 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you had a nice weekend!

Shawn is back to work today so I have alot on my agenda to get done.

I have a set of cards to share with you today that uses the Peaceful Deer set that came out in last years 2021 July-December Mini Catalog. This year it carried into the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog which I was happy to see! It has a coordinating punch too!

I used this set last year several times and i'm thrilled to use it again!

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Deer

Ink: Soft Suede, Garden Green

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Be Dazzling Specialty Paper (SAB 21), Peaceful Prints DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Deer Builder Punch, Garden Green Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombw Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Also I wanted to give you a quick update on my card lady!

She called yesterday and sounded in good spirits!

Surgery went very well, she was able to come home on Friday but was pretty sick from the anesthesia up until yesterday. Right now food isn't appealing but she is getting somethings in her. Surgeon suggested walking as much as she can tolerate so blood clots don't form and also resting and pushing fluids. She has a return appointment this week. She said she will be in touch soon. I was relieved to here from her as she has been on my mind all weekend. 

Please continue to keep Audrey in your thoughts & prayers in the days ahead if you wouldn't mind. Thank you!

Peaceful Deer Kit Kat Box

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a sweet treat to share that I whipped up using some Peaceful Prints DSP (from SAB 2021) and the Peaceful Deer Bundle.

I started out with the 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 Acetate Boxes that Stampin Up! carries.

These are for the 3 x 3 mini cards but I think many use them for treat boxes.

I covered my clear box with a piece of DSP that just wraps completely around my box. I believe this measure 2 3/4 x 9. I used some Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere my paper on. Then added a Wonderful Snowflake to the box using the same glue. Next I did my stamping. I stamped my deer onto Crumb Cake cardstock with Early Espresso ink and punched the deer out using the Deer Builder Punch. I then stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set using Garden Green ink. I diecut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Framelits. My deer and sentiment are all popped up with Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Garden Green Glittered Enamel Dots that are retired. I love these treat holders and make for a nice stocking stuffer! Each treat box holds 4 of the Bite Sized Kit Kats. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Deer

Ink: Early Espresso, Garden Green

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Basic White, Peaceful Prints DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Deer Builder Punch, 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 Acetate Boxes, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Wonderful Snowflakes, Garden Green Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

As much as I enjoy making the treats for each holiday, I've come to realize that my hands cannot do this anymore. They have been bothering me for weeks if not months now. I have decided that this will be the last holiday that I have treats to sell. I will continue on with making cards until I have to make the decision to stop that as well. I've never had my hands hurt before like what I've been experiencing. I will be talking to my doctor at my next checkup.

Another busy day on tap for me and hopefully tomorrow it won't be so bad.

I'm trying to finish up Christmas cards, get my candy treats priced and get back to working on my calendars. It's no wonder my hands hurt.

Today I have card #4 from my Christmas card order of 8 slimline cards.

This is another card using the Peaceful Deer stamp set & punch.
