Happy Anniversary

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

It's been a busy week so far here. I have been working on more card kits for upcoming Stamp Day get togethers while I have no card orders. So far Audrey has only asked for a pack of cards with daffodils on and no saying so I will get working on them soon. Today I have the last card to share from Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. This one uses a variety of things which I will list down below.

Card Details:

Stamps: Always In My Heart (retired)

Ink: Blushing Bride

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Basic White, Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (retired), Fitting Florets DSP 

Accessories: Framed Florets Dies, Sunshine Wishes Thinlets (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Iridescent Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think this one was Miss Emily's favorite! She loved that oval hearts diecut! I need to remember to use those dies more often....they are so pretty!

Happy Anniversary Set

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well.

I'm feeling better and back at my stamp table.

Last week my card lady called giving me a nice order.

She asked for some Anniversary cards so I went to Pinterest to look for some idea's! 

I found a card by Mary Bush that caught my eye so I did a semi case of it!

What caught my eye about her card was the color!

I love blue for an anniversary card!

Card Details:

Stamps: Great Greetings (retired)

Ink: Dapper Denim (retired)

Cardstock: Dapper Denim (retired), Very Vanilla, Moraccan DSP (retired)

Accessories: Sunshine Wishes Thinlits (retired), Dapper Denim Enamel Dots (retired), Dapper Denim Twine (retired), Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yep, everything on this card is retired except the Very Vanilla Cardstock!

It's a wonderful feeling to use this stuff up!

And my card lady was really happy with them!

Sunshine Wishes Thinlits

Hello & Happy Monday!

Going to be a busy day!

My hubby is still home and I have made him aware that I need to get back to some stamping!

It's therapy for me! I will update you tomorrow on what is going on with him, too!

Unfortunately, I won't be stamping today since I need to do some housework.

With him being home and the pups in & out constantly taking advantage of the nice weather we've been having.....the inside of my house really needs some attention!

But, I do have a card to share today that I made with my last card order!

It looks just the same as the last one I made but different colors....

I loved this layout and I really love that diecut heart!

My DSP is from a retired pack of Pretty Petals DSP from a few years ago.

I do not know how I ended up with 3 packs of it though?!

Gotta get it used up!

Card Details:

Stamps: unknown Anniversary stamp

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Pretty Petals DSP (retired)

Accessories: Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Circle Layering Framelits, Old Olive 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dot, Dimesionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This one is very feminine and pretty with that flowery paper and my customer loved it!

I rather like it myself and hope you do as well!

My thoughts today....

Today is my youngest child's birthday!

Today she goes off our health insurance policy since she turns 26!

Man, i'm feeling old!

Happy Birthday, Kelsey!! 

That is all for now!

I will fill you in tomorrow on the last week of adventures!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Special Celebration

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday was a nice day spent with my hubby for his birthday!

We had a nice supper out and came home to relax the rest of the night.

It was a late start of the day for me this morning as I slept horribly last night.

Today I don't have much on my agenda, just some laundry and making a pot of chili for supper.

Quick & easy!

Today I have a quick card to share that I made for a recent card order.

My customer needed an Anniversary card for some special friends of hers and I thought this one would work great!

Sadly, the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits are retiring. 

I have had them for quite awhile but don't use them much so it was fun to use them!

The Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper was out a few years ago when Mint Macaron was one of our In Colors. I like this color and glad it's now part of the Subtles family!

Card Details:

Stamps: Special Celebration

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper (retired), Pretty Petals DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Banner Punch (retired), Basic Black 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I noticed I have 3 packs of this Pretty Petals DSP!

I better get busy on using it!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Saturday!

We are in for some awesome weather this weekend....finally!

This morning we are going to load up the bikes and head to the rail trail for a nice bike ride!

Can ya tell I am excited for it?!

Today I have a card to share that I made yesterday for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge.

They have some fun sketches every week so check them out & join in on the fun!

Here is the sketch and my card....

I pulled out a sheet of the Garden Impression DSP and used both sides of it to diecut the Stitched Squares out. My sentiment comes from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits and I used Night of Navy cardstock for that. I need some "Congratulations" cards for my card rack and this sketch came in hand just for that! 

Card Details:

Stamp: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: So Saffron, Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Garden Impressions DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Melon Mambo & So Saffron Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The little butterfly is also in the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits!

It's cute, isn't it?

I added some Melon Mambo & So Saffron Enamel Dots to finish this off.

Awesome sketch, ladies!

Congrats Card

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yippppeee we made it to the weekend!

As I said in posts earlier this week, I had a card order to work on. Today's card was included in the order. My customer will be traveling to see her grandson graduate. I'm not sure which branch of the military. She may have told me but I did not retain it. This card was made for him.

Having these diecuts surely makes a card go together much faster!

My customer was really happy about this card!

Of all the cards I made this was the one that stole the show for her!

Congrats Card:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper

Accessories: Lucky Stars EF, Star Framelits, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Rhinestone, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I wish all cards could go together as quickly as this one did!

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

My thoughts today.....

 Yes, I love looking forward to the weekends with my hubby!

Not too much planned for this weekend. He had an extremely busy week at work this week so i'm sure he will be taking it easy.

 I have a stamp get together tomorrow morning with my friends! So excited to make some Fall/Thanksgiving things! I will share them here next week!

That is all for me today!

Thanks so much for stopping by & have yourself an amazing weekend!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Friday!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I took some time off from blogging and stamping since my mojo seems to have gone on vacation without me! I hate when that happens and now I hope I am back on the road to being creative again....we shall see!

I played along with this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

 Here is the sketch and my card...

Such a fun card to create but boy, was I ever rusty trying to get back to stamping! I threw quite a few pieces of cardstock in the trash because I couldn't get something to line up correctly or because I smeared the ink. It's always tough for me starting back up after an absence and that's frustrating but I got thru it! Is anyone else this way?

For A Special Couple Card:

Stamps: Special Celebrations

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pop of Pink Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Banner Punch (retired), Melon Mambo Satin Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Hope you can stop by the Tuesday Morning Sketches and play along!

My thoughts today....

Here in south central PA they are calling for it to be very muggy with rain. We are under a Flood Watch since they are calling for possibly 3 or more inches of rain today into Saturday. 

Hope you all stay safe! 

That is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a great day!
