Bee Happy Paper

Dull Glossy Paper, flowers, pattern paper

It all started with…

Echo Paper Bee Happy

So I could probably make cards for the next 10 years without buying any paper but when I saw this it, well, I had to buy it!

I spent the last few days making cards. Because I am not sure what kind of cards I want I didn’t add any words. I will add words before sending them out.

I had a ton of fun making all these cards. I also cut all the paper 4×5.25 and keep the left over pieces all together.

Stamps Used: G308 Trio Sunflowers; CC98 Sunflower w bee sm; EE85 Sunflower w Bee Med

With sympathy – July 25

Dull Glossy Paper, With Sympathy

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. We have another sympathy card but really need more birthday cards. We have 4+ birthdays in our family this month. Hopefully I’ll have time for stamping this weekend! Or I’ll need to dig through my stash!

Stamp links are below.

Hello. We’ve been working hard around the house on projects but I have also needed sympathy cards. I did a little stamping to stock up my stash. Some layouts are old stand byes that I use.

We finally got some hot weather in WI! It’s been in the 90’s. We are having trouble getting our pool chemicals right since we didn’t get the pool opened last year. I’ve been anxious to do some exercising in the pool. So we bought a bunch more chemicals hoping to get it right! We are having thunderstorms tonight so I think I might do some stamping. Hope your weekend is going good.

Good Evening! We are sad to be heading back to work tomorrow 😢 less time for stamping.

Tonight’s card is the same as yesterday’s layout with a color change and word change ( needed another sympathy card!) The colors are beautiful and the picture doesn’t do it justice!

Have a good week!

Thinking of you – July 5, 2024

Dull Glossy Paper, Thinking of You

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! Also, in the holiday excitement and the projects we had started, I forgot the links in my previous post so I have included them at the bottom on this post.

A lot of flower cards coming! The garden is full of blooms and is so inspiring. The dahlias that we have in the front of the house are just gorgeous! They are annuals in our area but because they are in pots, we overwinter them in the heated garage and in the spring pull them out again. They’ve done great and I love the pink and yellow colors! So happy we get to see them year after year. 😊

Happy Fourth of July

Birthday, Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, flowers

It’s vacation around here so I’ve been able to do a little stamping. I needed a birthday card but I was, like always, late! I think I use the bee-lated birthday stamp the most of all my stamps.

I was a little annoyed by some fuzz that got on my “L” the of the stamp and made a funny mark. Buts it’s hand stamped right??!? Doesn’t need to be perfect. I could put an insert in and re-stamp it. I still might do that!

I also needed to increase my with sympathy card stash since my parents generation has been leaving this earth. Hopefully I will find the time to blog them.

I am purging things and cleaning out drawers and cupboards while on vacation. It’s a much needed project and very satisfying.

Hope this holiday finds you all well and with a little stamping time!
