Thinking of You Set

 Hello & Happy Friday!

YAY! We made it to the weekend!

They are calling for a cloudy, rainy weekend here in PA with temps in the 50's!

The snow is melting at a pretty good clip and hopefully we don't get anymore this season.

Spring is around the corner!

Today I am sharing another set of cards that were made for that card order last week.

My card lady wanted something with green in it.

I think she was thinking ahead to it being the month of St Patrick's Day.

I pulled out a very old pack of paper called Print Poetry DSP. 

I don't have much of it left so it's important that I try to get it used up!

I only had a few scraps of these 2 different sheets of DSP left and cut them down to where I could use them for 5 cards. I pulled the colors from the DSP to create my cards.

I started with a Midnight Muse cardbase then a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. It is my favorite!

Then I used a piece of Gumball Green cardstock which I layered my scraps of Print Poetry DSP on.

I tied some Very Vanilla Baker's Twine around it with a bow to finish it.

The sentiment comes from the Framed For You stamp set that is in the Stampin Up! Annual Catalog.

I stamped it with Midnight Muse ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.

Then I diecut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and layered it onto a piece of Midnight Muse that I diecut with the Oval Layering Dies.

Card Details:

Stamps: Framed for You (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Midnight Muse (retired)

Cardstock: Midnight Muse (retired), Gumball Green (retired), Very Vanilla, Print Poetry DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Very Vanilla Baker's Twine, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Do you remember these old In Colors?

It always feels good to use up those older products but I also like to mix it with new things, too!

My card lady was pleased with them and said she loved the print of the DSP!

With Sympathy Gatefold Card

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Saturday into Sunday we finally got some nice rain! It also got cooler & less humid out which i'm thrilled about. I think we are in for a nice week ahead that I can turn off the ac and let the windows open! YAY!!!

Today I am sharing card #2 from my Stamp Day w Friends get together!

Take a look...

This is such a fun fold and very easy to create!

I've been trying to make more cards with fun folds for a change.

This card uses a variety of things which I will list below in the card details.

Card Details:

Stamps: Framed For You, Here's A Card (inside)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Bumble Bee

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Bumble Bee, Whisper White, Forever Greenry DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Wrapped in Texture EF, Bumble Bee Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The stamp set I used on this is called Framed for You. 

It is a million dollar achiever set created by Terri Gaines.

I love the sentiments included as well as the different images! 

It is also a Distinktive set.

The embossing folder I used on the larger circle layer is from the August-December catalog.

It comes from the Heartwarming Hugs Suite on pages 8-10.

Granted I had everything cut & embossed but this card came together very quickly!

All the girls had to do was the stamping and assembling!

This was my favorite card!

Jar of Flowers & Framed for You

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Our weather today is cloudy with showers off & on all day.

Definitely much cooler but still muggy.

Shawn is off today and tomorrow so we might try to get a bike ride in as long as we do not get any thunderstorms. It's been almost a year since we last had our bikes out so this trip will most likely kill both of us! LOL

Today I have a set of cards to share that I made for my card lady.

I always show her the cards I make and she saw one from a week or so ago and asked if I could make her a pack of sympathy cards using the the same design.

I used the Jar of Flowers stamp set and those pretty sunflower stamps in the set.

I used a template that I made with a Post It Note to mask the jar so the top of it did not stamp over the flowers. It's a quick & simple tip when using this set. I stamp my flower image on the sticky part of the Post It Note then trim around the flowers. I keep them in my stamp case for the next time I need to use it. 

My flowers were colored with Stampin Blends then I covered them with a bit of Wink of Stella for a shimmery look.

The tag is made with the Ornate Frames Dies and I added a piece of Linen Thread that I tied into a bow. The sentiment comes from the set Framed for You which is a Million Dollar Achiever set designed by Terri Gaines. A really cool set which you will see me use alot in the coming days!

Card Details:

Stamps: Jar of Flowers, Framed for You

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends, Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Bumble Bee DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Ornate Frames Dies, Wink of Stella, Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots of coloring on these but I took my time and spread it out over a few days so my hands did not hurt.

I love the jar and flower sets we have this year probably because I love sunflowers!

I'm not sure what's going on with Blogger today!

I know they have been redoing their websight.

I have not had any issues until today!

Been trying to get my pictures loaded and put them in the right column but it's not cooperating so I apologize that my photo's are all over the place.

I hate change so sometimes I wish they would leave things alone!!

That's all for now!

Gonna pack up our bikes and take a short ride!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
