STAMPIN UP WETLANDS AND A FLOWERS CARD

Hi Stampers and Stitchers,

I was asked by my SIL to make some more cards for church. They send these out to folks who can't get into service due to bad weather, and well you know…those darn ailments! :)

The first card is for the men. I saw this on the web and asked if I could CASE it and she said yes!
I was elated!  The DSP is retired but if you click on this link we have lots more to chose from that are just as handsome.

The second card is for women and I think what is also fitting for couples.  Although I'd like to put lovey bluebirds on some cards. I'll test that out later. :D

I hope you enjoy these cards and your day!

PAINTED PETALS, POTPOURRI PETALS, AND SHELTERING TREE BY STAMPIN UP!

Hi Stampers and Stitchers,

Today was an awesome day. It rained! and I stamped!  We need more flowers here in Indiana. :)


My first card for you I call flower delight. I love the stamp set Petal Potpourri and the matching punch.  If you love this set, it is only available until June 2. Stampin Up did not continue it into the new catalog. The flower medallion punch is carried over. Although CASED, I really enjoyed stamping this card.  I did finish this card off with a hello die cut from our Hello You thinlit die set. I used Wild Wasabi cardstock for the word. Also the two way glue pen came in handy for placement.












And now for my second card, I've been working with a lot of red and black fabric and I thought, why not a card? hmmm   So here it is!  I stamped off once on some of the images so they didn't turn out so dark. I have not added a sentiment yet.  What do you think of the card? I like it!! :)  

Painted Petals in only available until June 2. 


Stamp Sets:  Sheltering Tree Photopolymer Only and Painted Petals Clear Mount Set



Cardstock: Real Red and Whisper White

Still Quilting with Pat Sloan; Following Her Vacation 2015 BOM

Hi Stampers and Stitchers,

I didn't realize it had been awhile since I posted.  I've been working on a very special quilt and I will show the final product when it is gifted and opened. It will be ready by June 5 (I'm hoping).

Here is block five of Pat Sloan Vacation Bom for 2015.  This BOM has been really fun to follow.  I chose my fabrics from a whole line and then some and they were on clearance yet to boot. I love that!

I received a Stampin Up order in on Friday. The grandchildren left Friday evening, so hopefully I'll be playing with those sets on Memorial Day. No bar-b-q's that I've heard of as of yet. :(

Here are my very special blocks.  Enjoy! and have a terrific long weekend!!
