Mountain Air Sympathy

Thursday, August 20, 2020
The card that I am sharing today was cased from Debbie Henderson
Debbie is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Maine. She & I met when we were on a Stampin' Up! trip to Washington DC.
I really enjoy watching her blog posts and videos.
The only thing I changed up on this card was the sentiment. I used a Paper Pumpkin Sympathy stamp because it sometimes seems that all the sympathy cards that you see are flowery and feminine and I needed some more masculine cards.
This card was featured at my August Stamp A Stack Classes

Pure Elegance

Wednesday, August 19, 2020
These 2 cards were featured at the August Stamp A Stack Classes, and are my very favorites
On this first one I used one of the new In-Colors called Misty Moonlight with some Whisper White and Vellum. The Dies are called MANY LAYERED BLOSSOMS DIES (#153582) and the happy birthday stamp is from BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM (#152684). You can purchase these as a bundle and save 10% (#154123). the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Misty Moonlight is embossed with the SUBTLE 3D Embossing folder (#151775)
I love the combination on this second card of Petal Pink and Basic Gray on Whisper White.
HERE'S A CARD  (#149438) is the sentiment I used on this card, but the dies are called BUTTERFLY BEAUTIES DIES (#151819). The beautiful embossing for the card base is called DAINTY DIAMONDS (#152702). I just love it!
MINI STAMPIN' DIMENSIONALS (#144108) are the perfect size for adding pieces like these to your card front, and then even sometimes I will cut those in half for tiny spaces.

Weekly Challenge part 2

Tuesday, August 18, 2020
These are the cards that the gals on my team made for our weekly challenge last week
Vicki was the first to send in this darling card using the WAY TO GOAT stamp set
I just love these little goats! Every time I see them they make me smile. That little short fluffy one looks like he is full of mischief!!
Our Challenge last week was to make a card using a new technique - something they have been wanting to try. Not sure what this technique is actually called. According to youtube it is basically called stamping on embossing folders.

The second card came in from Lynda. So elegant!
Lynda cased this card from Kylie Bertucci in Australia
The stamp set is called TASTEFUL TOUCHES
She called it Sprinkle Embossing
It's a very cool idea and you can see the link HERE
Karen wanted to give the "how to use fabric on your cards" technique so since she had this Christmas fabric laying around she thought she would give it a try. 
Here are some other cards that I made with the same 1/4 yard of fabric.
I basically looked at all of my sketch challenges that I had saved to come up with a way to use the different size pieces of the fabric





There were 3 different types of puppies in the stockings and I was able to make 24 cards just with those. So all totaled I believe I made 33 cards with 1/4 yard of fabric.
Here is the puppy one again

Weekly Challenge

Monday, August 17, 2020
Our team challenge for last week was to try a new technique

This is the card that I made to share with them
I chose the technique "how to use fabric on your cards" which I saw on Brandyscards.com
And I chose this sweet Christmas fabric because I am so in love with our new puppies. Hard to believe that they will be gone in nearly 5 weeks. Our time with them is so short, but I am loving it!
Click HERE for the direct link to the technique I used. - Super simple, by the way!
The dimensions that I used:
Whisper White Thick 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
Whisper White 5-1/4" x 4" embossed with the TASTEFUL TEXTILES 3D Embossing Folder
Garden Green: 4" x 3"
Whisper White: 3-3/4" x 2-3/4"
The "Happy Christmas" is from ITTY BITTY CHRISTMAS Stamp Set onto a 1/2" strip
You can use whatever embellishments that you would like, but what you see on my card is the long ago retired Candy Dots. I have a TON of them and I just color them over with a red sharpie marker. Depending on the color of candy dot will determine the final color, but these are a cross between red & black which I thought was perfect.
You can check in tomorrow when I share the cards and techniques that my team members chose to do for this challenge.

Thursday, August 13, 2020
Tonight is Paper Pumpkin Night! A fun (free) night of stamping with the gals who subscribe to the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit.
There were so many elements to the July kit that we are having a second night of fun together. Especially if you purchased the add-on kit.
 These are the cards that I made  - Some are originals and some I CASED

 I love my dies with the villages and the Bethlehem scene. I don't think I will ever sell them


This last one was my favorite and I made several. I created the "sorry you caught a bug" on the computer.
I would love to have you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and choose me as your demonstrator.

Puppy Congrats!

Wednesday, August 12, 2020
Lucy's puppies are 2 weeks old today!
Their sweet little eyes are opening slowly, and it is so much fun to watch them change, day by day.
I wanted to share a sweet card that we received from a friend and fellow stamper (on my team), Inez.
I think it is so clever how she stamped "congratulations" 6 times - one for each pup
Inside she says she can't wait to see them all running in 6 different directions.
We thought having 4 puppies last year was challenging but now it is SIX!

Weekly Challenge part 2

Tuesday, August 11, 2020
I had a good start to last weeks challenge with Vicki sharing this darling shaker card that she made for her grandson.
Just a reminder, our weekly challenge last week was to make a card for a child.
I bet he is going to love it!!
Janell made this darling elephant card using LITTLE ELEPHANT
I decided to pull out my BONANZA BUDDIES Stamp Set for another card to show the team
This 2 year old card was made by Karen - what kid doesn't love balloons! I know my little grands love them!!
Pam made her kids card using the new PAMPERED PETS Stamp Set - Oh how I love this set!!
Rachel used her favorite set of all time BELLA & FRIENDS. She even colored in her pup the colors of the new puppy she is getting from Lucy's litter.
This is another cute puppy card - This time by Lynda who, by the way, is also buying one of Lucy's puppies!!
My next 2 kid cards that I shared with the team is from Bonanza Buddies again.
I realize that I didn't use this cute stamp set nearly enough when it was current
When you end up making these cute cards, it is inevitable that they will end up as a part of the Come Stamp With Me Tuesday *class. Both of these cards were inspired by Charles Mallett
