Stampin’ Up! CAS Night Divine Handcrafted Elements Christmas Card

Good morning and happy Sunday!  Did you remember to turn your clocks – microwaves – cable boxes – CAR RADIOS?! – back!? Or are you in the school that just leaves some of the too-hard-to-change clocks on one time all year?  I may or may not leave the truck alone – I can’t actually remember how to do it so….  🤷‍♀️ Why, oh why, can’t we just leave the time alone??

We’re almost at the end of our retreat – dang it! 😢 It’s been so much fun – we’re already making plans for next year!  Which means…there’s still time for you to establish your Critter-dom status! 😎😎😎

Since y’all missed out on the 8-Saturdays-till-Christmas video last night (sorry – not sorry!) – I decided to do a Christmas card for you today – AND I even made a short video on how to make it.  I’m a giver that way. 🙄 This one features the fun stand-alone Handcrafted Elements dies – with supporting roles from Night DivineJoy of Noel and Christmas Classics.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! CAS Stars at Night Divine Christmas Card with Video Tutorial

Good morning!  I hope you’re having a great weekend!  The baby shower yesterday was very nice – everyone had a great time!  My desserts were a hit and – most critically! – I re-found a maple recipe that had been a favorite a few “events” back.  I thought I’d used a “maple” recipe – and had NOT been able to find it to re-create it.  It turns out – I had MODIFIED a recipe – without annotating the mods.  I have remedied that! To quote a famous literary figure – “As God is my Witness, I will NEVER lose that recipe again!”  Okay – maybe not a DIRECT quote… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

My card today is one that may surprise you.  Not cuz it’s all that surprising in and of itself – but because it came from ME!!  I used the Night Divine and Stars at Night Bundles to make a clean, simple and GORGEOUS Christmas card – one that’s perfect for making multiples!  Take a look-see:

I’ve got a clean and simple card for you today.

You okay?  Did you fall off your chair?!  Did you feel the earth shift on its axis?  MARY made a CAS card?!? 😳😳😳

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Marvelous Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all!  It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table.  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

For me, the colors in our challenge this week demanded that I use the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ DSP.  Which was not a hardship at all – it’s one of my favorite packs of paper!  I decided to pair it up with the pretty Marvelous Nature stamp set.  Take a look-see!

Stampin’ Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

Good morning and welcome back to the work week.  And – the FIRST DAY of AUGUST!  What in the world?!?  How is it possible that the year is going so fast?  AND Sale-A-Bration?  Yep – we’re already half-way thru!  Yikes!

I saw a cool sketch at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and my brain informed me that the right way to go was with the Cottage Wreaths bundle.  So…I did!  Take a look-see:

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

And here’s the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

And I used the color palette from the Color Throwdown challenge this week.

I started by embossing a Crumb Cake panel in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and then I adhered it to the front of my Crumb Cake card base with Liquid Glue.

I cut three Very Vanilla squares using the next-to-largest Stylish Shapes die.

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the wreath from the Cottage Wreaths set three times in Balmy Blue.  I stamped each wreath with the twig image in Crumb Cake – and cut them all out with the coordinating die in the Country Wreaths die set.

I adhered the three die cut wreaths to the three Very Vanilla squares with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the top and bottom wreaths to the card front.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the middle wreath on.

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

I used the little leaves dies – there are four of them! – in Country Wreaths to cut out four Balmy Blue leaves and then adhered them to the bottom corner of the middle wreath with Liquid Glue.

I tied a simple bow with two lengths of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

On a piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the Cottage Wreaths sentiment in Balmy Blue and cut it out with the smallest little banner die from Stylish Shapes.

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

I used double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment over the bow, added a few Very Vanilla dots from the Classic Matte Dots pack – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the Cottage Wreaths wreath in stamped-off-once Balmy Blue in the middle of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the sentiment in the center in full-strength Balmy Blue – and added another Very Vanilla Classic Matte Dot.

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Balmy Blue mat and into the Crumb Cake card base and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the wreath – and a sentiment! – in Balmy Blue on the front…

Stampin' Up! Country Cottage Wreaths CAS Thank You Card

…and I used the little leaves stamp from Cottage Wreaths to stamp all over the envelope flap in Balmy Blue!

Et Voila!  I love the Cottage Wreath Bundle – the stamped images are gorgeous and the coordinating Country Wreaths dies make it so easy to cut them out – as well as other foliage for your projects!  And – what do you think of it in soft blues and creams!?  I sort of love it!

Finn Fan Fix 

We’re now officially Ooni Pizza Oven Snobs!

Oh my goodness, y’all!  We really liked our pizzas BEFORE – in the oven in the kitchen.

They took forever, though – even at 500F!

But NOW?!?  WOW!  This Ooni Karu is….AMAZEBALLS!

The men put it together yesterday morning…

Then we did the 30 min seasoning at full temp!

I put dough on in the morning and…we fired it up for dinner!

Pizza #1 – Ready to launch!

It was so cool to watch!  I even took a video – and yes, I sound like a goofus.  But….

And the results?!?

Perfection!  Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.  Perfect!

They were SOOO much better than the ones from the oven – I didn’t think it would be THAT much different but…it sure is!

Only one problem that I could see.

I wanted to eat ALL of BOTH pizzas.

I didn’t.

But – I WANTED to for sure!!
