Birthday Celebration Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Today I have a few birthday cards to share with you that I made last summer using the now retired Birthday Celebration Bundle that was in the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. The Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP is so pretty & springy! The entire suite is amazing!

The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper is loaded with such pretty paper patterns and 2 sheets of punchouts. I love this option when it comes to card making or even scrapbooking!

I don't have much of this paper left and honestly what is left I am hoarding! LOL It's just so pretty!

Happy Birthday Wildflowers

 Happy Monday, Friends!

Hope you had a good weekend!

It's an early morning for me as I have a ton of things on my agenda today!

I have an "oh so pretty" card to share with you that I made with the Wildflower Birthday DSP which is just the prettiest mix of prints, colors and it has some Gold Foil thrown in it too!!

Card Details:

Stamps: Labeled with Love

Ink: Blueberry Bushel, Soft Seafoam, Pretty in Pink

Cardstock: Soft Seafoam, Basic White, Wildflower Birthday DSP

Accessories: Labeled with Love Dies, Party Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love that Stampin Up has been giving us these packs of DSP with 2 sheets of punchouts to use for either scrapbooking or card making. It certainly makes card making go a whole lot faster! The flowers & saying on the inside are from the Labeled with Love stamp set which sadly will be retiring after today. It's a wonderful set and one that I have used quite a bit in the last year!

My thoughts today...

Definitely going to be my kind of day!

Thanks for stopping by & make it a great day!

Thanksgiving Treat boxes

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

The week is flying by and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! Monday was my cleaning day which took me most of the day. Yesterday I had an appointment to see the dermatologist for a recheck of my rosacea & psoriasis. I am having good results with the doxycycline everyday for my rosacea and my psoriasis has been really mild. I have a really great dermatologist who was pleased with what he saw. I was in & out within 15 mins! I will return to see him in 1 year! 

So today I am headed to my stamp table to work on some cards for my Christmas get together with the girls. Going to try to get 3 kits made today! LOL Wish me luck! I only have a few more little Christmas treats to wrap up and then I hope to get Audrey's December Cards started. Shawn has work tomorrow yet then he's off until Dec 2nd and we have lots to do while he's off.

The project I am sharing today was a treat box that I made for Thanksgiving that I will sit at everyone's table setting for dinner. Our dinner will most likely be around 5pm as Kelsey is working the restaurant that day and last seating is at 3pm. I also made an extra to give one to Audrey in her last card order. She has a sweet tooth so I know she will enjoy the treats!

Project Details:

Stamps: Autumn Leaves (Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set), Labeled With Love, Pleasant Pheasants (retired sentiment)

Ink: Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie, Old Olive, Cajun Craze

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Basic White, Sweet Days of Autumn DSP, Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper

Accessories: Labeled With Love Dies, Autumn Leaves Dies, Cello Bags, Pecan Pie Ribbon (retired), Copper Metallic Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I made 6 of these for Thanksgiving and may use the same box for Christmas treats, too! I filled each bag with a Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Apple & a Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel Squares with Caramel Apple Werther's Candy & 2 Dove Milk Chocolate & Caramel Candies. Alot of Fall yumminess in that bag!

I agree but the mosquito's are still lingering because last week I got nailed on the backporch.

I'll be happy when they die off!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great start to your week!

Pets & More HB

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Phew yesterday turned out to be a hot & humid one!

Each day this week it's to get a bit warmer....you know I will be in hibernation mode!

I like warmth but this kind of heat & humidity is a bit much for me.

Last evening I got Audrey's card order delivered. She loved each & every card!!

The one I am sharing today was made for her order. This was a special request for a lady friend of hers that loves cats...

Card Details:

Stamps: Pets & More (Online Exclusives), Labeled With Love

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Petal Pink, Basic White, Flowering Zinnia DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Adhesive Back Shiny Sequins (Online Exclusives), Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She loved this one with the cat on especially with the Zinnia paper!

I visited with her about 20 minutes then got on my way. 

She looked really good and was feeling good!

Flowering Zinnia Set

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend?!

I took a bit of a break after I was done sharing all of Audrey's last card order. My hands were hurting so I knew I needed some downtime. Yesterday I went back to working on more cards for her. She just loves this Flowering Zinnia paper and always wants more! I just ordered a 2nd pack of it! LOL This is the pack I made for her next order...

Card Details:

Stamps: Labeled with Love

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Basic White, Lemon Lime Twist, Flowering Zinnia DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins (Online Exclusives), Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm getting down to the nitty gritty on my 1st pack of this paper.

The 2nd pack should arrive next week.

Today's plan is more stamping!

I am excited to use some of my newer sets that I have not touched yet.

Let's hope my hands don't give out on me!

My thoughts today...

I'll be locked away in the basement making cards! YAY!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Labeled with Love Bundle

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Finally, it's looking like a beautiful day ahead!

I'm thinking about getting the bikes out this evening for a quick ride as long as Shawn isn't late getting home from work. This will be the 1st we had the bikes out since last June....I sure hope I remember how to ride one! LOL 

Today I have a Thank You card to share that I made with a new bundle called Labeled with Love. This bundle you can order it with either the punch or the die. I chose the die since I store the dies directly in the stamp case with the stamps. I have SO many punches from when I first got into Stampin Up (24 years ago) that is taking up way to much space so I am glad Stampin Up is giving us that option on certain sets! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Labeled with Love

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends- Petunia Pop

Cardstock: Petunia Pop, Basic White, Petunia Pop In Color DSP

Accessories: Labeled with Love Dies, Petunia Pop In Color Shimmer Dots, Wink of Stella, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I loved this bundle from the minute I saw it in the new 2024-2025 Stampin Up Annual Catalog. I honestly think it was the variety of stamp & sayings in it. The butterfly spoke to me for some reason. There is no punch or die for it so I just carefully fussy cut it out and popped it up with Dimensionals on my sentiment panel. The sentiment panel was diecut using the Labeled with Love Dies. I did one in white & the other in Petunia Pop cardstock. Petunia Pop is a new In Color for the next 2 years!

This card is going out in a customer Thank You gift.
