Who says you can’t have your dessert first? As my Grandmother got older she would tell me to enjoy dessert first cuz that is the best part of the meal. So Today I decided to Share a Milkshake before running down for lunch. Each Wednesday I bring a quick card to you while you enjoy your lunch.

I made this cute little gift bag to use as a Valentines Treat box. I grabbed a 6″ x 6″ and scored one side at: 1-1/2″, 2-3/4″, 4-1/4″. 5-1/2″ . On the other side I scored at 1-1/4″. I cut up to this 1-/14″ score to make four tabs- this is the bottom of your box. Place adhesive on the 1/2″ tab then add adhesive to the bottom flaps.

This week’s Hump Day Lunch Break features and adorable set Taco Fiesta, from the January to April 2023 Mini Catalog. This cards is a bit of a hybrid, it is a fun fold and a gift card (or secret note) holder. Watch the video below to see how we made this card! all the products I used are also listed below.
This is such a fun stamp set especially if you love to color. I go back and forth with that, but when I use my Stampin’ Blends, coloring is soooo easy. You could easily use Markers, Watercolor pencils and a Blender pen instead. I normally don’t use the little faces on my images- but I just could not resist with this set. This was a set designed by Erica Cerwin to celebrate her 1 million dollars in sales. She has inspired me so much over the years so I knew I had to have this set!

Hello and Happy Wednesday. Its a bit chilly and snowy here in Wisconsin so I have a little comfort food for lunch today- Mac and Cheese. It’s not something I indulge in to often but it was yummy, carbs and all!

This thought popped in my head today and I decided to run with it. No, we are not making wedding cards…but could.

On to the card…that I was inspired to make. The card base is Coastal Cabana (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored a 4-1/4″. I added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the card base. I started with the Oceanfront Stamp Set and used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede to create the background on a 5″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I then used the images from the At the Pond set to add the Cattails in with Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Inks. I used the grass and speckle image from the Oceanfront stamp set to continue making my landscape. I then adhered the Basic White cardstock to the card front.
Now the fun part. On a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the Frog image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then used Granny Apple Green I stamped the “solid” image shape of the frog over the detailed image. Next, I stamped the Detailed Log image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I used the solid image from the stamp set and stamped off the Soft Suede ink before I stamped over the detailed image. And finally I stamped the Dragonfly using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and a Blender. I fussy cut out all three images, added dimensionals and adhere to the card front.
To finish off the card, I stamped a phrase from the Sending Support Sale–bration stamp set and placed Faux Sea Glass in clusters of 3 around the card front. So what do you think? Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts. Below the card images are all the supplies I used to make this card.

I decided to continue on with this card design and just swap out my stamp set. I used the Heron Habitat and coordinating Heron Dies. You can purchase the Stamp set and Dies as a bundle and save 10% or you can purchase them individually. Again the supplies used for this card are listed below. Just click on the product image o jump over to my store.

Okay, Okay just one more card- this just cracked me up. I find when I am nervous, anxious or frightened I tend to start joking around and being silly to get me out of that funk. I just thought this was funny, I mean, who else but a frog would want to eat a fly? just sayin. I used the card above for inspiration and then just switched out my stamp set. I used the At the Pond and Sending Support Stamp sets. The outside sentiment reads: Courage is being really scared and doing it anyway. The inside sentiment is YOU’VE GOT THIS. A little Wink of Stella on the Frog and Flowers, Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon and Dimensionals make this card pop.
