Thanksgiving Cards from Stamp Day

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Kelsey & Sushi arrived yesterday afternoon and the weather was so nice (65 degrees) so we took a long walk around the neighborhood. I got all the yummy things made for our Thanksgiving dinner then we had a line of thunderstorms come thru which then brought in the cold, gusty winds. This morning it's pretty cold. We are gonna watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade then Kelsey has to go to work. They are serving Thanksgiving dinner today (reservations only) and last seating is at 3pm. We will have our dinner around 5 today. I got my Christmas tree up yesterday but not decorated yet. I may pick at it today if I have time. Sushi isn't quite sure what to think of the tree. It's all new to him!

Recently, I had a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together and I am going to share those cards today!

Treat Bags

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a quick post for you!

Last Wednesday you may remember I made a sweet treat to give to Audrey as a Thank You using the Harvest Hello stamp set that is long retired. I know Audrey loves that set especially the pumpkin! Monday she asked me to make 2 of her friends the same treat bag but instead of using the apple if I could use the pumpkin. Ok, no problem but you do know that the candy in the bag is apple, right? She said yes, I know. 

So, here are the same bags with the pumpkin instead of the apple!

Project Details:

Stamps: Caring Leaves, Harvest Hello (retired)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green

Accessories: Apple Builder Punch (retired), Tailor Made Tags Dies, Cello Bags, Ribbon from stash, White Twine, Champagne Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love making treats and these came together pretty quick!

Apple Treat

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a sweet treat to share with you!

About 6 weeks ago I purchased a bag of the Ghiradelli Caramel Apple Squares at the grocery store. They are SO good! I put a few of them into a yummy little treat to give to Audrey when I saw her last evening. I used a 4 x 6 cello bag that I had on hand and also added a handful of the Werther's Caramel Apple Hard Candies, too! I used a tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies and the apple from the Harvest Hello's set that is retired. This stamp set with it's coordinating punch is one I use quite often and I know Audrey loves the Apple/pumpkins it creates! I used the Caring Leaves stamp set which is current now in the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog for the sentiment on my tag. To close the bag i used some old green & white striped ribbon & some white twine. Lastly, I added some rhinestones because everything needs a bit of sparkle, right? So, I gave this to Audrey last evening as a little Thank You for her card order. She just loved it and it was good to see her smile.

Card Details:

Stamps: Harvest Hello's (retired), Caring Leaves

Ink: Real Red, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Basic White

Accessories: Apple Builder Punch (retired), Tailor Made Tags Dies, Cello Bag, Ribbon from stash, White Twine, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Audrey is still dealing with her Shingles. She is on medications which she says helps take the edge off the pain & burning feeling. Other than that she seems to be doing well and chipper as usual. I told her that I will continue to keep her in my thoughts & prayers in the days ahead. 

Today I have some preparing to do for World Cardmaking Day which is on Saturday October 5th. I am going to try to get Deb & Miss Emily over to make a few cards. We have not stamped together since before Christmas last year. I will have to see what I can whip up!
