Under My Umbrella

Hello & Happy Sunday!

I hope your all doing well!

I'm so sorry for being quiet over here on my blog.

I have not been feeling very creative and i'm still trying to put one foot in front of the other each day. 

My hubby's job has been quite demanding as well and when he is home he is drained.

I keep hoping that things will improve there.

I found a set of cards that I made for my card lady on her last order that I never shared.

This set uses the Under My Umbrella bundle.

Fortunately, this set has carried over into the new Stampin Up! Annual Catalog!

I was really happy to see that! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Under My Umbrella

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pleased As Punch DSP (retired- SAB Coordinates)

Accessories: Umbrella Builder Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is one of the last sets of cards I made for my card lady.

She just loves this umbrella and that saying!

I'm sure she is in major need of cards being that it has been a month since she last ordered.

I received the nicest letter in the mail from her this past week about my Dad's passing.

I will give her a call this week and i'm sure she will be ordering more cards as long as i'm ready to get back to my stamp table.

Under My Umbrella

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is going well and your staying busy!

We all could use a distraction from what is going on in the world.

I have been glued to the tv since this whole Coronavirus thing broke and i'm finding that it is driving my anxiety level thru the roof, which is not at all good for my psoriasis.

I have been stamping & making cards quite a bit (to distract me from the tv) and last week I decided to send one out to my dear friend, Deb. 

I used a new set from the Stampin Up! January - June 2020 Catalog called Under My Umbrella.

It also has a coordinating punch.

Over the years Stampin Up! has had several umbrella sets and i've never purchased any.

This one comes with some really cute sentiments and a pair of boots!

And even though I am so tired of all the rain we've had this winter, i'm still thankful it was rain & not snow!

The patterned paper is from the SaleABration Coordination products that were available this year.

So many pretty prints and those raindrops and umbrella's were apart of it!

The sentiment on my card is perfect for what I wanted it to say to my dear friend.

We've been friends since 1994 when we moved in beside her and became neighbors.

Thru the years we've sold that house beside her and moved to Joplin, Missouri then moved back to Pennsylvania again, she has become a very, very dear friend and has always been there for my family & me, No Matter the Weather! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Under My Umbrella

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Balmy Blue, Whisper White, Pleased As Punch DSP (SAB Coordination)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Umbrella Builder Punch, Daffodil Delight Organdy Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm happy to be able to share this card now that I know she has received it!

If you have any cards laying around, send them out to a friend or family member and let them know your thinking of them since we are all under the social distancing thing.

It is sure to brighten someones day!
