Weekly Challenge Part 2

I challenged myself to make a card a day using a stamp set that I have not used before for the team weekly challenge.
Yesterday you saw me using the SWIRLY FRAMES Stamp Set.
The next card that I shared with them is called SO INVITING

Every summer we host a neighborhood picnic so I decided to use this set for the invites

I teamed it up with the OUTDOOR BARBECUE Stamp Set - both of these sets are on the RETIRING LIST so get them now before it is too late

The next card that I shared uses the BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set and the card was inspired by Teri a demonstrator in the UK

The BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set s carrying over to the new Annual Catalog but the BEST DRESSED Designer Paper is on the Retiring List. The Happy Birthday stamp used is called LABEL ME BOLD and this set is also on the Retiring List. - I cannot stress enough to get these products before it it too late.

Next up I used a Stamp Set called MY MEADOW.  I have had this set ever since it was given to us at the OnStage event in November, and for some reason I just never took the time to pull it out. It is returning in the annual catalog so I still have time to use it in my classes.

There are a lot of little pieces so this would probably be a good set for an avid stamper

These cards were inspired by Gail Ellis

Next up is COUNTRY HOME

Now I have to give a disclaimer on this set because I did borrow this set from my friend for a couple cards, but when I knew it did not retire, I thought that I should purchase my own set.

This card turned out so beautiful and was inspired by Brandi Randall on Pinterest (no blog link)

The next stamp set is UNDER MY UMBRELLA - again I need to give you a disclaimer that I have used this stamp set BUT once again I borrowed it from a friend, and when I found that it was going to be in the new Annual Catalog I thought I should purchase my own set.

If you buy it NOW - you can buy the BUNDLE with the UMBRELLA BUILDER PUNCH for a 10% discount.

This will make a wonderful bridal shower card

The last card and stamp set unused is WIGGLE WORMS

This set and dies can be purchased right now for a 10% discount, but they are on the 

retiring list so get them now before it is too late

I'm expecting that this set will come in handy for some cute 

scrapbook pages as well as some darling kids cards.

On this last card I used the butterflies from BEAUTY ABOUNDS.

The other Stamp Sets used are BORN TO SHINE and VERY VERSAILLES.  

BORN TO SHINE is on the retiring list (the dancer is an outline image so I just 

filled it in with the Basic Black Dark Stampin' Blend to make it a silhouette.

I was inspired by my recipe club friend, Rita Schwann, and I made this for Ava, Josh's 

14 year old daughter, for him to give her for her birthday.

Disclaimer: I have used Very Versailles many times as well as Born to Shine, 

but Beauty Abounds is new to me and I hadn't cracked the lid yet, and used it.

Retiring Favorites

Along with last weeks weekly challenge I decided that

Each day I would make a card from a retiring stamp set

These 2 are from BORN TO SHINE - I made these for our grand daughter who is really missing her dance classes and I had made these to give her at her competitions and recital

I was quite surprised when they did not carry over the CLUBHOUSE bundle

I am in a Tutorial Medley Face Book Group and this one was designed by Janet Goshorn. 

Everyone who places an order with me on any given month will receive that months tutorials for FREE. Just my way of saying thank you.  There are 30-35 in our group and that is a LOT of tutorial inspiration!

This was a Mother's day card that I made last year, but this year I offered it for sale on facebook so I was making more this year. Using the TEA TOGETHER Stamp Set and Dies

This sweet card is using the NEW WONDERS Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set. I just love that little fairy girl.

 This card is good for a laugh and uses the YOUNG AT HEART Stamp Set

This darling card was featured on our Tutorial Medley FB group by Melissa Davies. The flowers and umbrellas were cut out from Designer Paper. The stamp set is WELCOME EASTER but I think it is adorable for a baby shower.

ENJOY LIFE is the stamp set for the sentiment, but the SEASONAL LAYERS FRAMELITS DIES are rating with this cute Adirondack chair.

PEDAL TO THE METAL Stamp Set was in the Mini Catalog and I am sad that this one did not carry over. It is so great for teens. The banners I used from BIRTHDAY BONANZA and the Embossing Folder was a freebee in the Sale A Bration brochure.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY has gotten a lot of attention with the whole Covid-19 thing going on.
Some of these could easily be repeats on my blog, but when you find something really cute you want to share it. Maybe these cards will encourage you to purchase the stamp sets featured before it is too late. I cannot imagine parting with any of these stamp sets.

Weekly Challenge

Last weeks weekly challenge to my team was to make a card using a stamp set that is on the retiring list.

I shared with them this card that I made last year using the stamp set FABLE FRIENDS

I made this one for my daughter in law who has our 3 youngest grand children, and then I made one with only 2 little baby goose for our daughter who has our 2 oldest grand children. (Last year)

The first card sent in is from Carla - she used the BEST CATCH stamp set and said she is sad to see it go. (me too)

Rachel sent in the second card ... Rachel is new back in to stamping and only had one current stamp set that is now on the retired list, so she used SWEETLY SWIRLED. She made one with and one without the sweet little pup from BELLA & FRIENDS

A perfect sentiment for our stay-at-home-mandate

Anna made this card using BROADWAY BIRTHDAY

Barb used the stamp set HONEY BEE

And so did Janell - and Janell said she used the bubble wrap technique

Pam made this very spring-like card with DAISY DELIGHT

Just an FYI Although Daisy Delight is retiring, Daisy LANE is NOT retiring                                     

so you can still make gorgeous daisies and use those punches

Karen made a sympathy card using FLOURISHING PHRASES

Lynda made a cute thank you card using ANIMAL OUTING

I bet there are a lot of people you can send thank you cards to during this time.

Who has helped you get through this time?

Inez made this next card with the BEE THANKFUL stamp 

And Vicki used WOVEN HEIRLOOMS stamp set - just an FYI - the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set is RETURNING but the fabulous frame dies and embossing folders are on the RETIRING LIST. I love these frames so very much and am super sad to see them go. Be sure to get your order in before it is too late and they are all gone.

Brenda made this next card using the LET IT RIDE stamp set and the CRACKLE PAINT BACKGROUND STAMP

The very last card to come in takes 4 photos to show the whole thing. Jodie called this a One-fold card

 Jodie used the stamp set IT STARTS WITH ART and the FOLLOW YOUR ART Designer Paper

Great job, everyone!!

That was all for this week - tune in to tomorrow when I share what I made with retiring stamp sets

Sparkling Angel, Sentimental Sunday

Yesterday Gracie had her dance recital.
When the new catalog came out I knew that I needed to purchase the BORN TO SHINE Stamp Set so that I could make Gracie a card after her amazing performance.

The older she gets the more dances she is in.

This year she was in 4 dances, each one so amazing. A solo to HOMESICK, a trio to UNFINISHED, & a group number to SHAKE.

Her duet was to I CAN ONLY IMAGINE by Mercy Me and it was dedicated to her Grandma Great (my mom) who passed away last October. She would have loved to see Gracie dance! but so glad that my dad was with us.

This girl is the most comfortable when she is performing.
Stay tuned for next week to see what/where she is performing next.
The other stamp set that I used is called LEAVE A LITTLE SPARKLE, and the words were perfect for her because her dance studio is called "Sparkling Angel Dance Studio".

And who doesn't love a cute unicorn!!

I used a sketch challenge from Dawn Griffiths. These are so helpful when creating a card from scratch.

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  (minimum $50) during the month of June you will receive 1 FREE package of the NEW 2019-2020 In Color Faceted Dots

Faceted, adhesive-backed dots: 90 pieces: 6 each of 5 colors in 3 size. 4mm, 6mm, 8mm In Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Rococco Rose, Seaside Spray, Terracotta Tile.
