Just a Note

 Happy Saturday! Hope y'all have a fun weekend ahead. Here's today's card:

As promised this is the first card I made using the CASE-ing Tuesday #525 sketch. You can see the second card I made using this sketch here.

I used the Floral Delight DSP, the Everyday Arches dies, the Weekend Adventures stamp set for my florals and the sentiment came from Beautiful Motifs.  

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!

Hello

 Today's card...

I'm squeaking it in for this week's Paper Players #750 color challenge. 

I used a piece of the Painterly Pears DSP on my Mossy Meadow card base. My squares are Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the pear from Perfectly Pears in Cherry Cobbler and the leaf in Old Olive. I added some green twine to my sentiment label.

This was my second attempt at the CASE-ing Tuesday sketch. I'll share my first attempt tomorrow. 😉

Happy Stamping!

To Someone Special

 Today's card makes me happy with its bright primary colors and the sweet fur baby at the center!

I'm using the sketch from the Inky Paws Challenge #243 at Newton's Nook Designs.

I used NND Birthday Party paper on my red card base. I used the Smitten Kittens stamp set and dies and the sentiment is from Birthday Oval. It all came together rather quickly and I'll be making two more with the rest of the paper! Yea! Three birthday cards ready to go! 

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!

Ahoy!

 Long time no blogging...life happens! It's all good though just busy with camping, grandkids, a baby shower and a son's birthday! 

Here's a card I made last night.

I used the Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge #642.

I flipped it but kept the sentiment on the bottom because, you know, crafty girls do what they want. 😉

My card base is Secret Sea with a Cloud Cover mat. My three pieces are from Everyday Skies DSP.  The sailboat is Berry Burst. I used the Sunrise Sailing bundle. The little embellishments are the Hues of Blue Flowers but I thought they made nice stars!

I used the Sunrise Sailing bundle and made quite a few table favors for my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower. The theme was "Ahoy! It's a BOY!" Here's one of the favors. I filled them with salt water taffy.

But the big hit of the party was the "shark" my husband carved out of a watermelon! 😅

And here's my lovely family I am blessed to have. (Hubby wasn't there when this photo was taken).

Happy Stamping, Friends!

Thinking of You

 I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Here is today's card:

I used a Basic Beige card base and added another layer of Basic Beige that I embossed with the Damask Designs EF. I adhered a stitched oval to a scallop oval that I cut from the Beautiful Gallery DSP and then added my floral image with dimensionals. I cannot remember where this flower came from. It's a SU! bundle. I do believe that set is in the "to sell" box which is now at my mom's awaiting the yard sale. And yes, the next time I am there which will be today or tomorrow,  I am going to rescue the stamp set and bring it safely back home!  Not kidding! LOL! Why do I think I can sell my stamps sets??!!

My sentiment is from Tractor & Co stamped in Secret Sea. I inked the edges in Basic Beige. Seriously, Basic Beige is my new green. It's green! Has anyone noticed that the Basic Beige ink is green?? I added a few of the Pressed Flower Motifs to complete my card. 

I'm playing along with the  Freshly Made Sketches #695 Challenge 

Happy Stamping!

Make a Wish

Happy Fri-yay! Today's card I made for the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge #380 where the challenge is to CASE the designer, team member, Christy! Here's my card:

I discovered Christy and I have birthdays in January. So, I went to her January 2025 blog posts and was inspired by this post and this card:

For my card I chose Timid Tiger cardstock for my card base. I used the Arched Wishes stamp set. Christy used Everyday Arches for her sentiment. I used the confetti stamp to make a base for my cupcake and a little flame for the candle. I colored the cupcake with Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly and Timid Tiger Blends. Christy embossed her image and watercolored it and I just did not have time to do those extras!

I really enjoy Christy's blog. It provides lots of inspiration.

Happy Stamping!

Thinking of You

 Note to self: Do not buy anymore scene builder stamp sets or dies. Seriously, who do I think I am?! I really don't know the first thing about making a scene. I used the  SU! Scenic Adventure Bundle on today's card, well, just the dies.

I used the Rays of Light background stamp also. I'm playing along with The Paper Player's color challenge this week:

I do like SU!'s Two Tone cardstock which I used for the mountains and the trees. It was on sale last week and a few of my crafty friends and I did a paper share. That was a great way to get each of the colors.

I'll play around with this bundle some more and see if gets a bit easier. I really want to use it on some scrapbook pages! 

Happy Stamping!
