Hi Blogging Peeps, happy Wednesday to all of you. Oh what a beautiful day it was today and so warm. 80 some degrees and sunny. Just lovely. I made another pot of soup today and gave some to my sister to take home with her and then we ate some too. Then I went to Zumba again today and then came home and got ready to go out to eat with some friends that took me out to supper. It was nice of them to do that. I really am so blessed. This was Mike's sister and brother in law that I stay in contact with even thought Mike is gone. Such nice people. My days are winding down here so trying to see everyone I can while I am here. It keeps me so busy though.
Here is an easy card I stamped that used the Snow Festival DSP and the Make A Mitten set and the Mitten Builder Punch.The card base is Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple Card Stock. I wrapped the Sweater Trim Ribbon around my card and then pierced a hole in the mitten with my paper Piercing tool to attach a Vintage Trinket Safety Pin to hold the darling mitten onto the card. I stamped the Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Wishes onto Whisper White Card Stock and then punched it out with the Scallop Oval Punch and used the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack to pierce holes around it. I love the DSP and it just makes such a cute card. Don't you think so?
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Make A Mitten, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card Stock: Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White, Snow Festival DSP
Inks: Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green
Tools and Accessories: Scallop Oval Punch, Mitten Builder Punch, Sweater Trim Ribbon, Vintage Trinkets, Essentials Paper Piercing Pack, Dimensionals.

Hello stamping friends, I hope you had a nice Monday. Here it is Monday night and I am just getting around to posting. I came home exhausted from work today. 9 hours on my feet and up and down the basement stairs helping guys looking for pipe was hard on my knees. I could hardly wait for 4:00 to strike so I could leave for home. I came home and watched Dr OZ and then I must have taken a short nap. I should have made salsa tonight but no way, too tired. I heated up my Healthy Cabbage Soup for supper and then went out to burn some paper. Between mail and scraps of card stock, I always have a ton plus lately all my Kleenex from blowing my nose. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist up north. Then I will come home and cut up the onions and peppers and can my salsa to get it done. I also want to make cabbage rolls with the huge cabbage I got. Busy Busy!
Okay about my card, I wanted to get in my weekly challenges, so here is my Merry Monday card and it had to be a Christmas Card with a certain layout. I used the Snowflake Soiree stamp set. I used Marina Mist and Whisper White Card Stock. I textured my second layer with the Northern Flurry EF. I cut a strip of Whisper White and stamped one of those darling borders from the Make A Mitten stamp set and then cut some Marina Mist Scallop Dots Ribbon and used the Round Ribbon Slide. I stamped the snowflakes in Marina Mist and Bashful Blue and die cut them out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits. I sponged around all the white pieces with Marina Mist Ink and then popped up the die cut with dimensionals. I added a Basic Rhinestone in the middle of the top snowflake and then stamped Merry Christmas in the corner with the Petite Pairs stamp set. I thought it turned out so cute. Don't you?
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day.
Hugs, Bev

Good Monday morning stamping friends. Well, no bird nightmares last night so all is good. I wanted to share another one of my stamp-a-stack cards. I thought this turned out so darling. I used the Make a Mitten set and Chock Full of Cheer for the mittens. Doesn't my Label Framelit cut out look like DSP? I die cut the shape from River Rock Card Stock and then stamped the borders from that Make a Mitten Set across the cut out. Then I used the Festive Paper Piercing Pack to go around the edge. I rounded my corners of my card base with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch and then sanded the corners to smooth them out. I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Sassy Salutations Set. I used the Round Designer Button Slide and used the Seam Binding that I rolled up in a ball to wrinkle the ribbon. Then I attached it to my card with Mini Glue Dots. I was so tickled pink when I got it done. I love it, don't you think it is cute?
Here are the details:
Stamps Sets: Make A Mitten, Chock Full Of Cheer, Sassy Salutations
Card Stock: Bravo Burgundy, River Rock, Naturals Ivory
Inks: Bravo Burgundy, River Rock, Baja Breeze
Tools: Big Shot, Label Collection Framelits, Mitten Builder Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Round Designer Ribbon Slides, Seam Binding Ribbon, Festive Paper Piercing Pack, Paper Piercing Mat and Tool, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots.
I have to tell you we were laughing so hard stamping all the mittens because they did 3 of each card and they were trying to figure out the tops and trying to save card stock. I got such a big kick out of Jackie and Patty. They were just a hoot. Here they are posing for my picture taking. I love them both they are so sweet.
I hope you have a terrific Monday and thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget about my blog candy as you have more time. You need to go to both Facebook to like my page and to Pinterest to follow me in order to qualify.
