Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts CAS

Good HOT Tuesday morning stamping friends. It’s supposed to hit just about 100 here in NJ today with the real feel of 110. Add the humidity and poor air quality to that and you have an inside crafting day. I did head out for a quick walk early this morning before the heat got too bad.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! Are you getting ready for the weekend? I was finally able to get outside and do some weeding and dead heading to my flowers yesterday. I spent about 5 hours outside and only made a small dent. I decided it was time to call it quits when it was 85 with a real feel of 100, and it was going up to over 90. This morning I’m heading out really early again to do the same in my backyard gardens. It’s supposed to be in the upper 90’s today. Hopefully I won’t be out there as long.

I played with some Online Exclusives for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
