Scenic Cards with Grassy Grove and the New Horizons Suite of Products

The New Horizons designer series paper (DSP), On the Horizon and Horizon dies will only be available while supplies last from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, which ends on June 30, 2022. I've loved this paper and wanted to teach some techniques using it as well as the On the Horizon and Grassy Grove bundles. Grassy Grove bundle has carried over to the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, but the other items are retiring.

 

The first is a more simple card CASED by Sherry Roth. The stamping and blending in the background really helps the tag to stand out.

• 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Basic White thick cardstock; scored in landscape at 4 1/4"
• 4 1/4" X 2 1/4" Misty Moonlight cardstock, die cut largest Tailor Made Tag die
• 2" X 2 3/5"Basic White cardstock, die cut largest fence die from Horizon dies

The next card features more of the Grassy Grove stamp set and Grove dies and shows a Triple Fold fun fold with a see through card front. CASED by Becky Hahn, who was inspired by Terri Gaines.

This year celebrates my 10th year with Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator, and I've made some wonderful friends, gotten to share what I love to do, and stretched my wings to try new ways of sharing.

Flying through April

March and April were so full of things that I needed to get done and helping my husband work on his shop that we were finally able to get built. I ended up canceling the local in person class to focus on things at home. 

The winds we normally get in March actually showed up in April, and there have been few days without blowing sands in the high winds.

April 23rd was my scheduled Stampin' Up! OnTour event. There was a lot of sharing of ideas using many of the new products in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, as well as networking with other Demonstrators. Part of this online event was a virtual card swap using new or current products. A gift for  registering for the event was a ree stamp set (chosen randomly by Stampin' Up!). I received Bottled Happiness. Here's the swap I made.

My husband is very happy to see his shop come together after many years of waiting and of preparing. Here's some pictures of what we've done. 

We wanted to insulate it due to cold winters here.

We had to rent a Sky Jack to run electrical and install lights because the ceiling is so tall.

With all of my husband's tools, benches, and shelves, it is filling up fast. We still need to get things out of one more shed to put in the shop. Then he can start organizing.

We also got a small wooden shed to put the electrical breaker box and air compressor in that is outside of the shop. It really cuts down on the noise inside. Yes, I am aware that he didn't line up the vents in the doors, and I've explained how this pains my OCD.

I appreciate the patience with me for taking a little time off for my home and family.
