Beary Cute Notebook

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I have another spiral bound notebook to share with you that I whipped up using some old Stampin Up! holiday papers. I left most of the paper do all the work and added just a sentiment to finish it up!

Project Details:

Stamps: Simply Said (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Night of Navy, Basic White, Blue Shimmer Paper (unknown source), Beary Christmas DSP (retired 2023)

Accessories: Everyday Arches Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Martha Stewart Jumbo Snowflake Punch, Night of Navy Ribbon (retired), Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments (retired), Dimensionals, Two Sided Tape, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how this one turned out with those fun papers!

The focal image was diecut directly from the DSP. It reminds me of the Coca Cola bears that were out year ago! Do you remember those adorable Coke commercials?

All of my spiral bound notebooks are for sale if anyone is interested in them. Just shoot me a message! All notebooks come with the RSVP Pens that have a strip of DSP in the barrel to match the notebook. These pens are worth their weight in gold! LOL

Today we are in for a very humid day with thunderstorms likely!

I know my yard & flowers could use some rain!

The World Over

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

This morning we are waking up to some snow. Not calling for much here, maybe an ich or two at most then a change over to rain. It will be a good day to get some crafting done!

Today I have another Christmas card to share with you.

I pulled out an old Stampin Up! set called The World Over. It is a wood mounted set from 2006. I do believe it was a hostess set because the rubber is purple. I used the snowmen in the set and loved coloring that image.

Card Details:

Stamps: The World Over (retired 2006), Christmas Joy (retired 1996- inside sentiment)

Ink: Memento Black, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin Blends-Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Copic Marker YG96 (Garden Green)

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Basic White, Dashing Along DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Winter Snow EF (retired), Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch, Cherry Cobbler Stitched Ribbon (retired), Holiday Rhinestones (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots & lots of retired Stampin Up! products from over the years!

It always feels good to pull this stuff out and use it again. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to see how many old sets I can use within a certain period of time. I may have to try that next year!

Frosty Comes to Town

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Today the heat & humidity is to start ramping up!

I absolutely dread this kind of weather because it's hard on everything from people to animals to equipment and everything in between!

If anyone needs me....i'll be hibernating for a few days!

I have another pack of cards to share that I made using my very first Stampin Up! Christmas stamp set from 2001.

FROSTY!

I'm celebrating Christmas in July and have lots of wonderful old stamp sets & cards to share with you in the coming days!

They say what's old is new again or something like that! LOL

I love the refreshed look of Frosty on this card that I colored with Stampin Blends.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Framelits to diecut him and layered it over and angled piece of Silver Foil Paper. The sentiment is from the same set and also diecut from those same Framelits and popped up with Dimensionals. The cute little snowflake in the corner is a Martha Stewart Punch and I used a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. 

Oh and that DSP is one of SU's very first packs of patterned paper called Festive Finery!

Yea, it's old and it's a very thin paper, too!

Card Details: 

Stamps: Frosty (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Night of Navy, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Silver Foil Paper, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (retired), Festive Finery DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Silver Metallic Enamel Dots (retired), MS Snowflake Punch, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

If anyone feels like joining in on my Christmas in July celebration please feel free to leave me a comment on this thread with a link to your page so I can check out your Christmas cards!

It's never too early to start but most of all, I have been having the best time using my old stamp sets!

My thoughts today....

I know it's not right having Frosty & talking about the heat on the same blog post!

Hopefully this heat won't melt my Frosty cards!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
