2021 Releases, Dull Glossy Paper, flowers, Frogs & Bugs, Get Well Soon

Good Morning . We love these stamp sets that have 3 different words to change up your saying- BE, BEE, or an actual bee! You will notice that we have started putting unindexed stamps on the web site. That means you have 3 choices for ordering – Cling Mount with indexing, Cling Mount without indexing, and Wood Mount. It will take us a while to get the stamps updated on the website, so please be patient. If you want to order without indexing and it hasn’t been changed on the website / let us know and we can update it for you.

November 10, 2021 – Celebrating You!

Today’s card always puts a smile on my face! It is so cheerful. Could be birthday card or a new job – really just to celebrate a fabulous friend.

Stamps Used:

F316 Fabulous You!

BB69 Solid & Open Flower

I did use a stencil for the background. I did get the leaf from a really old stamp that was one of our first stamps. That probably is what makes me smile too! Have a great Wednesday.

Kind Words – November 8, 2021

flowers, Friendship, With Sympathy

Happy November! I thought I had better get back in the swing of things! We’ve been pretty occupied around our house. I don’t know where the time goes. My friend Heidi made some cards a while back and so I thought I would post them. She does amazing work. I hope you enjoy I got to stamp most of the day yesterday and it was so much fun. Sometimes you forget how relaxing it can be.

2021 Releases, Birthday, Dull Glossy Paper, flowers

Good Evening! I know that it has been awhile since you heard from us! We ran into the great pestilence called Covid. WE are on the mend and doing well. I do love Birthday cards that are simple. As you know, I do things in bunches. I stamped 10-15 floral bouquets and then spent an afternoon coloring them. Such fun! Now they are finding their way into cards. Pictures do not truly show how lovely this card is. I hope you are all well and having fun Stamping.

Sept 7, 2021 – Always Bee-lated

2021 Releases, Birthday, Dull Glossy Paper, flowers

So yes…my cards are usually late…I’m a bee-lated kind of girl but at least I finally get there. I needed a birthday card for a friend. I had several of these bouquets already colored and just needed to be put together. The mosquitoes have been so bad outside that even though it has been sunny outside I’ve been chased inside! I don’t complain too much – love to stamp even after all these years.

Stamps Used:

Sept 1, 2021- Life Plants

Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, Dull Glossy Paper, flowers, Friendship

September is here! Amazing. The months and years seem to fly by. September brings knee replacement surgery to me. Little nervous but my knees were what took us off the road but of course then along came covid and changed everybody’s world.

Today’s card was made for a young friend who is moving to Michigan that I am going to miss! You might notice that I cut the flower out several times and stacked them instead of using 3-D-Dots. Love that trick.

Enjoy your first day of September! Fall is coming.

Hello – Aug. 27, 2021

Hello

Happy Friday! My apologies to those who couldn’t see the photo yesterday! I’m not sure what happened. Technical glitch or something. Hopefully it is fixed on the website now and I’ve included it in this post again so you can see in the email.

For this card, same scalloped circle paper as yesterday and I colored the aloe with alcohol ink markers. The lines were created with a marker too but could easily be created with the HH10 Skinny Geometric stamp. Just couldn’t find it when making this card. Working on organization! To create the dots – used a Ranger Glitz Stickle. I might need to add a ribbon yet, like the coffee card.

Coffee, Dull Glossy Paper, Get Well Soon

Good morning! Here is a coffee card on a scallop circle card stock. This one is fairly quick, the only part that takes a little more time is cutting out the coffee cup sleeves. But even that doesn’t take much time as the edges are not complicated! Links to stamps are below!

Also, I’ll be sharing some home projects soon! I’ve been doing some organizing inside and then we have an outdoor project that is coming along too.

Dull Glossy Paper, Thinking of You, With Sympathy

Happy Wednesday!

Keeping it simple with this card. First, cut out three scalloped ovals of white dull gloss paper and stamp the flowers. Very important to set the ovals aside to dry before coloring. Then stamp the words on the lower portion of a 4×5.25” piece of white dull gloss. Again, important to let ink dry before coloring and assembling! The middle scallop oval is popped up with a 3D dot. Links are below!
