Feel Better Soon

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

This is gonna be a short update today as I have a busy day ahead with preparing for a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together tomorrow morning! I am so excited to see my friends and make some cards with them!

My card today was made with all retired Stampin Up! products because I am trying to focus more on using up the retired stuff. I do have some new products like the Valentine's & Easter suites that are in the new 2026 Mini Catalog but that is about it. We all have lots & lots of retired products so let's use it up!

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Vellum, Basic White, Abstract Beauty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Hippo & Friends Dies (retired), Wanted to Say Dies (retired), Gold Metallic Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Low Profile Gold Dots (retired Online Exclusives), Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Vellum Tape, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So many people have been or are sick with lots of things going around since Christmas. Knock on wood, so far we have steered clear of any of it and I hope we can get thru winter without picking it up! I made this card to have on hand just incase I need it for someone who is under the weather.

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Another very cold day is on tap here in the northeast with snowing coming in tonight into tomorrow morning. Can you tell I am over winter? I love cooler weather but this 20 degrees with wind chills for a high temps is not for this girl! I think I am going to invest in long johns! LOL

Anyways, today I have a masculine card to share that was made with the Wanted to Say Dies which I tend to use alot for cards if I do not know who the recipient is. Usually Audrey will let me know if the person has a favorite hobby or activity but when she does not know then I turn to using these dies.

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Wanted to Say Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, Metal Plate 3D EF, Pecan Pie Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday we had 3 new doors installed which we put off long enough. We still have the back doors to do but that will come possibly in the Fall of the year when it's cooler. So, that being said I have another busy day ahead with cleaning up the mess. I will have to do some touch up painting but that will be another day! LOL 

I do have a cool masculine card to share with you! I created this card last year for one of my Stamp Day w/ Friends get togethers but since I stopped doing them for now I wanted to share it here.

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

It's looking like a great day ahead but it is a little more muggy out and it's to get to the mid 80's today. Most likely my AC will get turned on as some point but for now we are still enjoying the morning air. Miss Bailee is back to having her itchies which seems to happen every other year. I had some Apoquel medicine here for her so last night we gave her a dose before bedtime. She gets a little werid on medicines but it seems to be helping her and alot less itching & scratching.

 

Today I have the second birthday card for Audrey's twin grandsons. I loved how they both turned out and they were fast to whip up! I used the Wanted to Say Dies again...

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Basic White, Night of Navy DSP (retired)

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Wanted to Say Dies, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today I definitely need to get back to my stamp table to finish up Audrey's order.

Yesterday I took advantage of the lovely weather and sat outback most of the afternoon with Bailee. Days like that I wish we could bottle up for when it's cold & snowy. Today it's going to start feeling like summer so I will try to get her cards finished and stay cool at the same time!

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

This evening I have my check up at the doctors and i'm anxious to find out the results of my bloodwork from Saturday! I sure hope things are moving in the right direction! Fingers crossed!

Today I have a masculine birthday card to share with you that I made with the Wanted to Say Dies. These are perfect to use for a quick card and I hope in the future I can find more uses for it since it is loaded with several sentiment dies. This card is for one of Audrey's twin grandson's. I will share the other one later this week. I wasn't really sure what to make for them so I kept it simple and used some simple DSP and added this diecut to it. 

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Rock & Roll DSP (retired)

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Wanted to Say Dies, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Just your basic masculine card with nothing added and nothing popped up!

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Lots of sunshine outside today compared to yesterday!

It poured most of the day but by supper time the rain cleared out and the winds ramped up. 

I am hoping for a warmer week ahead!

Today I am sharing a card that I made for Audrey's good friend, Kit. In the last 11 years that I have been making cards for Audrey, I have heard so much about her friend, Kit, that I feel like I practically know her. LOL I know she also loves all things pink so that is why this card is all in pink...

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Bubble Bath, Basic White, Delightfully Eclectic DSP

Accessories: Wanted to Say Dies, Bubble Bath Ribbon, Rhinestones, Adhesive Sheets, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots of pink on this and Audrey loved it!

Wanted to Say Dies

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today we are in for more rain later this evening and more 50 mph winds. Those winds always worry me since our neighbors yard is lined with a million trees that could easily end up on my house. Let's hope they don't get that bad. 

I have an appointment late this afternoon with the Dermatologist for a Psoriasis check up. Other than that no big plans this weekend. It's going to get pretty cold this weekend so I am hoping to get working on my 2024 Calendars even though we are almost halfway thru January. Like I said yesterday, I'm always late to the party! LOL

The card I have to share today is one that Audrey requested for a friend that was turning 80. I made this using the Wanted to Say Dies that are worth their weight in gold! Love that Stampin Up gave us an entire set of sentiment dies!

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat, Garden Walk DSP (retired)

Accessories: Wanted to Say Dies, Alphabet A La Mode Dies, Wild Wheat Ribbon, Festive Pearls, Adhesive Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I wasn't crazy on the colors but I wanted to try using up some of the paper from the pack of Garden Walk DSP. In the end I did like how it turned out and Audrey loved it! I used the Adhesive Sheets when diecutting because it makes life so much easier! When using dies as thin as these you don't want to use liquid glue because it will always seep out and make a mess. I always forget that I even have the Adhesive Sheets until recently when I put the pack of it right beside the dies on my cart so when I reach for the dies I am reminded of the Adhesive Sheets and to use them. They always work like a charm!
