Kickstand Stocking Cards

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

It's a cold, rainy morning here in south central Pennsylvania. Some places are getting snow and well, truthfully, they can have it! I am not ready for winter weather!

Yesterday, I got so much of my Christmas goodies packaged and almost ready for the holiday season. I still have a few candy treats to make and then I need to get started on Audrey's card order for December. And in the mix I am having the girls over on Saturday morning to make our Thanksgiving cards! The card kits are already prepped & ready to go so that is one less thing to do but I am excited to see them!

Today I said I was moving on to Christmas since I have SO much to share with you!

My cards are a set that I made a few months ago. I am calling these my "kickstand style" of cards. I used the Sentimental Christmas DSP from last year on these. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Scottie (retired sentiment 2022)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Sentimental Christmas DSP (retired)

Accessories: Sentimental Wishes Dies (retired), Square Layering Framelits (retired), Traditional Sparkle Sequins, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These turned out so nice and have been packaged in a cello bag with 5 envelopes. I left the inside blank and if anyone is interested in purchasing them I can always add an inside sentiment of their liking.

Stamp Day Card #5

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Today I have the last card to share from Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends.

This one was a total case from Angie Juda. I just loved it!

This gatefold card was a bit hard to photograph because the doors kept wanting to come open. LOL But isn't that Scottie dog so stinkin cute?!

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Scottie

Ink: Polished Pink, Memento Black

Cardstock: Polished Pink, Basic White, Celebrate Everything DSP (hostess)

Accessories: Stamparatus, Scottie Dog Punch, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Scalloped Contour Dies, Jingle Bell Trinkets, White Twine, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That pretty snowflake paper comes from the Celebrate Everything Paper DSP that is a hostess item. It is loaded with all kinds of prints for many different holidays that could be used all year long! 

Yesterday was a really yukky day here. We did not get any snow just freezing rain that turned over to all rain. It poured most of the day and overnight. The sun is to make a return later today but we will see! 

I never got around to getting that puzzle out. I ended up going to my stamp table to work on gift cards that I need for Christmas gifts. I hope over the weekend to start it! 

How are you doing with your Christmas preparations?

Christmas Scottie #3

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I hope that your week is off to a great start!

Yesterday I finally got my house all straightened up and cleaned so that means today I can get back to my craft table to get some card kits created for my next Stamp Day w/ Friends get together! I have so many idea's running thru my head.

Today I have the last Christmas Scottie card to share with you!

Thanks to Marisa at Kitchen Table Stamper for offering this online Stamp A Stack.

I made these cards for Kelsey to give her co workers and she just loves that little dog!

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Scottie

Ink: Memento Black, Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron

Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Basic White, Santa Express DSP

Again on this card the dog, the presents and the ribbon images were all fussy cut and adhered with either Tombow or Dimensionals. 

I also created an Acetate Card Box for the cards...

So adorable!

Christmas Scottie

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

I hope your having a nice relaxing Thanksgiving weekend!

Yesterday we got Kelsey's stuff all put out in her room and stuff packed in totes and packed into the storage room. We actually had a nice supper last night and relaxed watching the Haul Out The Holly movie on the Hallmark Channel. If you know me you know I watch that channel 24/7. It just makes me happy even if I have seen a movie a thousand times!

Today is football day and Kelsey goes back to work after 2 days off.

 I am making a pot of chili on this rainy day then just chilling!

A few weeks ago I did a Stamp A Stack that Kitchen Table Stamper offered on her blog. It was a free class but you could also purchase the card packet to make them. I was going to purchase the card packet until I realized I had everything that she used in the pack. I sat and made my own so I could give to Kelsey to give her friends for Christmas. This is the 1st card in the Stamp A Stack....

Marisa comes up with some pretty cute things and this Stamp A Stack I loved just as much as the Sweet Gingerbread Stamp A Stack!

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Scottie

Ink: Memento Black, Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Poppy Parade, Basic White, Santa Express DSP

Accessories: Scottie Dog Punch, Circle Layering Framelits, Stylish Shapes Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Stamparatus, Evening Evergreen Ribbon, White Twine, Jingle Bell Trinkets, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the colors & prints in the DSP and that adorable dog!

I will be back tomorrow to share card #2.

It's so cute and this stamp set could be used for other occasions besides Christmas, too!

I love it!
