Heart Doily Card

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Just a quick card to share today that I whipped up for Valentines Day!

I was inspired by a card that was made by Carol Longacre as she used a pretty foil heart doily!

I knew I had a bunch of those paper doilies so I went in search of them and found these pink colored ones. 

I also found some pieces from an old Paper Pumpkin Kit that I used. 

I like when everything matches!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sending Love (sentiment)

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, DSP from PP Kit

Accessories: Lots to Love Frameluts (gold heart), Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Paper Heart Doily, Twine from PP Kit, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It felt good using up some of those Paper Doilies!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Hope you all had a sweet day!

My Buppie made us a really yummy supper this evening. 

We are all feeling like bloated toads now!

I am just now getting around to updating after a busy day. 

I baked an Angel Food cake for my one & only.

He loves it with Strawberry Icing on it. I am not wild on it so I only put icing on half of it.

It made him happy!

Today I am sharing the card I made my Buppie for Valentines Day.

All I can say is....he really is my Valentine every single day!!

I know it's not very masculine but that does not bother him.

He loved it!

Thoughtful Branches

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I wanted to share with you a set of cards made for my customer who asked for Happy Birthday cards with a bird. Now, that sorta threw me since I am not much of a bird person and my stamp collection of birds matches that! I went thru every single set I own and found this one, Thoughtful Branches, which was a Stampin Up special a year or 2 ago. It was only available for a few months then went away, sadly. It's a beautiful set with matching dies. Anyways, to make a long story short..I used the birds that were in this set and got my cards made!

This card is a semi case of one I had in my favorites but I did change up a few things to kinda make it my own. I really love the pop of red from the birds in the tree! I know my customer will love these too!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Thoughtful Branches, Special Celebrations

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Real Red, Whisper White

Accessories: Falling Snow EF, Beautiful Branches Thinlits, Red Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I felt this set was perfect for February with the snowy scene and bright red birds!

Hope you like!

Valentine Nugget Packs

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend.

It rained here all weekend so yesterday we went out and did some errands and hit up a couple antique shops. Picked up a small Holland ceramic Christmas tree and found my friend, Vicki, a Large Pyrex bowl that she was on the hunt for. Got great deals on both since most places are having 20% off sales! She was tickled pink when I told her what I got her! Shawn also went and picked up his new glasses which he desperately needed. Oh the joys of growing old....

So today I have a Valentine treat to share that I made with Hershey's Nuggets.

My lady friends go nuts over these so I try to make them for all holidays.

Most people love chocolate so this is a fun way to present a sweet treat especially on Valentine's Day!

Heartfelt Blooms

Hello & Happy Monday!

The Philadelphia Eagles are the new champions!

They are not my football team but we were rooting them on since they are a hometown team and never won a Super Bowl before. It was a great game last night and I know I was on the edge of my seat watching the last 10 mins of it! Congrats to them! I'm sure they will be partying it up in Philly for the next few days!! 

Anyways, today I have a card set to share that again was made for my customer.

This time she asked for Thank You cards and i'm always happy to make them for her!

I wasn't really sure I wanted this set from the SaleABration 2018 catalog but after seeing SO many beautiful cards done with it I finally caved. I was mostly drawn to the style of font used on the sentiments. Very classy and I like that!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Heartfelt Blooms SAB 18

Ink: Berry Burst

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Berry Burst, Whisper White, Color Theory DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Silver Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A little bit of diecutting and stamping and these came together very quickly!

They are also flat for easy mailing!

I made a bunch of food earlier today since the weather wasn't fit to be out in. We had snow this morning for a few hours then it changed over to sleet/freezing rain and now it is all rain....heavy at that! It's one sloppy mess to sum it up! As for Super Bowl Sunday...I am dressed in my Baltimore Ravens gear and ready to watch!

I have a card set to share real quick then off to watch some football!

Just a quick update on my hubby...

Yesterday he finally had his root canal done after suffering for a week with pain. The pain was so bad he cried and trying to get someone to do the root canal was literally like pulling teeth! His own dentist does not do them and sends you to a specialist. The specialist put it off until this coming Monday!! He was is so much pain but it seems like no one cared. He found a dentist in Maryland about a mile from work that took him right away and did the root canal. He came home smiling but you could see in his eyes he was drained from lack of sleep. He thanked the dentist a million times before leaving her office yesterday because someone finally listened to how much pain he was in. He came home yesterday afternoon, filled his belly with hot soup, took a shower and slept until 8am this morning! Yes, he was that exhausted but feels 100% better and for that i'm thankful he's no longer hurting!!
