For All You Baseball Fans!

I wanted to use some of the products from the January to June Mini Catalog that did NOT carrying over to the Annual Catalog.

I figure if I don't feature them you might miss out on some very cool products.

Today's products are the HEY SPORTS FAN SUITE with the YOUR BIGGEST FAN stamp set

Here is the full suite of products

This first card is one that was featured recently at a Come Stamp With Me Tuesday Class and was inspired by Kim. I loved teaming it up with the HATS OFF stamp set & dies (retired)

Measurements:

Base card - Real Red - 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Very Vanilla - 1-1/2" x 3-3/4"

Night of Navy - 4" x 5-1/4" & 1-5/8" x 3-7/8"

Designer Paper: 5" x 3-3/4"

Card #2 also inspired by Kim

Measurements: 

Very Vanilla Thick - 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4 & 7/8" x 4"

Night of Navy - 1-1/16" x 4"

Designer Paper - 4" x 5-1/4"

Card #3 shows that this product line does not need to be ONLY for baseball themed cards - this card was inspired by Glenda Calkins. This card will be featured at a Tuesday class and they will vary in color

Card #4 takes advantage of all the tags from the designer paper and they are super easy to cut out using the coordinating dies. This card was also inspired by Kim

Measurements:

Night of Navy base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Designer Paper - 4" x 5-1/4"

Very Vanilla - 1-1/2" x 5-1/4"

The ribbon is a retired combo pack from Playful Pets, but any Real Red Ribbon will work

Card #5 was inspired by Sue, but I changed it up a bit by using a different piece of designer paper, and I added the little tag with stars and a circle punched from the designer paper with a 1-1/4" punch (retired)

I will just share that I added the red tag because I had a blemish on my card and I needed to cover it up :)

I always say that there are no mistakes in stamping, just an opportunity for embellishment!

Measurements:

Base: Very Vanilla Thick5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Designer Paper: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" for the base & 4-1/4" x 3"

Real Red - 4-3/8" x 3-1/8"

The Resin Stars Embellishments you see on the cards are a part of the Hey Sports Fan Suite

Card #6 was inspired by Christine

Measurements:

Very Vanilla Thick base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" score at 4-1/4" & 1/2" strip for the happy birthday strip

Evening Evergreen: 4" x 5-1/4"

Designer Paper: 3-3/4" x 5" (yellow with stars), 1-1/2" x 4-1/4" (evergreen with balls) & 3/4" x 4" (red stripe)

Card #7 was inspired by Joyce

Night of Navy card base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"

Real Red - 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"

Designer Paper - 5-1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla - 3-1/2" x 2"

I hope the measurements are helpful. Not a one of the demonstrators that I mentioned shared the measurements on their blog posts and I know how helpful it is

Hats Off For Your Birthday

My sisters are some of my best card customers! Our mother taught us well to encourage one another with cards. She was the BEST card sender, and thoughtful person. But since my sisters don't want to make cards they are happy to buy them from me.

This card was a special request from one of my sisters for one of her sons-in-law. It was inspired by Debbie Henderson

Hats Off To You!

I was in some desperate need on having masculine cards on hand, so HATS OFF to the rescue

I had just a bit of this masculine plaid designer paper left so am putting it to good use

 Inspired by Cindy B

What I changed: I made it a simple card, where Cindy made it a fun fold. I sometimes find that when I send fun fold cards in the mail, the receiver isn't always sure how to set it up. There are also some other subtle changes as well.

Hat's Off to a Happy Birthday

 Our youngest son, Joey, celebrated his 35th birthday this weekend.

Oh so hard to believe that my "baby" has hit this milestone. 

Joey was our baseball player, playing from little league through his senior year of high school.

Even after high school they would have a late summer game with the current baseball team and the alumni, and Joey played that game for a few years until his shoulder went wacky.

It was very appropriate to make Joey a ball cap card from his favorite team - the Detroit Tigers. In fact he chose to propose to his wife at the game tiger statue in front of the Tiger Stadium.

I had to grab a Detroit Tiger image from Google and size it appropriately to fit the front of his hat. Shhh...I made one of these cards for our daughter for her April 11th birthday next year. (good thing she doesn't check in on my blog posts!!) She is a huge Detroit Tiger fan, and enjoys the friendly competition with her fella who is a New York Yankee fan.

Happy Fourth of July!!

Our grandson, Sawyer, has a star spangled birthday so when I saw this card by Lisa I just had to give it a try - super simple - quick and easy using the HATS OFF BUNDLE and the PLAYFUL ALPHABET Dies.

This would be great for anyone or keep off the Happy Birthday and make it a Veterans card.

What I changed up: I changed up the layering sizes. I also added the Subtle Embossing Folder for the Basic White layer, but not the layer with the sentiment.

Measurements are: Night of Navy 8-1/2 x 5-1/2

                               Real Red 5-1/8 x 3-7/8 & 7/8 x 5-1/8

                               Basic White 5 x 3-3/4 & 3/4 x 5-1/8

 These are the select Designer Papers that are on Special with 15% off 

Such a great time to stock up, and by using Stampin' Up!'s amazing designer papers it makes card making so easy.  Please follow the links below to place your on line order with me.

Floaters

 Three weeks ago I started to experience "floaters" in my left eye.

At first I thought that it was bugs in the house, but quickly realized that wasn't the case.

I also remembered that my hubby experienced some "floaters' several years ago and that they would just go away like his did.

When it only got worse (and I checked out google) I made an eye doctor appointment to rule out a tear in the retina. Thankfully it was NOT a tear (which could cause me to lose my eyesight). However what it ended up being is the vitriol was completely detached from the retina.

The vitriol is the sack of fluid that is connected to the retina and often times people will have partial detachment causing "floaters", but as long as it is still connected to the retina, the vitriol will reattach to the retina and the "floaters" go away.

In my case because the vitriol is completely detached, it will NOT reattach. There is no cure, no medicine to take, no drops to apply. It is an annoyance that I will have to learn to live with but if it gets too bad I can have surgery. I guess the surgery will take out that sack of fluid and put in a new one. That doesn't sound like any fun AT ALL! However - living like this is HORRIBLE - I hope I can train my brain to overlook the black blob that floats in front of my eye as well as the gray haze that covers everything.  I think I will invest in an eye patch especially for times like this on my computer or watching TV.

I was trying to come up with a fun card so I pulled out a set of glasses dies and made this cute card

I saw one on Mt Favorite Things to get the cute saying.

The stars are stamped with Craft White Ink onto crumb cake card stock. The star is from HATS OFF Stamp Set as well as the star die cut.
