 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Today is Kelsey's 33rd birthday! 

She is my youngest and the baby of the family. 

Just don't know where the time has gone! 

Here is a picture from Sunday when we all went to the Rail Trail for a bike ride. 

It was a fun day! 💗💗💗

Today my card is using lots retired products (as usual) but I am trying so hard to use what's in my stash. This retired Magnolia Lane DSP was one of my favorites. I have a whole complete pack of it plus another pack that is just about used up. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts (retired Million Dollar Achiever Set 2021)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow, Basic White. Magnolia Lane DSP (retired 2020)

Accessories: Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Low Profile Petal Pink Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today we are in for thunderstorms which will cool things down for the remainder of the week. We are in for a cool, rainy Memorial Day weekend which I'm ok with! LOL

This recent heatwave was a bit much for me.

Happy Birthday, Kelsey Lynn!

Paisley Birthday Set

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

We're waking up to a gusty wind and some cold temps this morning. Burrr!

Today I have a set of birthday cards to share that I made a few weeks ago using up a sheet of paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby). I'm not sure how long it's been in my paper stash but I wanted to use it up. It matches the Boho Blue cardstock nicely!

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts (retired)

Ink: Boho Blue

Cardstock: Boho Blue, Basic White, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Perennial Postage Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies (retired), White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Boho Blue In Color Dots (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This set has 6 cards in it so I could use up an entire 12x12 sheet of paper. Right now they are sitting in my bin waiting to get put into a cello bag and put on the card rack. 

Yesterday I finished up going thru all my stamp sets and adding them to lists along with the date the set came out so I can always reference the catalog for idea's as well. That was a pain staking job that took me 5 days to do but it will help me in the long run to use long retired stamps that collected dust over the years!

Today it's back to getting inky and working on Audrey's order!

WooHoo!

Thinking of You Card Set

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is going well so far!

Yesterday we got to a HOT 93 degrees with high humidity which made it feel pretty horrible outside. Storms came thru around supper time which knocked out our electric and our cable/internet. Thankfully, it was back on before we went to bed. Today we are in for some rain that will take the humidity away! YAY!

I have another set of blueberry cards to share today!

These were also requested by my card lady.

She said I made her a gift bag earlier this year with the Berry Delightful DSP and that is why she asked for the paper with the blueberries on!

I left the paper do all the work on these!

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts

Ink: Pacific Point

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Basic White, Berry Delightful DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Tasteful Labels Dies, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card lady loved them!

I told her that my stash of blueberry paper is just about gone. 

Only a few scraps remain. 

With what's left I may make some notepads or some Post It Notes!

Variety Cards

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday turned out to get pretty hot & kinda sticky here!

Ended up putting Ryan's air conditioner in last evening because he did not sleep too good the night before. Hopefully that will help him!

We got the bikes out last evening, too! 

I peddled my butt off for 7 miles and only took 1 water break!

 

Today I have a couple of cards to share that I made up one day last week.

I did a variety...

This design came from the Kitchen Table Stamper's Wonder Recipes and I have been using them for the last several weeks!

I love the look of the different sheets of DSP and the added elements.

This one uses a retired butterfly die called Bold Butterfly Framelits.

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: So Saffron, Basic White, Butterfly Bijou DSP

Accessories: Bold Butterfly Framelits, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Tasteful Labels Dies, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My sheets of DSP measure 2x3 just incase your wondering!

Then just randomly place them on.

I love how these turned out!

Timeless Tulips

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing another set of cards that my card lady requested for Spring.

Tulips with the Thinking of You sentiment! Done!

Aren't they pretty?!

I started with a Daffodil Delight cardbase then another layer of Daffodil Delight that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. I really like the texture that this embossing folder gives!

My next layer is a small scrap of Daffodil Delight Gingham DSP from the Gingham Gala DSP which is retired. I adhered that DSP to my layer of Whisper White that was run thru the Big Shot with the Nature's Thoughts Dies. It has such pretty stitching around it! I stamped that panel with the stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. On Whisper White scraps I stamped my tulips in Daffodil Delight ink and punched it out with the coordinating Tulip Builder Punch. 

I stamped my sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set which is from the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog and diecut it out with the Circle Layering Framelits.  I popped my sentiment up with Dimensionals and added some rhinestones for sparkle to finish them up!

Card Details:

Stamps: Timeless Tulips, Happy Thoughts (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Gingham Gala DSP (retired)

Accessories: Nature's Thoughts Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Tulip Builder Punch, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope you like these as much as I do!

They definitely scream Spring!

Happy Thoughts

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

I have a set of pretty cards to share with you today!

I made these for on my card rack using some new things.

That pretty paper is from this year's 2021 SaleABration catalog called Flower & Field DSP.

It has some gorgeous prints & colors in it.

My sentiment is from the January-June Mini Catalog and is a Million Dollar Achiever stamp set by Jackie Boulhuis. I love this one!

I kept these simple and flat for easy mailing.

I'm sure my card lady will grab these as soon as she sees them so I don't expect them to stay on my card rack very long!

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Flower & Field DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
