Splash of Color

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I want to share with you the last card the girls made last week at our Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. I saved the prettiest one for last!

Card Details:

Stamps: Layers of Beauty

Ink: Summer Splash

Cardstock: Summer Splash, Peach Pie, Basic White, Flowers in Bloom DSP

Accessories: Spotlight on Nature Dies, Butterflies Thinlits Dies (retired 2015), Peach Pie Ribbon, Summer Splash In Color Shimmer Gems, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This pretty paper comes from the 2025-2026 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. So far I have only got the paper and not the stamps or dies that coordinate with it. Their on my Wish List! LOL 

Yesterday we woke up to cloudy & much cooler weather than we have been dealing with. This morning it felt like Fall as I stepped outback with Bailee. I loved sleeping with my window open last night. It can stay this way the rest of the year! LOL

Market Goodness Fun Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

They are calling for some morning showers here today. I am headed out this afternoon for a quick haircut and hope to be able to get a walk in sometime. Yesterday I put away all my St. Patrick's Day decorations and dug out the Easter/Spring stuff. Then we had a chance to watch The Twister documentary that was on Netflicks. It brought back alot of memories from our time in Joplin, Missouri. If you haven't watched it, you really should! It's about the E5 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011. My family & I lived there when that horrible weather event happened. To this day the smells are something that I just can't describe. Here is a picture that I took when I lived there...it is the Healing Tree that stood next to the Dillon's grocery store.

Today I have a fun fold card to share with you! I made this card about 2 weeks ago on a whim and was just playing around. I used the Market Goodness bundle from the Stampin Up Annual 2024-2025 Catalog.

Card Details:

Stamps: Market Goodness

Ink: Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, Real Red

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, To Market DSP

Accessories: Spotlight of Nature Dies, Market Goodness Dies, Peach Pie In Color Ribbon, Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is a fun set to sit and play around with! So glad I got it.

There is no die to cut out the wood basket so I fussy cut it from the DSP.

Heart Shaped Thank You

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Today it feels like winter is back! It's only to be in the 30's today with a gusty wind which makes it feel even worse. I will be lounging in my recliner with my heated blanket today catching up on some Hallmark movies that I have missed. I'm also really fatigued due to a new dose of my medicine that I started Friday evening. I feel fine other than the fatigue. 

I have a pretty card to share that I made for a recent customer Thank You. I used the Heart Shaped SaleABRation bundle which is a beautiful set!

Card Details:

Stamps: Heart Shaped (SAB 25)

Ink: Fresh Freesia

Cardstock: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party

Accessories: Heart Shaped Dies (SAB 25), Starstruck EF (SAB 25), Spotlight on Nature Dies, Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon (SAB 25),  Two Toned Sparkle Gems (Online Exclusives), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My customer said she loved the card that was sent along with her Thank You gift.

Ok, that is all for me today!

Fingers crossed tomorrow is a better day!

Thinking of You

 Happy Tuesday, Friends!

It's a gloomy start to our day here. Snow is in forecast for this evening into tomorrow morning. Then round 2 is to start tomorrow evening. Crazy weather seems to be in the pipeline every other day. Hurry up spring!

Today I have a card to share that I made with using the Mediterranean Blooms suite from the 2024-2025 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. I haven't used it much because it screams summer time to me. The paper is very pretty and the die set has some really great shapes in it! This card is an off centered gatefold.

Card Details:

Stamps: Comforting Thoughts ( Online Exclusives)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Mediterranean Blooms DSP

Accessories: Spotlight of Nature Dies, Opal Rounds Assortment, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The lemon & flowers on the front I fussy cut from one of the sheets of paper. It wasn't too bad to do! I was really hoping there was a die to do that but there is not. I hope to use this bundle a bit more once we get some warmer weather.

What are you crafting today?

I have nothing in mind to play with today so I may just get started on Audrey's card order. She does not need it until March so no rush on it.

Hot Chocolate & Gingerbread Box

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today I have a fun Christmas treat to share that I am most excited about because I just love gingerbread men! Marisa over at Kitchen Table Stamper created the box for a Facebook Live about 2 months ago and I wanted to try my hand at it. I was going to use this box for my Thanksgiving table treats but that went out the window once I saw this Candy Cane paper at Michael's! Take a look...

Project Details:

Stamps: More Than Autumn, Amuse Sentiment

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Real Red, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Patterned Paper from Michael's

Accessories: Everyday Details Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies, More Than Autumn Dies, Cup of Cheer Dies (retired), Adhesive Backed Peppermints, White & Silver Sheer Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

In each box I have a Little Debbie Gingerbread Cookie, a pack of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, a test tube (retired Stampin Up) filled with Kraft Marshmallow Bits, and I added a Marshmallow Gingerbread that I got at Walmart. I also added a gingerbread pick that I got at Hobby Lobby. I made 6 of these and have more supplies if I need to make more. I just love these!!! 

Today is my Christmas Stamp Day w/Friends! I am excited to see my girls and make some cards. Miss Bailee has doggy day spa this morning so she will miss seeing the girls unless they are still here when she gets home. She loves visitors!

Tis the Season

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! 

It sure was chilly here in PA this weekend and with the cooler temps comes the falling leaves. I think we are at peak for the color of the leaves as well. I don't think they got as vibrant since it's been quite dry in my area. Many trees are already empty so it won't be too much longer before the trees are completely bare.

I have a Christmas card to share that I made recently. It uses lots of retired items as I am trying to use what's in my stash.

Card Details:

Stamps: Brightest Glow (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Traditions of St. Nick DSP ( retired)

Accessories: Labels Aglow Dies (retired), Spotlight on Nature Dies, Christmas Tidings EF (retired), Gold Sequins, Gold Trim, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My DSP is retired from last year and I found these 2 scraps in the bottom of the pack. I think this may have been the first time I used this embossing folder. It's so pretty and of course, there is a gingerbread guy on it which I covered with my DSP. LOL

 I am making a pot of Chicken Corn Soup this morning for supper to help warm us up!

It's been chilly the last few days. Then I am headed to my stamp table to play. Saturday I stamped as long as my hands would allow me too! I worked on a 3D project which I will share once I get some pictures taken. Today I am gonna work on a few cards with a new to me fun fold. So excited!!

Can you believe that it is the last Monday of October?!

Crazy how fast time flies by!
