Hello it is me again, do you remember me? I know I have been very lax in posting lately but I am hoping I can do better now but I can't promise anything. I have decided to do another stamp a stack the first of December. I tell ya, I do this to myself this time of year. But it is a fun time for me and my stamping buddies. Oh and YUCK I have discovered I have a mouse upstairs or should I say mice. I haven't found them yet but have my trap line set. ICKY! is all I can say. For years I have had them only downstairs and it just amazed me but now I find tracks of them up too. I am so disgusted. I don't want to get a cat either but I might have too. It has been so icy here and after falling on my bum twice now and slid out of control into a ditch when I drove onto the gravel, not even driving over 20 MPH. I am sick of winter already and it hasn't even come yet. However today is sunny and not windy. Actually quite nice when I went out to my car and mailed some birthday cards.
Anyway on to my card. I love this years Simply Scrappin' sets as the designer papers and die cuts are so pretty. And don't you just love love love that Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder? I love it? I used it to textured my 2 flowers after I punched them out with the Blossom Punch and Riding Hood Red Card Stock then added a little Summer Sun Sticker Flower and a Pearl to it. The tag is also a sticker in the kit and I just stamped the Happy Birthday on it and popped it up with dimensionals. I spritzed it a bit with my Riding Hood Red Marker and Color Spritzer Tool. I hope you like it and it inspires you to buy these kits. So cute!
Here are the details;
Stamp Sets: Memorable Moments
Card Stock: Summer Sun, Riding Hood Red, Pinweels on Parade Simply Scrappin' Kit

Yay, the weekend! OMG is was so hot yesterday. I came home did my normal check email and blog comments and SU website and all and then stamped this card for a friend that needed it. I then went for a 3 mile walk as it had really cooled off nice. It was hot in my house though. UGH no air. I must be nuts! Oh well, I took a cool shower and then I was fine. Except the battle with mosquitoes trying to bite me too. Geesh! I tried to relax in bed but the buzzing around my ear drove me nuts. I think I must have finally fallen asleep with the sheets over my head. LOL! It is a cool sunny morning and I need to finish up on swaps and run some errands.
On this card I used the Memorable Moments set and Papaya Collage set with Bravo Burgundy and River Rock Card Stock. I used the Delicate Designs Embossing Folders and the Large Scallop Edgelits and then tied some discontinued Lace ribbon around it and stamped the floral image on Very Vanilla masking the flowers. I cut that out with the Labels Collection Framelits and then stamped the Happy 40th right onto the River Rock. Pretty quick card really and Easy Peasy!
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Memorable Moments, Papaya Collage

Happy 4th friends, I hope you have a happy and safe holiday shared with friends and loved ones. I just stamped this card in honor of the 4th. What is more American than the cherry? I wanted the background to kind of look like fireworks or something so I used this EF called Flurry I believe and it was in our last years holiday mini and I just looked up the name of it in our newest catalog and to my surprise it didn't get carried over. WHAAAA! I just realized that. I love it so I will keep it but just know you can't purchase it any more. SO SORRY! I try to post only current merchandise so I apologize about that. I was trying to think what I had for a Happy 4th and my sets were all discontinued so I used the Wacky Wishes Hostess set with my marker and Memorable Moments to stamp the 4TH. The cherries come from the Mouthwatering set and don't they look yummy?
It has been so scorching hot and I think my mojo got overheated. LOL! I don't have air, and with my house for sale I didn't want to spend money on it and am not too fond of those window units. I have a very busy month and will be traveling anyway for the last half of the month to spend some treasured time with my family. I work about every day till I leave on the 13th and will be down in Iowa till the first of August. I am not sure how much I will be posting but hopefully I can get a bit of stamping in to share with you. Here is a tip for you, did you know that the blender pen will take ink off of your stamp. I stamped this cherry on the edge of my ink pad and got a little bit of the cherry cobbler ink on the stem. I wiped it off with my finger somewhat but wanted it totally clean so took my blender pen over the stem and it picked up the rest of the ink.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Wacky Wishes, Memorable Moments, Mouthwatering
Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla
Inks: Night Of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green Marker, Blender Pen
Tools: Big Shot, Flurry EF, Framelits Labels, Cherry Cobbler 1/2 Scallop Dots Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Sponge, Dimensionals
I hope you have a terrific day and it looks like we may get rain. I hope so anyway. Maybe it will cool down then. Thanks for stopping by. Now remember to create something cute and bee happy. Hugs, Bev
