Merriest Wishes

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Today I am sharing a fun fold card that I made last summer for Christmas. 

Sadly, I never got around to sharing it here. It uses all things retired...

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Magic (retired 2016)

Ink: Real Red, Memento Black,  Stampin Blends-Real Red, Smoky Slate, Copic Marker-YG62

Cardstock: Soft Sky (retired In Color), Real Red, Basic White, Nordic Noel DSP (retired 2014)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, (retired), Something Fancy Dies (retired), Soft Sky In Color Ribbon (retired), Pool Party Glossy Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I loved this card! Someone bought it last year so I was happy about that!

That pretty Nordic Noel DSP sadly went in my last clean out a few months ago so I may try to recreate this card with some new DSP. I love snowmen cards for Christmas!

Framed Violets Swap Cards

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

It's heating up here in PA! 

We've been pretty fortunate so far this season with not too many days of very hot temps but this week we could easily hit the 100 degree mark with high humidity. Probably won't be too much walking this week especially for Miss Bailee as she does not tolerate the heat well and honestly, neither do I! Last evening after we walked Bailee, Shawn & I walked around the neighborhood. I was a sweat puddle!! Blah!!

Today's card is made with a new suite of products that will be available tomorrow on the Stampin Up!'s Online Exclusives called Framed Violets. Beautiful collection of products that immediately caught my eye! This fun fold card was my swap card with my Stampin Up! team mates. I made & mailed out 14 of these cards. This is the 2nd time I joined in their swaps. It's so cool to see the cards you get in return from the team mates!

Card Details:

Stamps: Framed Violets (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Memento Black, Peaceful Pines, Stampin Blends-Highland Heather, Peaceful Pines

Cardstock: Highland Heather, Peaceful Pines, Basic White, Violet Dreams DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Framed Violet Dies (Online Exclusives), Lovely Arrangements Dies (Online Exclusives), Wink of Stella, Peaceful Pines In Color Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I also wanted to update you on the puzzle I was working on last week.

I finished it up Saturday evening without Kelsey's help.

It was a tough one but I pushed thru and got it done. It's so pretty!

I will share pictures tomorrow!

Flowering Meadow & the Tesla Event

 Hello & Happy Monday, Friends!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Here in Pennsylvania we had some gorgeous weather!

Saturday, we attended a Tesla event that we were invited to. It was very nice and I will say that the people that had this event have a beautiful farm out in the country in Gettysburg. They also have blueberries for picking but sadly they said the frost earlier this spring did them in. We walked thru the blueberry bushes and the berries were pretty sparce. I was disappointed but nonetheless we had a great time! Here are a few pictures...

The views from the pool area were amazing, too!

Ok, now on to my card for today!

Card Details:

Stamps: Flowering Meadow

Ink: Berry Burst, Peaceful Pines (New In Color)

Cardstock: Peaceful Pines (New In Color), Berry Burst, Basic White, Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Square Layering Framelits (retired), Peaceful Pines In Color Dots, Peaceful Pines Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have had the DSP for a bit now and only just recently got the Flowering Meadow bundle. 

The DSP is beautiful with lots of velvet throughout!

Father's Day Bridge Fold

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today Shawn & I are headed to Gettysburg to a Tesla event. I really did not want to go but Shawn asked me to go along since I never go to any of them. Ryan is on dog duty today while we are away but we are only an hour away from home if need be. Anyways, I am looking forward to some time away and picking blueberries! And our weather is to be pleasantly nice!

Since it is Father's Day weekend I have a really fun fold card to share with you.

I made this one for the bin which will go on the card rack eventually. I used the retired Gone Fishing suite that retired a few years ago.

Card Details:

Stamps: Gone Fishing (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color)

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color), Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Gone Fishing Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Rustic Metallic Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This style of card is SO easy to make & fun!

It folds flat to mail and I just love how to it stands to be displayed.

I think Shawn would have really liked this one but I was late on making it and Ryan already picked a card for him.

Today I am having fun playing with squares! 

I have been seeing lots of cards lately that uses different sizes of square and decided to play with some scraps and use up my 1x1 inch squares! I pulled out some retired It's My Party DSP from 2016. It was a huge 12x12 paper stack that I shared half with my friend and I'm still working on using my half.

Card Details:

Stamps: Balloon Adventures (retired 2017)

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Basic White, It's My Party DSP (retired 2016)

I really love how these turned out with those fun colors & papers!

Who knew you could have so much fun and create different looks with squares!

This is the template that I used for building my cards and I can say that I will be doing this again! 

Hope you will give this a try!
