Stockings are Hung with Great Care

Good evening Stampers!  The only place I have stockings hung is here on this cute card!  lol  I'm trying to get in the Christmas Mode, but having a hard time getting started.

I figured I would start making Christmas cards so I can get them sent off in a timely manor so people can actually get them on time before Christmas.  lol

This card was inspired by Leonie Schroder.  


Items used to create this card:  
  • Stamp Set:  Stitched Stockings
  • Bird Builder Punch for the flames
  • Circle Punch for the Hearth
  • Simply Scored for scoring the bricks
  • Square Lattice Embossing Folder
  • Daubers 
  • Brads
  • SU Designer Paper
This was a really fun card to make.  I'm glad I came across it. 


I hope everyone has a safe & happy evening!

Enjoy the Journey

Here's a card I finally made, Bill told me to try making something, it might pick up / lift my mood a little bit.  My heart still feels heavy but at least I feel productive anyway.

The colors I used to water color the flowers from the Fast & Fabulous stamp set are Poppy Parade and Old Olive.  The sentiment is from It's the Thought stamp set and the "together" is a chipboard sentiment that I had in my stash.  The card is inspired by Vicki B.   


God Bless you and thanks for stopping by!!

I think the Mojo is Back!

So, here is a card I was in a mood to make. I think I have figured out why I "think" I've lost / misplaced my Mojo. Here lately I have been pushing myself to go above and beyond on my cards. To take them up a notch and make them better. I have been running around in circles trying to make them better and greater that all I've been doing is running around in circles with nothing getting finished or accomplished.

I have decided that for a while (unless something strikes me), I am going to start "Kiss" ing my cards. Keep It Simple S.... Silly. For the sake of being chastised for being negative against myself, I have chosen to use the name Silly instead of Stupid for this annogram.  :)

Anyway, I kept it simple & basic and I don't think it turned out too bad.  Besides, less is sometimes more.

Before Bill, my dear husband of going on 18 years was medically retired (construction worker) he still has the "eye".  He spots right off any abnormal levels with anything!  A room, furniture, signs, pictures, etc...  It drives him crazy when things are uneven.  I emboss different shapes in the background that makes the rest of the card look un-even.  With this card, he says it looks like it's not straight.  He's right, it does LOOK like it's not straight, but it is.  You've got the bottom mat embossed with lines at a slant AND you've also got the Designer Paper under the flowers, they are slanting as well.  



So, I hope you enjoyed that little story.  Ingredients used to make this card are down below as labels.

Remember, I appreciate comments and being followed.  If you have followed me and would like me to follow you, please leave a comment with your web address and I will return the favor!  :)

GreenHouse Garden - Also recognized Blog Find of the day for May 13!

Good Morning Stampers! Wow! What a beautiful morning God has blessed us with! The sun is shining, there's no wind, and it's expected to be up in the 80's today! In one of the fields beside us, I think they are growing peas, there are a bunch of quail running around in the field pecking at the seads that are on top of the ground that didn't get planted.  Hey, everyone's gotta eat, right?  ")

I thought today would be the perfect time to share 2 cards with you that I made just the other day. They are as bright & cheerful as the day is starting.  I got hit with some Mojo and have been totally inspired so I've been in such a mad rush to make cards as I don't want the inspiration to go unwasted, I didn't even want to stop long enough to take pictures, transfer them to the laptop, and upload them to the website. Anyway these two cards are made using the Greenhouse Garden stamp set and the vintage wallpaper embossing folder from Stampin' Up!
