WooHoo!! It is November 1st. Do you know what that means? You can order the new Paper Trimmer today! The Christmastime Is Here Suite is also available.
I have a quick Birthday card to share today. I am back to the annual catalog and the Daisy Lane stamp set.
I am so happy the way these daisies turned out. I stamped them with Merry Merlot Ink, and then sponged them with the same ink again to give a variegated look. I used both of the sizes of Daisy punches for this project. The center daisy is fussy cut. For a touch of glitter, I added the Glitter Enamel Dots to the center of each flower. I also added a couple to the background as well.
The background is the fern / leaf from the stamp set. I stamped it full strength and some stamped off to show the depth. The Whisper White panel is cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. For the background I used a back side of one of the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper. I love this music sheet look.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return on Monday for another new project.

I have another card with the Nautical Theme for you today. I shared one a couple of weeks ago. You can see that card HERE. I have to take a break from the holiday themes occasionally for birthdays and other card needs.
The Designer Series Paper is the star of this card, as is the case with quite a few of my cards. This one is the Come Sail Away DSP. I paired it with the Sailing Home stamp set for the lighthouse. The large SMILE comes from the Daisy Lane stamp set.
The measurements are:
5 1/2 X 8 1/2, 5 3/8 X 4 1/8, 5 1/4 X 4 for the base and main layers
4 7/8 X 2 1/8 , 4 3/4 X 2 for the rope DSP layer
3 3/4 X 2 1/8, 3 1/4 X 2 for the lighthouse layer
Thank you for stopping by today. Please return on Monday for a week of more new projects. I hope you have a great weekend.

When looking through the stamp sets for a birthday idea for a stamping friend, I found the perfect set – or sets! What is better than It Starts With Art and Crafting Forever. A win / win.
This card does not scream “Birthday” so it could be for any occasion needed for a crafting or stamping friend. I was thrilled with how the two stamp sets paired so well together. I may have even gone a bit overboard on all the cuteness.
I used the It Starts With Art Bundle (stamps and dies), along with stamps from Crafting Forever. I used the Button Embossing Folder as the background. The embossed and die cut button is from the bundle and has a bow from Baker’s Twine as the string. The ribbon looking strip across the bottom is from the bundle as well.
Before I go, I wanted to give you my thoughts on the New Paper Cutter. I LOVE IT!!!! And I am not just saying that because I want you to purchase it when it becomes available to customers. The cutting blades are awesome. They are very sharp and require no pressure when sliding the blade. I have had to work on that part. The only thing to get used to is the bar itself. It locks into place when it is closed. I had to play with it a bit to figure out how to easily open it. But I think it gets easier the more used and as I get used to the proper way to open it.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are having a good start to your week. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

I am playing along with the FabFri174 challenge for today’s card. It is a color combination that is right up my alley.
I used the Cup of Christmas Bundle for a non-Christmas card. I hope you look at stamp sets the same way. What else can I do that extends the life / usefulness of a stamp set.
Here is the Challenge icon:
Orange is one of my most favorite colors! So when I saw the color combination I knew I had to play along. It reminds me of the 60’s and 70’s and the large flowers that were on EVERYTHING! I think I had jeans, tops, even a trash can in my room with the bright flowers.
For the background I decided to give detail to the Melon Mambo and added the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder. I believe it fit perfectly. The tag is from the Christmas dies . The sentiment fit perfectly and it is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.
I added a few of the epoxy drops to the background to give a little extra sparkle. The ribbon holding the tag is actually Grapefruit Grove, but it works well with the Orange, or in my case, Pumpkin Pie. The “steam” from the cups is from the Birthday Backgrounds stamp set.
MEASUREMENTS:
5 1/2 X 8 1/2
5 3/8 X 4 1/8
5 1/4 X 4
2 5/8 X 4
2 1/2 X 4
2 3/8 X 4
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new project. I will be sharing a card using the Christmas Rose Bundle. I love the entire bundle, but it is great that you can purchase the pieces that you like and not the entire bundle if you do not want it all. I did……and I LOVE the bracelet!!

The beautiful Purple Posy Ink is available to order now and I am celebrating that a card to showcase it.. I am pairing it with a few random pieces, that being from Stampin’ Up!, all work perfectly together.
The star of the show is the beautiful Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. But it is closing followed by the Purple Posy Card Stock and Ink. I love the softness of the color. The background of the Purple Posy card stock really pulls the color from the DSP as well.
I stamped the Floral Essence flower stamp twice using the Purple Posy Ink and punch it out with the Perennial Punch. They are layered together using a glue dot. The leaves are punched from Mossy Meadow card stock using the Leaf Punch.
The sentiment is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set. I added the small flower from the Floral Essence set to tie everything together. The punch I used is the Story Label Punch.
This would be a great card to make multiples of. With a bit of stamping and the great punches, it would be easy to have an assembly line going on this card.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you will return on Monday for another new project.

It can be quite difficult sometimes to make masculine cards. I have a hard time with trying to personalize a masculine card when I know the person well. I believe I have solved my problem for the time being. The Rustic Retreat seems to be the answer.
I have found that most men like the outdoors to some degree or other. And what is not to love when it comes to the mountains? So I believe the Rustic Retreat has endless possibilities. I tried to give the illusion of a cabin in the woods. Of course I had to add an animal. I chose the Black Bear as they are prominent in the Smoky Mountains.
The sentiment is from the Rustic Retreat set as well. I added the sprig of pine in a stamped off Mossy Meadow and added the sentiment over top. The two layers of the sentiment are the Timeless Label Punch and the Everyday Label Punch. To ground the tag, I wrapped Linen Thread around several times and secured it on the back of the base layer. I then wrapped several strands together and tied a bow.
I hope you will look to this stamp set and see if it meets any of your masculine, or anyone who likes the mountains, card needs.
