Many of them return a second night a month for my Chick & Chocolate classes  It is a pleasure to have them in my home and I frequently let them know that they are so appreciated.  Recently I saw this on line and knew it was just thing to do for my ladies. Tucked inside are 2 Hershey nuggets.  My Big Shot made this easy!

Stamps:  Itty Bitty Banners
Card stock:  Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
Ink pad:  Early Espresso
other: Labels framelits,  Bitty Banners framelits, Magnetic Platform (new -  really keeps those framelits in place!); Square Lattice embossing folder, Standard platform; Autumn Accents Bigz die; Big Shot, standard cutting pads; Fancy Flower punch; Simply Scored, Simply Scored Diagonal plate

HAVE YOU WASHI'D TODAY?

Washi Tape -- what a fun product to work with.  It's colorful, cuttable, tear-able, repositionable, portable, inexpensive. And Washi Tapes from Stampin' Up! come in their exclusive colors and coordinate beautifully with other products of the same color line. What's not to love!

Sparkling effects are easy to achieve with our no-mess Dazzling Details glitter-glue.

Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray.  A yummy color combo even the guys will gobble up.

Images from the "Best of Birthdays" set were stamped, then colored in using Stampin' Write markers.

What will you Washi?

Happy stampin'

WALK IN THE WILD

Allergies and a sinus infection have really slowed me down; but I wanted to make a card for Father's Day for my husband. Periodically I ask my husband to go through my catalog and tell me stamps sets he would like for us to have in the craft room.  "Walk in the Wild" is one of those new this year.  I like the simple layout and masculine colors and textures of my card; but as I look at it again now it seems to lack something, maybe an Antique Brad.  Well, Lou was quite pleased with it just as is, and isn't that what really matters.

other supplies:  Gumball Green, Whisper White, Early Espresso card stock; Epic Day Designer Series Paper; 7/8" Cotton and Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbons; Early Espresso stamp pad; Gumball Green Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry markers; dimensionals

Hint: Create the grassy background using Versamrk pad and "Inspried by Nature" (retired), or draw the random lines freehand using a Sahara Sand marker. Use both ends to create both thick and thin blades.

Happy Monday!  Happy Stampin'
Trish

Flashback Friday:

In just a few hours, my husband and I will be attending a celebration honoring a dear friend and his family, who is retiring from the Military after 30 years of faithful service. To thank them for their dedication and sacrifce, I dug out one of my retired stamp sets, "The Free and The Brave" to make this card. Fitting, yes?

Card base is Night of Navy card stock.  To create depth, I stamped on Whisper White card stock multiple layers of stars in retired colors of Bashful Blue, Bordering Blue, and Not Quite Navy, as well as the current icolor Night of Navy.  Eagle is stamped in Basic Black, highlighted with retired Watercolor Pencils; mat and sponging are done in Real Red. Pop the mat up on Stampin' Dimensionals. Add  a personal message inside and it is good to go!

Wishing you a safe weekend.  Be sure to thank every military member you encounter for their service and sacrifice.  It means so much to them.  Happy stamping!
