Sugar Sprinkled Treats

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have another sweet treat to share!

This one uses some leftover pieces from last years Christmas Treats that did not sell. Who knew that Candy Canes were not a good seller!

This is last year's Christmas Treat that I made.

And since I put alot of work into making those tags I thought i'd try to redo them and use on another project this year.

I cut the ends off of each tag and adhered them onto my cello bags with Dimensionals.

My cello bags measure 3x5 and I was able to get 6 Reese's PB Miniatures in each one. I put a small piece of scotch tape on them to hold the bags closed and so far out of 8....I only had 2 left. I sent those 2 to my card lady's house with the rest of my candy treats.

Project Details:

Stamps: Itty Bitty Christmas (retired), Gift Wrapped (retired)

Ink: Real Red

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

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Wrapped in Texture EF (retired), Bow Builder Punch (retired), Tasteful Labels Dies, Gold Cord, Jingle Bells (non SU), Real Red Sheer Ribbon, Cello Bags, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the Gift Wrapped Bundle from last year!

I am thinking of pulling it out today to work on a few Gift Card Holders that I need for gifts this year. It seems I am always a last minute Lucy when it comes to getting my things done for Christmas! LOL Atleast I still have time, right?!

SaleABration Delicate Dahlia

 Hello & Happy Labor Day!

I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend!

It rained off & on all day yesterday.

We ran to get my haircut first thing in the morning then did a fun little trip in the afternoon down to Towson, MD. I think I yawned the whole way there & back because it was so dreary! Glad today it is to be sunny!

Not sure what is on my agenda today but after all the running around we did the last 3 days....sitting on my butt would be nice! LOL I do think my laundry basket is calling....sigh!

How are you spending your Labor Day holiday?

Today I have a card to share that I made for that card order I worked on last week.

I pulled out a stamp set from the 2nd SaleABration Catalog called Delicate Dahlia.

I love this set....just wish it had coordinating dies!

I was thinking ahead to Fall when I made this and used Pumpkin Pie ink and some Woodgrain DSP. Love how this turned out!

Card Details:

Stamps: Delicate Dahlia (SAB 21), Beautiful Day (sentiment, retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, In Good Taste DSP

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Wrapped in Texture EF (retired), Frightful Tags Dies, White Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card along with the rest of the big order will get delivered one day this week.

I think she will love this one since nothing is popped up!

Sending Love Your Way...

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

The snow finally stopped just before noon yesterday!

It was cloudy the rest of the day with winds around 25mph.

Today we have some sunshine to help melt that snow!

And did you see the groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter?!

Not exactly what any of us on the east coast want to hear! LOL

Today I have another Valentines Day card to share using the opposite piece of From My Heart Specialty DSP from the card on Monday.

This is just the opposite of the layout from Monday's card because I did not want to waste that pretty heart paper! My sentiment was stamped on Whisper White cardstock and hand cut with my paper trimmer, Then I added a hole with my retired handheld hole punch so I could tie some Red Twine on it. I popped it up on Dimensionals and was done!

I made 5 cards using these same layouts but using all different sayings from different stamp sets.

I had to dig to find some that would work for Valentines Day and I love how they all turned out!

I will share the rest tomorrow!

Card Details:

Stamps: Posted For You

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, From The Heart Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Wrapped In Texture EF (retired), Heart Punch Pack, Handheld Hole Punch (retired), Red Rhinestones, Red Twine, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal+

Roses Are Red...

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I'm so over the cold and now snow & sleet we're experiencing today!

The last several weeks we had temps in the 40's & 50's and I was happy with that!

The very cold came in and it just drives my back crazy.

I have osteoarthritis in the facet joints in my lower back and it really does not take much to make it ache.

Anyways, it's just a yukky kind of day so I am going to go work on some stamp projects before Shawn gets in from work.

I have a Valentines Day cards to share today that I made with a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches from last year. This is the card I made back in November and I really loved the sketch so I wanted to use it again for some Valentines cards!

Here is my new card using that same sketch...

This card started out with a Real Red cardbase then a layer of Whisper White that was run thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Next I used a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders that are now retired. They will stay in my collection for awhile as I love them!

Next I added a piece of From My Heart Specialty DSP from last year. I think it was cut at 3 3/4 x 3 then cut on the diagonal. I layered that over top of the Flirty Flamingo & Whisper White panels. I punched those pretty hearts from the same package of DSP and laid one flat and the other is popped up with dimensionals,

My sentiment comes from the Heartfelt stamp set which is still current. 

I stamped it on Whisper White in Real Red ink and diecut it with the Ornate Frames Dies.

I added a piece of Real Red Twine and some Red Rhinestones and called it done!

Card Details:

Stamps: Heartfelt

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, From My Heart Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Heart Punch Pack, Wrapped in Texture EF, Tastefully Textile 3D EF, Ornate Frames Dies, Red Twine, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I actually made a few cards like this but all are a bit different!

I will share them later this week so make sure to stop back!

I was pretty pleased with this and I hope you like it, too!

I hope tomorrow to get back to my stamp table and get working on Thanksgiving.

Today I have a cute pack of Birthday cards to share that my card lady asked for.

With Sympathy Gatefold Card

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Saturday into Sunday we finally got some nice rain! It also got cooler & less humid out which i'm thrilled about. I think we are in for a nice week ahead that I can turn off the ac and let the windows open! YAY!!!

Today I am sharing card #2 from my Stamp Day w Friends get together!

Take a look...

This is such a fun fold and very easy to create!

I've been trying to make more cards with fun folds for a change.

This card uses a variety of things which I will list below in the card details.

Card Details:

Stamps: Framed For You, Here's A Card (inside)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Bumble Bee

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Bumble Bee, Whisper White, Forever Greenry DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Wrapped in Texture EF, Bumble Bee Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The stamp set I used on this is called Framed for You. 

It is a million dollar achiever set created by Terri Gaines.

I love the sentiments included as well as the different images! 

It is also a Distinktive set.

The embossing folder I used on the larger circle layer is from the August-December catalog.

It comes from the Heartwarming Hugs Suite on pages 8-10.

Granted I had everything cut & embossed but this card came together very quickly!

All the girls had to do was the stamping and assembling!

This was my favorite card!
