Such a Lazy Stamper

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I have been a lazy stamper the last couple of days....plus it snowed overnight (first in over 700 days, LOL) so I have been in that "snow day" kind of mood. So the cards I am sharing are ones I made last week....no challenges, just some fun stamping in my craft room!

Today is Wayne's birthday, and I know that he is chomping at the bit (or the pole, or the lure, or whatever it is that fishermen chomp at) to go fishing! He got lots of fishing goodies for Christmas, so I decided to make him a fishing-themed card for his birthday, using the Gone Fishing bundle:

It's all just stamping, diecutting and layering on a Mossy Meadow card base; the sentiments are from Biggest Wish and the retired Endless Birthday Wishes.  I went a little overboard on the inside:

 

I used some more of the Let's Go Fishing DSP as well as sentiments from the Trusty Tools and Best Family Ever sets.  

My next card is a CASE from Lori Heiling...hers is much cuter; you can see it HERE.  I made mine a bit simpler, and used different stamps and paper.  Who remembers the Etch-a-Sketch?  Lori is so clever!

I added an acetate "window" on my Etch-a-Sketch (wouldn't a shaker card with gray glitter be fun too??) and put it on a wobbler mechanism so you can really SHAKE it!!!

My sentiment is from Super Cool and the stars are cut using the Give It A Whirl dies....a hidden gem that I don't use enough!  On the inside, I added a few more stars, a sentiment from Throughout the Year and the soda image from Super Cool as well:

So fun, I can't wait to mail this out to someone of a certain age, LOL!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

PP670 Yummy for You

Happy Sunday, peeps!  Today is the last challenge of the year for the Paper Players! This time of the year, everyone is needing a break, right?  Claire is our hostess and she is going out with a bang with her bright color challenge:

 

I admit that this one had me scratching my head!  I pulled out a set I don't use very often, called Super Cool, did a little fussy-cutting and die cutting and here's what I came up with:

I used the FMS sketch:

and some Tahitian Tide DSP and cardstock to create the vertical piece, then stamped my goodie in Melon Mambo and Real Red, then trimmed the strawberry and popped it up back on top:

I diecut the sentiment using Love For You dies, then added sentiments on the inside too:

Big and bold and bright!

What will you do with these colors?!  The design team came up with some really beautiful samples! Check them out over at the Paper Players blog and show us your creativity as well!  We'll see you back on January 7, 2024!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

SUO332 Fun Fold Thank You

Happy Wednesday, all!  The SUO challenge (Stampin Up Only) wants to see fun folds, and I thought I would make another card with a fold like the one I did here.  This time I used a new set called Super Cool.  I sort of glossed over it when I first looked at the catalog but then I thought the images would be fun to play with, and the big bold sentiments could be used with lots of other sets!  So here we go:

I stamped the entire ice cream cone image in Pecan Pie, then the ice cream in Early Espresso and the cherry in Real Red, then fussy-cut and glued all the elements together.  I did color in the cone with a Light Crumb Cake Blend and added some glitter "sprinkles" to the ice cream:

The sentiments were stamped on a panel of Basic White, diecut with the Countryside Corners die and I added another layer of Real Red to coordinate with the Real Red DSPs.  This time I put the sentiment lower so that I could add the ice cream cone to the top portion:

Here's a view so you can see the fold; I added a sentiment from Charming Sentiments on the inside as well:

I can't wait to play with this set some more!

Over the weekend, we went to a park in a little river town called Northeast, Maryland....I know, it's a funny name, but it's on the Northeast River!  We were looking at the water and boats and a little entourage of mallard chicks and their mama came waddling by:

There were about five ducklings and they were the cutest things!  However, as you can imagine, there was a LOT of duck poop all over the grass....thankfully we brought our chairs and not a blanket, LOL!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.
