Stamp Day w/ Friends

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Today I am sharing card #1 from my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together that I had on Saturday. We had a nice time together and had fun creating some cards!

The 1st card we made uses a retired Stampin Up! set called Reflected in Nature.

This stamp set was in the 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog and I think it's a wonderful masculine set!

Since my girls are surrounded by lots of men in their lives this card was right up their alley!

We used the Stampartaus to get a good image. I made sure the ink pad was not too juicy and they all turned out perfect! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Reflected In Nature (retired), Itty Bitty Birthday (retired)

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Cardstock: Basic White Thick, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Basic White, Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Stamparatus, Designer Elements (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have had this card kit prepared for a Stamp Day get together since last spring and i'm glad we finally got to make it! The girls loved it!

Angler HB

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have the last card to share that the girls made on Saturday!

This one is a masculine card. The girls love their masculine cards!!

I pulled out my very first masculine stamp set that I bought back in 2001 called Angler!

I tend to use fishing for many of my masculine cards because are guys all like to fish.

This set was a favorite of mine until a few years ago when the Best Catch set came out. I used the Best Catch set alot in the last few years and felt it was time to showcase the Angler set again! I think I have every fishing set that Stampin Up! has ever brought out but those 2 are my favorite's!

Card Details:

Stamps: Angler (retired), Itty Bitty Birthdays (retired)

Ink: Pacific Point, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Basic White, Handsomely Suited DSP (retired)

Accessories: Brick & Mortar 3D EF, Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Square Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Black Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I always try to have a masculine birthday card for my Stamp Day w/ Friends get togethers so the girls have them when they need one!

Pop of Petals

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Shawn is off today so I am going to make this post a quick one!

I have a card to share that my girls & I made on Saturday at my Stamp Day w/ Friends.

This one uses the retired Pop of Petals stamp set.

I had this kit ready since before the retirement list came out in April.  

I know the girls don't care if it's retired or not.

They like that I use what I have...

This card was a bit time consuming since we did not line up the flowers with the punch. 

I made note to make sure I do that next time we use this set!

Card Details:

Stamps: Pop of Petals (retired), Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink: Highland Heather, Soft Seafoam, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Soft Seafoam, Whisper White, Garden Lane DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Four Petal Flower Punch (retired), Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Once we had all those flowers punched out we took a bone folder to each petal and gave them a curl.

It will still mail flat!

Time to Celebrate!!

Hello & Happy Hot & Humid Tuesday!

It's sweltering here the last couple of days!

I'm ready for a refreshing cold front to come thru and give us some nice comfortable days.

Last week really spoiled us!

Today I have a card to share that my girls made Saturday at our Stamp Day w/ Friends!

It was most fabulous seeing them again!

I also threw out to them that if they wanted they could wear their masks.

No one even brought theirs along!

My masculine card today is a fun fold like I shared last week!

I borrowed Deb's Sailing Home stamp set & coordinating dies to make this.

Thanks, Deb!

The measurements on this fun fold I posted last week but here they are again...

Cardbase is 4 1/4 x 11.

Scored at 4 and again at 5 1/2.

The section measuring 1 1/2 is where it gets glued shut.

It reminds me of a book.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sailing Home, Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink: Balmy Blue, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Whisper White, Come Sail Away DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Smooth Sailing Dies, Sail Away Trinkets, Baker's Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The girls like their masculine cards and they both really liked this one!

I did too!
