Be Back Soon

Hi Friends,

I wanted to check in and let you know why I haven’t been posting. I’m currently staying at my mom’s. She had surgery on Thursday and should have come home on Friday but there were some complications. It’s possible she’ll be coming home today or tomorrow, we hope! 

Meanwhile, I used a product on my face and have had a very bad allergic reaction to it. I went to Urgent Care on Sunday hoping I could get an injection that would make it go away but the doctor said it has to work itself out of my system.  My entire face is covered in an itchy rash and it’s making my skin very tight. It’s downright awful. 

I haven’t sent thank you’s for recent orders but you will get your thank you email just as soon as I can.

I hope to back making cards and posting them here very soon.

Take Care,

 

Butterfly Kisses, Take Two

On Monday I shared four cards I created using Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and today I have two more (I was on a creating roll). You can see the cards from Monday, HERE

 

 

You can check out Monday’s post for any specifics on how I made today’s cards here. For this first card I used Starry Sky cardstock and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder as well as the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Cup of Tea stamp set. I also used Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels

 

 

 

 

For my second card I used all the same products except I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder

My Top Five Retiring Products

 

The January – June Mini Catalog is retiring and I thought it would be fun to choose my top five products.   I would have added New Horizons Designer Series Paper but unfortunately it has sold out. All retiring products are available while supplies last. 

For more information about the cards below, click on the image and you’ll be taken to the original post.  

 

Please note that some products shown on the cards are no longer available 

 

#1 Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set

I love this stamp set and it’s one I will keep in my personal stash.  I love the sentiments and the font used. 

 

Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set Stampin Up

 

 

 

I used Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card below. It’s also retiring and 50% off.  Normally $15.00, now $7.50.

 

 

#2 Flowing Flowers Stamp Set

Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for sentiments and I was drawn not only to the sentiments in this set but the images too. 

 

 

Stampin Up Flowing Flowers

 

#3 Polished Dots

What I love most about the Polished Dots is that I can I can color the clear ones with my Stampin’ Blends to match my card. Instant coordination! They also look really nice just left as is. I’m really sad these are retiring. They are now 30% off.  Normally $7.50, now $5.25.

 

 

New Horizons Designer Series Paper was used on this card but it has sold out. 

 

 

 

 

#4 Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper

I love flowers and I love Designer Series Paper.  When those two come together . . . . 

This paper is now 30% off.  Normally $11.50, now $8.05

 

Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper

 

Inspired Thoughts

 

 

 

 

#5 Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder

I was a little late to the party with this product. I think it’s a really pretty embossing folder and I wish I had used it more. There’s a big heart in the center, which can be cut out with the coordinating heart die but it can also be covered up as I did in the second card below. 

The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes 9 dies is now 50% off. Normally $29.00, now $14.50.

 

 

I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper on this card and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt (both on my top 5 list).

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper

Today I have four cards to share with you. After making the first card, I decided to try several different color combinations using Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies.

 

For this first card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder for the first layer. I layered the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper with Parakeet Party cardstock (one of the new In Colors) and the squares were cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea and also cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Parakeet Party square. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card and a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Bundle Alert: The Cup of Tea Bundle (currently on the Low Inventory List) includes the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and the Teacup Dies. 

 

 

 

For this next card, I used Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment and added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots

 

 

For the next two cards I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment.  The first card was made using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, just like the first two cards but for the second one I used the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. Because of the size of the embossing folder, the entire piece of cardstock isn’t embossed but I felt it looked fine if the unembossed side was over to the left. For both cards, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front. 

 

 

 

 

You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
