I have a woodsy, masculine card to share today. Yesterday was our 40th Anniversary! Wow! When you are first married, you never think of reaching a large number. Anyway, I have been playing with the Skinny Cards and that is what I made.
This card does not scream romance!! But my husband likes peace and quiet. So that was where I was going with my idea. That said, this card would work for a lot of people in your life.
The background is sponged using Old Olive and Balmy Blue Inks. I stamped the Winter Woods trees in Soft Suede. They are a group of trees. So I started with the ones to the left of center, then added a couple further left, and finally the ones to the right. I did use the little grass stamp to define them and give some texture to the ground.
The sentiment is from Tasteful Touches stamp set. I added the 2020-2022 In Color Dots in Cinnamon Cider for a highlight. The ribbon is the Faux Suede Trim. This is the first time I have used it and I Love it!!! It is soft and very easy to work with.
Here are the measurements for today’s card:
base is 7 1/2 X 8 3/4, scored at 3 3/4
layer is 3 1/2 X 8 1/2
white is 3 1/4 X 8 1/4
sentiment base is 3 3/4 X 1 1/2
sentiment is 3 1/2 X 1 1/4
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and ready for a week of new projects.

I have a sneak peek of new products to share today. This Suite is going to Wow everyone. Especially if you love to travel, as I do! It is the World Of Good Suite of products.
I know we are all on hold for our travel plans, as well as most plans, right now. However, I can still plan the next trip and remember fondly those I have already made. This stamp set is so pretty and I am only using a portion. The Designer Series Paper is World Of Good DSP. The map piece is GORGEOUS! It is in the new In Color Cinnamon Cider with Bronze Highlights. Oh My!! The map is of Europe and is very easy to see the locations. I really hated to cover it up.
The compass is another of the sheets from the DSP. And you can really see the awesome color of the second new In Color of Misty Moonlight. That is by far my favorite of the new colors. The base of the card is from that color as well. As is the ribbon! Love, Love, Love it!!!
I used probably the lesser of the stamps in the stamp set, but they fit the idea I had in my head. I stamped the feather in Gray Granite Ink and then the ink well and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. The additional little details are three of the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots. I have always loves using the various enamel dots Stampin’ Up! has carried and these are in the best colors ever.
I have a tip for cutting the angle of the sentiment layer. I have the written directions and then two photos.
The piece of Whisper White is cut to 2 7/8 X 3 1/4
With the 2 7/8 across the top, place the top left corner on the 3/4″ mark on your paper trimmer.
Place the bottom right corner on the 1″ mark of your trimmer.
Cut off the angle that has.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please let me know what you think of my project and odd shapes.

Today I am sharing one of the New Release Sale-A-Bration Items. It is subtle on the card, and that is a great definition of the item. Have you guessed what it is? Yes, It is the So Very Vellum. And it is more beautiful in person. I love the soft colors.
The vellum comes with this embossing already done for you. All of the sheets have the same embossing. The vellum I chose for the background is the Soft Sea Foam one. I used the Highland Heather Vellum for the flowers. They are die cut using the Dies from Forever Blossoms Bundle. The embossed vellum gives an added definition to the petals.
The stamp is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. It also is die cut using the bundled dies. That is such a great focal point for any design you could come up with.
I stamped in Smoky Slate Ink and then colored with Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends. For the bow, I used the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. It is simply wonderful to work with. I don’t usually do multiple loops with ribbon, but this is so silky and thin I went for it.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all! When I made this card, I did not realize, or I didn’t think of it being Valentine’s Day. I just adore this stamp set. It is the Music From My Heart. I saw a sampler someone had made the other day and it was so pretty. I decided to make a card from that idea. But for a music lover, or music teacher, the sampler would be an awesome gift!
I am not a Red and Black person at all. But I love it for this card. They seem to just fit this perfectly. I have a couple of layers going on with this card. I usually layer, but this is a bit more even for me. I just didn’t like the black on the red then red on the black. I felt like it needed to be broken up a little. The thin Whisper White layer fixed it for me.
I stamped all of the images in either Memento Tuxedo Black, my GoTo black, or in Real Red. The squares are from the Layering Squares Dies. I used the smallest ones that would fit my idea. The Real Red Ribbon down the side is the Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon from the Mini Catalog. I was so happy that I had that. I was trying to make it work with a White ribbon and it just wasn’t the perfect thing.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have an Awesome Day and Wonderful Weekend!!

Today is our anniversary. So I am sharing the card I made for my husband. I struggle sometimes with masculine cards, and a special one is especially difficult for me.
I bought the Rustic Retreat stamp set as a Winter / Christmas set to use. But when I was looking for the set for the anniversary card, I stumbled upon it and pulled it out. After considering, I decided it would work perfectly. At first I stamped the animals together with trees in the background. But it just did not feel right. So back to the paper trimmer and this was the result. A totally different layout than I started with!
When I searched for the proper background, I was looking for greens to match the grass in the animal squares. I couldn’t find what I liked, so then just went through all of the designer series paper. I found this piece, believe it or not, on the back side of one of the Come Sail Away DSP sheets. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be coral or something underwater. But I feel like it works perfectly.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you will return on Monday for another new project. Hope you can get some stamping in this weekend!! I am planning on it!

I apologize for being so late posting today. It has been a crazy morning. But it has allowed me to update my blog with the DSP Sale Flyer! WooHoo! This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is the very popular Buy 3, and Get 1 Free on Select Designer Series Paper. The flyer is at the end of the post so you can see which ones to choose from. My September Host Code is at the bottom as well.
Another AWESOME bit of news is tomorrow is the beginning of the Holiday Catalog! I cannot wait for you to be able to order these wonderful items. I want it all!!
Now on to today’s project. It is a Happy card, and great for showers of any kind.
I love this stamp set! It is the Birthday Goodness set that has donuts and macarons. What is not to LOVE?? I wanted to do a variety of colors because I love the different flavors of macarons. However, the choice of paper made me settle on just two.
I chose the Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow to go with the Daffodil Delight roses. The designer series paper is a reverse side of one of the Magnolia Lane DSP.
The adorable ribbon combo is actually a Ribbon Combo (HaHa!) from the Magnolia Suite of products. It is Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo and is the great linen like ribbon with a Mossy Meadow Baker’s Twine to match.
Thank you for checking in today. Be sure and check out the DSP Sale the starts tomorrow and add it to your list from the Holiday Catalog. If you do not have a Holiday Catalog and would like one, please contact me and I will get one to you.
