Seasonal Sprays Sympathy

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

Yesterday turned out to be rainy & dreary out so I spent most of the day at my stamp table playing with some Christmas cards! Yep, I know, way to early to be thinking of Christmas but I went to my stamp table thinking...what am I gonna make today?! I seen a Christmas card that inspired me so that was the route I took! LOL

So, I'm not sharing a Christmas card today but I am sharing a Sympathy card that I was inspired by from a very old (2000-2001) Stampin Up Annual Catalog. I pulled out the lovely (retired) Seasonal Sprays wood mounted stamp set and got busy!

Card Details:

Stamps: Seasonal Sprays (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired), Weathered Background Stamp (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Bordering Blue (retired)

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Bordering Blue (retired), Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Something Fancy Dies (retired), Gold Trim, Pressed Flowers Gold Dots, Glue Dots, Stampin Seal Adhesive

I love casing a card and changing things up to make it my own. I get so easily inspired by the catalog samples so always make sure to use your catalogs as a source of inspiration! I was also thrilled that I still have a good bit of Bordering Blue cardstock left & a very inky ink pad! It was a great day of stamping!

This card has been added to my bin of cards that I am working on. It's not often I have time for card making for myself but when I do I try to get cards made that I know are good sellers. I also like to take a variety of different cards and place them in a cello bag with envelopes and gift them to people. Audrey loves when I do that for her as a little Thank You. 

Anyways, I am back to my stamp table today for some inky fun!

I really need to get working on July 4th cards since that will be here before we know it!

Easter Bunny Cards

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

We're moving thru the week pretty quickly!

Today I have a set of Easter cards to share with you that I made using some old stash. I was going thru some old papers the other day and found a pack of 12x12 papers from Making Memories. Actually it was a scrapbook kit. I cut the papers down and made a set of cards with it. I also paired it with an old Lockhart Bunny stamp that's been in my stash since 2008. To be honest, I'm not even sure if Lockhart Stamps is still in business these days but I have a whole drawer full of stamps that I need to dust off and use.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lockhart Bunny, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends- Pretty in Pink, So Saffron (retired), Copic Markers BG 10 & BG 11

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Soft Sky (retired), Basic White, Making Memories ( Garden Party)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Countryside Corners Dies, Duet Banner Punch (retired), Soft Sky Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink Resin Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This paper is so pretty and how perfect for spring!

I had a wonderful time playing with the old goodies from my stash. I am planning on doing more of that in the days to come! 

Hope you enjoyed!

Sara's Bridal Shower Card

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Another beautiful day is upon us here in south central PA today and most of the weekend!

I got Audrey's card order delivered last evening. It was so nice to visit with her and catch up on things. She looked better this time and was just in a great place with just getting home from seeing her newest great granddaughter! The card I am sharing today was part of her card order. This is for her one granddaughter that is getting married in December. She got invited to another bridal shower for her and that is why she asked for a 2nd card. I pulled out a bunch of old stamps till I found something that worked well for this.

I used a retired set called Weather or Not. It is a wood mounted set which I think was from maybe 2005? I will double check that when I get back to my stamp room.

I stamped that row of umbrella's in Night of Navy several times using my Stamp A Ma Jig.

The sentiment came from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes which I stamped with Baroque Burgundy which has been long retired. My sheer Navy Ribbon is retired too but wow, does it ever tie a nice bow. I wrapped some retired Gold Twine around it and tied another bow. I just love the ribbon treatment on this! Audrey loved it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Weather or Not (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Baroque Burgundy (retired)

Cardstock: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Gold Foil Paper, Basic White

Accessories: Classic Label Punch (retired), Festive Pearls, Navy Sheer Ribbon (retired), Gold Twine (retired), 2 Sided Tape

I have a busy day ahead with getting some things on my stamp table finished up and laundry to do. Tomorrow night we are headed to a Paul Cauthen concert which will be fun!

Sunday will be a day of rest with watching football. 

I'm tired just thinking about it! LOL

Halloween Hershey Kisses

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Hope your weekend is going well!

Yesterday Shawn did get the garden & flower beds cleaned out while I got my Halloween treats all finished! YAY! It rained off & on all day with fog most of the day. This morning the fog is heavy!

I am off for a haircut this morning then grocery shopping.

No football today as our Ravens play tomorrow night.

I am sharing a Halloween treat today that I whipped up yesterday!

I found these Monster Hershey Kisses at my local Giant store so I grabbed them.

I was going to make a variety bag of candy and decorate them but decided to just go with using these adorable kisses by themselves!

I had in my stash of cello bags some old ones that Stampin Up use to carry measuring 3x5.

I threw a handful of kisses in them and decorated them using the Celebration Labels & Dies and the Banner Year stamp set! The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I think these are one of my favorites candy treats I made so far!

Project Details:

Stamps: Banner Year, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Granny Apple Green DSP (retired)

Accessories: Celebration Labels Dies, Tasteful Label Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots (retired), Halloween Night Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm hoping today to get these treats delivered!

I made sure to buy all candies that were individually wrapped with the Covid thing this year.

My hands are now ready for a nice rest then I will finish working on Thanksgiving treats!

Yep, I already started them! It gets crazy sometimes working on multiple holidays at one time!

A day in the life of a crafter!

Turkey Peppermint Patties

Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

My hubby made it home around noon yesterday from his week long trip to Wisconsin!

He got in, had some lunch then took a long nap!

Traveling just wipes you out when you are up at 3am!

While he napped I went off and worked on my Christmas M&M Sticks and did some laundry.

It's good to have him home!

Today I have another yummy Thanksgiving Treat to share with you!

York Peppermint Patties are one of my favorites and these were quick & easy to whip up!

Thanksgiving is coming fast and these were quick to whip up since I found the felt turkeys at Hobby Lobby. These were adhesive backed so I just peeled off the backing and placed it on my cello bag topper. My sentiment comes from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes set and was punched out with the Classic Label Punch and added with 2 Mini Dimensionals.

Project Details:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Mango Melody, Whisper White, Mango Melody DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Cello Bags, Stapler, Mini Dimensionals, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So fun!

My card lady said that there were a few of these yummy peppermint patty treats left but by the time Thanksgiving comes they most likely will be gone.

Yippee Skippeee!

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

My thoughts today...

I agree!

When I did craft shows I was always decorated before Thanksgiving!

This year I am waiting for Thanksgiving to start putting my trees out upstairs and decorating my front porch. I just feel like Thanksgiving kinda gets the short end of the stick!

Have you started to decorate for Christmas yet?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy your day!

Color Challenge 389

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Another gorgeous day here in south central PA! 

One of those days I have to fight with myself to go downstairs and stamp but I did it!

I went to SCS to find out what the colors were for today's Color Challenge 389.

The colors are: Summer Starfruit, Bravo Burgundy & Regal Rose!

Of my, what a combination!

I thought & thought on this all afternoon while organizing my ribbon drawers and finally got something created! Not sure how much I like it but here it is....

I pulled out an old SU set called Seasonal Sprays and stamped it fully in Bravo Burgundy. My mind went towards Fall. I then used the Regal Rose as a layer under my white cardstock that I embossed with the Square Lattice EF. My main image I layered onto a piece of Bravo Burgundy and punched it with the SU Eyelet Border Punch and added some Summer Starfruit Ribbon.  Lastly, I added the sentiment and attached everything to the Bravo Burgundy cardbase. No pearls or rhinestones on this one. Trying to keep some of my cards flat for easy mailing. This one will be going in with my Aunt's huge card order!

I have to say that I kinda like it but that piece of Regal Rose cardstock just throws me off a bit.

What do you think?

Color Challenge 389 Card:

Stamps: Seasonal Sprays, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Bravo Burgundy

Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Regal Rose, Whisper White

Accessories: SU Square Lattice EF, SU Eyelet Border Punch, Summer Starfruit Ribbon, Circle Punches, 2 Sided Tape

Well, that is all for me this evening!

I'm off in search of a really good apple pie recipe! Apples are just coming into season here and Shawn brought some home last evening. I have a craving for a homemade apple pie and maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!:)

Thanks for stopping by & have a good nite!
