Hardest Goodbye Sympathy Card

My friend recently lost her beloved companion of 

12 years, Hannah.  I've known Hannah all of her 12 years with my friend.  I will miss her too.  I made this card for my friend.  

The sentiment is from Whimsey Stamps.  The image is Penny Black.

Coffin Wreath for Halloween

I love making Halloween decorations and this year Stampin Up had coffins!  There are 12 in a pack.  I used 24 coffins to make my wreath.  The tops of the coffins were embossed with the Stylish Scroll embossing folder from SU and decorated with a product called Glimmer Kiss, a paste-like goop with glitter in it.  The middle is black glimmer paper. The large bat was cut with my Silhouette Cameo 3 in black and purple glimmer paper from Michaels.  The orange "boo" was cut with SU pumpkin pie glimmer paper from my stash.  I made the bow with a bow dabra.  Everything was glued together with hot glue.

Thanks for visiting today.

Wiggle Worm Birthday

I really don't like bugs!  But these little bugs are so darn cute.  Inspiration came from Patty Bennett's blog here.  I put the shaker tag on a card and gave it my own little spin.  I'm not a fan of sequins. I have some but I preferred to use prills on this tag.  All the elements on this card are from the Stampin Up Wiggle Worm bundle in the 2019 annual catalog except the prills which are from Heartfelt Creations.

Thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the path of hurricane Dorian. 

Thank you for visiting today.

Geared Up Birthday Card

Made this card for my friend Joe in Pennsylvania.  Joe's birthday is today!  Happy Birthday my friend.  I found the details here.
It uses the Stampin Up Geared Up Garage and You've Got This stamp sets.  I think it makes a great "guy" card.

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a great week.

Floral Book Box

I fell in love with this box from The Serene Stamper.  The directions can be found here.The cardstock and paper are Stampin Up.  The flowers are from Heartfelt Creations, the Small Sweet Peony Stamp and Die.  This was my first serious attempt to make these flowers the Heartfelt Creations way.  I will be making more since I love them. 

It's hot again here so that means more time to practice making flowers!  Hope you are comfortable where you are.  Thanks for visiting.

Very Versailles Heirloom Frames

New in the 2019-2020 catalog are the Heirloom Frames and Embossing Folders.  I was drawn to them right away and ordered them first thing.  Here's my first attempt at making a card with them.  Everything I used is Stampin Up.

Stamps: Very Versailles, Climbing Orchid (retired) for sentiment

Ink: Mossy Meadow

CS: Wh. White, Mossy Meadow

Accessories: Heirloom Frames and Emb. Folders,

Mossy Meadow thick bakers twine, Subtles Emb. Folder, dimensionals under center oval.

I am really pleased with the way this turned out.  It usually takes me forever to turn my thought into an actual card as it did with this card too.  At least I like it.  

It is excruciatingly HOT here today so I'm not leaving the house.  The dog however is going to get a bath!  Hope you are comfortable where you are.

Thanks for stopping in today.
