Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Friends!
I know it's been a minute since I last posted. Life has been life-ing for sure!
I have so much that I want to share on here so I am going to try to get better about posting.
Last month was Christmas in July and I spent so much time making cards for almost every occasion under the sun. Lots of Christmas cards, too! I have been on a mission to use up what I have and truthfully it does not look like I even put a dent in my stash of papers! LOL
So, today I am going to start off my blog post with wishing our good friends, Deb & Ed and very Happy Anniversary! I actually had a card on the card rack that I pulled off and got mailed to them earlier this week and I'm happy to say that it arrived in time for their special day!
Today I have a fun fold card to share that we made in July at a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together! We had a blast with this one! This card is a book binding explosion card. They are such fun cards to create and really give that WOW effect when you open it. I know Deb loves anything beachy so I decided to use the now retired Ocean Friends bundle that was available in the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. This is what we made...
Card Details:
Stamps: Ocean Friends (retired), Happiest Day (retired), Friendly Seagulls (SAB 25)
Ink: Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green
Cardstock: Summer Splash, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Friends of the Ocean DSP (retired)
Accessories: Ocean Friends Dies, White/Silver Sheer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
This came together pretty quickly for the girls since I had most of it already prepared. They just had to do the stamping and adhering it together.
I love the colors & prints in this package of paper as they are fresh & fun and perfect for a summertime card.
So here we are in August already! It is soon time for another Stamp Day w/ Friends get together which I have been working on some card kits for the girls. In the midst of crafting my hands off, my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine broke. So now I am at the mercy of UPS and waiting on them to delivery my new machine! I hope it won't be too much longer!
I will share the next card we made at Stamp Day tomorrow so be sure to stop back, ok?

Our weather here is to be beautious!
