Welcome to Stamps Well With Others! I hope you will find some inspiration within the pages here. I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, so please contact me at StampsWellWithOthers@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Tomorrow will be a big day around here. My oldest son will be getting married to my future daughter (-in-law) on Saturday, January 6, 2018. They will be getting married at their home in their back yard. The weather looks to be beautiful with the high for the day of 76 and a low of 50. Should be perfect! So, in their home, they have a sliding door going from the kitchen into a little family room. So, when I saw this stamp set come out, it was the first thing I had to purchase!
Recipe: So Saffron - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4" So Saffron - 5 1/4" x 4" Crumb Cake - for barn door Basic Black - for hardware
Stamps: Barn Door Bundle, Bloomin' Love and Floral Phrases Ink: Soft Suede
Inside I used Floral Phrases for the sentiments.
HERE is the trick to this card. You must have these little flat washers. When you go to the hardware store (I recommend ACE Hardware - so much easier to get in and out) ask for - or - look for Size #6. They work perfectly.
Since this card requires some specific directions, I'm going to suggest you watch the Stampin' Up! video from Stampin' Up specifically. If you are reading this from an email, it could be the video won't be visible, so be sure to go directly to my blog or to this link on YouTube. Barn Door Bundle
Thank you for looking in today. Tonight is the Rehearsal Dinner, so there may or may not be a card posted for Saturday morning, but I hope to. If not, there may be pictures from the rehearsal. ~ Donna
Today is a day I've been waiting for! My oldest son found the love of his life and today is her Bridal Lunch and girls weekend. Now, I'm only attending the Lunch, let the young kids enjoy the pools and partying! Danielle is a sweet girl and she makes my son Billy so very happy.

Finally a request for a special card that isn't a Sympathy Card. So nice! One of the gals at the office needs a card for her niece who is getting married this Friday. This was the first thing I thought of . Simple and elegant at the same time.

On Sunday I ended up CASEing myself. Now that's something that probably doesn't happen often. LOL It's been very windy here and I woke up with a headache, so thinking wasn't working well and I knew I wanted to do a card with Floral Boutique and and a little box with the Window Box Thinlits Dies. I'm so happy this little box is carrying over to the Annual Catalog. If you like it and the stamps it goes with, the bundle is NOT carrying over, so be sure to order it before May 31st so you can save 10% on it. Today's card is for a special accomplishment of someone I know. However, since they peek into my blog, I don't want to reveal too much today... so come back tomorrow for a full reveal!
For today though, I can give you the Recipe: Night of Navy - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4" Whisper white 5 1/4" x 4" Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper - 5" x 3 3/4" I stamped from Beautiful You onto another sheet of Floral Boutique DSP and then fussy cut the dress hair and hat and then pieced it onto the same image stamped with Memento Black onto Whisper White. Then I used the largest circle from Stitched Shapes and the largest scallop from Layering Circles in Night of Navy. This is another stamp set that is carrying over to the next Annual Catalog (which I will be able to order from on May 1st! You could too if you sign up to be a Demonstrator.). The "Congratulations" comes from Floral Phrases.
Here is the box from the top view. I added Silver Foil inside each of the cut-outs to keep the inside a little more of a surprise. Since taking the picture below, I've added a piece of ribbon to hold the box closed since it has to make it all the way through the day tomorrow.
If you've ever used liquid glue to attach the Silver Foil, you probably know that it has a tendency to make a mess on the foil, should any of it ooze out. So I decided to avoid that and I used scotch tape to attach the foil. I wanted it to stay permanently, but just didn't want the mess of glue. Do you see a little boo-boo I made and fixed? Let me know by posting below if you figure it out. I'll share it tomorrow with you!
Thank you for looking in today. Here's to another week of fun and adventure! Happy Monday! ~ Donna
