Art Gallery w/ Orchid Oasis

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

YAY! Finally a day I do not have anything planned which means I can do some stamping!

Finished up my chores yesterday and enjoyed the afternoon sitting outback on the glider watching the dogs. Bailee loves the warmth and exploring the yard after a long winter. Today I have a super pretty birthday card to share with you that I made for Audrey. I used the soon to be retired Art Gallery stamp set. It's been very loved in my craft arsenal the last year or so and will continue to be loved! 

I pulled the colors for my card from the Fancy Flora DSP that is very pretty and I wasn't sure how Audrey would feel about that Orchid Oasis flower but I personally loved it! She did too! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery

Ink: Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent

Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Petal Pink, Basic White, In Color Glimmer Paper (Orchid Oasis), Fancy Flora DSP

Accessories: Floral Gallery Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Basics 3D EF, Orchid Oasis Metallic Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another of my favorites that I am sad is retiring.

I will still be giving it lots of love, promise!

You're Amazing!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Burrrrr, the winds today are really gusting, making it feel colder!

Shawn did a quick trip down to Maryland this morning.

I passed and stayed in nice & cozy!

My card that I am sharing today was made for a customer for her Stampin Up! order!

I always try to make a special card for each customer who places an order and send a little thank you gift with it. It lets them know how much I appreciate them ordering through me!

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery, Special Moments (SAB 22)

Ink: Poppy Parade, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Basic White, Fine Art Floral DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tailor Made Tags Dies, Hives 3D EF, Floral Gallery Dies, Bumble Bee Trinkets, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another wonderful floral stamp set that I don't use very often.

While we are in the dreary, cold days of winter....these floral sets are bringing a bit of sunshine to my stamp room! I'll be using more florals in the days ahead since I need a few more Thank You cards for customers! Stay tuned!

Art Gallery Engagement

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice July 4th weekend!

We certainly had some beautiful weather to celebrate the USA!

I took a break from posting and spent most of my weekend at my stamp table getting inky. I worked ahead on some Halloween & Christmas things. I like to do this when I don't have other things on my plate.

Today I do have a card to share that I made awhile back for a card order.

My card lady ordered 4 engagement cards and this is one of them. I used the Art Gallery Bundle that is still current.

I pulled out my Art Gallery Suite of products to create this card. I haven't used it all that much since I had it. The papers are beautiful but now the Fine Art Floral DSP is retired.

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery, Love & Laughter (retired)

Ink: Pool Party, Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Basic White, Fine Art Floral DSP (retired)

Accessories: Floral Gallery Dies, Painted Texture 3D EF, Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Pool Party Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Floral Anniversary Set

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Today I have a set of Anniversary cards to share with you!

These are my favorites out of all the cards I just recently made for my card lady.

I pulled out my Art Gallery bundle for these...

I find these cards so refreshing with that pretty Fine Art Floral DSP!

I stamped my beautiful flower in Bumble Bee ink and diecut it with the Floral Gallery Dies. The stem & leaves were stamped in Mossy Meadow and diecut.

I popped them on with a couple of Dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from a really old Stampin Up! stamp set called Great Greetings.

I stamped it in Merry Merlot ink and diecut with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits. I added a Bumble Bee Enamel Dot to each card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery, Great Greetings (retired)

Ink: Merry Merlot, Bumble Bee, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Bumble Bee, Basic White, Fine Art Gallery DSP

Accessories:  Floral Gallery Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Bumble Bee Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

After I finished these I really did not want to sell them but I knew my card lady would do me proud and send every one of these beauties to people she knows!

And let me tell you, she made a big deal out of them when I delivered them to her recently! I'm so glad that I bring her a little bit of joy each month with the cards she requests. She's such a sweetheart!

Card #4

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

A rainy day is on tap here today!

We've had a nice run on sunshine and warm temps the last several days but we need the rain.

I'm still dealing with my sinus headache so I plan to get out the Neti Pot to see if that will help!

I have card #4 from my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together to share.

This one we used the Art Gallery set from the 2021 January - June Mini Catalog.

This card uses the 2019=2021 In Color, Purple Posy that will be retiring next month.

It is our lightest shade of purple and a pretty one but a color I hardly ever reached for.

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery 

Ink: Old Olive, Purple Posy, Highland Heather

Cardstock: Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Whisper White, Purple Posy DSP (retired)

Accessories: Ornate Layers Dies, Floral Gallery Dies, Ornate Garden Ribbon Pack, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am going to keep this short again today and head back to bed.

I wanted to stamp today but that can wait until another day!

This picture explains it all with the swirls around my head!

Sinus headaches are the pits!

Lots of rain, sleet & some snow mixed  made for a sloppy mess!

Kelsey & Shady came over to stay a few days since she has a few days off.

I may try to get her to do some stamping with me! 

Today I have a fun Thank You card to share!

It's beautiful!
