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.

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...

Stampin' Up! Friendship Painted Pumpkins Card

Good Morning, peeps! Today's card is the kit I made for the team retreat in Georgia. I also made pillow gifts for each team member who was there. It was a fun time and you never knew what conversation topic would present itself. BUT you did know what the card kits would be and they were all wonderful as was each meal prepared by James. It was the first time I had met my teammies in person. I'm hoping to go again next year if I'm lucky enough to win the "lottery". In any event, take a look see...

 

I have instructions if you are interested. Just leave your email in a comment and I will send them to you. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop.

 

Stampin' Up! A Stitched Season and Poe

Good Sunday morning, peeps! Today is the last day in Georgia at our team stamping retreat. If I get ambitious, I'll post more cards and photos in case you are interested. If not, don't look...lol!

I got my furry fix this weekend, which began on Thursday. This is Poe, one of the family the owner of the Crafty Elk Lodge has. Poe is a BIG boy!

Isn't he handsome? He is as gentle as he is handsome. I am covered with his white hair but I don't care! Wish I could take him home with me, along with the chef/owner at the Lodge! Here's one of the cards we made. This is the first card I made and it was designed by Charlene Tackvic a/k/a All Kinds of Crafty on You Tube.

I'll be adding more cards from the retreat soon but this was my first Christmas card of the year. Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Stampin' Up! Painted Pumpkins Birthday Card

Good morning, peeps. Fall still isn't in the air...it's supposed to be 94 degrees in TN and 92 in GA! Real feel is 103/98...yuch! Hummingbirds are migrating here along with some other birds so there's hope that fall will be closely behind. Fall brings pumpkins and gourds so here's a few for you today...

I CASE'd one of my uplines, Amy Koenders. Everything I used is listed in the chart below.

For the inside...
