Hello and welcome to another episode of Diane is running behind again. Seriously! I had my July Customer Thank you cards ready to go a little while ago, but just managed to drop them off at the Post Office. Rest assured, I've already started on the August Thank You's and here's hoping that they make it to the Post Office before November. Sheesh! This thank you card might look a bit familiar. That's because I took the idea from the mini … [Read more...] about July Thank You’s
July-December Catalog
Harvest Meadow
Happy Fri-Yay! I'm particularly happy this Friday since we are heading into a long weekend here in the US. It's always fabulous having an extra day off work. Today I'm sharing a project using one of our Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes. I love these little boxes for gift giving. The decoration for this box is all attached to the wrap around the outside of the box. This allows the person to open the box without ripping apart the pretty … [Read more...] about Harvest Meadow
Penguin Place
One of the cutest bundles in the July-December Catalog is the Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating punch. The stamp set comes with two different penguins and a bunch of accessories to add on. For today's card, I went with simple for the pumpkin and background. That adorable pine tree paper is FREE since it's one of the Sale-a-bration items you can get with a $50 purchase (pre-tax/shipping). The giant iridescent snowflake doilie really … [Read more...] about Penguin Place
Hey, Boo
I promise I won't get carried away with Halloween quite this early, but I had one more treat holder to share. On Monday, I shared the little 3x3" pouches. Today, I'm sharing those fabulous Tombstone Treat boxes in the July-December Catalog. These boxes are pretty good size (3.5 x 5 x 1.25"). Definitely bigger than I thought they would be. I just love the little ghost from the Cute Halloween stamp set and used him on this box as well. The … [Read more...] about Hey, Boo
Treat Yourself
If you've been in a retail store in the last couple of weeks, you probably noticed Fall and Halloween decor have hit the shelves. Did you know there are only 69 more days until Halloween? I know, it sounds like that is so far away. But, it really isn't. Just think about how quickly 2021 has flown by already. And since it's Monday and I thought we could all do with a treat today, today's project is a small 3x3" treat holder. It holds candy, … [Read more...] about Treat Yourself
Delicate Dahlias
One of my favorite stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. I think Dahlia flowers are so gorgeous in real life. The Dahlia stamp is a pretty good representation of the actual flower. For today's card, I colored it in using our alcohol markers, the Stampin Blends. I colored two of the flowers in the Pale Papaya light and dark Blends and added in a touch of Flirty Flamingo. For the top flower, I used Flirty … [Read more...] about Delicate Dahlias
It’s A Party
Even though it's Monday, we're going to kick off the week with a party. This cute sheep stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday. Not your birthday? That's ok, we'll just pretend. Today's sheep is kicking up her heels and has her party hat all ready to go. And just in case you didn't notice her out standing in her field, she's waving flags to catch your attention. Ha! There are a number of great items in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. This … [Read more...] about It’s A Party
And the Olympics Are Over
This Wednesday I shared my Gold Medal Ribbon winning Sheep (you can see that post here). I hear Fence Jumping has some serious competition and the practices are rigorous. It seems the judges tend to fall asleep as they count the sheep jumping over the fence. Ha! Okay, sorry, lame joke. After reading the post, my Mom suggested I should make one more Olympic themed card in honor of the end of the Olympics. Well, I loved her idea. … [Read more...] about And the Olympics Are Over
