Hello & Happy Sunday!

Our Sunday is off to a cloudy start. I hope the sun makes an appearance later!

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Halfway thru the week....YAY!

I have a card to share today that turned out so pretty!

Frosted Forest Birthday

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!!

Phew, it's going to get a bit warm again today! Miss Bailee doesn't care for the hot temps too much. She has been parked in front of the fan most of the time. Since Shawn is on vacation this week I'm hoping he will put the air conditioner in. I know this warmth is going to be short lived but Bailee really minds it.

So today I have a very pretty birthday card to share. Yes, it uses all things retired.

Card Details:

Stamps: Frosted Forest (retired Online Exclusives)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Melon Mambo, Basic White, Wonderful World DSP (retired SAB 2022)

Accessories: Mixed Labels Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Fern 3D EF (retired), Melon Mambo Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I like the pretty colors in this paper and that embossing folder is gorgeous!

Regal Flora

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!!

Today I am sharing some cards I made over the summer months with a retired bundle from the 2024 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog called Regal Flora. This set was a favorite of mine and I still enjoy pulling it out & inking it up! Even though this set was in the Holiday Catalog it's not really holiday related. Regal Winter is the name of the DSP that was in this suite of products and that gives me winter feels but again not holiday related. I have 3 cards to show you. The first one was for a wedding that Audrey requested and the second one was for my stash and the third one is another wedding card for Audrey that she asked for yesterday. She wanted it to be the same design as the first...

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam

Cardstock: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Lemon Lolly Enamel Dots (retired), Lemon Lolly Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Mixed Labels (retired Online Exclusives)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Regal Winter DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Nested Dies (retired) Dashing Designs 3D EF (retired), Mixed Labels Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Fresh Freesia Sequins (retired SAB 25), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Daffodil Delight Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink In Color Shimmer Gems (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's the same design as the 1st card but I used different colors.

I think they all turned out quite lovely!

Happy Spring

Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today I have a sweet card to share that I made with the Storybook Friends suite.

Card Details:

Stamps: Storybook Friends

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: BoHo Blue, Calypso Coral, Basic White, Timeless Plaid DSP

Accessories: Storybook Friends Dies, Mixed Labels Dies (Online Exclusives), Stylish Shapes Dies, Antique Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Timeless Plaid DSP is a great pack of 6x6 paper that could be used for a variety of occasions! And that sweet little bunny & butterfly is from the Storybook Memories DSP. They have 2 pages in the 12x12 pack that are punchouts which can make card making quick & simple! Spring is coming soon so I need to get some cards made to send out.

This morning I am headed out early to head over to L&L Stamps to pick up some supplies. I always love going there to shop and Lorene has SO much cool stuff. After that we have a few errands to run at CVS & Walmart. I may need a nap once we get home! LOL

Hope your day is calmer!

Oh, and don't forget to change your clocks before bedtime tonight!

Mixed Labels Sympathy

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

We are starting off this Friday with lots of nice sunshine but it is quite cold out & windy, too! This weekend we change the clocks again. Not sure what good this does other than wreck our schedules (especially our pets!). I'm hoping one day we do away with it. What are your thoughts on the time change? I know not all states in the US do time change.

Today I have a set of sympathy cards to show you that I made with a new suite of products from the Stampin Up Online Exclusives list. Of course, these products have been available since I believe January 2025 but I only recently grabbed them. I made up a pack of sympathy cards for on the card rack with it. Take a look...

Card Details:

Stamps: Mixed Labels (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Shy Shamrock. Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Petal Pink

Cardstock: Shy Shamrock, Petal Pink, Basic White, Mixed Media Florals DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Mixed Labels Dies, Plaster Painting 3D EF (Online Exclusives), Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon, Low Profile Dots (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I wasn't quite sure what I thought about Shy Shamrock which is a new In Color this year (2024-2026). I do think it is growing on me and I do think that using DSP with that color in helps, too! I think the Petal Pink also helps to tone it down a bit. I love the outcome of these cards especially the Mixed Labels Dies! 

This pack of 5 is going on my card rack "for sale". I left the inside blank as some people like to write their own message in. I can also stamp a sentiment inside if someone is interested in them. For me personally, I am not good with words so I would have to stamp something inside. LOL
