‘Sup, y’all!?? Hope your week is going well and that you’re staying safe.
And masked. And socially distanced! We’re seeing spikes in cases, people – time to hunker back down if you’ve de-hunkered!
Just sayin’!
At our awesome Zoom team meeting this past weekend, three of us prepped and led the group in creating a card with the wonderful new Forever Fern bundle. I’ll share Amy and Sue’s cards later this week – mine was (uncharacteristically!) simple – letting some Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper add just the right amount of bling! Take a look-see!
See what I mean?
While I stamped and talked the team thru the card – I could see all their pretty faces looking back at me!
It was so cool to be “together” to stamp and craft and laugh! Yeah ZOOM!!!
This one started with some of the pretty Forever Greenery DSP matted on Soft Sea Foam for the card front.
We embossed a Shaded Spruce panel in the Greenery Embossing Folder, matted it on Soft Sea Foam and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
Then, the pretty floral Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper die cut was adhered with Liquid Glue.
On a seperate piece of Soft Sea Foam, I stamped the sentiment from Forever Fern in Shaded Spruce ink.
I stamped a couple of small leaf images in Soft Sea Foam and a few of the splatter image in stamped-off-once Shaded Spruce. Then I cut the sentiment with the next-to-smallest circle Stitched Shapes Die.
I popped the sentiment onto the gold die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some of the white Elegant Faceted Gems and the card front was done!
Told you it was quick and easy! 😉
On the inside, I added some larger Forever Fern leaves in Shaded Spruce, smaller leaves in Soft Sea Foam, and some splatters in stamped-off-once Shaded Spruce. Then I added more Elegant Faceted Gems!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the Forever Fern leaves and splatters on the front…
…and a little more Forever Greenery DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Wow – I do SO love this Forever Fern bundle with the Forever Flourishing dies that cut out stand-alone leaves as well as stamped leaf images – WHAT A SET!!…
And the two papers in the suite are gorgeous!
Et Voila! I hope you like and have this set on your list! I’ll be bringing you a couple more cards using it as the week goes by – if you don’t want it now…you WILL! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix
Yesterday was Finn’s six-month Wellness check.
At about….8 months! Between the vet and I, we’d pushed it right a couple of times.
Thank you, COVID.
But – this is the “off” check – just checking general health and well-being (and the dreaded scale!) – no shots or blood work. And, since he’s a pretty healthy dude – it seemed like the right thing to do!
As always – he was very very happy to go and see his friends at the clinic. And they really love him there.
And, y’all – he is SO stinkin’ good! The new protocol is that owners can go into the exam room as long as they’re wearing a mask, but the tech takes the patient to the back for the exam.
Finn went with her with not so much as a backwards glance.
I got this, Mom!
Then he comes back in with this giant grin and wiggler wagging.
And plops down next to me to see what’s going to happen next.
He likes their cool floor, I think!
But – he’s always interested as soon as the little knock at the door comes…
Come on in, Dr. Chris! We’re ready for you! 🙂
You’ll be glad to know that, except for what appears to be some developing arthritis in his left hand, he’s hale, hearty and healthy!

Oh, my, goodness…Finn is too young for arthritis…he’s only going to be 3 today, isn’t he? I had intended to send him a birthday card but you know all about good intentions. I’m linking my blog tomorrow to this post and I’m sure you can guess why so I’m not saying anything about your card 🙂 other than I loved it!
LOL! Thanks so much, Karen! No – he’s FOUR on the 17th! So…still younger than I’d like him to be to be developing arthritis. But…it is what it is, I guess! 🙁
I hadn’t ordered the gold laser cut paper so am keeping the instructions for this beautiful card until I do!
Glad Finnman got a good report but kinda worried about the developing arthritis. Not at his young age! Are there meds for that?!
I know – I wasn’t happy to hear that, either. I’ve started him on Cosequin (shhh – he thinks it’s a treat!) so we’ll see if that helps any! 🙁 Thanks so much, Susan! 🙂
Enjoyed stamping “with” you on Sunday!! 🙂 Such a pretty card. Yay for a healthy dog who loves the vet…a rare combination in puppies. 🙂
I know – we’re so lucky with him in so many ways! Thanks, Amy – it was a great meeting and I really hope we do those again!! 🙂
Finn is such a brave guy. Both my dogs shake like crazy when we go to the vet.
Beautiful card! Love the Forever gold dsp.
Yea – he loves the folks at the vet, for sure! Buck was more like your kids – not even sort of happy to be there. Thanks so much, Gerri! 🙂
1. Love this card. Even your “simple” cards pack lots of details and design “punch”.
2. Can’t wait to see the other cards from your Zoom meeting–this is one of my favorite suites in the new catalog.
3. So happy Finn is tip-top aside from arthritis. He is such a beautiful soul, inside and out! Glad it was a Finn Fan Fix day today. I needed a smile!
Glad to help you with smile, Linda! Thanks very much! 🙂
