Country Livin' Father's Day card....

Hi All
Today I just want to say Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband. He has been a great dad to both of our sons as well as to all our fur babies. For today's card I broke out Stampin' Up's watercolor paper, Tranquil Tide new 2017-2019 In Color ink and Stampin' Up's Country Livin' stamp set. I also used Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment. I used Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz inks on the card as well as a bit of glue from the fine tip glue pen to make the windows look like glass that may not show up in the picture. I distressed the edge of the watercolor paper with Crumb Cake ink on a sponge. I chose burlap ribbon tied up with a tiny bit of the new copper trim. That copper trim is like ribbon but it can be shaped it's awesome. To finish the card I took two of the white perfect accent enamel dots and with a copper sharpie I colored them to match the copper ribbon. I have a confession the card base was to be just plain Tranquil Tide card stock but I accidentally set the corner of it in the Early Espresso ink pad I used for the sentiment so I just sent the rest of the edges in the ink pad and then I added a mat of Early Espresso cardstock to tie it all together. I think it came out great and my husband love it too. I'll have a list at the end of this update so all you have to do is click on the picture of the item you like and it will take you right to my online 24/7 webstore. I'd love to earn your business so please let me know if you have any questions or problems or just want a new 2017 catalog that just came out on June 1st. Just leave me a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I am entering this card in the "Let's Hear it for the boys" the TGIF C112 challenge. I love that group of designers. To see the others you can go to www. tgifchallenges.blogspot.com. I can't lie I don't enter the challenges always but when I do I hope that I win.

Well that's it for today. If your dad is still around give him a hug or a call and let him know that you love him. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. Take care and until next time Happy Stampin'.

Happy Easter.......

Hi All,
I hope you all had a blessed Easter. My family was able to attend our church and then we were able to have Easter Dinner together with my brother, his wife, her family and their grandchildren too. It was very pleasant here in Buckeye Arizona at about 80 degrees which meant you could actually wear your Easter dress and not freeze as we did in Idaho Falls the past 22+ years. It was also nice to be able to celebrate the Risen Lord with our youngest son too. That has not been the case in over 10 years. Here's the card I made for those family and friends who we could not be with yesterday. I used the Stampin' Up Penned and Painted stamp set. This is a 3 step stamp set making this card a super quick and easy card to make. I chose the Suite Sentiments stamp set for the greeting. I chose Whisper White cardstock for both layers of the card. I first stamped the images in Archival Black. I then used Melon Mambo, Pear Pizazz and Daffodil Delight for the inks to color the flowers and leaves. To get the outline on the entire card layer I just free handed it with a Project life journaling pen. To get the two tone effect on the flowers and leaves I stamped off the first layer of color which is the 2nd stamp in the set that you use. Then for the 3rd stamp I used full strength color. For the flower center and the speckles on the card I chose to use my Gold Wink of Stella pen. I'll have a list of products I used for the card listed below so all you have to do is click on the picture and the link will take you right to my online web store. Both of the stamp sets and the Gold Wink of Stella pen are retiring will be replaced with something else in June. I am looking forward to all the new Stampin' Up products but I will miss a lot of my favorite products.

Speaking of retiring products Stampin' Up! has released their 2017 retiring products list you can find the entire list of products at www.skybowcreations.stampinup.net which takes you to my Stampin' Up! page and you will need to choose the "shop now" button from the top tool bar then once you are at my web store you will choose from the left menu list Retiring Products and that will take you to the shopping list where you will be able to see all of the products. These products are up to 50% off but they are only available while supplies last so if there is something that you want don't wait get it today!!!!

I have another quick project to share with you. I made the tags for my grand niece and nephews for Easter and now that they have them I wanted to share them with all of my blog followers and family.

I used several old and current punches as well as the stitched circle framelits to make the cute little tags for the bubble bottles. Of course as expected they didn't care about the tags they just wanted the bubbles to play with. It was fun to see them enjoying this little gift. It reminded me of when my 2 boys and granddaughter were little. It brought back a simpler time in my life. I kinda of miss those days.

Well that's it for today. Thanks for taking time to stop by my little corner of the web. Take care and until next time. Happy Stampin'

Jars of Love thank you....

Hi All,
Today I'm on my way to Stampin' Up's bi-annual OnStage event it's a time for all of us Independent Demonstrators to get together and spend time doing what we love and sharing what we love with others. It's also a time to get to see all the new Stampin' Up products. Stampin' Up as already released to demonstrators a sneak peak of 3 of the new 2017-2019 "In Color" inks and a new suite of products that is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to get my hot little hands on it so I can share it with all of you. Stay tuned for more information on the new products coming soon. So while you wait I want to share with you a lovely thank you card I made recently for a customer. When you order with me no matter the size of your order I always send a thank you card and I love this Jars of Love stamp set and framelit die bundle. I think the best part is that there are 3 different sizes of mason jars and tons of things you can put in those sweet little jars. I wanted to use the current in colors so I choose Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach & Pear Pizzazz for the flowers and greens. I then chose Pool Party for the jar outline and water. To get the water to look lighter than the outline of the jar I simply stamped off on scratch sheet of paper before stamping it on the whisper white. The card base is Peekaboo Peach with a mat of Flirty Flamingo. The sentiment is in crumb cake I've listed all the products I used to create this card so you can just click on a picture and it'll take you right to my 24/7 webstore. Remember if you place an order for less than $150 please use my April Host Rewards code 39DWXKFU. If your order is over $150 then you get the Host rewards to spend. I'd love to earn your business so please contact me if you have questions, need help or want a set of catalogs and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. Take care and until next time Happy Stampin'.
