Tropical Thank You

With the cold temps we have been experiencing these past few days here in Southeast Iowa, the Boxers have not wanted to venture out for their daily walks.  I can’t say I blame them, and I am happy for their good sense.  While they lazed in front of the fireplace, I played with my new stamps from the January – June Mini Catalog.  I mentally escaped the bitter temps by creating a tropical thank you card! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

This week, the amazing Anne Marie has a wonderful color challenge for us:

tropical thank youIsn’t this a yummy trio of colors? I used black as my neutral.  I can’t wait to see what colors you use!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

This was such a fun card to create. The new Artfully Layered bundle is filled with bold images and die cuts, just perfect, as the name would imply, for layering! And if you look closely, you can get a peek at a new embossing folder, Splatters. It forms the backdrop for my collage of foliage.  I can already tell, both the bundle and the embossing folder are going to be favorites of mine.

Tropical Thank You

This is an easy card to make, but it does take time because of the layers, embossing and die cutting.  But, I think you will be pleased with your results.  To download the free step-by-step tutorial for today’s  Tropical Thank You card, which includes all the paper measurements and all of the current products used, please click on the button below. For every card which has been posted on my blog since 2019, there is a free tutorial.

Nueve’s Canine Corner
Hi, everyone! It’s me, Nueve! It’s been really cold here, and Mom doesn’t let us stay outside very long. She’s afraid our ears and toes will get Frost bitten. I don’t know who Frost is, but he is a bad boy.  Good boys like me don’t bite!

When we come back inside, we all rush to get a place in front of the fire. Sixx  and Uncle Jack always get the bestest spot in front of the fire window.  They always get to lay wherever they want! Grrr!

Great Uncle Brody likes the special bed.  It’s up on little legs.  He’s old, and it makes his bones feel better.  I like to lay on it, too.  Sometimes I crawl up on it with him. He doesn’t mind.
tropical thank you

As for me,  I get to curl up on one of the round beds.  But at night, I curl up right beside my Mom in the Big Bed. She says I’m the bestest  snuggler of them all.  That’s because it’s part of my job of being a Good Boy!  I hope you have a grrrrrreat week with lots of treats!

Daffodil Celebration Card

What could be a more wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or even a 100th Challenge than with a Daffodil celebration card? It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

Daffodil Celebration Card

For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by our 100th Challenge. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured.  Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project.  I used celebration, gold,  patterned papers and a punch to create this celebratory card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

Daffodil Celebration Card
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The title of today’s post could be “Daffodil Sale-A-Bration Card”.  Yep! This gorgeous paper is from the Daffodil Afternoon collection of paper, available with a $50 order (before tax and shipping).  It’s definitely one of my favorites, as is the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set, which is the source of the sentiment I used. This amazing sentiment set has a total of 15 sentiments, all in this modern upbeat font!

Daffodil Celebration Card

This is one of those cards where the paper does the work for you.  Just a few embellishments are all that are needed.  I used Pale Papaya Genial Gems and a bow.  Although it doesn’t show up well in the picture, the butterfly has been generously “shimmered” with Wink of Stella.
