The Best Kind of Days

One of my team members made this card and I knew that I needed to CASE (copy & share everything) it for my sisters.

Debbie was so kind to prepare a kit for me and then I could use her measurements to create two more.

My sisters and I are VERY close. Two of us live close enough to spend time together and one lives in Arizona (a great place to visit BTW). 

We have all been through a bunch of "stuff" this year with our dad being in the hospital in April, then moving him into a home. Getting his condo cleared out and prepped for sale was a HUGE endeavor, but we finally closed on that last Friday, then three of us celebrated with a lunch out together. I wanted to give each of them one of these cards to tell them how much I love them. Sister #4 will get her card when we meet up in Colorado Springs for a wedding that we are both attending.

Isn't this just the cutest!! Our family are HUGE Pooh fans and this couldn't be more appropriate with all the Pooh gang having a meal together.

The tree die cut comes from a retired set called AUTUMN TREES

Here are the measurements if you are interested in duplicating this card

Base: 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"

Old Olive embossed with the 100 Acre Woods Embossing Folder:

4" x 5-1/4" & 4" x 2-1/2" Also a 1" x 11" scored at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"

You will also need some scrap to die cut the leaves in the foreground of the tree.

Mossy Meadow: Die cut one tree from Autumn Leaves - you will need to trim off the tree trunk as shown

Scrap piece to die cut the piece from SWEET WORDS & LABELS

Pecan Pie: Die cut one tree from Autumn Leaves

Designer Paper: SILLY OLD BEAR 3/4" x 1-1/2" scored at 5-3/8" & 8-1/8"

Cut the image from the designer paper. I used the (retired) Deckled Rectangles, but it's not a necessary step

Also die cut (or fussy cut) a Pooh bear from the designer paper. Same thing for the row of honey pots.

Very Vanilla: Scrap to stamp the sentiment from Sweet Words & Labels, and one piece at 4" x 5-1/4" for the back of the card where you will write your personal message.

Two new kits are available to purchase now:

Swap Cards

At our June Team Meeting we had a New Catalog Swap. This could include some of the new Online Exclusives Products

Here are the cards that were swapped:

Janell made this super fun Halloween card using the OH MY FRIGHT Stamp Set with the SWIRLS OF MAGIC Embossing Folder.

The little ghosts are on these little spinners so it is an interactive card.

Inez used the EVERYDAY ARCHES and the new ALL AFLUTTER Bundle. She also used the new Hydrangea Hue Shimmer Brush on her butterflies.

I would also call Debbie's card an interactive card because when you pull it up you get this... She used the 3x3 FLIP FLAPS so you can add photos to each pocket. This will be so much fun to personalize.

Rochelle chose to use the gorgeous SCENIC COAST Designer Paper and the SUNSET COAST Bundle. Can you see how she added the Vellum sea shells?

This pretty Violet card was made by Marleine. This is the first time that Marleine has joined in on a swap and it is so pretty! I LOVE the Violet Dreams DSP. She also used the SHIMMERING STRIPES Specialty Paper - this card really shimmers!!

I absolutely knew that Dawn was going to use the SWEET OLD FRIENDS Bundle - aka Winnie the Pooh! And such a cut fun fold!

This was also Patty's first time to participate in a swap. She used the PARADISE GARDEN Hybrid Embossing Folder along with our favorite SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE Die

Karen made this stunning card using the SUNSET COAST bundle and SCENIC COAST DSP.

The last card - mine - oops! I forgot to take a picture of my swap card - I used the WATERSIDE RETREAT DSP, and made a masculine card.

During the month of June (2026) the prize I am offering will be the BBQ MASTER BUNDLE

What a fun bundle - perfect for your masculine cards. Father's Day, birthday, etc. All you need to do is place an order with me during the month of June and I will put your name in the drawing to win this very cool bundle.
