Happy Anniversary

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

It's been crazy busy around the Aungst Pad the last few days!

I feel like I turned my whole house upside down and did a deep cleaning. Kelsey is suppose to keep my downstairs cleaned but I don't think she knows what a good deep cleaning is!! So, out of frustration I went and tore the family room & my stamp room apart and cleaned every nook & cranny. Yesterday, I felt it! My back is giving me grief but it needed to be done. 

Today I have a anniversary card to share using the Country Bouquet stamp set & matching punch. I used it alot back around Valentines Day but since it has carried over into the new SU Annual Catalog I decided to pull it out and make some more cards for on the card rack.

Card Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet, Love For You

Ink: Petal Pink, Soft Succulent (retired)

Cardstock: Soft Succulent (retired), Petal Pink, Basic White, Country Floral DSP (retired)

Accessories: Curvy Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Country Bouquet Punch, Petal Pink/Champagne Ribbon (retired), Champagne Rhinestones (retired) Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the colors of this one! It was fun to pull out some retired items and create with them. It's hard to see but the floral piece of DSP was diecut with one of the Curvy Dies that retired maybe a year or two ago. I never got much use from them so I hope to start using some of these things!

Petal Prints Anniversary

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have a pretty card to share that we made at my recent Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. I pulled out an old stamp set from 2006 called Petal Prints and it's wood mounted. It's a beautiful floral set that hasn't seen ink in quite a few years! I paired this stamp set with some Dandy Designs DSP from SaleABRation.

You know how much I like to mix the old with the new and this card turned out so pretty in these colors! It has a summertime feel to it, too!

Card Details:

Stamps: Petal Prints (retired), Love For You

Ink: Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana

Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (SAB 23)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Scalloped Contour Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, White Crinkle Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm so glad that the ladies liked this one!

Anniversary Set

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week is going well!

I got Audrey's card order finished! YAY! 

Yesterday, I did not do any stamping but rather straightened up my stamp area. I have a new tutorial laying out on my table right now that I would like to play with later today. Been trying to give my hands a break when I can since they have been bothering me. 

The set of cards I have to share today are part of that card order I was working on. Audrey requested a set of masculine cards with birds on and no saying on. Well, I flubbed that up! LOL I am not perfect and had good intentions when I first started out with pulling out a pack of retired Bird Ballad DSP since this has lots of birds in. I am personally not much of a bird person so I usually pass on bird stamp sets. I had a whole sheet of this particular bird paper and started to build my card. Till it was said and done I used Petal Pink on it which was a no no. This pack is suppose to be masculine! So, in that moment I realized I messed up! I moved ahead with the last pack of cards which were for an Anniversary. I simply added my Happy Anniversary sentiment to this set of cards and called it done. Take a look...

Since each card is different because of where the birds are on the DSP I added my sentiment on each card at different places. I was still pleased with how they turned out but not sure why I added the Petal Pink to a masculine card. Oh well, it all turned out fine and tomorrow I will share the set of masculine bird cards!

Card Details:

Stamps: Love For You

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Pool Party, Petal Pink, Basic White, Bird Ballad DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Something Fancy Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Anyone remember who the character is in my thoughts picture?

He sure is bright & spunky this morning or maybe I just need another cup of coffee?! LOL
