Friend Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week is going well so far!

We had some lovely sunshine yesterday but did not do much as far as the melting process goes because temps were only around 31 degrees. Today we are to hit 48 degrees so I hope alot will melt!

Over the weekend I had a few minutes to play at my stamp table. I pulled out some old stamps & paper to make some cards. The stamp set I pulled out was a wood mounted one called Heartfelt Thanks. I got this set when it first came out in 2005. When we did the move to Missouri in 2010 I sold this set to a friend. Last year the friend gave it back to me because she was getting rid of all her stamping stuff. This set was well loved over the years and I really wanted to just remind myself why I got the set in the first place. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Heartfelt Thanks (retired 2005), Linen Background (retired), Everyday Flexible Phrases (retired 2004)

Ink: Cranberry Crisp (retired In Color), Bravo Burgundy (retired), Mellow Moss (retired)

Cardstock: Cranberry Crisp (retired In Color), Mellow Moss (retired), Very Vanilla, Recollections DSP (retired 2006)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Tags to Go Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Elegant Faceted Dots (retired), Vanilla Twine, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

After my card was done I dropped my stamp onto my focal panel right above my friend tag. *sigh* I will need to redo that before this card leaves my stash. I was rushing to clean up. Tomorrow I will share the 2nd card I made with the same products. I always feels so good to pull out the old stuff and ink it up again! This set is a winner in my book and i'm so glad it's back in my collection!

Valentine's Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Friends!

We woke up to more snow this morning...I sure hope we aren't getting anymore anytime soon!

I was out and shoveled paths all over the backyard for Miss Bailee to roam around and do her business. Yesterday we got maybe 2 inches, today, 3 more. And on top of that it won't be melting anytime soon as it's to stay bitterly cold for atleast the next 10 days. I swear the older I get the more I was not made for these harsh cold temps!

It sure is pretty but the cold just chills me to the bone!

Today I wanted to share with you the cards I made for Audrey's great granddaughters, Evie & Malia. She now has 5 great grandchildren with another on the way this year. I used a mix of old & new for these cards...

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Valentines Day (retired), Unknown Alphabet Stamps

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Bubble Bath, Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Endless Love Dies, Heart Punch (retired), Tags to Go Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Hearts of Love 3D EF, Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon, Red Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so much fun to create and as usual, I love to mix up the products I use!

I will share the cards I made for her other 3 great grandchildren in a few days.

Hope I have inspired you to pull out all your Valentine's Day supplies and create something beautiful!

Branching Out

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Happy Christmas Eve!

Kelsey & Mr. Sushi arrived last night and today we are all hands on deck in the kitchen to make our Christmas Eve dinner! I also hope to squeeze in a walk since it's to be nice out for a change. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions you do? At some point we will get our pj's on, grab some hot chocolate and watch the Grinch. We've been doing this for quite a few years! 

Today I am sharing a set of cards made with the Branching Out Bundle that is in the 2025 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Branching Out, A Wish For Everything (retired 2019)

Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pool Party

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Basic White, Need for Tweed DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Branching Out Dies, Tags To Go Dies (Online Exclusives), Snowflake Sky 3D EF (retired), Old Olive/Early Espresso Twine, Neutral Matte Dots (Online Exclusives), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Branching Out bundle is a great set that can be used way past the holiday season since it's loaded with some great sentiments. I have packed away all my holiday stamp sets last week but this one will stay out on my table for a while. I am going to try to create some masculine cards with it once Christmas is over.

Changing Leaves Thanksgiving Set

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Hope your staying warm!

We've had quite the blast of cold air that chilled me to the bone but today our temps are to go back to more seasonal. YAY! My hubby was home yesterday sick with a cold that he has been nursing since Saturday. I hope he's on the other side of it now and I don't pick it up!

Today I have a set of Thanksgiving cards to share that I made recently. These are in my bin packaged with envelopes and ready to go. I used a retired fall set called Changing Leaves which was from the Online Exclusives list last year. I do believe it was a huge hit! I paired my stamps with some retired Plaid Tidings DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Changing Leaves (retired Online Exclusives), A Wish For Everything (retired)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Mango Melody (retired), Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Plaid Tidings DSP (retired)

Accessories: Changing Leaves Hybrid EF & Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Tags to Go Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Gold Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another set all ready to go! Now it's time to move on to some Christmas cards! It will be here before ya know it!
