Lilypad Lake

Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend.

I was watching some of the news and seen the footage from Hurricane Florence from this past weekend. It dumped so much rain...I can't even imagine!

Sending my thoughts & prayers to the folks of North & South Carolina.

Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in PA. Lots of blue skies & sunshine!

Hope everyone got out to enjoy it!

Rain from the hurricane is on our doorstep today & tomorrow.

I have a card to share today that was made Friday evening with the stamp girls.

Deb requested something with Lilypad Lake so this is what I created.

I had all the diecutting done so all they had to do was stamp the water & sentiment then color the sailboats. Went rather quickly and they really liked my card! 

The girls decided to change up the saying and use a Thinking of You from the Colorful Seasons set.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lilypad Lake

Ink: Pool Party, Night of Navy, Memento Black, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Pool Party, Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Lakeside Framelits, Night of Navy Twine, Mini Dimensionals & Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

If you do not have Copic Markers or Stampin Blends....you really should have them in your collection! They color things SO nicely without showing lines like regular makers do!

I started out being sold on the Copics and now I am hooked on the Blends. 

I hope in the future that Stampin Up brings out more colors!

They really make coloring much more fun!

My thoughts today.... 

Anyone else have this problem?

That's all I have for now!
Thanks for stopping by & make your day a happy one!

Congratulations

Hello & Happy Thursday!

They are saying one more day of this hot weather and a cold front is to come thru.

I am counting down the minutes!

So over running the AC and waiting patiently to be able to sleep with the windows open!

Yes, that's always music to my ears!

So, today I have a summery card to share.

I made this for on my card rack as I always try to think ahead of what any of my customers would want. Sometimes they need for a job promotion or an engagement. 

This card could work for either occasion.

This is pretty simple and straight forward.

My sentiment comes from the Lilypad Lake stamp set.

The roses are colored with the Flirty Flamingo & Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends.

Card Details:

Stamps: Petal Palette, Lilypad Lake

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo DSP

Accessories: Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at my stamp table finishing up a card order and working on Halloween Treats. I love this time of year with Fall & Halloween coming! 

What is your favorite time of the year?

Beautiful Day

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

Yesterday was suppose to be my cleaning day but it ended up being a day I sat from 9 am till 10 pm last night putting together a puzzle that I started on Sunday afternoon.

I was determined to get this 1000 piece puzzle completed only to find that one piece was missing.

I picked it up at our local Goodwill store about a month or so ago and I loved the scene that was on it.

Shawn helped me wrap it up last night and by the time I was done I had such a pounding headache.

It's a beautiful puzzle but i'm sad that there is a piece missing.

Here is 2 pictures of the completed puzzle.

So today is a new day and i'm up early to get my housework done!

Yea, i'm not quite as chipper about that but it's one of those things that has to be done.

I do have a card to share today that I made last Friday.

It uses the Beautiful Day stamp set.

This set includes this pretty flower image and a lovely butterfly image with 2 sayings.

I have used the butterfly image many of times but this was the first time I used the flower.

I stamped it in Memento Black and colored my image in with my Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends. They are just as wonderful as the Copic Markers!

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day, Lilypad Lake (saying)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends 

Cardstock: Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick DSP

Accessories: Rhinestones, Lovely Lipstick 1/8 Grosgrain Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today I am expecting my Holiday Catalog preorder to arrive!

I'm excited about it especially since it was scheduled to arrive yesterday and it ended up in Baltimore!

How does that even happen!?

My thoughts today.....

Guess i'd better get to it!

Lots waiting on me.....

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a great day!

Lilypad Lake

Hello & Happy Friday!

Today is looking to be a washout!

It's been a decent week and with all the sunshine we've had but the gardens need the rain too!

Since our weather isn't going to be all the best I am planning a day at my stamp table.

Today I have a card to share that I made last week when my friend Deb came for a bit to stamp.

I was playing around with some diecut pieces I had ready to go using the Lilypad Lake bundle.

Aren't those lilypads cute? 

I colored them with the Stampin Blends instead of the Copic Markers.

I also like that there is a die to cut them out.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lilypad Lake, Thoughtful Banners

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock: Thick WHisper White, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Lakeside Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Such a fun set and easy to use!

Lilypad Lake

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at my stamp table just playing around with new stuff.

I got out my Lilypad Lake Bundle and whipped up a quick card.

I used the Seaside EF to create the background using some new Balmy Blue cardstock.

Isn't that color blue pretty??

I diecut the sailboats, sun and the grass from the Lakeside Framelits and put my card together.

My sailboats are colored with Stampin Blends but the blue is Copic Markers.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lilypad Lake, Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Memento Black, Balmy Blue, Stampin Blends & Copic Markers

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Balmy Blue, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Lakeside Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Glue

I can see this set making some amazing masculine cards!
