Christmas in April

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

I was out yesterday and cleaned out one of the flower beds.

There is still one more and hopefully my hubby can do that one next weekend.

I woke up this morning with another UTI.

These are starting to be a real issue.

My doctors office is closed so I did not try to contact them.

I have some antibiotics and some AZO here that I started.

If it doesn't get any better in a day or so I will contact the office.

So for now, I am taking it easy with my heating pad & lots of water!

Today I have a card to share that I made with one of Debbie's online card classes.

These classes have been a blessing and i've enjoyed them!

This one was a Christmas card in April and it was made just like her sample.

I made some changes to it but it's pretty much just like her card.

And of course, you know that I love a fun fold style!

Card Details:

Stamps: Dashing Deer

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Pacific Point DSP

Accessories: Details Deer Thinlits, Quilt EF, Classic Label Punch, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I would have never thought to use Real Red and Pacific Point together for a Christmas card!

That is why I love her classes and she has a real knack for using different color combinations!

I will be sharing this one with my Stamp Girls once we can get together safely to stamp again!

Congrats!

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope y'all had a nice weekend!

Today the bathroom guys are back.

I'm up early and ready for what the day brings!

I am sharing a sweet little baby boy card today!

I recently got a stamp set from Ebay called A New Little Someone.

It has the cutest little bunny!

I colored my bunny with a blender pen using Crumb Cake & Pool Party ink pads.

I haven't done that in ages since the Copics & Stampin Blends came out!

Card Details:

Stamps: A New Little Someone (retired), Verve Stamps (sentiment)

Ink: Memento Black, Pool Party, Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pool Party, Twinkle Twinkle DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Quilted EF (retired), White Pearls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card rack needed lots of baby cards and this stamp set worked beautifully for that!

I will share them soon!

Labels to Love

Good Morning, Everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm up early this morning to get my housework done and to get my Stampin Up order in!

Today is the first day to order from the Holiday Mini Catalog and I will tell you that it is a really good one!  I have been saving up for today and ordered a bunch of new goodies! It also helps that my birthday was yesterday and I got cash for gifts! 

Before my day gets busy I wanted to share another set of Christmas cards I made over the summer.

This set uses all retired products.

Labels to Love is a set that was out a few years ago and had the coordinating Everyday Label Punch which I used a bunch! It has stamps for a bunch of different holidays.

My card also uses the retired Quilted EF. This is one of my favorite embossing folders as I love the design of it! 

This also uses last years paper called Farmhouse Christmas DSP. I used the daylights out of this pack last year and i'm down to scraps now.

Card Details:

Stamps: Labels to Love (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Farmhouse Christmas DSP

Accessories: Quilted EF, Everyday Label Punch, Triple Banner Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Gold Trimmed Ribbon, Gold Metallic Pearls, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think this set is one of my favorites with that embossing folder and pretty papers!

And I really like this design!

Hope you like them too!

My thoughts today....

Going to get it all done so when the new goodies come I can sit and play for a few days!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your day!

Retro Rubber Challenge #114

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am back with an adorable Christmas card made with the Retro Rubber Challenge in mind!

I've been working on getting holiday cards made so I am not swamped once the holidays arrive!

I love the idea of Christmas in July!

The stamped snowman is from a Stampin Up set from 2000 called Thanks Snow Much.

My card is 5 inches square and I used lots of Stitched Shapes (square) on it.

The embossed panel is from the Quilted Embossing Folder which is also retired.

The DSP is from 2014, Trim the Tree. I have 3 pads of this which I am going to work on using.

Card Details:

Stamps: Thanks Snow Much (retired), Joyous Celebrations (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin Blends, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Garden Green, Whisper White, Trim the Tree DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Quilted EF (retired), Cherry Cobbler Twine (retired), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Always fun using the old stuff!

I hope I can keep the momentum going because I have LOADS of old stuff that I would be happy to use up!

Check out the Retro Rubber Challenge and play along!
