Happiest of Birthdays!

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have the last card to share with you that we made on Saturday at my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. This one came together really quick and took us maybe 15 mins to complete it! It uses a new set from the Stampin Up Annual Catalog called Happiest of Birthdays from page 103.

We started with a Thick Whisper White cardbase. 

Then added the piece of Bumble Bee cardstock and a piece of the Ornate Gardens Specialty Paper! Love that paper!

The sentiment was stamped with Bumble Bee ink onto Whisper White cardstock that was diecut with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits. 

The flowers were punched from Whisper White cardstock using the Medium Daisy Punch. 

The leaf was punched with Old Olive cardstock using the retired Leaf Punch.

We adhered everything together and added a few Champagne Rhinestones for sparkle!

Card Details:

Stamps: Happiest of Birthdays

Ink: Bumble Bee

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Bumble Bee, Old Olive, Whisper White, Ornate Gardens Specialty Paper

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Medium Daisy Punch, Leaf Punch (retired), Champagne Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A pretty Fall card, don't ya think?

Debbie's Card Class #18

Hello & Happy Friday!

The sun is shining here today but boy is it ever hot & muggy out.

I turned my ac on yesterday simply because it got really stuffy inside.

Poor Gigi looks like sheepdog since groomers have been closed since mid March here in PA.

She was hot and parked herself in front of the fan.

Tomorrow morning the girls will go see the groomer, first time in months!

They both really need the works!

I bathed them twice in recent weeks to help them feel better but nothing will compare to what the groomer will do for them! She is wonderful to my girls!

Today I want to share my project that I made at Debbie's Stamp With Me Class yesterday.

I was pretty stumped on what we were making and very surprised at the outcome!

This is called a Stage Card which I have never heard of much less created one.

It is a pretty cool card with moving pieces.

I am gonna try to recreate this next week one day when I have more time.

Card Details:

Stamps: Butterfly Gala, Daisy Lane

Ink: Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Ornate Garden Specialty DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, 1" Circle Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Tailored Tag Punch, Banner Punch (retired), Gold Faceted Gems, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card also lays flat for mailing but may require some additional postage due to how you would decorate it. Mine will need extra due to the Faceted Gems on my daisies.

This was a really fun online class which I enjoyed!

Thank you, Debbie, for doing this!

Looking forward to the next one!

I hope it's nothing too bad!

Another Facebook Live Class

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was such a lovely day with lots of sunshine!

It added a spring to my step!

Today so far the sun is shining but I think it's to be short lived with storms this afternoon/evening.

For now, I will enjoy the sunshine coming thru the windows!

So, my project that I am sharing today is from another class I took on Facebook called "Stamp With Me" by Debbie Henderson. She has been racking her brain to come up with idea's to get people to stamp with her to pass the time away while everyone is under the stay at home orders.

The day before her class she posted what all was needed and measurements. 

She did not share the project until most of it was completed.

This time we needed lots of punched out daisies which we knew was not for a card or scrapbook page but then she revealed to us that it was for a picture frame!!

I took 1 picture of mine once it was completed.

Luckily I had this frame in my closet and I had no idea what to do with it until she revealed hers.

I'm happy to have found a purpose for it now!

Isn't it pretty?

Project Details:

Stamps: To A Wild Rose

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Seaside Spray, Gold Foil Paper, Whisper White

Accessories: Bold Butterfly Framelits (retired), Butterfly Thinlits (retired), Wild Rose Dies, Oval Layering Framelits, Daisy Punches (Large & Medium), Gold Satin Ribbon, Gold Faceted Gems, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She is doing so much good in keeping us calm, sane and most of all helping us use what we all have in our stash! This is the 2nd class of hers that I did out of 7 and I am finding it to be so much fun and also keeps me motivated to craft!

Thank you, Debbie for bringing sunshine into our lives every single day!

Daisy Lane

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your all keeping busy and practicing social distancing!

The spread just keeps getting higher here in Pennsylvania!

Scary thing to be dealing with but if we all do our part and stay at home we can beat it!

I have been doing alot of stamping and working ahead on cards.

Today I may even start working on some card kits for a Stamp Day w Friends once our social distancing ends. 

I have an order for my card lady that will soon get delivered.

I will place them at her door and say hello from a distance.

She is 89 years old and in no way do I want to put her in jeopardy with catching this virus!

She always invites Shawn & I in to visit with her and gives lots of hugs.

Won't be doing that this time around to keep her safe!

She asked for a set of cards that had no sentiment on.

Daisy Lane to the rescue!

I love the tone on tone colors on the cardbase and the daisies.

Nothing is popped up so these will be very mail friendly!

The layers of daisies are glued together and I added a Gold Glittered Enamel Dot to the centers.

These are also flat.

Card Details:

Stamps: Daisy Lane

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Accessories: Daisy Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Gold Glittered Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love Stampin Up's Daisy sets! (Daisy Delight & Daisy Lane)

Very easy to use and they create some pretty cards!

I hope my card lady will enjoy these!

Daisy Lane Card Set

Hello & Happy Saturday!

It has been sweltering here in PA the last week!

I almost hate going outside in this kind of weather.

This morning I am headed out to deliver a card order and go pick up some stamp supplies.

After that it will be back in the house for the rest of the weekend.

This weather reminds me of Jamaica and how tropical it is.

Praying for some relief soon!

I have a pack of cards to share with you today that is part of my customer order.

She asked for daisies so I pulled out the new Daisy Lane stamp set with matching Medium Daisy Punch. 

I also got the new Birch Background stamp and thought it would look so nice with the daisies!

The Daisy Lane set also has a large daisy in it so you can use the regular Daisy Punch as well.

You can see by my cards that I layered the 2 different sizes.

My customer did not want a sentiment on these so I added some fern leaves in Mint Macaron under my daisies. They are also in the Daisy Lane stamp set.

Lastly, I added some rhinestones for sparkle.

Card Details:

Stamps: Daisy Lane

Ink: Crumb Cake, Rococo Rose, Mint Macaron

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Accessories: Daisy Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Rococo Rose is a new In Color this year and I do like it!

Reminds me of Rose Romance from the early 2000's! 

Anyone remember it?
