This Calls For Pie

 

I know this seems like a strangle card but my husband's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and he loves pie! He even says often "This calls for PIE"! He will find any excuse to buy a whole pie which he eats all by himself!  So I had to make a pie card for his birthday and I started with a Pumpkin Pie base and another layer ran through with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and then a strip added of the Gorgeous gingham DSP in Pecan Pie. I stamped four pie wedges from the More Than Autumn setin Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored them with the Stampin Blends in Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake. I cut them with matching dies and popped them on the strip and the two Deckled Circles in white and Pecan Pie card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Poppy and Pecan inks and hand snipped them. Inside, I stamped the HB from the retired set Perennial Birthday and the colored the pie in Cajun Craze with  Crumb Cake and the word pie in Pumpkin Pie ink. 

Hope you have a fun day and thanks for stopping by!

Happily Ever After

 

My son is in a wedding next month and needed a card made. I grabbed my Frames and Flowers pack of specialty designer paper. I used a white base and a piece of Soft Sea Foam card stock ran through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder for some texture. I used one of the oval frames from the paper pack plus a few flowers on the front and cut a white oval with the Stitched Shapes dies to stamp my sentiment from the Something Fancy set in Pretty Peacock ink. I added some pearls and a soft sea foam binding ribbon bow. Inside, I added a die cut from the pack and stamped the sentiment from the This Day Forward stamp set in Peacock ink. I added another die cut piece from the pack to the back of the white envelope.

Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Filled With Cheer & Fun!

 

I made two of these as hopefully my last Christmas cards for the year! I have a Pool Party base and then added another piece of Pool Party card stock ran through with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I then cut the white Deckled Rectangle die and stamped the snowman image from the Filled With Cheer set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped on another piece of white card stock the wagon plus wheels and the lights.

 I colored all with the the Stampin Blends markers in dark Granny Apple Green, light and dark Pool Party, light Pecan Pie, light and dark Poppy Parade, light Smoky Slate, dark Daffodil Delight, light Pumpkin Pie, and dark Basic Black. I popped the wagon and pieces after cutting with the matching Filled with Fun dies.  I finished it off with some red rhinestones!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

All Kinds Of Wonderful!

 

In September 2024, I was supposed to go on a crafting retreat with 9 friends but Hurricane Helene had other plans so I did not get to leave Florida. We were bringing pillow gifts and I decided to put together goodies bags with a face sheet mask, eye patches, and a foot mask plus a hand cream and of course, some chocolate squares. I bought all but candy online at Amazon including the white shredded paper and cello bags. 

I tied them with Lost Lagoon ribbon and added these tags I made with the Frames & Flowers specialty paper. I cut the tags from the Country Corners dies in Pretty Peacock card stock and then cut with same dies the DSP print. I punched out the flowers/leaves to add on the tags. I then cut out white Deckled Circles dies and stamped a sentiment from Lighting The Way stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. I hole punched the top and added them with some Calypso Coral twine and added a same color gems to the tag. 

Hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

You Had Me At Doughnuts For The Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Random Acts of Kindness. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today's card is a special fold and a gift card holder so you can slip a little something in to give to a friend or someone in need. I did a little casing from Jackie Bolhuis over at klompenstampers.com  and you can see her card plus tutorial here.  

I have a base of Pecan Pie card stock at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and added a piece of 2024-26 In Color DSP in Peach Pie cut at 4' x 5 1/4".

 For the top card, it is a piece of Pecan Pie card stock cut at 9 3/4" x 4 1/4" and scored on long side at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2".  I cut the white panel pieces at 3" x 4".

For the pocket, I added a piece of DSP cut 1 1/2" x 3" and used tear tape around three edges leaving the top open for gift card. I did add a white label cut from the Deckled Rectangle dies to add a message. 

On the front of the card, I cut a white Deckled Rectangle die and stamped the sentiments from the More Than Autumn set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Pecan Pie inks. I stamped the other images in Memento on white card stock and colored them with my Stampin Blends in SU500, dark Crumb Cake, dark Lemon Lolly. light Pretty In Pink, and light Pumpkin Pie. I cut them out with the matching dies to pop on. 

The next panel I stamped from same set in same colors and those images were colored in SU500, light Copper Clay, light Smoky Slate, light Poppy Parade, and light Crumb Cake.

I hope you have as much fun as I did making this card! I love to color!

This month, the theme is Orange Theory. We hope to inspire you with our creations using the color orange today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I used Blackberry Bliss, Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie, Copper Clay and Garden Green inks. The sentiment was stamped from the Something Fancy stamp set in Blackberry bliss ink. 

It was fun to make and easy to assemble. Check her video and instruction for better than I can explain info.

Nests of Winter For Christmas

 

When you find a layout you like, make several of the same card. It helps when you have cut so many birds from the DSP called Nests Of Winter. So glad to be using up this paper.

I cut with the matching die. I hand snipped the sentiment from the Christmas Scottie retired set in Cherry Cobbler ink. I added some Earth Tone Shimmer gems and a Garden Green twine bow. Super quick cards really.
