Petals of Beauty Wedding

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Just a quick card to show you today using the Petals of Beauty bundle from the Online Exclusives. This bundle came out at the end of 2025 and I finally had some time to play with it. Wedding cards are scarce on my card rack right now so that is one occasion I need to work on. Do you keep lots of wedding cards on hand? I usually do not until someone requests one.

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Brushed With Beauty DSP (Online Exclusives)

Beautiful Motifs Wedding

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today I have a pretty card to share using the Beautiful Gallery Suite from the 2025-2026 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. At first when I seen this suite I wasn't too sure it would be something I would use. The Beautiful Gallery DSP is filled with gorgeous floral prints as well as some scenes which sometimes makes cards come together quite easy. I eventually decided to order it after seeing SO many amazing cards made with it. Gallery Blooms & Dies is the floral stamp set in this collection and the Beautiful Motifs & Dies is the set filled with sentiments and more floral dies. To date I have not used this suite of products much but I have created some cards with it for some upcoming Stamp Day w/ Friends get togethers once the holidays are over. The card I am sharing today is a wedding card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Motifs

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic Beige, Petal Pink, Beautiful Gallery DSP

Accessories: Damask Designs EF, Beautiful Motifs Dies, Nested Essentials Dies, Scalloped Petal Pink Ribbon (retired), Antique Pearls (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Now that I have created some cards with this collection of products I am glad that I purchased it! It gives such a vintage, antique feel to any card. And add the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to it for a beautiful card no matter the occasion! 

Hope you liked today's card!

Regal Flora

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!!

Today I am sharing some cards I made over the summer months with a retired bundle from the 2024 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog called Regal Flora. This set was a favorite of mine and I still enjoy pulling it out & inking it up! Even though this set was in the Holiday Catalog it's not really holiday related. Regal Winter is the name of the DSP that was in this suite of products and that gives me winter feels but again not holiday related. I have 3 cards to show you. The first one was for a wedding that Audrey requested and the second one was for my stash and the third one is another wedding card for Audrey that she asked for yesterday. She wanted it to be the same design as the first...

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam

Cardstock: Powder Pink (retired In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Lemon Lolly Enamel Dots (retired), Lemon Lolly Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Mixed Labels (retired Online Exclusives)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Regal Winter DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Nested Dies (retired) Dashing Designs 3D EF (retired), Mixed Labels Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Fresh Freesia Sequins (retired SAB 25), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

Stamps: Regal Flora (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink (In Color), Basic White

Accessories: Regal Flora Dies (retired), Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Daffodil Delight Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink In Color Shimmer Gems (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's the same design as the 1st card but I used different colors.

I think they all turned out quite lovely!

Wedding Day Card

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Our weather today is to get into the low 80's! Looking forward to a bit of warm weather for a change! Shawn is headed out fishing with his friend today. Seems like he has been waiting forever for a nice warm Saturday to go! I am gonna do a bit of dusting then possibly head down to do some crafting. I noticed yesterday that my tulips in the front flower bed opened. Beautiful red tulips! So pretty!

Last weekend I spent some time at my stamp table and I was going thru a box of images/diecuts that people had sent me over the years. I found a pretty flower diecut and a few Top Note diecuts and some stamped off images. I thought that they would make a pretty card. So, here is what I whipped up...

Card Details:

Stamps: Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Baja Breeze (retired)

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White (retired), Parisian Breeze DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Top Note Die (retired), Unknown Flower Diecut, Rhinestones, Sheer White/Silver Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It turned out really nice all thanks to my image/diecut box!

Only thing I had to cut was the card base and the bottom layer of DSP. 

Everything else was already done.

Another card for on the card rack, WooHoo!

Ben's Wedding Card

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have another card to share that was part of Audrey's card order that was delivered to her last week. This one is for her youngest grandson who is getting married in May. If you remember I made the bridal shower card almost like the shower invite. Here is the link if you want to see. Bridal Shower Card 

She sent me the wedding invite and it was the same as the bridal shower so this is the wedding card I made for it...

I used the same stamp sets with a bit of a different layout. I did not take a picture of the wedding invite this time but we laid the wedding card on top of the wedding invite and it all fell together so nicely! Audrey just loved it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Occasional Quotes (retired), Forever Fern (retired), First Frost (retired), Watercolor Garden (retired)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic Gray

Cardstock: Basic White, Highland Heather, Silver Foil Paper

Accessories: Frosted Bouquet Framelits, White & Silver Sheer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots,  Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is her last grandchild to get married but I have made bridal shower & wedding cards for each of her 5 grandchildren in the last 10 years and I feel like I know most of her family anymore. She is so beautifully blessed to have the family dynamics that she has! 

Well, yesterday I managed to get my house cleaned. It took all the umph I could muster up to get it done. Today I said I was going to do the downstairs. Granted, it's not that bad down there since it hardly gets used. This will be on my agenda this afternoon. I have been struggling a little bit with low energy since started the 5mg of Mounjaro. Thankfully that is my only side effect at this time as I know it could be worse. My blood glucose & blood pressure have been really good so the medicine is doing it's job. If you've seen the news (which I do not waste my time on anymore) there is a huge shortage for this injectable medicine. I'm fortunate that my insurance now wants a 90 day supply filled so I am good until the end of June. Hopefully these shortages end by that time!

So, with that said....I am off to get my day started and get the downstairs cleaned! LOL Oh, and Ryan requested Taco Tuesday's for supper! Quick & easy!

Thankfully we don't do Taco Tuesday's every week! LOL

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Audrey's Granddaughter's Wedding TODAY!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

I started yesterday taking down my Christmas decorations. 

The kitchen is done and maybe today I will work on my living room. 

Shawn will have to help with putting away the ceramic trees so that is why I said maybe today. He has his first physical therapy appointment early this morning so we'll see how much energy he has left! LOL

The card I am sharing today is a real beauty!

I was summoned by Audrey to create a wedding card for her granddaughter, Sara, whom is getting married today! I will share with you the wedding invitation first. I used a post it note over the information on it as I don't want to share that.

Then I created the card and laid it on top of the invitation...

I showed this to Shawn and he said how it matched the invitation!

Then I laid it out for Audrey to see....she was ecstatic!

And here is the card without the invitation...

Everything on this card is retired!!!

Card Details:

Stamps: First Frost (retired), Forever Fern (retired), Occasional Quotes (retired)

Ink: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Mossy Meadow, Sahara Sand (retired), Versamark

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

Accessories: Forever Flourishing Dies (retired), Frosted Bouquet Framelits (retired), Copper Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Burgundy Ribbon (retired), Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was so pleased with it and so was Audrey!

I will be anxious to hear from her this week to see how the wedding was.

I'm glad we are in for a nice but chilly day!

Nathan's Wedding Card

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

I am off to a dentist appointment first thing this morning, just for a cleaning.

After today I won't be going back until i'm ready for my next cleaning in 6 months. I have almost all of my dental work completed. I have one crown left to be replaced and decided I will wait until sometime next year to do it. Kelsey & Shady will be moving out next week and we have a few things around the house that need to be taken care of before winter arrives. It's always something when you own a home, isn't it?

Today I have a pretty card to share with you!

Audrey called with her next card order and she requested one for her grandson who is getting married Labor Day weekend. She gave me the wedding invite and I looked high & low for DSP that looked like it but came up empty handed. So, this is what I made for her.

Card Details:

Stamps: Suite Sayings (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Very Vanilla, Petal Promenade DSP (retired)

Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Everyday Label Punch (retired), Crochet Trim Chantilly Lace (retired), Very Vanilla Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I talked to her about this card and she said she will love whatever I make for her.

I'm alittle unsure of the lace trim on this though. I wanted to add some because after all it's a wedding card. I tied it into a bow at first but it bulked up the card too much so I just added it laying under the sentiment. I think every wedding card has to have lace on it!

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

My thoughts today...

My thoughts are with my sweet card lady, Audrey, as her cancer has returned.

She starts treatment today and i'm praying all goes smoothly for her.

If you recall, last summer she was doing treatment and suddenly went into shock and decided to stopped all treatments. She said at 92 she lived a long, happy life and has been blessed by the good Lord in so many ways. She recently found out her cancer has returned and told her Oncologist that she has to be around for so many life events coming up in next year and agreed to start treatment! She has 3 grandchildren getting married in the next several months and a granddaughter who is expecting her 2nd great grandchild to be born in November! So, yes, she has alot of life events coming up and I know if I was in her shoes i'd wanna be here to experience them with my family! I'm wishing her all the luck in the world and pray for her that she gets thru this.

I'll update you if I hear anything but please keep her in your thoughts & prayers!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Promenade Something Fancy Card

Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start! 

We have rain this morning so not sure what will be happening at the Aungst Pad today. We got the porches power washed yesterday then cleaned the windows, inside & out. It got up to 87 degrees here yesterday and by the time we were finished I ended up turning the ac on until this morning. I am so glad though that job is done. Next up is mulching the flower bed out front and getting the porch painted. I'm hoping it's done by Memorial Day weekend.

Anyways, today I have a pretty wedding card to share that was made for Audrey. She requested a wedding card for a family friend and did not want anything specific. I pulled out some retired Petal Promenade DSP from a few years back and got to work.

I used a bundle that came out in the 2023 January-April Mini Catalog called Something Fancy. It carried over into the new Annual Catalog which I was happy about. The set comes with some beautiful dies which I used on this card. The saying is a stamp from the same stamp set which I thought worked beautifully especially with that DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Something Fancy

Ink: Petal Pink

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Petal Promenade DSP (retired)

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies, Vanilla/Gold Ribbon, Festive Pearls, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was so pleased with how it turned out and Audrey loved it!

While I had this paper out and all my wedding stamps I made a 2nd card for on my card rack. I will share that one soon. My card rack only had one card in my wedding section.
