Wonderful Snowflakes Card

 Hello & Happy Friday!

A quick post today as Shawn & I head out the door to run some errands and do some shopping. Tis the season, right?

I have card #2 to share today from Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends event.

This is another quick & simple card!

As you know, when I have my Stamp Day get togethers I pull out retired sets as well as new ones to create cards. My girls do not mind since they aren't Stampin Up customers. They just like to make the cards and get together for some adult socialization! Little do they know that I look forward to seeing them and having fun just as much as them! 

This card uses a retired hostess set called Six Sayings that at one time was a favorite of mine! I paired it up with some SaleABRation paper, Peaceful Prints DSP. This paper is such a surprise with different prints & patterns which I have grown to love! I have 5 packs of it so it's a good thing I like it! LOL

Card Details:

Stamps: Six Sayings (retired hostess)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Peaceful Prints DSP ( SaleABRation 2021)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Wonderful Snowflakes, Ornate Layers Dies, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That beautiful iridescent snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes that Stampin Up is selling from the July - December Mini Catalog.

Can I just say how amazing they are and add a pop of sparkle to any project you use them on! I have gone thru almost 2 packs already!

I hope you liked this card and will stop back again tomorrow for card #3!

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

It's a rainy morning here once again.

It started last night with some sleet mixed in.

They are saying we are in for some winter weather on Thursday as well.

I'm not sure what happened to Fall weather but it seems winter has arrived already.

Today I have another card to share that my friends made on Sunday at our monthly get together.

This one was my favorite using the now retired Blended Seasons Bundle that was only available in August. The set has a variety of images in it and can be used for more than one occasion so I thought I would get more bang for my money with this set but to be honest....this was the first I used it. The bundle included the Stitched Season's Framelits and I have used those quite a bit, just not the stamp set.

The sentiment comes from a retired hostess set called Six Sayings that was in a Holiday Mini Catalog maybe 2 years ago. I love the font of it and how fancy it is! It worked beautifully on this card with those wheat stalks.

Card Details:

Stamps: Blended Season's (retired), Six Sayings (retired)

Ink: Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede Patterned Paper (retired)

Accessories: Crushed Curry Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Gold Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another card done for our upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!

Now to get them addressed and sent out in the mail!

Festive Flurries Card Set

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing a pack of cards I made for Christmas. 

All the supplies are retired except for the sentiment.

I used retired paper from a few years ago called Merry Moments DSP. That's not to be confused with the pack that is out now in the Stampin Up catalog called Merry Moments. They are 2 different packs that happen to have the same name. The package I used on this set of cards is now retired and I believe it was from 2009-2010.

My snowflakes are from the Festive Flurries stamp set with coordinating Framelits from 2013. This is one of my favorite snowflake stamp sets!

My sentiment comes from the Holiday Mini Catalog 2015. The set is called Six Sayings. It is a hostess set with really nice sayings in it. I love it!

Merry Christmas to You & Yours Card:

Stamps: Festive Flurries, Six Sayings

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Merry Moments DSP-2009-2010

Accessories: Festive Flurries Framelits, Hexagon Punch (flag ends), Vanilla Pearls, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape

That's all for me today!

Tonight is my stamp girls Christmas get together at Chili's! 

Can't wait to see the girls and share some laughs!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Happy Holidays!

Here is the sketch:

This stamp set called Six Sayings is a hostess set in the Holiday Mini Catalog and this arrived yesterday too in my SU order! I really wanted this set because there are some nice sentiments in it. I used this Happy Holidays  one today with some snowflake paper from the Season of Cheer DSP Pack. My cardbase is Night of Navy with a layer of Soft Sky that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Snow Falling Embossing Folder. I added a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper and a Snowflake embellishment from 2 years ago. I'm happy with this one! Hope you like!
