Love and Care

Good morning everyone! It is a good morning. My daughter is home safe and looking forward to getting done what has to be done and returning to California as soon as possible.

Sure wish the humidity would drop. I feel like I am in Michigan also except there are no flying bugs. It has sure been a warm week but after all it is summer, right? I think I will spend some time down at the bay this month just to be cooler. It will be nice walking along the bay on Shelter Island and having lunch at the Red Sail In.

Must finish this post and get busy designing the cards for July's card class which is this Saturday at 1 pm at my home. If you live in the area we would love to have you join us. Just please email me by tomorrow am and let me know so I can cut cardstock for you. We will be celebrating a birthday this month and I'm sure we will have a blast!!

For this card I used Certainly Celery, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White cardstock. The stamp sets are both hostess sets from the Summer Mini, Love and Care and Swirls and Curls Verses. I love both these sets. I used the Big Shot and the Scallop Squares Duo Die and the Finial Press Embossing Folder. The ribbon is 1 1/4" Certainly Celery Stripe. Of course the image layer is put on with Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used a piece of the Whisper White Bakers Twine and colored it Rich Razzleberry by running it across the ink pad and holding down with a Dauber and then tied it around the other ribbon. I love the look.

Hope you like this as much as I do and will make one of your own.

Thanks for stoppin in and I'll see you soon.

BEST YET

This card was inspired by the Mojo Monday challenge. I don't understand why I haven't used more Bordering Blue cardstock. It is beautiful on a card especially with some embossing on it. I really love the way this card came out and hope you do to.

I used Naturals White for the main card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I then layered it with a piece of Certainly Celery 41/8 x 5 3/8. I cut my piece of Chocolate Chip 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 then scalloped the bottom with the Scallop Border Punch. The Dusty Durango is 3 1/2 x 5, and the Bordering Blue is 3 3/8 x 4 7/8 and run through the Big Shot with the Finial Press Embossing Folder(I love it and you will too). Next I cut another piece of Naturals White 2 3/4 x 2/3/4 and layered it with a piece of So Saffron 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, stamped with a sentiment from the stamp set Best Yet and run through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder ( I love this one too, so will you). I then cut 3 flowers with the Ex-large Flower Punch from Dusty Durango. I ran them through my crimper several times to break up the fibers so I could separate them into 6 flowers total. I then crunched them up in my hand, smoothed them back out, punched a hole in the center of each with my hole punch and mat set and put a brad in the center to hold them all together. It makes a beautiful flower as you can see ( I love these too). Guess I love a lot of things. I finished it off with 2 strips of Chocolate Chip 5/8 inch Satin Ribbon ( I love this too) WOW!

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed day!

Fancy Top Note

Happy May Day!
Here it is May 1st already. Seems like the year just started and here it is 1/4 gone already. Summer is on it's way. Have you recieved your new Summer Mini Catalog. If not let me know and I will get you one.
I have already fallen in love with so many items in it. Stampin Up just keeps getting better and my craft room just keeps getting fuller. Oh well, I just see more fun days of creating.

I got the idea from Laurie's Rubber Room for the following two cards. I did the bottom one first and then decided to add a flower to the second. Once you get a layout there is so much you can do with embellishments. Just adds pizazz and beauty to each one.

FRIENDSHIP CARD




Card Recipe:

Stamp Set: Best Yet

Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink, Naturals White, Perfect Plum DSP

Ink: Perfect Plum, Basic Gray and Pretty in Pink

Accessories: Big Shot (you really need this), Top Note Die, Finial Press Embossing Folder,Large Fancy Flower Punch, 1 1/4 inch Circle Punch, Perfect Plum 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon, Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals, and Mini Glue Dots, Soft Subtle brad in center of flower.


I now decorate the inside of my cards as well. It just seems to add a special touch for charm. Here is the inside of it. I love the vines from the Vintage Vogue set, they are so dainty and vintage looking.






JUST BECAUSE CARD

I decided to make a card that I could use for any occassion that might spring up on me. Seems like that always happens and I'm never prepared. I just love the Top Note Die and have done so many different things with it. I've made a small picture album, put some on my scrapbook pages and all kinds of things. It is just so neat looking and versatile.



Card Recipe:

Stamp Set: Best Yet, Vintage Vogue

Cardstock: Blush Blossom (soon to be retired), Au Chocolat' DSP, Certainly Celery

Ink: Green Galore(soon to retired), Rose Red

Accessories: Big Shot with Top Note Die, Certainly Celery 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon. 1 1/4 inch Circle Punch

Inside I left blank so any message could be written in for whatever occassion it is needed for. Just a nice clean card for special people.

I really enjoy card making and scrapbooking. I am making a 60 year scrapbook to give to my family. Starts with the year I married my wonderful husband, Eugene, and continues through 56 years of marriage at this point. Only 4 to go to finish the album. I will be sharing some of the pages here without pictures to give some samples of what can be done in scrapbooking.

Well, enough for today. See you tomorrow.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!
