HELLO card with stamps and dies

HEY BLOGGIES,

More rain again today.  Booooo...    I am wishing for clear blue skies, light breezes and dry, firm ground in the pastures.

In the meantime, I made some cards this weekend that I would like to share with you.

I used the card bases from My Paper Pumpkin.  I then used TIMELESS TEXTURES stamps to add more color to my card base with marina mist and crushed curry.  I also used my triple corner punch for the lovely little addition in the bottom two corners.

I punched out of marina mist a tag with my Tag punch and inked the edges before adhering a Simon Says Stamp HELLO die.  I added some cute yellow ribbon and adhered the tag onto the card with Stampin Dimensionals.

I think this is a clean and simple card and I am thrilled with the results of my design. I will share another one tomorrow with similar ideas.  Come on back to visit.

Hope you enjoyed this card.  If you have any questions, let me know.

THROW BACK THURSDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I was going through a box of  "stuff" from my move and came across some cards I made that I loved so much I didn't want to give them away. I thought I would share with you in case you did not see them when I posted them a few years back.

 In the new Holiday Catalog there is a wonderful stamp set called Acorny Thank you.  And there is a matching Acorn Builder Punch.  There is also a wonderful leaf stamp set called Lighthearted Leaves.  I chose this card I did a couple years ago because it is very similar to those two sets I am talking about that YOU can purchase starting September 1st from our Holiday Catalog.

 Most fall cards do NOT have blue on them, but I love how clear and blue the sky can be on a crisp fall day, don't you??   I created the wood grain tag from some specialty designer paper and some early espresso ink rubbed over it.  You can find a nice woodgrain paper in our Holiday Catalog called Into the Woods designer paper.

I used the chalk marker to put the highlighting on the acorns.  And my leaves were cut from plain cardstock and then put through the embossing folder Woodgrain to create the marks on them.

Hope you enjoyed my Throw Back Thursday Card.  Use this idea for a card to create when you get YOUR NEW PRODUCT from the Holiday Catalog.

Mark your calendar for SEPTEMBER 1 as the first day you can order from the new catalog.

If you need a catalog, please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by.

ANOTHER PAGE IN MY CREATED SCRAPBOOK

SO, REMEMBER MY SCRAPBOOK I CREATED HERE:

IT IS A FLIP AND FOLD ALBUM THAT I CREATED WITH BOTH CARD STOCK AND DESIGNER PAPER FROM STAMPIN UP.  I USED RIBBON AS THE CLOSURE AND MADE THAT CUTE FLOWER ON THE FRONT.  IT SAYS "GO IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS".  LOVE THAT QUOTE

IT IS A MY GRANDCHILDREN'S SCRAPBOOK WHERE I HAVE A 2 PAGE LAYOUT FOR EACH ONE OF MY 5 GRANDCHILDREN.  HERE IS THE PAGE FOR PENELOPE, OUR YOUNGEST GRANDCHILD:

HER BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT IS ON THE RIGHT.  SO CUTE.

AND HERE IS OUR OLDEST GRAND DAUGHTER, MIRANDA.  THESE ARE HER GRADUATION PHOTOS.  SHE IS GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS NEXT WEEKEND.  WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER AND ALL HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THE BLANK ON THE RIGHT PAGE IS TO PUT HER GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT, ONCE I FIND WHERE MY HUBBY PUT IT.  HE THINKS HE MIGHT HAVE THROWN IT AWAY!!  WHAT??!!  I HOPE NOT.  :<(

THIS UPCLOSE OF THE LEFT PAGE IS TO SHOW YOU RANS WITH HER SAXAPHONE WHICH SHE PLAYED IN THE MARCHING BAND.  ALSO THE TAG SAYS "GOOD NEWS" BECAUSE IT IS GREAT NEWS THAT SHE IS GRADUATING.  BUT SAD NEWS THAT SHE WILL BE LEAVING FOR COLLEGE IN THE FALL. 

LUCKILY SHE IS STAYING IN TEXAS SO WE WILL STILL GET TO SEE HER OCCASIONALLY.  YIPPEE

MORE PAGES IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  WAITING ON A FEW RECENT PHOTOS TO ARRIVE SO I CAN COMPLETE IT.

HAPPY HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED TO KEEP US SAFE.  WE LOVE YOU. 

INKY FINGERS Y'ALL!

WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME WITH OUR CARD GROUP.  WHAT WE DO IS EACH CREATE A CARD AND CUT OUT ALL THE SUPPLIES, ETC. FOR EVERYONE IN THE GROUP.  THEN WE EACH MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENT CARDS OF THE GROUP THAT NIGHT.  IT IS SO FUN.

FIRST WE HAVE JACKIE'S CARD:

IT CAN BE EITHER A WEDDING OR ANNIVERSARY CARD; IT IS MADE WITH THE BIRD PUNCH.  SHE USED THE POLKA DOT EMBOSSING FOLDER FOR THE BACKGROUND.

HERE IS KILEY'S CARD:

KILEY USED THE EMBOSSING FOLDER FIFTH AVE FLORAL ON VELLUM, THEN WE USED THE WHITE PEN TO ACCENT PARTS OF IT FOR HIGHLIGHTS.  VERY ELEGANT.

THIS CARD USES THE "FOR YOU" SINGLE STAMP YOU CAN GET FREE NOW FROM SALE-A-BRATION.  AND THE PUNCH THAT MATCHES IT.  AS WELL THE THE LITTLE LEAVES SIZZLET DIE AND SOME YUMMY FREE RIBBON AND DSP FROM SALE-A-BRATION.



THIS LAST CARD IS FOR ST PADDY'S DAY.  IT IS MADE WITH THE LARGE HEART PUNCH.  I PUT AN AWESOME FABRIC BRAD IN THE MIDDLE FROM THE OCCASIONS MINI.

I USED THE OLIVE STRIPED RIBBON FROM THE CLEARANCE RACK.  LOVE IT.  AND AN EXPIRED STAMP GOOD LUCK WITH THE 2 DIFFERENT SIZE TAG PUNCHES TO TIE ON THE RIBBON WITH LINEN THREAD.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE OTHER CARD WE MADE.  I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR THAT PHOTO AND POST LATER.

HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL SUNDAY.
