Hi stamping buddies. TGIF! I sure haven't been too good at posting here lately but I haven't had a day off this week and with that long Election day I am exhausted. I guess I should show you something. LOL! I apologize for not being around much. I hope my life settles down after next Tuesday's party.
This is a card I stamped the other day when I got this new single stamp. I just love it and it fits the the Blossom punch so I thought it was a perfect stamp and make stamping a card so easy peasy. The color I used is Marina Mist and Very Vanilla to stamp this card in about 5 minutes.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Bold Snowflake, Snowflake Soiree
Card Stock: Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, Subtles DSP Stack
Inks: Marina Mist
Tools and Accessories: Blossom Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals
I hope you have a terrific weekend and I hope to post something again soon. Make sure you check out my online store to shop 24/7 or join my team. Click here: www.funtostamp.stampinup.net

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 morning stampers. This is the last of my Stamp-A-Stack cards to show and this will be quick. I have a ton to do before the Fall Festival that I want to sell cards in so I better get busy. It is a nice sunny day and I did get my tomatoes blanched but don't have a lot of em. Darn it. I hate to get out my canner for the little bit I have.
Isn't this card cute? I love how it turned out, simple but beautiful. I stamped the Snowflake from Snowflake Soiree on my Versamark and then directly onto my Marina Mist ink pad and then used Clear Embossing Powder to emboss it. Then I cut it out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits and added Basic Pearls to the middle and the outside and sponged around it also. Then I used the builder wheels of Snowflake Party, Good Cheer, Linked Lace and inked it up with my ink pad and wheeled across the bottom of the Crumb Cake Card Stock. Then I textured it with the Northern Flurry EF. I sponged around the edge of my card also. Very easy and quick but pretty.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Snowflake Soiree stamp set, Snowflake Party, Good Cheer, and Linked Lace Builder Wheels
Card Stock: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Inks: Marina Mist, Versamark
Tools: Big Shot, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Clear Embossing Powder, Jumbo Wheel Handle and Builder Spindles, Basic Pearls, Sponge, Dimensionals.
I hope you have a honey of a day and thanks for stopping by. I pick my winner for my blog candy Friday so your chances are winding down. Make sure you check out my previous post. Live, Love, Stamp Hugs, Bev

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. It is sunny and chilly today. I heard someone tell me the other day that they had frost one morning and that is way too early for that. But oh my, look at this card. My picture does not do this card justice. It is so much prettier in person and the snowflake just screams "Bling". I cased this card from Kimberly Van Diepen but I made my snowflake out of Silver Glimmer paper and WOW it is gorgeous and this was literally a 5 minute card. I should have taken it in different light though, because you have got to make this card to see how beautiful it is in person. I mean it is stunning!Or I guess you can stop over and stamp with me to see it too. LOL!
I used Night Of Navy card Stock and stamped two of the snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Ink on the side of my card and then heat set them with my Heat Gun. Then I textured Bashful Blue Card Stock with the Northern Flurry EF and stamped the Believe from the same stamp set in Night Of Navy. I love that font this set has, don't you? I layered that over Whisper White card stock. Then cut out the Snow Flurry Die with the Silver Glimmer Paper and layered the flakes with a dimensional and then put a Rhinestone in the middle of the top snowflake. Very easy and elegant card. I sold some of the glimmer paper to make this card too.
Here are the details:
Stamp Set: Snowflake Soiree
Card Stock: Night Of Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper
Inks: Night Of Navy, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Ink Pad
Tools: Big Shot, Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Snow Flurry Bigz Die, basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals.
Please let me know what you think of my card and be sure to check out Kimberly's version too. I hope you have a honey of a day and thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Bev

Hi stamping friends, it is Wacky Wednesday I guess because here I am again. Do you think I am like a bad penny? I keep going back to people's blogs that comment on my cards and keep finding challenges. Help me my name is Bev and I am addicted to stamping. LOL! I wanted to do this simple Retro Sketches Challenge. I don't ever want to win anything unless it is SU stuff other than being chosen as the best card. Which will probably never happen. LOL!
This was an easy card but it take me a bit of time. I used the Snowflake Soiree for the Merry that I stamped over and over and then stamped the trees from the Merry Minis set and that has a matching Merry Minis Punch Pack for it. YAY! No fussy cutting. I took my Ticket Duo Punch and punched out 4 tickets and then put them back in the punch to make the ticket smaller. I am shocked they came out the same size. YOO HOO! Then I put them in the Square Lattice EF to texture them. I used all Old Olive Ink.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Snowflake Soiree, Merry Minis
Card Stock: Old Olive, Sahara Sand
Inks: Old Olive Ink Pad and Marker
Tools: Big Shot, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Merry Minis Punch, Linen Thread, Color Spritzer Tool, Dimensionals, Mini glue Dots.
Okay that is it for me today I promise but thanks for stopping by. I appreciate so much your sweet comments. Shop 24/7 here: www.funtostamp.stampinup.net
