Thanks Snow Much

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

Yes, it's yet another rainy, dreary morning in Pennsylvania!

I feel alittle unmotivated this morning with all this gloominess.

It's been dreary here since Saturday, almost to the point of depressing. Yesterday we took a walk and I had to wear a sweater. Totally unheard of for June 15th! I think today will be another sweater kind of day as I have to go out in this later today for a doctor appointment. I hope by then the rain/drizzle stops. 

Anyways, I did get some stamping in over the weekend. I went thru some of my slots on the card rack and realized I only had 2 Christmas Thank You cards there. I thought while I have the time I better get more made. I went thru my image box and found a bunch of these stamped off snowmen and just ran with it! This snowman is from a retired stamp set called Thanks Snow Much that I borrowed from my friend, Deb, years & years ago. It's time to use these images up!

I always enjoy coloring these snowman and turning them into cards!

Card Details:

Stamps: Thanks Snow Much (retired), Snowman Magic (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Mossy Meadow, Stampin Blends-Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, Mossy Meadow

I know it's quite early to be thinking about the holidays but I was reminded to get started on holiday cards early as Christmas in July is just right around the corner! Usually the whole month of July I do Christmas stuff but i'm not sure if I can get that accomplished this year although I am gonna try! 

Atleast now there is one more Christmas Thank You card added to my card slot. Hoping I can get maybe 2 more made.

Christmas Thank You's

Good Morning & Happy Friday!

It's another rainy, dreary Friday here in PA.

I seen on the news that we had 27 Fridays for the entire 2018 year that it rained!

Crazy!

Today I have 2 different Christmas Thank You Card Sets to share.

These were apart of that huge order I did back before Christmas.

These use the Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes.

The first set uses a sentiment from the Daisy Delight stamp set.

Paper is from the Dashing Along DSP.

This 2nd set uses a sentiment from the Dashing Deer stamp set.

Paper is All is Calm DSP that is retired.

The cardstock is a retired In Color from several years ago, Lost Lagoon.

I put alot of work into the 2nd set since I cut the DSP with the smallest Stitched Square Shaped Framelit. It helped to use up more DSP that I seem to hoard! LOL

I still have 1 more pack to make for my customer but it is going to wait until after the beginning of the new year. I am still giving my hands a break....

A Christmas Thank You

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Now that all the holiday hoopla is over and things are calming down it's time to think about getting the Thank You cards made & sent. This one is simple and quick to whip up!

I had this Stampendous stamp in my collection quite a few years so i'm not sure if it's still available.

I stamped it in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. Then I layered it on top of a Martha Stewart Doily that was in my stash. I don't think they are available anymore but I could be wrong. Really though, any doily would work!

My Real Red panel is cut to fit on my Thick Whisper White cardbase. I used an embossing folder from The Paper Studio with Holly Leaves & Berries on it to emboss it. I adhered it to my cardbase then added my sentiment panel with a dimensional to finish it up!

Sometimes less is more and i'm starting to like that concept!

Christmas Thank You Card:

Stamps: Stampendous

Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White (cardbase), Real Red, Whisper White, MS Doily

Accessories: Circle Punch, The Paper Studio Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Have any of you put your Christmas decorations away yet?

Monday we worked most of the day to get it all taken down & put away. I use to let it up until after the New Year but the last few years it has come down the day after Christmas.

I love Christmas but now i'm ready for life to get back to normal.

It sure is dark in the evenings now with no Christmas lights!
