#MakeACardSendACard Challenge

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
We were out & about most of the weekend hitting the trails and let me tell ya, my feet are thumping!
It was dreary, rainy & gloomy one minute and then sunshine the next but the rain won out most of the time. We still walked the trails because afterall isn't that what they make umbrella's for?!

Today I am continuing the #MakeACardSendACard Challenge.
My card is made with the Petal Potpourri stamp set that's long been retired but doesn't matter to me....I love the big blooms in the set!





Happy Mother's Day Card:

Stamps: Petal Potpourri, Crazy About You
Ink: Blushing Bride, Soft Suede
Cardstock: Blushing Bride,Whisper White
Accessories: Flower Medallion Punch, Elegant Dots EF, Blushing Bride Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape

Petal Potpourri Get Well Card

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all enjoying the weekend! 
It's been so hot here in PA and I am starting to quickly wish for Fall to come!
Yesterday, Shawn & I took a ride down many country roads to a farm stand that we have nick named "the telephone booth" because obviously it looks like one! The next time I go I will take a picture! It is a self serve stand that has all kinds of produce. We went in search of some tomatoes, green peppers and cabbage. We found all that and more for under $10. I was thrilled with our finds but even more so the time spent with him on our ride thru the country! The sky was starting to bubble up and get dark as storms were approaching but of course, till we made it back to Red Lion....it completely missed us. Our grass is getting drier & more brown by the day with this heat & humidity we've been dealing with. So yea, i'm praying for rain and a good cool down.

Anyways, today we slept in way longer than usual. It's hard sleeping in past 6 am anymore. Bailee came in the bedroom and woke me up around 10 because she was waiting on breakfast! Once that chore was done I got my coffee and sat down to blog surf. My Keurig was all set up to brew my coffee, all I had to do was hit the button. My first sip was cold. Eww, nothing like cold coffee! Shawn had unplugged it yesterday to put up my last couple of pieces of backsplash and thinks that it did not do it's preheat thing. Ughh sometimes modern technology does not agree with me! I am so old school about lots of things and I have hung on to my old coffee pot incase of an emergency! 

So, today I do have a quick card to share. I am out of Get Well cards for my own stash so I needed to remedy that! I got out my very loved stamp set, Petal Potpourri and got to work!



I got the Sahara Sand Lace Trim off the Clearance Rack not too long ago for a good price and seen that I never opened it. That was my motivation behind the card. The card base is Sahara Sand and the DSP is Something Borrowed all from the 2015 Occasions Mini Catalog. My sentiment is from the Thoughts & Prayers set. The flower is stamped in Sahara Sand as well with a white pearl in the center. It is popped up with a Dimensional so the Lace Trim can lay flat under it. 
I love the stamps sets that have the coordinating punches to go with it! Makes things SO much easier!


Get Well Soon Card:

Stamps: Petal Potpourri, Thoughts & Prayers
Ink: Sahara Sand
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Something Borrowed DSP
Accessories: Sahara Sand Lace Trim, White Pearl, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape



That's so true!


That's all for today!
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
Stay cool!

Petal Potpourri

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Just a quick card today then Shawn is headed to the doctors to get his stitches removed! He's excited to get them out and start walking a bit more. I hope soon we can get back to our long walks with the doggies but only if our weather gets better! 

Anyways, today I am sharing a card that I cased from Kriss Huels. I found her card on Pinterest and it just sang to me! I recently got the Petal Potpourri set & matching Flower Medallion Punch from a lady on Facebook that was selling it. This set is from the 2015 SU Occasions Catalog. I missed out on it last year but I am so happy that I finally have it in my collection!




Petal Potpourri Cased Card:

Stamps: Petal Potpourri, Simply Sketched (sentiment)
Ink: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana
Cardstock: Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Best Year Ever DSP
Accessories: Flower Medallion Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Rhinestone, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid

The only thing I changed on my card was my sentiment panel. The original was a banner flag. 
Isn't this card pretty? I love the summery colors and that beautiful flower!

Well, that's all for today!
Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
