Daisy Lane Class Sneak Preview

Do you like daisies?  I do!  I absolutely love them and I am so happy Stampin'Up! included a daisy stamp set in their 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  It's called Daisy Lane and is paired with a small daisy punch.  In addition, Stampin'Up!'s Daisy Delight stamp set and large daisy punch are included in the current catalog from last year.  Together, let your imagination and ideas flow.  The possibilities are limitless!


I am holding a Daisy Lane Class this upcoming weekend for my sister's Red Hat Group and the following cards will be featured using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Medium Daisy Punch from the 2019-2020 Stampin'Up! Annual Catalog..

This lovely card was made using the Daisy Lane stamp set, Medium Daisy Punch, Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock, Night of Navy stamp pad, retired Designer Series Paper, Snail Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals and miscellaneous vellum leaves from an old Paper Pumpkin Kit. My sister, Jackie, and I corroborated on the design of this card.  We were both happy with the result.  (All items sold by Stampin' Up!.)

December 2019 Paper Pumpkin Cards and Alternate Cards

Since I was traveling in December, I did not purchase the December 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit. BUT my sister, Jackie, did.  She shared her creations with me and I thought I would share them with you!


The following cards were made following the instructions included in the kit.










And, the next great cards were the Alternate Cards she created with the supplies included in the December Paper Pumpkin Kit.







I hope you have enjoyed these great cards.

I received a fantastic surprise from my best friend, Diana.  She sent me the December Paper Pumpkin Kit!  Isn't that great?  I'll be working on it the next few days and update this post with my own Alternate Creations. 


Take care, stay healthy and come back soon.

Oh My Gosh, Has It Been THAT Long?

I am truly sorry for the gap in-between posts, but life does happen.  My hubby and I took a couple of weeks off and went to visit our daughter and her family.  We had a great!  Enjoyed a super Christmas Eve dinner with our Son-In-Law's family.  Heck after 27 years, they are our family, too!


Christmas was fun all around.  Our youngest granddaughter spent the summer with us while she interned at an office on base.  While here she overheard Grandpa and I talking about some bowls we had been looking for.  Well, she is a Computer Science major and she put her skills to work and found the bowls we were looking for, and guess what, they were under the Christmas tree for us.  What a special surprise.


But all good things must come to an end.  Our oldest granddaughter came down with that wicked flu that is going around, then our son-in-law and my hubby soon followed.  Our daughter came down with it the day before we left to come home AND, you guessed it, yours truly came down with it on the way home.  I've been laid up for a couple of weeks and recently started feeling like stamping again.


NOW I am ready to get started again.  All my creative juices are flowing strong and I hope you enjoy the creations I, my sister and my best friend have come up with recently.  Keep coming back each day to see them all.


Take care and I certainly hope and pray that flu bug does not come to visit you!
