Gingham Cupcake

By on March 25, 2019

March 25th, 2019

I’m currently  away from my computer, and will be off and on over the next couple weeks. I will try to check in a few times, and respond to your comments!

  Purple (Highland Heather) Gingham and Cupcakes…these are a few of my favorite things… store bought buttercream (I don’t think they use real butter), frosted cake/cupcakes are my MOST favorite dessert ever!! We used to call it PMS cake around here because that’s when I would have the strongest cravings for it!

 Admittedly, most things that contain sugar are on my favorites list…even the “there’s not anything sweet here in my kitchen or pantry that sounds very good for this particular craving right now, but this sweet will do in a pinch”

Hello Cupcake, is probably my favorite of all the FREE SAB sets, Painted Seasons is a close second. I had so much fun making this card, the thinlits made this stamp set even more fun to play with!!

I used the “Well-Said Cling Bundle” for the sentiments on the front of the card. I used the “More Than Words” stamp set from SAB-Coordination for the inside sentiment.

Christmas in March??

By on March 22, 2019

March 22nd, 2019

   Yep, I’m doin’ Christmas for today’s blog! I got a little burned out on Christmas cards for awhile, but this 4 season set inspired me again! This is actually two sets, the Painted Seasons Bundle, (FREE with a $100 purchase) and the More Than Words stamp set.

WM Blog 1

If you guessed this is another Distinktive Stamp Set, you would be right! Most of the pine needles are covered on this card, so you can’t see the color variations very well on those…but… check out all the varying depths of color on those gorgeous pine cones!! I inked and stamped them one time, that’s it!

WM_BLOG_3_9115

The Painted Seasons stamp set with it’s beautiful “Distinktive” style stamping is only going to be available through March 31st….only 2 days left after today…don’t let time run out if this is a must have set, it won’t be back.

Thank you for visiting my Blog, feel free to comment or ask me a question, I’d love to hear from you!

Distinktive Painted Seasons

By on March 18, 2019

March 18th, 2019,

     Have you heard of SU!’s Distinktive Stamps? Stamping one time with these special stamps gives different depths of color with a beautiful  monochromatic look. Each image on this card was inked and stamped only once. (Except I stamped off once with the paler flower)  This Painted Seasons Stamp Set is exclusive and will go away after March 31st.

WM bday 2

The Designer Series Paper you see, is one of 6 beautiful designs. Both the Painted Seasons stamp set and the gorgeous DSP is FREE Bundle with a $100 purchase…until March 31st.

WM Bday wishes

This was a simple card and I’m really pleased with how it came out. The bigger flower is stamped in Petal Pink on Petal Pink Card Stock. The Sentiment is Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist. The DSP rectangle is the third largest Stitched Rectangle, and the Whisper White Rectangle  is the largest die from the 4 piece rectangles group of this Die Cut set.

I don’t know if you heard or not…the Hop Around thinlit dies…are sold out!  First week of  4 weeks it was supposed to be available.  Yikes! That was quick! Now the Call Me Cupcake Thinlits and the Lily Framelits are completely sold out!

Why am I showing you a card that I used the sold out dies on, if you can’t even purchase the thinlit dies anymore?

One, because I already had this blog planned for today.

Two, because the Hoppy Together, Hello Cupcake and Lasting Lily stamp sets are still available.

And three, to give some…advice…if you see something in any of the catalogs that you simply must have…get it right away!!

If you like to see products I used to make this card, just click HERE or on the “Click HERE to SHOP Square” to the right…

Thank you so much for visiting my Blog, I hope you liked my card!

Life Is Grand for Hoppy Frogs!

By on March 11, 2019

March 8th, 2019

   This sentiment-only stamp set, “Life Is Grand” is a great set to have.  I love the size, the font and the versatility of the sentiments.

   Don’t these cute little frogs look so friendly and happy?  I used the adorable lily pad and flower from the “Hoppy Together” coordinating thinlit die cut set.  I think they’re just so dang cute!

WM __CB Collage

     I hope that if you wanted these coordinating thinlit dies that you were able to get them before they sold out.  It’s crazy how quickly they were gone! I’ve learned, if there is a stamp set or embossing folder or die cut that I really, really want…I get it early!  If you don’t, you just might not ever get it.

    From the moment Stampin’ Up! realizes an unexpected favorite is going to sell out, it generally takes 90 days from placing their order to receiving those products for distribution.  By then, it’s often too late because they’re moving on to the next catalogs products.

Some general how to info:

This is a standard card size of 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, Call Me Clover card stock. The 2″ x 5 1/2″ strip of DSP is from Animal Expedition. The stitched circle is the second smallest. I used Stampin’ Dimensional’s to pop up the lily pad and frog.

 Thank you for stopping by my blog!

I hope you like my card, if you did, please leave me a comment below the product links!

Home To Roost

By on March 8, 2019

March 8th, 2019,

  I’ve never been much of a Rooster fan, I don’t know why…I guess I don’t think they’re…”cute”, but after seeing a bunch of cards with this guy…turns out roosters are kinda cute.H2RWM

You can color Mr Rooster ANY color you like. Go ahead…google “rooster images” and you’ll see what I mean. I had no idea they were so colorful! (Obviously not a farm girl here!) Having said that, I didn’t get real colorful with these roosters, but I think the next rooster I color is going to have to have some Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and maybe some Blueberry Bushel feathers to adorn him.

The “how to” with this card is pretty straight forward. The Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight cards are…

Standard size Basic Black card base, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″; Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper cut to: 5 1/4″ x 3″; Whisper White banner, 3 7/8″ x 2″ before punching with Banner Triple Punch; Tailored Tag Punch for sentiment
