Dapper Denim

Good Morning!!

I want to share with you this morning two cards made with a favorite retiring cardstock – dapper denim. I am so sad to see it go. But I have some extra put away so I can come back to it anytime I want. The ribbon is also retiring.

I made the card base with daffodil delight. Love, love the two colors together.

The stamp set I used for the greeting is Hello Friend found on page 17 of the annual catalog. It is a retiring stamp set so order before 5/31.

The Rose Garden thinlets found on page  216 of the annual catalog are also retiring. And a little goof on my part I have two sets of these thinlets. I guess that shows how much I really like them:)

Have a great day and until next time. Char

 

Hello

 

Good Morning. I have decided to have classes at my local library every third Tuesday of the month until October.  I had my first class yesterday . Such a great turnout. Nine women gathered and I think they truly had fun. I did.

This card is inspired by my upline Susan Horr. She had sent me a card and I thought it was so cute. So I used her design with stamps I had . The women had fun with it.

I used the wreath and flowers from the stamp set “Hello Friend” . The wreath was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist. Flowers were stamped in Night of Navy.

The greetings are from the stamp set ” Eastern Beauty” stamp set and were stamped in Night of Navy.

And of course I had a couple of punches. I wanted to show them it doesn’t take a lot to make a beautiful card from the heart. There were a couple of ooo’s and ahhh’s. I am not sure of the spellings but you get the idea.

Anyways it felt good to get back at the Library and to having a class. I think the Librarian was as excited as I was. There was  a lot of excitement in the room.

Hello

Hello. I have been away for some weeks and want to start sharing some of my cards  again. Tom and I are wintering in Florida and the weather is beautiful. So needless to say most of my card making is done late in the afternoon after I have soaked in the sun. I boxed a few stamping supplies and brought them with me but I have borrowed many items from my friend Kim who lives in Florida year round  . She is also a StampinUp! demonstrator and has so much product. It has been a standing joke  that when the main warehouse at StampinUp! runs out of something they call her to see if she has extra. So I will be combining retired and current items in my posts.  The card above is made with the current annual catalog and the 2018 Occasions catalog. And it is very simple to make .

From the annual catalog I used :

144059 – Hello Friend

141474 – Cupcake Cutouts Framelits ( for swirly gigs:)

141493 – Petal Burst Embossing Folder

119682 – Marina Mist Cardstock

115316 and 126950 – Rich Razzleberry Cardstock and Ink

From the Occasions catalog I used 145564 Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper.It is beautiful paper. The catalog does not do it justice. I have also featured a piece for the background in my picture.

A reminder to you Sale-A-Bration is continuing to March 31st. Go to my online  store and place a $50.00 or a $100.00 order from the Annual catalog , the Occasions catalog , or both and receive a FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. If you any questions please contact me.

Have a great day! Char

 

 

 

World Card Making Day

Today is World Card Making Day. I am planning to make at least 10 cards today. I like to have birthday cards and thinking of you cards on hand at all times. My goal is to send weekly cards  for no reason at all. Just to say “Hi”. I sent a birthday card to my Aunt. She texted me to thank me for the card and how much she enjoys getting my cards . She  is definitely on the list to send a card too.

So I challenge everyone today to make a card and send to someone for no reason at all except to say “Hi”.

Have a great day. Just a reminder Stampin’Up has some great promotions during October. Click my Shop 24/7 button to see. Until next time. Char

Hello Friend

I can honestly say the Christmas Quilt bundle is my favorite of all time. I know I will say that again about another bundle but now it is this one. I have spent the last two days creating a dozen or so cards with the Quilt Builder Framelits. I know I should be thinking about Christmas cards but I need cards now for birthdays,  a friend having surgery , and a friend in Florida recovering from Hurricane Irma.

I chose the stamp set Hello Friend . I feel the greeting will express to everyone I am thinking of them . It is on pg. 17 in the annual catalog. At times I find it frustrating  choosing colors for a card. I draw a blank. Well Stampin Up helps you with that. My inspiration came from  the annual  catalog in the Designer Series Paper section (pg. 187-189) . Stampin Up gives a suggested cardstock pack with three colors to match the Designer Series Paper you choose. Well I had bought the Naturally Eclectic Cardstock Pack a while back. I went into my craft room and it jumped out at me. The Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, and Soft Sky are so cheery.

You can be so creative with this framelit set. I will try to create a “quilt block” using Designer Series Paper next.

I cant explain how much fun I had creating with this bundle. My mind is busy with  everything I want to  do with this set. The stamp set and framelits when bought as a bundle are priced at $45.75. Just so many ways to create a card. Have a great day and weekend. Thank you to my friend Susan for giving me the inspiration to use this set. I can’t believe I had not  opened until two days ago.

Products used are from the holiday (HC)catalog and the annual(AC)catalog. Please contact me if you need either catalog or click the shop now button.
