Merry Fishmas!

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Today is the day Shawn is set to get his Epidural Injection in his lower back.

I have been down this road 3 times and tried to calm him telling him what will happen. It really is nothing to worry about but I know since it's his first time he's worried. His appt is at 9:50 this morning and yes, it's snowing! His boss has graciously offered to take us and then come back to pick us up when he is ready to leave and he has a truck so no worries on getting there. Shawn is not allowed to drive afterwards and we were going to take an Uber. I guess I get to meet the boss today! Haha! I'll update tomorrow on how it goes...just say a

little prayer in hopes that it's a step in the right direction to help his pain.

Anyways, today I have a cool card to share that I made last month for Ryan. He wanted something special for Shawn for Christmas to put his Bass Pro Shop Gift Card in. I knew exactly what I wanted to make and everyone loved how it turned out!

Card Details:

Stamps: More Wishes, Alphabest, Warm Hugs (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, Let's Go Fishing DSP

Holiday Treat Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday!

1 Week till Christmas....Are you ready?

I am just about ready! 

Today I am working on Gift Card Holders that Ryan requested and I need a few too so that is on my agenda. 

I wanted to share with you a quick & easy treat box that I made. I'm not really sure what to call it but inside is a pack of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, a Little Debbie Frosted Brownie and a handful of Hershey Kisses. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Warm Hugs (retired)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Basic White, Garden Green, A Walk in the Forest DSP

Accessories: Kraft Gift Boxes (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Merriest Trees Dies, Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Project Details:

Stamps: Warm Hugs (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Basic White, Night of Navy, Beary Cute DSP

Accessories: Kraft Gift Boxes (retired), Circle Layering Framelits, Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, Wonderful Snowflakes, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This idea came from the Little Debbie Frosted Brownies. They had the Christmas tree brownies & the snowflake brownies. I made 8 of these. 

The box is retired from the 2022-2023 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog.

Recently they were on the Clearance Rack and I snagged another pack of them. 'They are nice for holding cards and all different kinds of treats!

Heartwarming Hugs

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

My girls are off to doggy day spa this morning and both my guys (Shawn & Ryan) are getting haircuts! After that I will probably work on some laundry and maybe start working on a card order. I said my weekend was gonna be boring since the heat & humidity are back.

Today I have a cool card to share that I made with the Heartwarming Hugs Suite in the new August - December Mini Catalog. I love, love, love the prints in the paper and one way to showcase them is with a starburst card.

Aren't those colors & prints pretty?

This paper could be used all year long, not just for Christmas as there are no snowflakes or other prints resembling Christmas. I love how colorful this one is!

Card Details:

Stamps: Warm Hugs

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Heartwarming Hugs DSP

Accessories: Warm Wraps Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Real Red Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin Seal Adhesive

The Heartwarming Hugs Suite is on pages 8-11 in the August - December Mini Catalog.

Another of my favorites!

Well, who am I kidding....I love pretty much everything in the Mini Catalog this year!
