Stampin' Up! Baby Boy Card

Good morning, stamping friends. My card today is for my step-grandson's first boy and Sami has a sister who is 2. My granddaughter had a boy last year. Thus I have become a great-grandmother 3 times but I doubt I'll make it to being a great-great grandmother. and I do love creating baby cards so keep them coming kids...lol! There is an ex-family member who is a great-great-grandmother. Most of the parents had their babies between 16 and 18 so it's possible. Rahab was David's great-great-grandmother in the Bible :-) Back to my card...

My card base is Hydrangea Hue and the DSP mat is from the Silly Old Bear package, as is the die cut Pooh bear. It's cut with a die from Sweet Old Friends.

For the letters, I used letters in my stash that were cut out with the Mini Alphabet Dies months ago so I have no idea what the DSP is. The frames were made with the Stylish Shapes Dies. The card stock I used is Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz (retired), Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Cloud Cover and Bashful Blue (retired).

For the inside, I used the Cutest Onesie Stamp Set and Dies (retired) and All for Baby Stamp Set (retired). For the onesie, I used the Silly Old Bear DSP. The sentiments are stamped in Hydrangea Hue ink.

 Thank you for stopping by today.

 

  

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves for the Creative Creases Blog Hop

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge.  If you haven't played at the Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #120. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's mine.. 

 

This card is another that we made at our retreat. Judi brought the kit and I could make this fold 24/7! Let's take a closer look...

OOh, this Autumn Opulence DSP is soooo beautiful in real life. It's in my order today!

The card base is Petal Pink. That's a color I never cared for but I LOVE it now! Of course, the Cajun Craze mats and one leaf are one of my favorite colors. I hope it doesn't go away in the color refresh coming up in 2027. The other leaf is Early Espresso. That can go away if SU brings back Chocolate Chip!

For the embellishments, the card displays Gold Striped Ribbon and Gold Adhesive-backed Dots.  

Here's a view of the inside...

The Elegant Leaves bundle is to "die" for. That leaf is petal pink and the sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso.

If you would like measurements and "how to", just send me an email or leave your email in a comment.

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team.  Be sure to check us out at CCC#120 ... we hope to see your entry there!  
 

 

Stampin' Up! Star of Light Thow Back Thursday

Good morning, peeps! Can you believe it's the 1st of October?! Where have the first 3 quarters of the year gone? Bye Bye, that's for sure!! I don't send Halloween cards so that's not a problem for me but I do send Thanksgiving cards and I'll be working on those this month. Also, this month is time for showing our pastors appreciation for what they do for their flock. Today's card is one I made for our women's group at church to give to our pastor with a wonderfully delicious gift card. I have never been where he and his wife will be going but I've heard it's one of their faves. The card is a throw back to one I created October 2, 2017. Take a look see at what I created for today...

Our pastor loves plaid ties and I have no doubt that he has one this color. Here are the ingredients:

Blackberry Bliss Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

God Foil Mat - 5 1/4" x 4"

Plaid Tidings DSP (retired) - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

White Glimmer Paper - 2 7/8" x 3 3/8"

Gold Foil Frame - 3" x 3 1/2"

Star of Light Photopolymer Stamp Set and Starlight Thinlits (retired) - sentiment and star (Distressed Gold Specialty Paper)

Scrap of Basic White stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold powder cut out with a die from Perennial Postage Dies

Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls (retired embellishments) 

The inside sentiment is computer generated and I sponged it with Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Pine Sympathy Card

One of my teammates recently lost her father so I needed to create a sympathy card. I kept it very simple. Take a look-see...

My card base is Cajun Craze and the Crisp Cantaloupe mat is dry embossed with the Painted Texture EF (retired). I sponged a Basic White mat with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamped the foliage image in Peaceful Pine ink. It's from the retired Forever Fern Stamp Set.

I embossed a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock with VersaMark ink and gold embossing powder using the retired Something Fancy Stamp Set. I cut it out with a retired Ornate Frames die.

The embellishments are Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

 

 

 

Stampin' Up! Thanks & Giving Plaid Tidings Birthday Card

Good Tuesday morning, stamping friends. I'm going to be completely modest about my card today...I LOVE it! LOL!! Take a look-see...

One of my friends from church is having a birthday in October and I thought this was very fitting. Her favorite color is orange. Because of that, I decided to submit it to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #302. I went straight down the left hand side. Thank you, Betty, for this great challenge!

 

My card base is Paper Pumpkin. I adhered a mat of Very Vanilla and then a mat of  Plaid Tidings DSP (retired). I had cut an extra circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies at the retreat, stamped it with Amy's Thanks & Giving Stamp Set and colored it when I got home. I sponged it with Pumpkin Pie ink.

The pumpkins are die cut with the Painted Pumpkins dies and I used Mango Melody card stock (retired) and Early Espresso scrap.

The "Hello Pumpkin" is from the 2020 Hello Pumpkin Paper Pumpkin Kit. I stamped it in Pumpkin Pie ink, sponged it and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die.

I rarely use my Rhinestone Basic Jewels but I just thought they were very fitting for this card.

Let's take a look at the inside, shall we?
 

More rhinestones and plaid DSP! The pumpkin is from the aforementioned Paper Pumpkin Kit. The  "happy birthday" is from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set and the other sentiment is from the Fun for Fall Stamp Set.

I used Blends to color the pumpkin: Light & Dark Timid Tiger, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Stampin' Up! Painted Patch Thinking of You Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to my Monday Morning Makeover Madness card. I haven't done that in awhile...at least I don't think I have. In any event, this card is a CASE of my card from last week and a CASE of my upline and friend, Mary. This is another card I made at our team retreat. You know, when you have someone to prepare and cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days, it's easy to make more cards! I only took pics of one meal, shame on me! BUT, this casserole is one that is always being requested by the attendees.

 

I was a first timer and trust me, it tasted great!

Now that I've made you hungry, here's my card...

and the inside, which is no different from most of my others...

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of looking at pumpkins and this DSP! Come back tomorrow for a birthday card I made for a friend who loves orange. There might be pumpkins involved...lol. Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Glow of Harvest Rustic Thinking of You at Thanksgiving Card

No, I'm not going to tell you I made this at our team retreat...oh, yes, I am...lol! I had some scraps laying on my desk so I adhered the 5 1/4" x 4" Glow of Harvest mat on my Golden Glow card base. I embossed the 5 1/4" x 1" Crumb Cake strip with the Rustic 3D EF. I had two little Cajun Craze flowers in my stash so I adhered them to the embossed strip. Next I added three 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. Et voila, quick and easy card for one of our church shut ins.

The inside is simple as well using the Thanks & Giving sentiment stamped in Cajun Craze and another little flower from my stash.

 Thanks for stopping by today.
