Pendant Park Vintage

Good Morning,

I'm frantic for time today so will make this a quick one. The card uses Crumb Cake cardstock spritzed with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz, then run through the Big Shot using the lattice embossing folder. The I mounted Elegant Soiree DSP onto Soft Suede cardstock for the main body of the card and dropped down the word hello from Pendant Park on a wavy label square of Baja Breeze. I used the die cut from the word window for the little suede outline you see on it.

The ribbon is Crumb Cake taffeta, Victoria lace, Very Vanilla Taffeta and Suede grosgrain. The brad is from Antique brads. I can see I'll have to order more of those. I'm going through them like crazy.

I have a huge preorder coming with all the newest accessories. I LOVE accessories!

Have a great day,

Much love and joy,

Pendant Park Hello

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd get to stamp yesterday, then life intervened. I had it on the agenda for today but life is tickling my side, wanting attention, so we'll see what happens.

Here's another Pendant Park card.

Cardstock is Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, More Mustard and Very Vanilla. Ink is Old Olive and Choc Chip. I used More Mustard Brads on the tree. I used the Word Window punch to cut out the word hello, and cut the squirrels off the bench to put on each side of the greeting. I used the Modern Label punch to mat the greeting in mustard and then used the Movers and Shapers to mat that one in Bashful blue. 

Kind of a whimsical card. Hope your summer is as delightfully filled with outside activities as mine seems to be this year. With my new hip I'm a party animal!! (read that, I actually exit the house!)

Take care

Much love and joy,  

Happy Retirement Card

Hi everyone,
It is absolutely gorgeous today. After a rather rainy, humid, buggy start to the month today is outstanding. It's almost 9 a.m. and the temp is only about 78 degrees. It's sunny, birds are chirping and the wind is NNW at about 10 for a great cool breeze. It'll climb to about 85 today but our dewpoint is so low it is a PERFECT July day! Now that you have the northern Wisconsin weather report ....

Here's a retirement card I made for a friend using Pendant Park stamp set. I hope she gets the whole freedom thing instead of being put out to pasture (or the park!) I used Crumb Cake and Naturals Ivory for this card. I also used a tiny dip of Chocolate Chip for the mat on the greeting. The inks were Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. I cut out the park bench with squirrels and popped it with glue dots.

I stamped the greeting from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes (a must have in my opinion) and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch. The mat was created by using the Movers and Shapers Big Shot die. I finished it off with More Mustard Brads.

We went to the fair yesterday and it was brutally hot. I'm thinking we should have waiting until today! Ah well. What's done is done. Maybe I sweated off a few pounds, ya think?

Take care and have a great day!
Much love and joy,
