Epic Celebration HB

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Sorry for the late update today!

Yesterday was a busy day as Miss Bailee had a Vet appt in the morning. We waited 40 minutes for the Vet to come in the room and needless to say she was not very patient waiting. He examined her, listened to her heart and refilled her steroid meds. Did not really have much to say other than he is happy to see her doing so well and he won't be changing up her diet since it's working for her. He spent 10 minutes in the room with us and we were out the door. 

We got her home, had lunch then we headed out to do some errands. Back home by supper time then we took Miss Bailee out for a walk. We did 2 laps around the neighborhood on our bikes then home to watch our Baltimore Ravens 1st preseason football game against the Eagles. Wasn't sure what to expect since our team has made alot of changes over the off season. They got a win and played some great football. 24-7! It was late when the game was over and I could hardly keep my eyes open. So, I slept in this morning since they are calling for a rainy/stormy day. It might just be a pajama day for me!!

So my card that I am sharing today is made with a retired SaleABRation set called Epic Celebration. I need some teen cards on my card rack so I reached for this set and got busy!

Card Details:

Stamps: Epic Celebration (SAB 2018), Sketched Plaid Background (retired 2023), Biggest Wish (retired 2021)

Pets & More HB

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Today I have a sweet little birthday card to share that is for the cat lover in your life.

I was going thru my card rack recently and noticed that my "cat & dog birthday" slot was empty. I decided to grab my Pets & More stamp set and got busy on refilling that slot. This card uses the cat stamp and I paired it with some A Little Latte paper. It turned out so cute!

Card Details:

Stamps: Pets & More (retired Online Exclusives), Turtle & Friends (retired sentiment)

Ink: Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, Basic White, A Little Latte DSP (retired Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Dotted Circles 3D EF, Corrugated Elements (retired), Calypso Coral Shimmer Gems (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Pets & More stamp set is no longer available but it was on the Online Exclusives list last year. It is a reversable stamp which means you can stamp one side in a light solid color then flip it over for a more detailed image that gets stamped overtop of the solid image. So fun and what a neat idea! Plus I love that this set is photopolymer so you can see where your stamping with it! Win win!

This card is now on my card rack for sale.

One More Year

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

It's been a very busy last few days and since we have a rainy day upon us I am taking it easy today! We did so much yard work over the weekend and every muscle in our body hurts just to even walk. It's tough when you use muscles you didn't know you had! LOL Thru it all we've still been getting our steps in with walking each day!

Today I wanted to share a card I was playing around with last week. As I was patiently waiting on my Stampin Up! order to arrive (the first order from the new catalog) I started playing with the NEW In Colors for 2025-2027. The new colors are, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger. If you've been around Stampin Up for a number of years you may remember that Strawberry Slush was an In Color back in 2013-2015. It has made it's way back in to our color palette this year! It's a pretty color of pink and one that was much welcomed in my opinion. I do love that Stampin Up! is bringing back retired colors. I still have so many colors, inks & cardstocks in my stash from way back in 2001 and was thrilled that last year they brought back Pretty in Pink again! Anyways, here's a card that I was picking at one day last week using our new In Colors and I paired it with the now retired One More Year stamp set from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog.

Card Details:

Stamps: One More Year (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Pumpkin Pie, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Strawberry Slush, Versamark

Cardstock: Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Basic White, Darling Duckling, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger

Accessories: Dotted Circles 3D EF, Stylish Shapes Dies, Square Layering Framelits (retired), Heat Gun, White Embossing Powder, White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Cloud Cover In Color Flat Pearls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was inspired by a card that Ange McKay created with using the In Color cardstocks & the Dotted Circles 3D EF for that background panel. I loved how her card turned out & had to give it a try! It's quite colorful!

Well, I need to get my day started even though I was up at 4am.

Breakfast is calling and so is my stamp table!

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Happy to say that my time at my stamp table this weekend helped me get all the things finished! I need to call Audrey to see when it's a good time to drop off her order and that's about it. I hope now I can sit and play for myself. I'm looking forward to using some of my new goodies and working on filling up my card rack.

My card today uses the Mixed Florals Bundle from the Online Exclusives. I love the DSP!

Card Details:

That's alot of coloring but that's why I only made this one card.
