Valentine’s Day Week

Dull Glossy Paper, pattern paper, Valentine's Day

Just a couple of cute Valentine cards but not very good pictures 🤷‍♀️ !!

I think Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday ❤️ I also love pattern paper. I typically cut all my pattern paper down for easier storage but it does limit you when your pattern paper has a definite pattern to it like these hearts. I will usually cut some of them horizontal and then some of the vertical.

I actually sometimes just cut paper when I’m looking to relax! Have a great week.

It’s almost the weekend and we continue to have pretty cold weather-perfect to stay inside and stamp! Of course I could be cleaning the house too but what fun is that? Instead I clean my Stamping desk!

This cute card is so fun and it’s also a card kit!! Frog Card Kit

Enjoy and stay warm!!

Extreme Cold

It’s just getting colder so I look at that as more time to stamp! I have some more polka cards that I’m loving

Again I left the words off because I don’t know what kind of card it will end up being! I did layer the butterfly for depth.

WI Cold Advisory

Hello! It’s been a long time since you have heard from us. WI is pretty cold right now so I had a chance to do some stamping today. Sometimes I forget how much I love to stamp!

I didn’t put any words on it because I’m never sure what kind of card it will be or who the card is going to. I love polka dots though! Hope you all are well and keeping warm.

And not cut out! It really doesn’t take too long to cut out but I find cutting out relaxing.:

Boy, Christmas is coming fast! Don’t forget we do have a trip planned for Dec 13-18 where we won’t be shipping orders.

A Bit of Stamping!

So I’ve had a little bit of stamping time…since I always need Belated Birthday cards I started with that!

Next I moved to a birthday card… this started when we cleaned up some of our stuff from days on the road. We had some card kits from our alcohol ink project and I love these colors.

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.

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!
