May your glass always be half full....

I love this.  I am one of those people who always likes to find the best in things and also always try to understand both sides of any issue but keep up beat as much as possible.  That is one of the reasons I love this stamp set so much.  Ad of course I love wine too--so that helps! 😁

Today's card uses the same set as my last post but in a little different way.  I mixed the wine glass  with some of the new Share What You Love Specialty paper..which by the way is amazing paper.  My favorite ever!  Thick and stunning.



Isn't this a fun card?  I love the mix.  I used  an older I spy sketch for the layout.  I love sketch challenges and have not had much time to play along with them lately.  But I do pin the ones I love and look back--when I remember!  😉






Here are the supplies used on this card--in case you want to recreate it yourself.

A card for my wine business partners....

Just making up some cards for my friends and team mates in my wine  business!  This card is specifically for a friend who joined the club but not my team (yet).  The cool thing is  if you join the club and get two friends to join your wine is FREE!  Sounds crazy, but it it is true.  This friend is a red wine lover so she chose to have all reds delivered to her home each month! You can get half and half or all white or all red.

Anyway, back to the card.  I had  so much fun coloring these images with my stampin  blends.  I just love these fun markers.  So worth every penny!  I love that there are so many new colors in this catalog!



Don't you think this is a fun card?  Couldn't be much easier (unless  that was designer paper--that would be crazy easy)


I hope my  friend enjoys it.  Want to make it yourself?  Here are the supplies used.  Product List

Create your own designer paper when you have none that matches the ink colors you are using.

Well, my little break was a bit longer than expected!  Long crazy story that I won't bore you with.  Just know that I am back and ready  to jump into the brand new catalog!  It is amazing!  Have you seen it yet?


you can view it HERE

Unfortunately I have not placed my first order yet but I am ready to now!  I played a bit today and wanted to use the new in colors--they are awesome.  Not only are the colors beautiful, but the new design of the pads are fabulous too!  So easy to open and use.  Love them!


And look how nice the new pads stack--they take up much less room than before.


During the pre-order period that demonstrators get I ordered the pads in the new in colors--but neglected  to order the card stock and any matching designer series paper.  But I was  not going to let that stop me from playing around a bit!  I chose to use the Grapefruit Grove and Pineapple Punch colors to create a card. And since I did  not have matching paper I chose to make  my own.   It worked out pretty well--but I can't wait to order the card stock  and some designer papers.

I chose to use the Colorful Season Stamp Set as it had a few different image that I could make a background with.  I used the flower images to create the background paper  and just used the edge of the pad to create the strip on the right side.  A little bit of  black marker on the edges brought it all together......


This set has some fabulous images for all seasons.  Not to mention it has matching dies too!



Can you just see all the possibilities with this one?  It is a great set and dies.   Here is the rest of the supplies used.

Take Two Tuesday Week 11

Hey all!  Sorry this is late--the card was ready this morning but I just didn't have the time to get the post done.  But I knew you guys would be patient, lol.



As I said yesterday the Sprinkles of Life stamp set had not seen enough love so I am using it again today for my Take Two Tuesday post.  This time I am using the cloud and rain drops.  I had some fun with the retired sunburst die--I can't make a card with a rain front without making the sun shine on the inside--ya know what I mean??

So here are both cards together.   can't remember the name of the flower stamp and I don't believe the sentiment is from the same set.  Do you know the set names??  it has been a long day and my brain is just not working right now--I will update the post when I recall the name or one of you lovely friends lets me know the name!




This card needs a more close up picture to see how well the colors work together!


The color combo is Basic Gray,  Smokey  Slate, Pool Party and Whisper White.
Here is the inside--too bad this die is retired--this is the first time I took it out of the package--WHAT-- I know--crazy, right?!  Glad I did--I love it.



So here is the weekly question...
