Dapper News

Hi there!  It's warming up around here - mostly in the 40's now that the furnace has been fixed!  Lol  It would cycle intermittently and usually not at night.  When it stopped, we had to flip the switch off and on to get it cycling again.  Another part was replaced so it's all good now! 

Sharing another card made this past weekend using the Dapper Dad set from Stampin' Up!  The Vanilla cardstock was cut down the middle about an inch, then folded back to make the shirt collar.  The bow tie image was stamped in Marina Mist and cut out.  A sentiment from Big News was added at the neckline.  A three-fourths inch circle punch was used for the buttons.  The strip of Soft Suede cardstock at the bottom (which sort of resembles a belt without a buckle) was embossed with the Argyle embossing folder.

That's it!  Need to run errands and work on some things that didn't get finished yesterday with the furnace man here all morning.  Thank you for coming by today!

Dapper Argyle

Hi there!  A real quick post to share one of the cards I made this past weekend.  Cold and snow equate to a good time to stamp!  This set by Stampin' Up! called Dapper Dad is a retired set.  I've always liked this set.  Fortunately for me, another Demonstrator was selling a bunch of her retired stamps and this set needed to reside on the shelf in my home.  Lol  The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday, which is a current set.  Another retired item is the Night and Day Designer Series Paper.  (Trying to use up some retired paper.)  My brother-in-law will be the recipient of this card since his birthday is Thursday.

Maritime Traveler

Hi there!  Today's card is one of the make n takes from our New Catalog Open House that Mary Taylor and I hosted on May 31.  The ship image is from the Traveler set, which can be found in Stampin' Up!s new 2014-15 Annual Catalog.  (See below for other images that are in this set.)  The strip of Designer Series Paper is Maritime and the background panel was textured with the Argyle embossing folder.  My sample was totally CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) from Sally Nusbaum's card.

Must run - our granddaughter spent the night.  Thank you for visiting today!
