Hello!

Greetings Stampers and Friends!

First of all, I would like to thank those who have served  and those who continue to serve our country to keep this great nation free. The old adage "freedom is not free" is so true. I pray that we, as Americans, never forget it. 🗽

Today's card is one that I have CASed but I can't remember who to give credit to (that happens when I lose the note with someone's name on it.).

"Hello!"

 The thing that I liked most about this card when I saw it were the scoring marks (using ScorPal) in a checkerboard fashion.  I added turquoise rhinestones in different dimensions in each circle stamp. I used Indigo SU ink for the stamps and sentiment. 

My apologies for not leaving details on this card.  We are in New Hampshire, working hard, opening up the cottage and I don't have access to any of my stamping supplies for references. It was VERY cold when we first arrived but today it is beautiful.  I am going to plant some flowers down by the beach and just enjoy the day.

Happy Stamping and I'll be back with another card (with details!) very soon.

Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge #238

Greetings Stampers and Friends!

Unfortunately, it's been a couple of weeks since my last posting because I have been ill with pneumonia! I discovered it takes the wind out of your sails, so to speak. If I am not making cards or doing needlework, then I am really sick!  Now I am starting to feel better and want to (slowly) get back to my life!!

I decided to enter a card in a contest today:  Our Daily Bread Shining the Light Challenge #238, a "Sketch" Challenge.

For those of you who don't know what a "Sketch" Challenge  is, it's a template drawing of how the front of the card is designed and then you follow the design in making your own card.

It didn't take very long to come up with the color combination I wanted to use this time. I chose "Chocolate Chip" and "Crumb Cake" from Stampin' Up.  I also chose a pink card stock from scraps that I save from larger pieces.

I added the sentiment "Bless You" on the front of the card and left the inside blank to write a note to the recipient.

On the inside of the card, I layered (first) pink, then "Crumb Cake" and punched out a heart in the lower right-hand corner.

I made a detailed list of supplies for this card below the photo.

A Cup of Tea and Friendship

Greetings Stampers and Friends!

In today's busy world, we all need time to celebrate our friendships and what they mean to us. Just a slice of time, a cup of tea and words shared between friends. No outside influences or distractions, just conversation over tea. That's what this card is all about.

This stamp set is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps "Special Blend, SNS13-036." The sentiment inside the card says, "they warm the heart.". This is a large stamp set that is worth the investment, as there are many sentiments that can be combined, along with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment. 

I happen to be a big fan of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps because they are among a handful of Christian stamp companies. When I first started stamping, I couldn't find any Christian-type stamps, so I am happy to support as many as I can. Please show them some love and hop over to their site http://sweetnsassystamps.com (click on link) to see what they have for you!


Cardstock: SU Rich Razzleberry, Pink cardstock and DSP from my stash.
Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, SNS13-036, Special Blend.
Ink: SU Rich Razzleberry.
Ribbons & Such: SU Rich Razzleberry 1/4" ribbon; Pink Metallic Dots from stash.
