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.

 

Stampin' Up! Barely Blush Pretty Poinsettia

Stampin' Up! Pretty Poisettia Glow of Harvest Thinking of You Card

Happy Friday, peeps! I made this card at the team retreat in GA. What? You're not surprised? Well, I was because I was CASEing Kim Quade and did not have a foliage die with me so I was fortunate enough to borrow a die Tara had with her. It's from the Pretty Poinsettia Dies and I had gold foil with me. Take a look-see...

Not only do I love this die, but I love the Glow of Harvest DSP paired with the Early Espresso card base. I also borrowed Tara's Spotlight on Nature Circle Die to cut out the vellum. I swear she brought her entire craft room with her...lol! I did bring my own VersaMark ink, white embossing powder, heat tool, and Stylish Shapes banner die to create the sentiment from the retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set, which I took with me!  The embellishments are from the Painted Patch Adhesive-backed Dots.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Stampin' Up! Balloon Festoon Birthday Card

Good morning stamping friends. I've got another card I made at our team retreat. Yes, there is no end to the retreat cards...lol! Take a look-see...

This one was brought by Becky. I think it's so pretty with the Basic Beige cardstock, accented by the Hydrangea Hue cardstock mat and the DSP mat and strips from the Bloom Boutique DSP. The balloons are cut from the 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper. If you would like instructions, just let me know in a comment.

Thank you for stopping by today.
 

Stampin' Up! Scalloped Painted Patch Thanksgiving Card

It's officially fall, yippee! Now if cooler weather would play along, I'll be quite content. I am very content with the hummingbirds outside my back porch. I just wish they'd get along and share the feeders! There's enough nectar for them all. Some must be juvies because they are REALLY tiny! I put the feeders out after I returned from my team stamping retreat in GA. Here's another card I made while I was there...

and the inside...

 

The ingredients are listed below. Speaking of ingredients, I forgot to ask James how to make this delicious dinner dish we had Friday night...

 As Mary would say, it was the "bomb diggity"! I had two helpings which is unusual for me! I am not a fan of chutney but the sauce was great.

Thanks for stopping by today and think "fall"...that too is the bomb diggity!

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers for the Monthly SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

 Hello my stamping friends.  Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today... 

  

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

 

 Doesn't look like a fun fold, does it?! Well, back in June, my upline and friend, Mary Deatherage made a card with an accordion fold on the inside. I just had to try my hand at it. I followed her design but everything is else is all me!

The inside...

and a shot from above...

You can see Mary's card here and she gives you the measurements for the base, the mat and focal panel, along with pieces I didn't use, and the accordion fold.

I just love this DSP and the Rich Razzleberry color. Everything I used to make this card is retired (with the exception of the pink mat). 

Mary got this card I made along with a gazillion other congrats cards on Saturday at our retreat in Georgia. In case you didn't know, Mary just hit the million dollar mark in sales for Stampin' Up! It was a joyous occasion. Here's one pic out of many during the celebration...
