SaleABration Delicate Dahlia

 Hello & Happy Labor Day!

I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend!

It rained off & on all day yesterday.

We ran to get my haircut first thing in the morning then did a fun little trip in the afternoon down to Towson, MD. I think I yawned the whole way there & back because it was so dreary! Glad today it is to be sunny!

Not sure what is on my agenda today but after all the running around we did the last 3 days....sitting on my butt would be nice! LOL I do think my laundry basket is calling....sigh!

How are you spending your Labor Day holiday?

Today I have a card to share that I made for that card order I worked on last week.

I pulled out a stamp set from the 2nd SaleABration Catalog called Delicate Dahlia.

I love this set....just wish it had coordinating dies!

I was thinking ahead to Fall when I made this and used Pumpkin Pie ink and some Woodgrain DSP. Love how this turned out!

Card Details:

Stamps: Delicate Dahlia (SAB 21), Beautiful Day (sentiment, retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, In Good Taste DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Wrapped in Texture EF (retired), Frightful Tags Dies, White Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card along with the rest of the big order will get delivered one day this week.

I think she will love this one since nothing is popped up!

Beautiful Day Butterfly

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your having a good week!

Today I have another card to share made using retiring products.

Beautiful Day is the stamp set that has been in collection for a few years.

It's a fun one with easy to color images.

Also on my card I used the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder which is retiring too.

This is probably one of my most favorite embossing folders!

Sometimes I hate change! LOL

I stamped my butterfly image with Memento Black and then colored with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Rich Razzleberry Stampin Blends.

Then on the Rich Razzleberry section I put on a thin coat of Wink of Stella for some sparkle!

I really love the colors, don't you?!

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Accessories: Layered Leaves EF, Rich Razzleberry Enamel Dots (retired), Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon, Wink of Stella, Glue Dots, Dimensionals. Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stay tuned for tomorrow!

I have one more card to share that uses retiring products!

You won't want to miss it!

Beautiful Day

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

Yesterday was suppose to be my cleaning day but it ended up being a day I sat from 9 am till 10 pm last night putting together a puzzle that I started on Sunday afternoon.

I was determined to get this 1000 piece puzzle completed only to find that one piece was missing.

I picked it up at our local Goodwill store about a month or so ago and I loved the scene that was on it.

Shawn helped me wrap it up last night and by the time I was done I had such a pounding headache.

It's a beautiful puzzle but i'm sad that there is a piece missing.

Here is 2 pictures of the completed puzzle.

So today is a new day and i'm up early to get my housework done!

Yea, i'm not quite as chipper about that but it's one of those things that has to be done.

I do have a card to share today that I made last Friday.

It uses the Beautiful Day stamp set.

This set includes this pretty flower image and a lovely butterfly image with 2 sayings.

I have used the butterfly image many of times but this was the first time I used the flower.

I stamped it in Memento Black and colored my image in with my Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends. They are just as wonderful as the Copic Markers!

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day, Lilypad Lake (saying)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends 

Cardstock: Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick DSP

Accessories: Rhinestones, Lovely Lipstick 1/8 Grosgrain Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today I am expecting my Holiday Catalog preorder to arrive!

I'm excited about it especially since it was scheduled to arrive yesterday and it ended up in Baltimore!

How does that even happen!?

My thoughts today.....

Guess i'd better get to it!

Lots waiting on me.....

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a great day!

Beautiful Day, Indeed

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend so far!

Our weather here in south central PA has been gorgeous!

Last evening we got the bikes out for a 2nd evening. I love it when the weather is nice and we can get out and ride. It just soothes the soul! 

Today is to be a busy day but hopefully we will again be able to squeeze another bike ride in!

I have a card to share today that we made a week ago at my stamp get together.

This was probably hands down my most favorite card!

That big ole butterfly is from the Beautiful Day stamp set.

It was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. 

Do you see the shine from the embossing?

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Ink: Versamark, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Gold Foil Paper, Whisper White, Painted w/ Love DSP (retired)

Accessories: Washi Label Punch (retired), Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Gold Ribbon, Gold Metallic Enamel Dot, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

In the set there are some round spots that remind me of flowers. 

We stamped those in Versamark for a lighter look on the cardbase just for interest.

Emily said this was her favorite card from our Saturday get together!

Each time we get together she picks one that is her favorite and I have to totally agree on this one!

Hope you like it too!

Beautiful Day

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Today I am sharing a card set that I made for an order.

By now you know my customer sends ALOT of cards! She is 86 years young!

I say "young" because she has more of a social life than I do!

She does so much for her church & her family.....she is just a beam of sunshine all the time!

That is why I am always happy to make her whatever she needs!

These cards were SO much fun to make and actually came together pretty quickly!

My Bermuda Bay cardstock looks a bit washed out. My camera tends to get wonky sometimes with the colors. My pretty butterfly is embossed on Bermuda Bay cardstock with Clear Embossing Powder. The spots on each side of it are just stamped with Versamark. I wanted more of a waterprint look with the spots because I wanted that butterfly to really stand out. I hope I succeeded!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Ink: Versamark, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Bubbles & Fizz DSP (SAB)

Accessories: Clear EP., Heat Gun, Oval Layering Framelits, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think the colors in this DSP just make me smile!

Good thing I got more than 1 package of it!

That's all for now!

Happy Birthday Butterfly Set

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

They seem to go by rather quickly and before ya know it....it's Monday!

It's looking like a dreary, wet Monday here in PA and that's fine with me as long as it's not snow. 

I really could use a week of warm temps and lots of sunshine though!!

Today I have a pretty set of cards to share....almost reminds me of spring!

 

My customer asked for a pack of cards with butterflies on. I know I could have used the new butterfly in the Beautiful Day set but it was a bit to big for that panel so I opted to use a butterfly die from the Butterflies Thinlits. My DSP comes from the SaleABration Catalog 2018. I love the colors and prints in this pack of paper!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day (sentiment)

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Bubbles & Fizz DSP

Accessories: Butterflies Thinlits, Small Rhinestones, Lemon Lime Twist Striped Ribbon, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I LOVE making Z Fold style cards! 

Do you have a certain style of card that you enjoy making?

My thoughts today....

That's all on this Monday!
Thanks for stopping by & make it a great day!
