Stamp Day Card #2

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I hope your staying warm where ever you are!

Sunday it got pretty cold here and had to break out our winter coats!

Burrrr! I know it is mid November but last week we had temps in the 70's which spoiled us.

Yesterday I started a Christmas puzzle. It's a tough one and I was hoping to have half of it done by this morning but that's not happening. I will pick at it more today!

I want to share card #2 that we made at Stamp Day w/ Friends on Saturday.

This one uses the Painted Pheasant stamp set which is a new one in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog.

We used the Stamparatus to stamp the pheasant. We started with Crumb Cake ink then took a sponge dauber and blotted Soft Suede ink in certain areas to make give it a more detailed look. The Soft Suede panel was embossed ahead of time using the Leaf Fall 3D EF. Both panels were diecut with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

I also cut and adhered the Crumb Cake DSP panel ahead of time to keep things quick & easy for the girls. The DSP is from the retired Plaid Tidings DSP from a few years ago.

I am trying to use up the older stuff when I can.

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Pheasant

Ink: Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Basic White, Plaid Tidings DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Stamparatus, Leaf Fall 3D EF, Elegant Facted Gems, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Thanksgiving

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

I hope your having a nice weekend so far!

It's a cloudy morning here with a chance of showers later today.

My hubby is going fishing this morning and while he's out of the house I am gonna do some dusting in the bedrooms and wash Ryan's bedsheets. 

Last evening we popped out to do a Sam's Club Run.

I picked up a container of Christmas M&M's. I usually get some Christmas gifts there but since Kelsey was with us I did not get anything. I'll try to go in a few weeks and pick up somethings. Once we were done there we went to Home Goods/TJ Maxx. I have been collecting the Rae Dunn Frosty line of mugs & canisters. I found the Frosty mug last night and also picked up a really cool Christmas puzzle. I love doing puzzles when I have the time!

So before my day gets busy I want to share with you a set of Thanksgiving cards I made for my card lady. She requested 2 packs of Thanksgiving cards and this is the 2nd set I made her yesterday morning. These use a mix of new & old products.

Card Details:

Stamps: PSX Stamps

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Soft Suede, Bumble Bee (retired), Calypso Coral, Gold Foil, Harvest Meadow DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Intricate Leaves Dies (retired), Leaf Fall 3D EF, Festive Pearls, Stampin Seal Plus, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the colors of these!

I pulled my color combo from the Harvest Meadow paper which is retired and I have a whole package of it to use up! The leaves are from the Gorgeous Leaves bundle from 2021. It is a favorite of mine! The Intricate Leaves Dies are absolutely gorgeous!

My sentiment comes from an old PSX stamp that I have had for years. 

It has a beautiful font!

Happy Thanksgiving

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

It's a rough morning here at the Aungst Pad.

My dear sweet husband has Restless Leg Syndrome and has had it for many years. And unfortunately, our daughter, Kelsey inherited it as well. They are both on a medicine called Mirapex. Shawn's is definitely much worse than Kelsey's. Recently it seems like his medicine isn't doing too much or else his legs are getting worse because they jump all day where as they use to only do it in the evening/nighttime. Last week at his checkup the doctor changed his meds to Clonazepam. His legs jumped horribly all night. He could not get comfortable to sit or lay down to sleep. He paced the house all night then got dressed and went to work this morning. I seriously do not know how he is functioning today. I think he needs to seek out a specialist. They say there are some good doctors at John Hopkins in Maryland which is not far from us so fingers crossed he can get an appointment.

The cards I want to share today I made for Audrey's next card order.

I did not get much accomplished yesterday and today is looking to be about the same but this is the set of Thanksgiving cards I made for her...

This card uses the the dies from the Hello Harvest set, Rustic Pumpkin Dies!

This is the first time using them and I love all the details on these layers that create the pumpkin. It is different dies that you use to build your pumpkin and so much fun!

Card Details:

Stamps: Retired Paper Pumpkin (sentiment)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Garden Green, Basic White, Cottage Gingham DSP

Accessories: Rustic Pumpkin Dies, Leaf Fall 3D EF, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Gold Cord, Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think my cards look a bit boring but the details on those pumpkin dies is my focal point!

And I especially love the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and those new Gold Swirls!
