New Baby Countdown

Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Our daughter in law is expecting their fourth baby any time soon. 

Her actual due date is September 5th, and even though she has never delivered early before with the first three, she is experiencing signs that she may come sooner.

With all that said, I thought that I would do a count down to baby's due date by sharing some baby cards.

They do not know what they are having, choosing to have the surprise when baby arrives so I will share a baby girl card and a baby boy card each day until this sweet new little one arrives.

This baby girl card was inspired by one I saw on social media but they did not have a name for me to link to.

So VERY cute using the Polished Pink 6x6 Designer Paper Pack and the Hostess exclusive mega designer pack. 

Before I go on let me tell you how amazing this paper pack is...

PATTERN PARTY has 48 - 12x12 double sided sheets where one side is a pretty, colorful, print, and the flip side is a black and white print. Two of the black and white prints are featured on this card. You can get this large pack of paper by hosting your own "party" or just collecting a minimum of $150.00 in orders, then you can "purchase" this paper pack with your hostess rewards.

Card #1 features the super fun TURTLE FRIENDS Stamp Set TURTLE punch, and the Polished Pink Organza Ribbon. The edges were die cut with the BASIC BORDERS Die set, and I used the MESSAGES Die for the sentiment on the front. The stars were cut with the GIVE IT A WHIRL Dies.

For the inside I used a new favorite stamp set called ONE HAPPY FAMILY. Super, super fun!!


I designed card #2 from a layout in the annual catalog using the MEASURE OF LOVE Stamp Set. 

BUT... I had to alter it a bit. I wanted to use the little baby stamp from a retired stamp set called FAMILY & FRIENDS, and the scale was just too large for my tiny baby. So...I resized the scale and the two bowls to 80%, fussy cut them out, and colored them with my STAMPIN' BLENDS.

Once again I used the PATTERN PARTY Designer Paper, the BASIC BORDERS Dies, and the ONE HAPPY FAMILY Stamp Set. I stamped the "congratulations with VERSA MARK ink and heat embossed with with white embossing powder onto Pool Party card stock.

Today is the LAST DAY to use the August Host Code, so I will encourage you to place your online order and use the Hostess Code provided below.

Hat's Off to a Happy Birthday

Monday, August 30, 2021

 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.

Turtle Friends

Friday, August 27, 2021

 I am in love with this cute little turtle from TURTLE FRIENDS

These are three cards that we have made at my Tuesday Come Stamp With Me Classes

This first one is a smaller sized slim line card so everyone had a chance to make their own envelopes too

It's always good to keep a belated birthday card on hand for that "just in case" situation


On this third card the turtles were stamped and punched from the EXPRESSIONS IN INK Designer paper as well as the background.

The BIGGEST WISH Stamp Set is another favorite new set, and those TAILORED TAGS DIES!! Love them!!

Each card was inspired by... Melody Hyde (no blog link), ? and Patty Bennett

Hello, Daisy!

Wednesday, August 25, 2021

This is a card that we made at a previous Come Stamp With Me Class. I had a couple left over and then realized that I had 2 full 12x12 sheets of the cute daisy paper left over (retired from the free January-February Sale a bration) so thought that I would make up this cute purse and then with the left over pieces I made up 4 more cards for a total of 6 cards to use as a gift for the gal who is Dale's helper at church with cleaning.

The card was inspired by Lorri Heiling

The purse is based from the design of a 31 bag and I will be sharing with my Card Club gals how to make this, however we will be using current designer paper and some new cards/designs. 

If you live in my area and want to join us for the September Card Club, you are more than welcome. You are required to make a minimum $35.00 purchase just like the gals who have committed to a 7-month club.  We will begin a new Card Club season in November if you want to join in on the fun. One of the months you will be the hostess and will receive the host benefits for all sales that night.

Fabulous new products are here within a catalog filled with new, creative project ideas!

Guest Stampers Pam & Inez

Tuesday, August 24, 2021

 The last day of Guest Stampers

Today we have Inez and Pam

Pam's cards: I love it how everyone is using their retired designer papers. Stampin' Up! has such amazing designer papers and so often we have the chance to get beautiful designer paper for FREE. These papers were free during the January-February 2021 Sale a bration and now we have NEW offerings of free designer paper during the August-September 2021 Sale a bration. Please follow the links below to check it out.

These next two cards were shared by Inez.
Card #1 is BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM. I LOVE this set - I use it a ton for the great sentiments plus I think the flowers are so pretty. 
This second card is made using the DAISY GARDEN single stamp, but I love how she only features a portion of the image.
