Anniversary Z Fold

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Today we are in for a windy, rainy day from what's left of Isaias that hit down south this past week. Kelsey & Sushi are still here and we are making lasagna for supper tonight. We finished up our 550 piece puzzle around 9pm last night. I will share pictures tomorrow when I get them off my phone. Today is just going to be a down day of watching movies.

I am sharing an Anniversary card today that I made a few weeks ago. This is a fun Z Fold using retired Online Exclusive products.

Card Details:

Stamps: Phrases & Frames, Petals of Beauty (retired Online Exclusives)

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Brushed With Beauty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Petals of Beauty Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Pearlized Faceted Circles (retired Online Exclusives), Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This turned out so nicely! I have alot of this DSP left that I am thinking of packing up to get rid of. I am not crazy about all the prints & patterns in it. We shall see when the time comes. I am trying to downsize alittle and keep what I think I will use.

Butterfly Thinking of You

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

I hope you had a nice weekend! 

It got a bit toasty yesterday! We did a quick trip to Sam's Club first thing in the morning then took a long walk down to the square in Red Lion and did some window shopping along the way. We went into the consignment shop which was very nice! I got myself a summer dress since the other 2 I have are way too big now. I also found some brand new shirts for $2 a piece. Can't beat that in this day & age where everything is priced thru the roof!

Anyways, today I have a card to share that is a blast from the past. It uses all things retired which is great because it means I am using up my old stash.

Card Details:

Stamps: Dreams du Jour (retired 2008), Phrases & Frames (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Riding Hood Red (retired In Color), Kiwi Kiss (retired In Color)

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red (retired In Color), Kiwi Kiss (retired In Color), Basic White, Bella Rose DSP (retired 2008)

Accessories: Note Tag Punch (retired), Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Such a pretty set to pull out & play with again.

I got rid of so many of my wood mounted floral sets that I just have not used in years and felt it was time to pass them on. This one was always a favorite so it stayed! And that DSP is just so pretty!

This card was put in my bin for when the card rack needs refreshed.

Floral Anniversary Set

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Phew, I think I need a day to relax instead of doing household chores today! LOL

Between Saturday's outside work & planting flowers and yesterday's bike ride...I am hurting but I am gonna push thru and get my house cleaned today! Hopefully the rest of the week I can relax! 

Today I am sharing a set of Anniversary cards that was on Audrey's last order. I think she said she needed 17 Anniversary cards for the month of May & June and since I already had some made I pulled from my stash for the rest. Anyways, this set uses a sheet of patterned paper I found in my stash from Hobby Lobby. I've had it a good long while and I'm not sure if it's still available or not. I paired it with some retired Stampin Up colors like Pistachio Pudding & Primrose Petals. Do they sound familiar?

Card Details:

Stamps: Phrases & Frames (Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Pistachio Pudding (retired In Color)

Cardstock: Primrose Petals (retired In Color), Lemon Lolly, Pistachio Pudding (retired In Color), Patterned Paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Primrose Petals Stitched Ribbon (retired), Antique Pearls, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I know these are nothing too fancy because that is the way Audrey likes her cards but I found this set so rewarding to make because I was able to use some older products that haven't seen daylight in ages! I tried my best to match the cardstock to the colors in the patterned paper. These will also mail without any extra postage because nothing is popped up. 

Ok, I better get moving....it's going to be a long day! And a very hot one....90's are in the forecast today & tomorrow! Blah!

Phrases & Frames

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a sympathy card to share and this time I am using something that is NOT retired. LOL The set I used is called Phrases & Frames from the new May-August Catalog. It is a Million Dollar Achiever Set that Susan Campfield created since earning her Million Dollar in sales! It's a lovely set with great sentiments & inside sentiments as well!

Card Details:

Stamps: Phrases & Frames

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Crisp Cantaloupe (RETURNING New In Color), Calypso Coral, Basic White, Garden Walk DSP (retired 2023)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Crisp Cantaloupe In Color Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The strips of DSP were scraps that were in my package that I pulled out and I just used what was already cut. I found that the Crisp Cantaloupe matched this DSP nicely so I took the opportunity to use it! Thankfully I had a whole package of the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock from when it was an In Color years ago. I have a pack of every In Color cardstock Stampin Up has ever had so I am always thrilled when they bring back an old color! YAY!
