A Fish & a Wish

Posted on by

The A Fish & A Wish stamp set (158993) is one of those you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again for those difficult cards that we need from time to time. The sold watercolor images make stamping them quick and simple too. Add the punch and you’ve got quick and easy options.

Check out these two cards made with the A Fish & A Wish Bundle (159001) that is found on page 70 of the Annual Catalog. This first card is done in neutrals and has a belly band.

Texture was not only added with the Hive 3D (157955) and Timber 3D Embossing Folders (156406) but also with the Linen Thread (104199) and Natural Finish 7/8″ Texture Ribbon (159051).

And this next card is done in the bold colors Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, and Blackberry Bliss.

The shinny pop of color comes from the Glossy Dots Assortment (158827).

So what do you think? You’ll find all kinds of ways to use this bundle so why not stop by my Online store and check it out today?

Christmas Barn

Posted on by

Rolling hills, Blue Spruce, the Lake front, beer battered fish fries, Lannon stone, and red barns. These are all things that remind me of the area I grew up in. I recently returned from my High School Class Reunion and didn’t realize I’d forgotten beautiful it was in Wisconsin. I hadn’t been back home for 27 years, so it was a lot of fun catching with my brother and friends. It also reminded me as to why I enjoy the crash of the waves on the beach and the rolling hills of North Georgia so much. So today I thought I’d share some cards with you that make me think of my childhood.

These first two cards use the Christmas Barn Bundle (159747) from the Mini Catalog found on page 28.

These big majestic barns dot the landscape still and hark back to those memories of Thanksgiving at my Uncle Rodger’s house. He was a dairy farmer and that barn wasn’t far from the house. Of course, the dairy cows set the schedule for life and meals back then for many families.

This next fun fold card uses the Brewed For YOU (159087) stamp set found on page 83 of the Annual Catalog. It also has a set of coordinating dies that can be purchased in a money saving bundle giving you a lot of crafting options. With all the craft breweries popping up here in my area the past years, it’s sure to be a hit.

Prost! (that’s German for cheers) Food always goes hand in hand with local taverns for me that are dotted across the country side, especially the Friday night fish fries with beer batter! Funny the things we remember from childhood, isn’t it?

Here is a picture of my Great Grandfather Roecker’s farm. So many of the old family homes are gone now that I remember from my childhood, but it was a lovely fall day to drive around the country roads with my brother.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards using the Hope & Prayer stamp set from the Annual Catalog.

Trimming the Tree

Posted on by

The holidays bring back memories of trudging thru the snow to choose just the right tree from our field. I helped plant those blue spruce seedlings one by one with my father as a young child, stomping on the ground after he poured the water and dirt back around the seedling. That was many years ago and those acres of seedlings are now a forest; unfortunately he didn’t live to see his dream of selling trees for the holidays. But every year as the tree goes up in our home I think of that time we spent together and how much I loved being his helper.

The Trimming the Tree stamp set brings back a flood of memories with it lovely evergreen image.

Such a simple image that evokes years of holidays memories. This card done in Garden Green and Real Red has a simplistic majesty to it.

And did you know that the Trimming the Tree stamp set has a set of coordinating dies that you can get during the Perfect Partners promotion in September? But it separately or buy it in a bundle the choice is yours.

Create lovely cards for the holiday season with the Trimming the Tree Bundle (162522) of products.

If you want to see all 6 sets of dies that are included in this special September promotion stop by my Online store today.

Gathered Wheat & More

Posted on by

With the cooler mornings and the hay rolls dotting the fields I think of the fall harvest. So today I’m sharing some lovely cards with you made with sets from our Mini Catalog for the fall. My first swap card that I’m sharing with you uses the Gathered Wheat stamp set (159841) from page 51 of the Mini.

This stamp set not only has a coordinating die set (159842) it also contains some wonderful sentiments that can be used for different occasions.

These next two cards use the Hello Harvest Bundle (159644) from page 50 of the Mini. This first card is a fun easel fold and uses Stampin’ Blends to add color to the images.

And this next fun fold card teams up the die with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (159847) and Stitched Greenery Die (155451). Don’t you love how all our products work together?

The beautiful gold foil pumpkin has an embossed design that is built into the die and it picks up the foiling from the Festive Foils Specialty (159536) paper. Beautiful, right? And this final card is another fun fold.

This card uses the Good Feelings stamp set (158737) and the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913)

So simple, but a bright and cheerful thank you card.

Feeling a bit more like fall? Well ready or not here it comes, this year fall equinox falls on Thursday the 22nd.
