Postcard Pals

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Phew, yesterday our weather was the worst!
We were changed from a Heat Advisory to an Excessive Heat Warning because it got so hot & humid. They were advising people to stay indoors and with AC if possible. 
Today will be the same!
Tonight is Red Lion's Fireworks....not sure how that will go with it being extremely hot!
Today I am up early and got the oven going before it gets too bad.
I am making stuffed peppers for supper this evening and cooking off eggs for deviled eggs.
Shawn is going to make pasta salad later tonight for tomorrow and doing chicken on the grill and a brisket in the smoker! 
Kelsey, Corey & Shady are coming over tomorrow for July 4th!
It'd be nice if the weather would be cooler or maybe some rain.

So, today I have a quick card for you made using the new Postcard Pals set.
It is from the new Stampin Up! Annual Catalog on page 49.
It was on my first order and this weekend it finally saw ink!




I am trying to build up my stash of "Kids Birthday" cards on my card rack and thought the critters in this set would be cute. I colored my image with the Stampin Blends and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. It's layered onto a Bermuda Bay Square Layering Scallop Framelit. The ribbon is Bermuda Bay and the DSP is Coastal Cabana from the Brights Collection 6X6 Pad! So glad SU brought back Coastal Cabana! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Postcard Pals
Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends
Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Coastal Cabana DSP
Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Sparkle EF, Bermuda Bay Striped Ribbon, Coastal Cabana Glittered Enamel Dot, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


Isn't that otter just the cutest?!
Such a fun set but it requires alot of coloring and thankfully we now have the Stampin Blends to make it easier!

That's all for now!

Painted Harvest

Hello & Happy Monday!

Phew, hope your all surviving this heat & humidity!
It's rather disgusting and I feel so badly for anyone who has to work in it!
My AC is barely keeping up. It is set on 64 which is the lowest temperature and my room temperature is 80! You know it's really hot when it gets like that!

Today is my cleaning day so before I get started on that I wanted to share a card I made yesterday.
I sat and stamped for about 3 hours yesterday afternoon while Shawn watched a movie.
I pulled out my VERY loved Painted Harvest.
I had a vision to stamp it in Poppy Parade.....



With Soft Suede!
Oh, how pretty!! 
Have I said how much I LOVE this set?!
It is most definitely my favorite!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Harvest, Postcard Pals (sentiment)
Ink: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede
Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Poppy Parade DSP
Accessories: Classic Label Punch, Poppy Parade Striped Ribbon, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


This card is headed out in the mail today....destination unknown! Haha!
