Grill Master HB

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

It's going to be a nice day here in south central Pennsylvania today!

Lower humidity just for the day and tomorrow it's back along with rain & thunderstorms.

Miss Bailee has a Vet appt this morning for a check up after her hospital visit a month ago. Then this afternoon we will go run some errands before Ravens football this evening. 

I'm looking forward to a good day!

The card I am sharing today is made using the Grill Master bundle from the Online Exclusives a few months ago. This was the first card I made with this set.

Card Details:

Stamps: Grill Master (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Basic White, He's the Man Specialty DSP (retired 2023)

Accessories: Grill Master Dies (Online Exclusives), Rustic Metallic Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card will be getting mailed out in a few weeks to a good friend of ours for his birthday!

Definitely a great set!

Gone Fishing...

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

It sure is another humid day here....just enough to have to run the AC which I have come to not like anymore unless it's extremely hot & humid but I run it to keep Miss Bailee comfortable. 

Today I am sharing a card I had made for the card rack but ended up using it on one of Audrey's orders when she needed a fishing card for someone at church. All I had to do was personalize it to the number of years and put the fish on. It originally had a circle panel on it with a Happy Birthday saying and the fish hanging to the side. I just removed the sentiment panel and changed it up to fit her request.

Card Details:

Stamps: Number of Years (retired), Birthday Celebrations (retired)

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Misty Moonlight, Silver Foil Paper, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Twisted Rope 3D EF (retired), Large Number Framelits (retired), Gone Fishing Dies (retired), Birthday Celebrations Dies (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was a suite of products that I loved and wished it would have stayed longer.

I am getting down to the nitty gritty on my designer series paper and may have to go in search of another pack on Ebay unless Stampin Up gives us something new next year!

We shall see...

It's Your Day

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Sorry for the late update today. Last evening I had my 6 month check up with my doctor and I had blood work done and got my 1st dose of the Shingles vaccine. Since I had Shingles last Fall I was not going to get the vaccine until I experienced the pain of having them. I would not wish that on anyone as they are very painful. I decided to pull the trigger and get my 1st dose which has been a bit harsh on my system. My doctor warned me that it would be. I am wiped out, feverish and experiencing injection site pain in my arm and honestly my whole body is achy. Shawn took the day off to help with taking care of things which is a good thing because Miss Bailee has been out in the yard several times since yesterday evening with her colitis kicking in. We were even up during the night to let her out. Not much can be done for her until the stresses pass. She gets this way with stressful events which was dog grooming on Monday.

Anyways, I am taking it easy, taking Tylenol and getting rest. So I wanted to get a blog update to share another fun card using the Relaxing Waterside suite. I really love this bundle of great products!

Card Details:

Stamps: Relaxing Waterside

Ink: Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Waterside Retreat DSP

Accessories: Everyday Arches Dies, Relaxing Waterside Dies, Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots (retired Online Exclusives), Blender Pen, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another card for in the bin that will eventually go to the card rack (maybe)! 

I may use this one for an upcoming birthday if need be!

Father's Day Bridge Fold

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today Shawn & I are headed to Gettysburg to a Tesla event. I really did not want to go but Shawn asked me to go along since I never go to any of them. Ryan is on dog duty today while we are away but we are only an hour away from home if need be. Anyways, I am looking forward to some time away and picking blueberries! And our weather is to be pleasantly nice!

Since it is Father's Day weekend I have a really fun fold card to share with you.

I made this one for the bin which will go on the card rack eventually. I used the retired Gone Fishing suite that retired a few years ago.

Card Details:

Stamps: Gone Fishing (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color)

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color), Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Gone Fishing Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Rustic Metallic Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This style of card is SO easy to make & fun!

It folds flat to mail and I just love how to it stands to be displayed.

I think Shawn would have really liked this one but I was late on making it and Ryan already picked a card for him.

He's been waiting to go and finally we have some nice weather to do so!

I'm just putzing around the house looking for something to do. I'm still giving my hands a nice long rest from cardmaking & stamping for now. I got a puzzle out the other day but never started it. Hope you have some fun plans for today!
