Snowman Season

Hello everyone!  How's your Friday going?  I tried doing a Facebook Live Video this morning. I thought it would be easy...BUT NO...it was a DISASTER!!! I have so much to learn!  I do have a project to share with you today! Hope is INSPIRES you to CREATE!

I joined a group of demos who are sending cards to each other monthly and here's the one I sent.  The cardbase is Whisper White piece of cardstock measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  The top layer is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Let It Snow specialty designer paper.  The Real Read square is 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", the Whisper White square is 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" and the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" designer paper is 3" x 3".  The snowman is stamped with Gray Granite ink using the Snowman Season stamp set and punched with the Snowman Builder punch.  Let It Snow is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto a Stitched Square.  I added a cute snowflake sequin to the top hat (also punched with the Snowman Punch) and a couple of red rhinestones to the sentiment!  Isn't he CUTE?


Well..that's it for today!  I'm heading down to Willam's with my family to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday!  There's a FANTASTIC steak house there called Louie Cairo's. It will be fun to see our adult kids and have them there to help us celebrate. It will be DELICIOUS too!

THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by today!  Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!! Hope you get all the things you need to get done for the Thanksgiving holiday!

Merry Moose Christmas Card

Good morning everyone!  Happy Friday!  Today's a big day at my house!  It's homecoming for one thing and my daughter is riding her horse in the parade (her first one)...then again at the football game for the National Anthem. Our town shuts the highway down (Highway 299 is our main street) for this parade and the 4th of July parade...it's REALLY COOL and NOSTALGIC!  

Next...my sons are all coming up, Erik is flying in from Phoenix and Trevor is picking him up from the airport to drive up here.  Seth will also be here tonight  and they and their dad are hiking into the Trinity Alps tomorrow for a three or four day hunting trip.  There base came will be at Adam's Lake.  My hiking book describes it as a frog pond. It's a small lake, only about an acre but so pretty as  is the hike!  Anyway...my husband isn't much into hunting but he's a really good dad and loves hanging out with our kids.  I'm certain they will have a great time and also shed some tears as our Adam will be missing. We are so grateful for the knowledge that we will see him again in eternity! 

Today I wanted to give you a sneak peak of one of the cards we'll be making at my World Card Making Class tomorrow!  I can't wait!  I think I've decided on serving Taco Soup!

I LOVE this card!  The base is a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Layer one is a 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" piece of Early Espresso cardstock.  The Garden Green gingham is from the Toile Tidings designer paper series and measures 3 3/4" X 5".

I used the Merry Moose stamp set to stamp the tree in Garden Green and the sentiment in Real Red onto a stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The moose is stamped onto a piece of Soft Suede cardstock with Early Espresso ink the cut out with the Moose Punch.  The circle and the moose are both attached with dimensionals.  The bow is tied with Real Red Curly Ribbon and attached with a glue dot! 


This card is SOOOO CUTE!!!  I LOVE the Moose Bundle! You can get it for only $31.50...it's item #153015 and you can add it to your card by clicking on SHOP NOW at the top right of my blog!

THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by!  Have a FANTASTIC Fri-YAY!  Hope you find a few moments to create today...or maybe this weekend!!!

Snow Front...my FAVORITE Holiday Catalog Stamp Set

Hello everyone!  HAPPY FRIDAY!!! What are your plans for the weekend?  Are you expecting stormy weather?  Will you have any time to CREATE?  At any rate, I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend.  I'm heading to Modoc, which is almost four hours away for Kate's volleyball game tomorrow!  Thankfully it isn't until noon so we don't have to leave super early!  She's also riding her horse at the JV and Varsity football games tonight.  A group of girls are carrying the flags during the Star Spangled Banner!  I'm SUPER EXCITED for her! 

Today I want to share my FAVORITE stamp set in the Holiday Catalog with you!  I just LOVE it!  It's called Snow Front and it partners great with the Waterfront stamp set.  For this card, I only used the Snow Front set though!  I hope you love it like I do!

The card base is a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock with the first Whisper White layer measuring 4 1/8" X 5 3/8".  The Pretty Peacock layer is 4" X 5 1/4" and is embossed with the Hammered Metal embossing folder.  The image is stamped onto a stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes framelits.  I rolled the sky with the Sponge Brayers using Coastal Cabana ink with a bit of Wink of Stella to make it glisten!  The dirt is brayed also, with Crumb Cake in then I used the stamp set for the details also with Crumb Cake ink.  The trees are stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.  Below the trees is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink!  Before attaching the stamped image with dimensionals, I added some Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon.  I LOVE this card! 

Hey...that's it for today!  Have a FANTASTIC weekend!  I hope you get to do something FUN!!

Perfectly Plaid Christmas

Hello there crafty friends!  I hope you've had a WONDERFUL day!  I spent the morning with dear friends this morning!  I am so very blessed!  I really need to take the time to do that more often...relationships are so very important!

Hey...I have a pretty Christmas card to share with you today!  Do you know that it's only three months away?!?!?

This card has a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Night of Navy base.  The first layer is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock.  Next is a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper.  It is GORGEOUS paper!

I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set to stamp the sentiment onto a Stitched Shape Oval with Night of Navy ink.  I also used it to heat emboss the tree with VersaMark and Copper Embossing Powder.  The tree is cut out with the Pine Tree punch.  Both the sentiment and the tree are attached with dimensionals, but before adding them to the card I added some 3/8" Denim Ribbon!  Isn't it a great card? It's SIMPLE too!

Well...that's it for today!  I hope you find time to spend with a friend soon!  It's IMPORTANT and such a blessing!  If your want to recreate this card you can get the necessary supplies at my store by clicking on SHOP NOW!

Dandelion Wishes - Elegant Anniversary

Good Morning Everyone!  Yep...it's still morning...BARELY!!! Man...I slept in until nine o'clock this morning!  I NEVER do that!  The weird thing is...I still feel tired!  My chores are done and I'm getting ready to drive to Redding to watch my daughter play volleyball.  I love cheering my kiddos on!  Before I go I have a beautiful anniversary card to share with you!  ENJOY!!

I used the Swirls & Curls embossing folder to emboss a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I tied a bow around the embossed piece using 3/8" Silver Metallic Edged ribbon and then attached it with dimensions to a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Whisper White card base.  Next I stamped the sentiment using the Dandelion Wishes stamp set onto a stitched circle cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits. It is stamped in Gray Granite ink and attached to a Pearlized Doily and then to the card with dimensionals.  I also frayed some Whisper White Flax ribbon, separating it into strands and tied another bow.  I punched some small flowers and added some pearls to finish it off!  I love how it!


Well...I hope you have a FANTASTIC day and that you enjoy a bit of creating time!  I'll be back tomorrow with more INSPIRING (I hope the inspire you), creations!!  THANKS A BUNCH FOR STOPPING BY!!

Piece of Cake - Birthday or Wedding?

Hello there!  Oh my goodness...I got so busy getting ready for my retreat this weekend that I forgot to post my Tuesday's Tip video yesterday!  I'll save it for next week!  I have a class down the mountain today but before I head out, I want to share the last of this month's class projects!

The card base is from Magnolia Lane Memories & More Large Specialty Cards and Envelopes.  You get 20 cards, 20 envelopes and 20 envelope liners for $12.50.  I turned my liner around so it would match my card and stamped in the corners using the Piece of Cake stamp set.  The image and sentiment on the front are from the same set.  I stamped the cake onto a stitched circle cut with the Stitched Shapes framelit dies using Gray Granite ink and colored it in with my Petal Pink and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends markers.  The 3" X 4 1/8" piece of Petal Pink cardstock is embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder and fits perfectly in the center of the card base.  Before attaching it I added a bow using Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon.  The sentiment is punched with the Classic Label Punch of which I cut one end into a banner.  I also added a 4" X 6" piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside of the card after stamping some flowers in the corners! This card comes together quickly and is just lovely!  Some of my other classes turned it into a wedding card...PERFECT!!!  I love it when they make things their own!!
