Sprinkled With Love

 Hello & Happy Monday!

It was a beautiful weekend here in South Central PA! We had some nice sunshine and warm temps but as usual we are back to cooler temps today. 

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for my bin using a retired SaleABRation set from 2019 called Hey Cupcake.

Card Details:

Stamps: Hello Cupcake (retired SaleABRation 2019)

Ink: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Basic White, Vellum, All My Love DSP (retired 2018)

This is a fun set that I don't think I have used too much over the years but who wouldn't love a cupcake for their special day?!

With Sympathy

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Miss Bailee is at Doggy Day Spa this morning and I am looking forward to a fun afternoon stamping since Shawn is going away later on. 

Today I have a set of Sympathy cards to show you that I made recently for on my card rack. I like to work ahead while I have no card orders. 

I have so much is retired products that I keep because you just never know what you may need it for! LOL On these cards I definitely left the paper do all the work and they turned out beautifully!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lasting Lily (retired SAB 19)

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Basic White, Evening Evergreen, Symbols of Hope DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Soft Succulent In Color Jewels (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was the first time I pulled out this pack of paper since I purchased it almost a year ago! I wish I had purchased the coordinating bundle that was in this suite of products because there are dies that would cut those pretty flowers out of the paper. Isn't that how it always goes?!

Painted Season's Sympathy

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have another card to share from last Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends get together. 

I whipped up a Sympathy card using a variety of Stampin Up! products...

I love the pretty prints & patterns in this retired Painted Season's DSP. This was available back in 2019 during SaleABration and I am still trying to use it up whenever possible. The coordinating stamp set, Painted Season's also has the Four Season's Framelits as well. I hate when Stampin Up! brings out these amazing stamp sets with dies or punches and they retired them so quickly! 

As long as it's still in my stash...I will continue to use it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (retired), Peaceful Moments

Ink: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (retired)

Accessories: Four Season's Framelits (retired), Tailored Tag Punch, Dainty Diamonds EF (retired), Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Grapefruit Grove Enamel Dots (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Can't Thank You Enough

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

A hot & humid day is on tap with thunderstorms off & on all day!

I'm going to try to hide downstairs and do some stamping to pass the time.

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share that I whipped up a few weeks ago for my card rack. They did not last long as my card lady needed a pack on her last order. This set was inspired by someone on a Facebook page I belong too and they use retired products.

Card Details:

Stamps: So Sentimental (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, White Craft Pad

Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Basic White, Botanical Butterfly DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Brilliant Wings Dies, Layered Leaves 3D EF (retired), Highland Heather Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have so much retired stuff in my stash that pulling it out and using it again just makes me smile!

I used one of the Wonder Recipes for the card design.

Each piece of DSP measures 2x3 that are adhered on top of the embossed panel.

Any time you use an embossing folder it gives your card some nice texture!

Butterfly Gala Notecards

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your enjoying your weekend!

Yesterday we had a sign of it being springtime.

Our neighbor came over late in the afternoon and tilled up the garden for us!

We weren't expecting that for a few more weeks but now it's all done and ready for some vegetable plants to get put in. Not sure when Shawn will do that and this coming week they are calling for more cool weather.

Today it is cloudy but no rain yet.

I have laundry waiting on me and maybe I will hit my stamp table for a bit.

First though, I have a set of notecards to share that my card lady requested.

She loves her cards to write various notes in to friends & family.

She specifically asked for this butterfly paper that was from SaleABration 2019 called Botanical Butterfly.

This paper has butterflies in several colors.....Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Highland Heather, Grapefruit Grove & Balmy Blue.

I stamped one small butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and then stamped it with one of those colors and punched it out. I layered it onto a Stitched Circle and a Scalloped Layered Circle in that same color as the butterfly. I popped up the butterflies with a Mini Dimensional and added a Rhinestone to each. 

My customer does not like sentiments on some of her cards so she can use them for whatever would come along.

I really liked these with the circle panel on them and a different colored butterfly!

Card Details:

Stamps: Butterfly Gala

Ink: Memento Black, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Highland Heather, Grapefruit Groave, Balmy Blue

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Lemin Lime Twist, Highland Heather, Grapefruit Grove, Balmy Blue

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Butterfly Duet Punch, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was pleased with them and you know I don't care to make cards without a sentiment!

Masking Technique

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I've got another card that I did on Saturday when Debbie had a card class.

This card we did the masking technique on.

She had us trim down a post it note and lay it on our cardstock.

We stamped our images and then pulled up the post it note and it revealed the white space.

That is where we stamped out sentiment.

She used a big bold sentiment on her sample.

Card Details:

Stamps: Positive Thoughts, Part of My Story (SAB 19)

Ink: Seaside Spray, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point

Cardstock: Seaside Spray, Pacific Point, Whisper White

Accessories: Post It Note, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I gotta start a list of these techniques so I can use them for Stamp Day w Friends!

This one is fun & really easy!

Painted Season's HB

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Saturday my stamp get together went beautifully! 

Sunday, well, let's just say I was exhausted and glad it was done! 

I did not do much other than some laundry and watch football. 

I did get my stamp room back to it's normal set up and all stamps cleaned & put away.

I will be sharing more about my Holiday Hoopla event later today once I get pictures of my projects!

Today I have a set of birthday cards that my customer requested.

Something for this time of year and something that could be for a man or woman.

I was scratching my head on that one....

Then I went thru my Painted Season's DSP from SaleABration 2019 and found this pretty paper with the greens & pinecones! Perfect!

The pinecones come from the Painted Season's stamp set that was available during SaleABration last winter. The sentiment is from Perennial Birthday which is one birthday set that I use quite a bit!

But isn't that paper perfect for the month of December?! I think it's festive!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (SAB 19), Perennial Birthday

Ink: Call Me Clover, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Call Me Clover, Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (SAB 19)

Accessories: Four Season's Framelits (SaleABration Coordinates 19), Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Call Me Clover Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Painted Season's stamp set is also a Distinktive stamp set.

I love those types of stamps because it gives a realistic look to the image.

My card lady loved this set of cards which made me happy!

*************************************************************************

My thoughts today...

It's to be a rainy, dreary day here. It's pretty foggy out as I type this.

I need to go to my stamp table to work on an order.

I will be back later today with pictures from my Holiday Hoopla event so stay tuned for that!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your day!

Thinking of You

Hello & Happy Thursday!

It's still hot & humid here with a chance of storms later.

Yesterday we had some storms go thru and we got some nice rain for the garden!

Tonight is the Baltimore Ravens 1st preseason game!

I'm excited and just hope Shawn can get home in time to watch!

Today I am sharing a set of cards that is part of the recent card order for my customer.

She likes her Thinking of You cards....

Again I am trying to use what I have in my stash.

The sentiment comes from the Good Morning Magnolia set which by the way is a wonderful set filled with nice sentiments!

My paper is from SaleABration 2019, Botanical Butterfly DSP.

I thought this particular sheet would be perfect since the butterflies are out in full force this summer.

Retro Rubber Challenge #115

Hello again!

I'm back with a quick card that I made for the Retro Rubber Challenge #115.

This week they have a pretty color challenge for us!

I pulled out an oldie but goodie for this one!

Upsy Daisy was out in 2008 and was very well loved in my collection over the years!

I was happy to use it again today!

Everything on this card is retired.....even the DSP!

I had these strips already cut so I added them to a piece of cardstock and trimmed it down.

I stamped my daisy image in Daffodil Delight and my sentiment in Granny Apple Green.

The colors I used are:

Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green & Highland Heather.

Card Details:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy (retired)

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Whisper White, retired DSP strips

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Highland Heather Organza Ribbon (retired SAB), Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's very colorful don't you think?
