Sweet Candy Canes

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I hope your all doing well and survived the Thanksgiving Day & Black Friday shopping!

Thanksgiving was low keyed but the food was so good! 

My pumpkin pie was the highlight! YUM!

We worked most of Thanksgiving to get decorations out.

 The kitchen is done and only yesterday did I get my Christmas tree up.

Shawn spent all day with Kelsey moving her home. Her lease was up at the apartment and she said she did not want to renew it. Her & Corey have decided to go there separate ways. This did not come to any surprise to us as she has talked about it for several months now.

Yesterday she took over the extra bedroom once again which was once her room. Her dog, Shady is doing pretty good with the change but Bailee isn't too happy to have him living here which I am sure in time will get better. He's a very high strung Jack Russell and she is complete opposite of that. I think in time Kelsey will find another place to move to that is close to her work so for the time being we are all adjusting to the change. 

Today Shawn has to go into work for a bit to look at a machine while nothing is running. I will be putting the last few ceramic Christmas trees out and calling it a day!

Yesterday our power was out for a good while. There was an accident close by that took out a electrical pole. So this girl is beyond tired and may need a nap by early afternoon!

So, enough on the chit chat....let's get to some cards!

For these cards I used the Sweet Candy Cane bundle which was a pleasant surprise!

It was the first thing I ordered back in July from the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog.

These cards are the same except the sentiment was stamped in a different color and the ribbon was different.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweet Candy Canes

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Basic White, Sweetest Christmas DSP

Accessories: Candy Canes Dies, Whimsical Woodland 3D EF, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Real Red & Garden Green Linen Ribbon, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The candy canes were diecut from the Sweetest Christmas DSP which is a pretty pack of paper this year! I have used lots of it on cards & treats!

That looked like me yesterday dragging my artificial tree up the basement steps! LOL

It was no easy feat!

Candy Cane Wishes

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend and stayed cool!

The weather here in PA was pretty harsh as temps got to the upper 90's with high humidity.

I'm ready for a nice cool down!

Storms are in the forecast today which I hope cools things down.

Today I am using the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set for my Christmas in July card.

I love those big candy canes that were diecut with the Candy Cane Dies. There is a whole sheet of these printed Candy Canes in the Sweetest Christmas DSP....well actually 2.

That helps to create a quick & easy cards!

I personally think this bundle is one of the nicest because it is loaded with sayings and some images that go great with the DSP!

Christmas Cheer

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

I hope you having a great holiday weekend!

I got some stamp time in yesterday while it was grossly hot & humid outside.

Shawn was washing and waxing his new car! 

We now have 3 vehicles sitting in the driveway when only 1 of us drives.

I really think he missed his calling to be a car dealer in life! LOL

Today I have another card to share for my Christmas in July series!

This one is another favorite. It uses the Sweet Candy Cane Bundle.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweet Candy Canes

Ink: Sweet Sorbet, Garden Green

Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet, Blushing Bride, Basic White, Sweetest Christmas DSP

Accessories: Seasonal Labels Dies, Candy Cane Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Wintry 3D EF, White Glittered Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I ordered this DSP and just love the prints & colors in it!

There are also Candy Cane prints that can be diecut out which is one thing I love that Stampin Up! does. The Candy Canes on this card were diecut out.

Tonight is Red Lion's fireworks show.

We usually do not watch them because Gigi was afraid of the loud booms, however, Bailee is not so we may try to sit on the front porch to watch. We have a clear view of them since they set them off at the high school which is close by!

I hope the mosquito's don't eat me alive! Hate those things!
