Stampin' Up! Christmas Card

Hello my stamping friends. Is it cold where you are? It's plenty cold here so let's bring on the winter trees and snow, shall we?

I made this card who knows when and just found it in my stash with two other Christmas cards. All it needed was a sentiment, which is from the retired Christmas Labels Stamp Set. The DSP is from the retired Boughs of Holly package. It's a gift card holder inside...

The sentiment is also from the Christmas Labels set and cut with a matching die. The DSP is the back of the same package mentioned above.

The ink I used is Mossy Meadow as is the cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you'll come back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge. Have a blessed day. 
 

Stampin' UP! Floral Delight Birthday Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends. Today's card is a CASE of the card I made here. It's a wee bit different but the measurements and "how to" are the same. I didn't take a photo with the belly band but it was created with the smaller design side of the DSP.

The sentiments are from the retired Birthday Celebration Stamp Set and are stamped with Pool Party Ink. The daisy was punched with the retired Medium Daisy Punch. The heart and sprig were items I found in my stash...no idea from where they came!

 

The inside does not have the middle arch like the first one did. The enamel butterfly is on the inside rather than on the belly band.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Stampin' UP! Guy Greetings Father's Day Card

Welcome to February...where did January go???? In any event, today I have another masculine card for you. Take a look see...

I was inspired by Erin Reed during Justine Hovey's Stash Summit over the past few days.  I adhered the Nature Walk DSP 1 1/4" squares (8) to a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") and also adhered 2 pieces 1 1/4" x 2 1/2". Then I adhered that to the front of a Basic Beige card base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"). 

My tag is from the retired Taylor Made Tags die set. The sentiment is from the retired A Good Man stamp set and I used Secret Sea Ink and Very Vanilla card stock. I adhered the tag with Dimensionals.

For embellishments, I used 3 Faux Bronze Hexagons and a double loop bow of Linen Thread.  

For the inside...

All the sentiments are from the retired Guy Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Secret Sea ink.

I'm entering my card in The Male Room Challenge #206 Add a Tag.    Thank you for stopping by.                             

Stampin' UP! Happy Place Masculine Retirement Card

Good morning stamping friends. Today's card was inspired by Jackie Bolhuis and should help you feel a little warmer...think ocean and palm trees. So far I have 4" of snow and it is still falling. So, let me take you to the beach...

My card base is Azure Afternoon with a mat of Basic Black, a mat of Balmy Blue embossed with the retired Subtle 3D EF and a piece of Basic White for the sentiment and image from the Happy Place Stamp Set. The black heart may have been punched with the retired Dog Builder Punch. I found it on the floor after converting my retired stamp sets to the new packaging. I have freed up so much space, it's incredible! Here's a small sample...

 

and for the inside I used the retired Many Mates Stamp Set...

Measurements:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Basic Black Mat: 5" x 3 3/4"

Balmy Blue Embossed Mat: 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" 

Basic Black Mat: 4 1/4" x 2 1/4" 

Basic White: 4 1/8" x 2 1/8" sentiment/image; 5 1/4" x 4" inner liner

I am really enjoying using my retired stamps along with the new. Thank you for stopping by today.

                                           
 

Stampin' Up! Geared Up Garage Birthday Card

TGIF peeps! Hope you have a fun weekend ahead of  you. I am in for more freezing weather I do believe so it will be a card making weekend. To get started, I created a CASE of my card from yesterday. (Measurements are in that post.) Let's take a look see... Again, I'm entering my card at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and using sketch #318.

Thank you for stopping by today and stay warm and dry! I know Florida is predicting 30 degree weather so I can only imagine what it's going to be for TN! I'm sure there's snow in my forecast.

Stampin' Up! Nature Walk Father's Day Card

Good morning my stamping friends. So far this week I have had a water main break and frozen pipes. Oh, why oh why did I leave Florida? That's really rhetorical but I'll answer it anyway...because those two things are better than hurricanes! It didn't stop me from stamping, only from taking a shower and you can't see my hair from where you are...lol! However, you can see my card right here...

I'm entering my card in the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge and I'm using Sketch #318.

 

Here's a look at at the inside...

Basic Beige: Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"; scraps for sentiments/image
