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron (retired), Memento Black, Stampin Blends- Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron (retired)

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Basic White, Country Gingham DSP (retired)

Accessories: Greetings of the Season Dies, Playing in the Rain Dies, White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Waves Rhinestones (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used the Stack & Shuffle technique with the Country Gingham DSP which has been long retired but the perfect choice of springtime colors! I have a full pack unopened and about 2/3 of a pack that I am slowly picking at. The Stack & Shuffle technique is a fun one and really showcases your DSP. It is one of my "go to's" for using up paper and so fun!

The inside of the cards say Happy Easter.

Feel Better Soon

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Today I have a pretty card to share with you that has been awhile in the making so to speak. I started this card atleast a year or so ago and never finished it. I had the Petal Pink cardbase cut and the Crushed Curry panel embossed and then it got tossed aside for some reason. Last week I found it and decided to do something with it. So I added some paper from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP which is now retired. Isn't that daisy paper just so pretty? I felt like this needed to be a Get Well card for on the card rack. 

Card Details:

Stamps: So Sincere (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Crushed Curry

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Crushed Curry, Basic White, Delightfully Eclectic DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tailor Made Tags Dies (retired), Basics 3D EF (retired), Crushed Curry Ribbon (retired), Petal Pink Sequins (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots of retired products on this card but I got to get this stuff used up!

I think this one would cheer just about anyone up!

Easter Bunny Cards

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

We're moving thru the week pretty quickly!

Today I have a set of Easter cards to share with you that I made using some old stash. I was going thru some old papers the other day and found a pack of 12x12 papers from Making Memories. Actually it was a scrapbook kit. I cut the papers down and made a set of cards with it. I also paired it with an old Lockhart Bunny stamp that's been in my stash since 2008. To be honest, I'm not even sure if Lockhart Stamps is still in business these days but I have a whole drawer full of stamps that I need to dust off and use.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lockhart Bunny, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends- Pretty in Pink, So Saffron (retired), Copic Markers BG 10 & BG 11

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Soft Sky (retired), Basic White, Making Memories ( Garden Party)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Countryside Corners Dies, Duet Banner Punch (retired), Soft Sky Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink Resin Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This paper is so pretty and how perfect for spring!

I had a wonderful time playing with the old goodies from my stash. I am planning on doing more of that in the days to come! 

Hope you enjoyed!
