"Make-It Monday" - Measure of Love

Hello everyone!  Welcome to my blog today!  I hope you had a terrific weekend celebrating the dads in your life!  My weekend was HOT...but fun!  We spent Sunday, after church, at the lake with our paddle boards.  I had never stood on one before so I was really nervous!  I did it and I am hooked!  I hope I paddling away when I'm 80 years old!  It was a super fun thing to do with my daughter, Kate and son Trevor, while my husband fished!  Afterward we enjoyed a delicious carnitas dinner at home!  Enjoying life...hope you are too!

I have to share some exciting Stampin' Up! news!  This doesn't happen very often and I'm planning on stocking up on consumables on June 24th!  WHY you ask?  Because Stampin' Up! is offering FREE shipping!  That's a 10% savings and I LOVE to save!!

Hey...it's Monday and I want to share my latest tutorial for one of my tutorial groups.  I really love this card!

Tuesday's Tip - Creating with Stampin' Up! Linen Paper

Hello everyone!  It's time for another Tuesday's Tip video and I'm super excited to share this one with you!  I did go out of frame a couple of time and I don't know why I couldn't keep my hands still....SORRY!  I have a blog hop to get ready for tonight so I don't have time to redo it!  Anyway...you are going to LOVE this paper!!

Here's my finished birthday card!  I'll share the anniversary and wedding cards later this week!

I used Bumblebee and Bermuda Bay ins for all of the stamping.  The Linen Paper is cut to 3" x 3" and after stamped is attached to a 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" piece of Basic White cardstock and then to a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock.  I also used Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to bling it up a bit!  

I LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this paper!  I hope you'll give it a try!

Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

I hope you are all well!  I'm surviving a heat wave...not loving it when it gets over 100 degrees...but surviving and thankful for my mini splits!!  I'm working in my workshop...cleaning, organizing, getting my retired things ready to sell and creating!  Boy doI have a MESS...but it feels great to be getting caught up and together!!  

Over the next few days I'll be sharing the really FUN swap cards I received in Maui!  There are so many creative demonstrators out there!

Tuesday's Tip - Spiral Dye Background Stamp

Hello everyone!  It's good to be home and back to creating!  My workshop is a DISASTER and needs some TLC, but I did get a video made today!

Here's the finished card!  I used Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Markers for the background with the Spiral Dye stamp.  The sentiment is from the Biggest Year stamp set.  Both are in the NEW 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. 

Here's a look at the other backgrounds from the video!  For all of these I used Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay ink pads.

THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by!  

Have a FABULOUS week!
