Good Morning stamping friends. Oh the wedding was absolutely beautiful last night. I am so happy for Eliott and Reed. They make such a stunning couple. I am so mad because I left my camera at home so I have no pics. GRRRR! I changed purses at the last minute before we left and when I went to grab for it at the church it wasn't there. So now I am at everyone's mercy to get me pics. Today is a big tailgate party at the Iowa game but I am not going. I am going to bake the casseroles and the dump cake I will be taking to Kathy's tomorrow for the gift opening. That should be fun.
This card I stamped quick before I left for a dear friend of mine that gave me a care package to travel with with lots of healthy goodies in it. She is so sweet. I just love her. This is the Ex Libris stamp that is a big background stamp. I used Crumb Cake for my base and Naturals White and used Rich Razzleberry ink.
The greeting is from Curly Cute and I see I stamped it a bit crooked with Crumb Cake ink. Ha, story of my life. LOL! I punched out little flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and stuck them on with a Mini Glue Dot and then added the Basic Pearls. Very easy peasy card for you today. I have a lot of cooking to do today so better get to it. I want to watch the game too so have to get it done this morning.
I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend.

Hi bloggie friends. How are you all today? Ugh! What a long day I had. I worked today and came home and did dishes, loaded some things in my car for my sister as she needs some things like my air mattress and pillows and blankets that she needs to use for the wedding visitors. I am going to end up leaving some of this stuff there. I have to start thinking positive thoughts about selling my acreage. I am tired and am going to do some business stuff when I am done with this. I have to finish some Halloween cards so I can lend a set to my BFF to use when I am gone on vacation. Yes, I am getting into the vacation mode and it will be here before I know it. Yikes. We are supposed to get snow flurries again tomorrow but hopefully it won't end up to much of a mess.
Here is a card I stamped for my party yesterday. I thought it was so pretty in this color. I used the Ex Libris background stamp again on Wisteria Wonder and Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used the Petite Pairs for the greeting and the BoHo Blossoms Punch to add a little flower with a pearl in it. Then I used the Vanilla Seam Binding for a shabby bow. I have to tell you what happened though. I cut a long strip of the ribbon and got it wet and put it in my hostesses microwave. I showed my customers how I was doing it and put it in for 45 seconds and then checked it and it was still damp. So I put it in again and all of a sudden I could smell it burning. I started laughing so hard and took it in to the other room and showed them my burnt ribbon in different places and told them what not to do! We were all laughing so hard. I ended up cutting each one individually and laying them in separate piles and it worked better.
I stamped the image and then inked up the top part of the stamp again so I could get the tag part of the design. Then fussy cut it out. I tied the ribbon through a Ribbon Slide to hold it down and then attached the Ribbon Slide with Mini Glue Dots. I think it's ooohh so pretty, don't you?

Happy Wacky Wednesday stamping buddies. Here I am again. Yay, we got rain! There has been Winter Weather Advisories all day on TV. I usually don't have my TV on during my off days but I wanted to see any news about the fires around here. They are still saying heavy snow is possible. GREAT! There are many areas that have been evacuated and houses that have burned down. So when it started pouring down rain I just looked up and said Thank You God! Hey, I was cutting up an apple and I had out my peanut butter to dip it in and and then grabbed some honey to mix into my peanut butter and it tasted just like Bit' O Honey. YUMMMMY! Okay, so now I am going out for another walk.
I got my cards created for my party and I was making a sympathy card using the Ex Libris background set. It was the first time I used it and I Love it! I will show you my other card after my party. I wanted to get in on the colorq challenge so I used this same stamp set on my card. I cut out my tag with the Apothecary Accents Framelits in Whisper White Card Stock. I stamped a greeting from A Word From You set in Basic Black. I punched out flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack in Melon Mambo and Basic Gray Card stock and put pearls on top and then attached them to my tag with Mini Glue Dots. Then I made a couple of banners to layer underneath. I used the Color Spritzer Tool and my black marker to add some texture to my card.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Ex Libris, A Word For You
Card Stock: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Basic Gray
Inks: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black Ink Pad and Marker

I am going to get my stuff together for my party and then watch the Presidential Debate after I get my jammies on since it is so gray and dreary. I hope you have a great night and thanks for stopping by and I truly appreciate all your comments. Hugs, Bev
