Long Time No See Fun Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

The weekend is here and I think we are in for a nice day for a change!

The last few days have been dreary & showery due to a cold front and bands of rain from Hurricane Erin. Thankfully she is now headed off to the north and still out over the ocean. Even though she did not make landfall along the east coast she sure caused some flooding issues. We mostly got some rain showers & wind from it. 

Today the sun is to shine and warm things up nicely! YAY!!

Today I have a cool Christmas fun fold card to share with you! I can't remember the name of this card (maybe Pop Out Gatefold Card?) but I just love making them! I used a stamp set from the Online Exclusives list that came out a few months ago called Long Time No See. It has the cutest dog & llama image in it! I just had to get it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Long Time No See (Online Exclusives), Words for the Season (2025 Holiday Mini Catalog)

Ink: Memento Black, Old Olive, Stampin Blends-Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Medium Light Blends

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Need for Tweed DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Gold Striped Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Traditional Sparkling Sequins, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

I chose the llama stamp for this one since my friend use to raise llama's on her farm. I use to do the Holiday Craft Shows with her and in 2016 she retired from doing it. She put on some of the best craft shows in her barn each year and I have lots of fond memories of the llama's!

Christmas Greenery & Words for the Season

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

The weekend is here and it's looking like a beauty atleast here in south central PA!

Tomorrow, hubby is headed to the Juanita River fishing with friends so I am planning a day of stamping with all my new goodies! This past Tuesday was preorder day for Stampin Up! demonstrators for the 2025 Holiday Mini Catalog. I was up at the crack of darkness and placed my order. I have been saving my money & my rewards points for a few months so I was all prepared to go big or go home! LOL I got overnight shipping and my order arrived on Wednesday morning. So exciting but I really could not do much until my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine arrived on Thursday since my old one broke. Yesterday, I quickly made a card. Oh my Lordy, is it ever beautiful! The prints & colors are lovely and one you will want! So here is the card I made...

Card Details:

Stamps: Words for the Season

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP

Accessories: Christmas Greenery Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Traditions Sparkling Sequins, Real Red Shiny Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

My floral image was diecut directly from the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP. This paper is loaded with Gold Foil throughout and is it ever gorgeous! I also love the fact that we can diecut images directly from the paper. I am currently working on covering a notebook with some of this paper which I will share with you once I get it finished.

The Real Red Shiny Ribbon is one I would normally turn away from because of the width. I decided to give it a try and it's so nice to tie a bow with and it is not at all bulky! Oh, and the shimmer in this ribbon is beautiful! So far I am pleased with my purchase and hope to have more to share with you as it gets closer to the holidays!
