Thinking of You

 Hello, stampers. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We visiting our son who is a freshman at college and I am thankful for the beautiful day we had and the fact that he is finally able to be at college. It was so nice to spend some time with him.  

For today's post,  I am sharing a card I made for one of our elderly neighbors who recently had a stroke.  Thankfully, he is doing well now and recently came home.  

To make my card more realistic, I should have stamped leaves all over the ground to match the way it really looks like outside but we can pretend it looks like this instead. lol

I can't seem to get enough of the In Good Taste DSP, it is so trendy right now and a win win since it is one of the DSP's on sale right now at 15% off!

I stamped the ground in Mint Macaron, and added Early Espresso trees with Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron leaves.
In looking for the perfect sentiment, I settled on a stamp set from a past Paper Pumpkin kit. 

I will have to say that the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim has to be one of my top favorites to use for masculine cards.

I should not point this out, but did you notice that I stamped one of the ground images in Pear Pizzazz ink instead of Mint Macaron ink? Oops!  A total mistake- but that's what happens when you have too many ink pads open and scattered around you when stamping. :)

I love Fall, but I do not love all the leaves we have to deal with. Can you relate?

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

 Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer.  The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea  cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
