Police Officer HB Card

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

It's been a busy couple of days preparing for my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together tomorrow. Plus I've had 2 trips to the dentist this week.

Yesterday I got a cleaning and they took off my one crown because it was not sealed around my tooth and they found that food was getting trapped in those pockets and also found decay under it because it was not sealed. I have a temporary crown on for the next 3 weeks so I have to be very careful eating certain things. My gums were a bit of an issue yesterday as the cleaning made them sore but then the work I had done right after did not help. At one point my gum would not stop bleeding. I felt them aching most of yesterday and was told to take Advil for the next few days & rinse with salt water to help heal them. This morning they feel much better!

Today I have a card to share that my card lady requested for her 1 grandson whom is a police officer. I pulled out some retired products to make this one.

Card Details:

Stamps: Wildlife Wonder, Badges & Banners (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Smokey Slate

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Urban District Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Badge Punch (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Classic Matte Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's always good to hold on to retired stuff for occasions like this when it's needed.

I'm not sure what I would have made for this man if it wasn't for my retired stash!

I hope my card lady likes this one!

Tomorrow I will share another grandson's birthday card. The 2 grandson's are twins!

Stay tuned!

Stamp Day Cards

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend!

I'm updating a bit late today! I had my friends over yesterday afternoon to have a Girls Day of making cards & chatting. It's always great spending time with them!

Today I am sharing a couple cards we made yesterday...

Altogether we made 7 cards which were simple cards even though they are experienced stampers. I will share the rest later this week. I had everything cut and prepared for them. All they had to do was stamp and adhere everything together. We will be getting together again in 2 weeks and i'm not sure about them but I had a great time!

My thoughts today....

Yesterday my hubby woke up to what he thinks is a diverticulitis flare up.

He's not running a fever or nauseated but he is having abdominal pain & tenderness. He quickly started taking in liquids and stopped food even though he says he's starving.

He put a note into his primary care doctor to see what he should do next. 

In the meantime he is resting & watching his Baltimore Ravens. Also yelling at the tv! LOL

I will keep you updated as we know more!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Enjoy Your Day

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

It sure was a hot one here but we did manage to get out early Sunday morning for a 8 mile bike ride before it got too hot! 

So today I wanted to share a card made for a young man that is in the service.

This was part of the card order that I delivered last week.

I resorted to using some old paper from my stash that was made by Paper Salon and this pad is called Pristine. It reminded me of army colors so that is what I used.

Again I used the Badges & Banners bundle for the main image. This set is awesome!

My Soft Suede banner in embossed with a Darice Star Embossing Folder. I love the star print on that!

My sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set and punched out with the Word Window Punch and I added some gold flathead stickers on it. Lastly I popped up the badge and called it done.

Enjoy Your Day Card:

Stamps: Badges & Banners, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Paper Salon- Pristine Pad

Accessories: Badge Punch, Darice Star EF, Banners Framelits, Word Window Punch, Gold Nailhead Stickers, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was very pleased with this once I finished it and my customer was too!

Badges & Banners Card Set

Hello & Happy Friday!!

The July 4th holiday weekend is finally here!

The best part is...my hubby has the next 4 days off and i'm looking forward to it!

Today I have a set of cards to share with you that was a customer request. 

I ordered the Badges & Banners Bundle a few weeks ago for a birthday card made for a policeman. Surprisingly I have used this set more with the birdcage image than any other image from the set! I really expected it to be the least used but I was wrong! This is a wonderful bundle for the money and what's great about it is that it can be used for many types of cards!

Birdcage HB Card Set:

Stamps: Badges & Banners, Thoughtful Banners

Ink: Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder

Cardstock: Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Thick Whisper White, Succulent Garden DSP

Accessories: Duet Banner Punch, Badge Punch,  Rhinestones, Watermelon Wonder Doily, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So fun & easy to create!

I loved this card set especially the colors and my customer was thrilled with it!

I aim to please!

Thank God It's Friday!

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & make it a wonderful day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope everyone is well.

Took a few days off this past week and then yesterday I found my way back to my craft table.

I love playing along with the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge and here is my take on this week's layout.

I really wanted to use this birdcage image in the Badges & Banners stamp set so I pulled out this retired pack of Blooms & Bliss DSP to go with it. 

This is another pack of cards for my customer who asked for a pack with no sayings on it. 

Hope she likes these!

Tuesday Morning Sketches:

Stamps: Badges & Banners

Ink: Sahara Sand

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Blooms & Bliss DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Badge Punch, Rhinestones, Mint Macaron Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Glad I was able to use the Tuesday Morning Sketches to help design my cards!

If you haven't played along with their weekly sketches.....you really must check them out! They always have such great sketches!

My thoughts today....

Anyone have any fun plans this weekend?

We have had buckets of rain since last evening all in part thanks to Topical Storm Cindy. 

Hopefully the sun will make an appearance today so we can get out bikes out!

If not I have a card order to work on and a trip to the store for the usual, bread, milk & coffee!

Whatever you have planned today, I hope you make it a great day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Badges & Banners

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday the weather was absolutely FABULOUS!

Definitely my kind of weather....sunny & 70's with a nice breeze!

I think I had every window in the house open!

Today I have a quick card to share that is made for a police officer.

I know it's not Father's Day related but it is masculine and really all you'd have to do is change out the Happy Birthday sentiment on it.

I just recently got the Badges & Banners stamp set with coordinating punch and was dying to put it to good use! 

Enjoy Your Day Card:

Stamps: Badges & Banners, Designer Tee (SAB 17)

Ink: Dapper Denim

Cardstock: Dapper Denim, Basic Black, Whisper White, Everyday Chic DSP (retired)

Accessories: Best Badge Punch, Classic Label Punch, Modern Label Punch, Lucky Stars EF, Silver Brads, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I tried using the colors of what some police cars & uniforms look like. 

I hope my customer likes this since her grandson is a police officer.
