Retiring Stamp Day #33

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

It's the start of a new month and I hope it's good to all of us!

My hubby got up early this morning and went fishing. I made my cup of coffee and sat on the back porch as the sun was coming up. I love sitting out there when the weather is nice. Such a peaceful, quiet time drinking my coffee and watching the birds. 

Rain is moving in this afternoon so i'm enjoying the sunshine while it's here!

Today is day #33 of sharing a retiring Stampin Up! stamp set.

I am using the very loved In Symmetry set from page 113 of the Stampin Up! Annual Catalog!

I am sad to see this one go! 

It also has a coordinating Symmetrical Stems Border Punch.

I made this into a Corner Fold card and used the Sweet Symmetry DSP on it which is also leaving us. This has really been one of my favorite suite of products over the last year and I am going to continue to use it and get that pack of paper used up eventually!

Card Details:

Stamps: In Symmetry

Ink: Just Jade, Bumble Bee, Flirty Flamingo, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Bumble Bee, Just Jade, Basic White, Sweet Symmetry DSP

Accessories: Symmetrical Stems Border Punch, Circle Layering Framelits, Hippo & Friends Dies, Gold Gilded Gems, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Thanks So Much

 Hello & Happy Monday, Everyone!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Today I have another set of cards that I made up using the same Parts & Pieces Challenge that I used on yesterday's blog post.

I pulled out my In Symmetry Suite and got to work.

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardbase that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. This is my favorite embossing folder because I like the texture it gives to my card without alot of attention on it. Next I cut 3 different DSP patterns from the Sweet Symmetry DSP 3 x 5 and I cut them in half at 2 1/2. I used 2 different patterns on each card.

I stamped my flowers and sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set and diecut them with the Circle Layering Framelits. I layered that onto a Scalloped Circle with Bumble Bee cardstock. Lastly, I added some Iridescent Rhinestones (SO PRETTY) and a Just Jade bow on each.

I love these so much.....you will probably see me using these designs on many card sets to come!

Card Details:

Stamps: In Symmetry

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee, Just Jade, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee, Basic White, Sweet Symmetry DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Just Jade Ribbon (retired), Iridescent Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is a great way to use up scraps!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Burrrr, did it ever get cold & windy yesterday!

I have another set of cards to share today that was in my card lady's order.

This set uses the In Symmetry Suite of products from the Stampin Up 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I have not used this set much and since I had it out my desk to do my calendars, I thought I would use it for this set, too!

Card Details:

In Symmetry Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Sunday Funday, right?

This morning we were up early, had our coffee & muffin out on the back porch watching the sun come up, before it started to heat up!

Then we made a quick trip to Lancaster and back. The heat & humidity is back.

Not going to feel like Fall this week so my ac is back on for atleast this week.

We ran out to get a Fall planter to sit out at the garage door and some pumpkins. It has a mix of Fall ornamental grass & mums in the pot and looks so nice.

Shawn has been parking in the front yard since we cannot drive on the driveway until next week. 12 days of not parking in the garage is about killing him as he always keeps the truck in the garage. I guess it's a man thing! LOL

Today I have another card to share that I made for the young woman waiting in Philly to deliver her baby. Audrey loved this card!

She asked for some that had a thinking of you saying on and some that had no saying. I love the colors in this paper and thought it would work well for early Fall.

Card Details:

Stamps: In Symmetry

Ink: Bumble Bee, Just Jade

Cardstock: Just Jade, Bumble Bee, Basic White, Sweet Symmetry DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Seasonal Labels Dies, Genial Gems, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Speaking of Audrey, today is her 91st birthday!

She is blessed in so many ways and said she never thought she'd live to see 91.

I'm sure today she is celebrating with her family!

Happiest Birthday Wishes, Audrey! 💓

In Symmetry Note Pad

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Today it's to get into the 90's so I am going to be staying in and soaking up the cool air! Hoping to get some stamp time in and maybe a small nap, too!

I have a cute project to share today!

This Note Pad came to me from my upline & friend, Vicki Burdick to congratulate me on my sales in April. 

I loved the size of this and that beautiful Hydrangea paper!

Thank You, Vicki! I love it!

So, of course, I had a pack of these notepads in my stash and had to make my own!

I pulled out the In Symmetry stamp set and got to work!

I started with my pack of Sweet Symmetry DSP and started with the colors in my paper. Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee and Just Jade are the colors I went with and I was pretty pleased with the outcome!

Project Details:

Stamps: In Symmetry

Ink: Bumble Bee, Just Jade, Flirty Flamingo

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee, Basic White, Sweet Symmetry DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Playful Alphabet Dies, White Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Foam Adhesive Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The little pens I have had for a long time!

I think they came from Walmart.

Not sure on the size of the notepads but I will update that once I get to my stamp room later today to measure. They came from the Dollar Tree and i'm not sure if they still carry them or not. You could make these Notepads with any size though.

I enjoyed making this.

Thank You, Vicki, for the pretty gift!
