A Little Pie Never Hurt

Hi there!  Been busy working on projects that I can't share.....yet.  The little 3x3 note card above is one that I can share!  Each of my customers received this note card in their bag as a small token of my appreciation for their October order.  The background paper is the retired Autumn Spice DSP.   (can you say paper hoarder)  The "pie plate" is a 1-3/4" circle punched from Pool Party.  The scallop circle is punched from Vanilla with edges inked in Crumb Cake.  The filling is Pumpkin Pie, of course!  Cut out a slice and that's it.  For the sentiment, I used the Tiny Tags stamp set and punched it out with the Word Window punch - then fed it through the back of the punch to shorten it.  Mmmm, makes me hungry for pumpkin pie! 

Must run to finish up some things for tonight.  Tomorrow I'll be in the kitchen cooking for a family get-together on Saturday.  Thanks for coming by today!

Happy Anniversary!

Hi there!  Today I want to post (belatedly) a card received from my good friend and upline, Pam D'Urso.  This beautiful card acknowledged my third Stampin' Up! anniversary on May 9.  Yeah, me!  I've been having a blast and can't believe it's been three years already!
Pam used strips made from the Triple Layer Doily Punch (retiring the end of this month!) to achieve the lace look.  So pretty!  The Tiny Tags set was used with the coordinating punch for the dangling sentiment.
.

Here is the inside of the card.

How cute is this!  The little cupcakes are from the Create a Cupcake set.  Love how the cupcakes pop up. Thanks, Pam, for the beautiful card and for your thoughtfulness! 
I received other cards from my Stampin' peeps that will have to be posted when there's more time.  Sorry girls.  I loved all of my cards!
OK, must run to finish doing some necessary household chores.  We have our monthly Pieces of Heart team meeting tonight.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!  And Pam will be there!  She doesn't attend all of our meetings now that she lives three hours away.  Next month we have a weekend retreat stamping at her new home!  Fun, fun, fun!  So looking forward to that!   These are just some of the reasons I love SU!

Have a great day and thanks for coming by!

Sunflower

Hi there!  Stopping in real quick to post another card!  So without further adieu,  here it is:

I have had this stamp for quite some time now, but never had a chance to use it until Wednesday.  First I inked up the stamp with a Real Red ink pad, then sponged on Pumpkin Pie. The Pumpkin Pie muted the Real Red so that it works with the Cajun Craze mat.  It was an easy card, which is always good.

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:
Stamps: Sunflower, Tiny Tags
Ink: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze (for tag)
Other: Medium Jewelry Tag punch, linen thread
Card stock:
Peach Parfait card base = 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
Cajun Craze = 3-3/4" x 5"
Very Vanilla focal piece = 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"

Thanks for checking in today!  Have a great day.
