Stamp Day Card #1

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

It was very busy here so I am going to give my aching back and hands a rest for a few days before I start my housework this week. I feel like I have been going 100 mph the last few weeks and need to take a breather.

Today I am sharing a festive card from my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together from Saturday!

This one was pretty simple to do but adds a nice pop of sparkle with the retired glittered Shaded Spruce Glimmer Paper and the pretty iridescent Wonderful Snowflakes!

I had already run the Basic White panel thru the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine using the Whimsical Woodland 3D EF so that was one step the girls did not have to do. I also diecut the glimmer paper and the circle ahead of time. It's hard to tell but the Shaded Spruce Glimmer Paper was diecut with the Labels Aglow Dies. They just had to stamp the sayings and adhere it all together.

Card Details:

Stamps: Brightest Glow

Ink: Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Shaded Spruce Glimmer Paper (retired), Santa Express DSP

Accessories: Whimsical Woodland 3D EF, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Labels Aglow Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits,  Iridescent Rhinestones, Wonderful Snowflakes, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Miss Emily loved this card but it was not her favorite.

Tomorrow I will share card #2.

Here are the Gingerbread Cupcakes that Shawn picked up at a local bakery for my stamp get together. Gingerbreads are my thing!!! 

They were SO good!

Christmas Lights Cards

 Good Sunday Morning!

I hope your having a wonderful weekend!

We had rain & gusty winds yesterday. It was a good day to stay in and craft the afternoon away! Today it's sunny but on the cold side. It's also football day!

One day this past week Audrey called to give me her monthly card order.

She asked for a set of Christmas cards with a decorated Christmas tree on.

I thought to myself for a minute and then pulled out my Christmas Lights bundle and got to work. I had this bundle for awhile and thought this was the perfect opportunity to use it!

I diecut the trees from the Lights Aglow DSP and also cut out an extra tree using Evening Evergreen cardstock to sturdy up the DSP diecut tree. I glued them together then I placed it on top of the Gold trimmed scalloped piece of DSP. I am a sucker for anything with pops of Gold Foil in it! It seemed like at that moment the tree came to life! 

I layered all of it onto a Soft Succulent cardbase. I diecut my sentiment panel from Basic White cardstock using the Lights Aglow Dies. Such a pretty diecut, too! I stamped my saying on with Evening Evergreen ink using the Brightest Glow stamp set. 

Lastly, I added 2 Soft Succulent Festive Pearls to each card and an Evening Evergreen bow to finish them up. 

I almost wish these were made for me because I loved them so much.

I just hope Audrey will be pleased with them!

Card Details:

Stamps: Brightest Glow

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Basic White, Lights Aglow DSP

Accessories: Twinkling Lights Dies, Lights Aglow Dies, Festive Pearls, Evening Evergreen Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Such a beautiful suite of products and sadly the Lights Aglow DSP is already sold out!

I was fortunate enough to order mine at the beginning of preorder back in July but only now have I opened the pack to use it. It's so pretty!
