It's Manic Monday!

It's Manic Monday and time for a CAS card. This is so easy it should be illegal. I used the Tart and Tangy stamp set ... one of my summer go-to sets.

The cardstock is Bashful Blue and the DSP is in Old Olive. I stamped the apple in olive and punched out varying circles and scallops, I popped it with a Stampin' Dimensional and added the ribbon at the seam. The greeting is not SU but is soooo appropriate. The front says, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" and the inside says, "an onion a day should take care of everyone else." Then I stamped Get Well Soon from Sincere Salutations.

That's it! I didn't post yesterday due to server issues. ERG! But hopefully that won't happen again. I even had trouble for a while this morning with Blogger. Finally, I think it's resolved with both parties.

Take care and have a wonderful, if rainy, day.

Much love and joy,

It's 3-D Friday!

This is so easy! It's a bookmark on a Popsicle stick. I took the stamp set Tart and Tangy, for which I still had matching DSP (do I overconsume or WHAT??) The colors are Real Red, Old Olive and Soft Sky.

Here's what it looks like with the book mark out.

I used the Slit Punch, various circle punches and the Scallop Circle punch. I finished it off with Old Olive 5/8 inch grosgrain ribbon. How fun is this? It's so simple you can make a bunch in one afternoon for favors or gift ideas.

Ryan's back yard sanctuary is going well. We weeded his raised horticultural beds last night and he watered them. He was thrilled that his green beans were blooming and his tomatoes had little green fruit on them. We picked a few onions and he's so proud to be contributing. I'll have his raised beds on my other blog today if you want to check them out. We can stand and garden. With his CP that's crucial for him. Not so bad for my decrepit bones either!

Have a great day and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

Much love and joy,

It's Manic Monday!

So naturally I have a CAS card for all of you!

This one uses Real Red card stock topped with a printed window sheet from Clearly Thanks (#115122). I covered the adhesive with the Whisper White tafetta ribbon (#109070). The strawberry stamp is from Tart and Tangy (#111514). I colored with with Real Red and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write markers, huffed on the stamp and laid it down on WW card stock.

I punched it out with the 1 1/2 inch square punch (#104400) and then matted it by punching a 1 3/8 inch square (#103375) in Always Artichoke. I used a pop up glue dot to adhere it and it was finito!

Strawberries are in season here and they've been so sweetly amazing. I'm thinking about making some jam. It's tastes so summery and scrumptious in January and is such a great gift item. I'll pull my recipe today and figure out if it's something I feel like doing. The whole house smells like strawberries when I make jam. hmmm. Now I might have to!!

Have a wonderful week! We're off to the game reserve this morning, Ryan works there.

Take care of you and see you tomorrow,

Much love and joy,
