Petal Palette

Hello & Happy Friday!

So happy the weekend is here!

Hopefully that sun will continue shining brightly to melt the snow!

Today I have a set of cards to share that was for my customer.

I made her a card a few weeks ago thanking her for a sweet treat she gave us and she loved the card so she ordered a pack but changed out the sentiment to a Thinking of You. 

I'm not sure if you can tell in the last picture but I added some clear Wink of Stella to the roses for some shimmer. It really makes them stand out.

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Petal Palette, Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts (sentiment)

Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Accessories: Petal & More Thinlits, Garden Trellis EF, White Pearls, Clear Wink of Stella, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think I am hooked on those roses! I designed a card to make with my stamp friends using this set. 

I will share it with you next week!

Easter Card Set

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your all safe & sound!

We survived this recent Nor'easter here in PA but we are dealing with lots & lots of snow & windy conditions now. Thankfully, the sun is up and shining nicely so maybe the melting process can begin!

My dedicated hubby headed back to work today. Not sure what Baltimore got as far as snow totals but the boss called a 2 hour delay for them. Maryland roads are usually pretty decent so hopefully he has no problems.

So, today I have a set of Easter cards to share that were made for my customer.

She requested 2 packs of Easter cards. I already shared the Tranquil Tulips cards and now this is the 2nd set. 

I used a retired sentiment for on this set. I love the font on this beautiful sentiment, too!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Suite Sayings (retired)

Ink: Wisteria Wonder

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder, Delightful Daisy DSP

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Glue Dots, Wisteria Wonder Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Once again I tried to let the paper do all the work and added a lovely saying!

Customer was happy with them! Yipppeee!

Easter Hello

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

We are in the mist of Nor'easter #4 and this one did not miss us this time!

It started to snow yesterday here in Red Lion/ York County around 10 am.

It snowed until around 8pm Tuesday evening and started back up around 4 am this morning with part 2 of this Nor'easter. We had around 7 inches yesterday. Today we could possibly get up to 2 foot once it's said and done. It is coming down pretty heavy and by looking at the radar....there is no end in sight!

First day of Spring was yesterday and we are getting hammered with a whopping Nor'easter! 

Shawn came home early afternoon yesterday. Accidents were every where but thankfully he got home safely! Today he is working from home!

I have a cute Easter card to share today.

It was made with a leftover bunny from my M&M Sticks.

I finally inked up the one huge Easter Egg stamp that is in the stamp set. I love how clean & crisp the image turned out once I realized I had to put my foam mat under the cardstock to stamp it. Perfect image every time!

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Hello

Ink: Marina Mist, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Marina Mist, Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Marina Mist Enamel Dot, Ribbon (from stash), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am in love with that adorable little bunny!

He's so cute!

Lift Me Up

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Woke up to cloudy skies this morning. 

The weather is calling for rain & snow today then change over to all snow this evening.

Shawn was up early to head in to work before the weather started. He had rain & sleet mixed in his travels to Maryland. I have a feeling it will be a short day for him. If we get the foot of snow they are predicting...he will more than likely be home tomorrow. This is our 4th Nor'easter in about 2-3 weeks! Not sure what's going on with Mother Nature but I hope this is the last of the winter weather. For Heaven's sake....today is the 1st day of Spring!! 🌷🌸🌼🐇

I have a pretty set of cards to share today that I made up for my card rack. I used the Lift Me Up stamp set and the Up & Away Thinlits. So fun to use!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Lift Me Up

Ink: Soft Sky, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Whisper White, Falling For You DSP (retired)

Accessories: Up & Away Thinlits, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I completely love this set! 

I may end up using these for myself instead of selling them. Love the springtime feel to them and that big hot air balloon is just so stinkin cute! 

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

My thoughts today....

I'm glad I had a picture of something with a snowman on since we are to get snow tonight & tomorrow. Spring will get here, eventually!

That's all for now!

I'm off to shower & get my day started!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Big On Birthdays

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

A late start for me this morning!

Shawn got up for work and I must have fallen back to sleep and died! Finally about 9:45 the doggies were jumping all over me to get me up! And it's such a beautiful morning filled with lots of sunshine.....for now.

So today I am sharing 2 cards made for my customer who requested something special for her 2 granddaughters who have birthdays in April. I pulled out that beautiful Petal Garden Pack and got to work!

Petal Garden DSP is every bit as lovely as it's name! Such pretty colors and it's one of those papers that will do all the work for you!

Card Details:

Stamps: Big On Birthdays

Ink: Calypso Coral, Sweet Sugarplum

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Sweet Sugarplum, Pool Party, Whisper White

Accessories: Pool Party Enamel Dots, Pool Party Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm hoping my pretty springtime cards will bring on Spring tomorrow instead of snow. Keeping my fingers crossed! 🌷🌸🌼🐇

Easter Hello Wood Crates

Hello & Happy Sunday!

It's looking like a beautiful day here in south central PA!

I am hoping to go to the Rail Trail this afternoon for a walk and take advantage of the sunshine and 50's!

I want to share another Easter Treat today!

These are probably my favorites!

My customers loved the Wood Crates done up at Christmas time so I wanted to make them again but with the colors of spring. I found the Easter Grass at Michael's  and loved the pops of color it brought to the each crate. My tag on the cello bags was cut using a die in the Popcorn Box Thinlits. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Easter Hello, You're Inspiring (sentiment)

Ink: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Pool Party

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Popcorn Box Thinlits, Wood Crates Framelits, Cello Bags, Blushing Bride & Pool Party Twine, Rhinestones, Handheld Hole Punch, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I filled each cello bag with a bite sized Snickers, Twix, 3 Muskateer, Milky Way bars plus a Reese's PB Egg. Lots of chocolate yumminess!

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

My thoughts today....

Technically Tuesday is the first day of Spring but we may be getting another snow storm. It's still up in the air whether it will be rain or snow. 

I'm hoping for rain so that our spring bulbs will start blooming! 

That is all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your day!

Guy Greetings

Hello & Happy Friday!

So happy the weekend is here!

I busted my butt this week on Easter Treats & a card order. 

Now I need to sit and create some cards to make with my stamp friends next weekend!

I hope some creativity comes to me! LOL

Today I have a masculine birthday card.

I left the paper do all the work!

I got this pack of Designer Series Paper a few weeks ago and wasn't really keen on it at first.

It's grown on me and one thing I do like are the colors in it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Guy Greetings

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, True Gentleman DSP

Accessories: Tailored Tag Punch, Gold Metallic Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yep, quick & easy and flat for mailing!

We Must Celebrate

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your all having a great week! We're almost to the weekend!

Today I have another treat to share for Easter.

I used some Take Out Boxes that I found at the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. 

8 boxes for $1.00! Can't beat that! 

Oh and they are really sturdy too!

I put some shred paper in the bottom of these and added a bunch of Hershey's Chocolate Eggs with Hershey's Miniature's candy bars. Filled the box up nicely!

Project Details:

Stamps: We Must Celebrate (bunny), Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Powder Pink, Whisper White

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Daffodil Delight Enamel Dots, Bermuda Bay Shimmer Ribbon (SAB 18), Glue Dots,  Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

You could easily add a few bucks or even a gift card to these at Easter.

I usually do this for my grown kids! LOL

Candy & money go hand in hand!

My thoughts today....

Our winter is just not going anywhere!

I suppose Spring will get here eventually!

That's all for now!

Bunny Treats

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

A late start to my day and on top of that I have a busy day ahead!

I wanted to share a cute treat I made up for Easter.

This just uses that adorable bunny from last year's Easter set called, Basket Bunch.

I picked up some Hershey's candies and put them in a cello bag and added the adorable tags!

My tags are a piece of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 piece of cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the new Basket Weave EF. I used a retired Corner Notch punch on all 4 corners. Added a hole at the top. Put my bunny on with Dimensionals and stamped my sentiment which was punched out with the retired Washi Label Punch. I tied the tags on with some ribbon from my stash.

Project Details:

Stamps: Basket Bunch

Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, Whisper White

Accessories: Basket Weave EF, Basket Bunch Framelits, Corner Notch Punch (retired), Washi Label Punch (retired), Cello Bags, Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think these treats would be great for anyone, especially if they love chocolate!

And that bunny is guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone's faces this Easter....atleast I think so!
