Sweetly Scripted Anniversary

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

A rainy day is on tap here in my neck of the woods. It seems like we have had alot of rain lately but we are still in a deficit and calling for about an inch today. Every little bit helps, I guess!

Today I have an anniversary card to share with you!

Again, it uses lots of retired products.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweetly Scripted (retired Online Exclusive), Waves of Inspiration (retired seagulls)

Ink: Lost Lagoon

Cardstock: Lost Lagoon, Wild Wheat (retired In Color), Everyday Happiness DSP (retired Scrapbook Catty)

Accessories: Seasonal Layers Thinlits (retired), Give It A Whirl Dies (retired), Rhinestones, Adhesive Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love this one! I may just use it for Shawn's anniversary card in July!

Waves of Inspiration

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

We are starting off the weekend on a hot & humid note! I don't know about you but I am ready for some cooler weather! I know it won't be too much longer as the start of Fall is alittle over a month away. 

Yesterday I had my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together! 

It's always nice to see my friends, chat and make some cards together. 

Today's card is one that we made using the retired Waves of Inspiration bundle from 2022. I always try to use this set and get a summertime card made. Deb loves anything beachy so this one was right up her alley!

Card Details:

Stamps: Waves of Inspiration (retired)

Ink: Pacific Point (retired), Balmy Blue, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pacific Point (retired), Basic White, Waves of the Ocean DSP (retired)

Accessories: Waves Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Snowflake Splendor Ribbon (retired), Waves Rhinestones (retired), Sponge Dauber, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I still have a good bit of this paper left but i'm slowly working to get it used up.

Maybe next summer I will try harder to get more cards made with it. The patterns and colors are so pretty! 

I know most everything on this card is retired but when the girls come over to make cards they do not mind that I use things that are long gone. They do not buy the stamps & papers like my Stampin Up! customers do. They just love to get together to create and have some fun adult socialization and that works for me!

Card #3 Lighthouse Sympathy

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Where did the weekend go? It flew past so quick!

Today I have card #3 to share with you from Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together.

I always try to incorporate a lighthouse into our "beachy/ocean" theme because Deb loves them! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Special Moments (retired SAB 22), Waves of Inspiration (bird)

Ink: Pool Party

Cardstock: Pool Party, Basic White, Dream A Daydream DSP (retired hostess)

Accessories: Lighthouse Dies (retired), Iridescent Pearls, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had all the bits & pieces cut and ready to go on this card so the girls just had to stamp and put their cards together. We got our cards done in less than 2 hours and then we sat and chatted for another hour! We always seem to have lots to talk about! :)

Card #1 Pink Waves

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Today is my Stamp Day w/ Friends get together!

The card I am sharing is one that we will make today. It uses the Waves of Inspiration Bundle. The theme for my Stamp Day is all things related to the Beach/Ocean!

I bet your wondering where I came up with the pink wave?

When this suite of products came out over a year ago it had a package of DSP that had this particular print in it. I went looking on the back on the pack for the colors related to the paper and found that Petal Pink & Calypso Coral were in it. I stamped my wave in Petal Pink ink and added some Calypso Coral ink to my rubber with a Sponge Dauber. And that is how my pink wave came to be. I love the softness of the colors and left the paper and the stamps do all the work on this one. I hope the girls will like this!

Card Details:

Stamps: Waves of Inspiration, Charming Sentiments (inside)

Ink: Petal Pink, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Basic White, Waves of the Ocean DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Sponge Daubers, Gold Swirls (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I better get ready...busy day ahead!

My thoughts today...

The beach particularly Ocean City, MD will always hold a special place in my heart. I went there as a little girl with my family and feel like every summer that was my home. I have lots of fond memories from there. Long gone are the days we spent there with my parents, my brothers, my husband and my kids. Crabbing, fishing, boat rides, arcades and walking the boardwalk. Some of the best times of my life. I haven't been there in several years and one day I hope to go back. 

That is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Forever Flourishing Card Set

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you had a nice weekend!

I got to my stamp table most of the afternoon yesterday and started working on Audrey's card order. I am hoping to finish up soon and get it delivered to her later this week. In the meantime I will start sharing what I made for her.

She requested lots of birthday cards so here is one set that she requested that could be for a man or a woman.

Card Details:

Stamps: Waves of Inspiration

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Soft Seafoam, Dainty Flowers DSP (SAB 23)

Accessories: Waves Dies, Forever Flourishing Dies, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how this set turned out but most of all I love the color combo!

Audrey seems like like the cards that have some sort of greens on them so I will keep making them for her. It's a good thing I have lots of patterned paper with greens on!
