Sailing Home Card

I just read a little saying on Facebook called "Beware the Menopause Fairy".  It is about her stealing you figure, your mood, your sleep and how she eats at your brain leaving you with nothing but a lousy moustache, a muffin top, hot flushes, a dodgy memory, etc.  Well she sure was talking about me.  Especially the dodgy memory.  I was going to get up and start on my blog first thing this morning.  It is now 10:30 (I got up at 6:30) and I just now remembered about it.  And thus starts the week!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The temps here in Texas have been over 100 and today it is suppose to reach 104.  Thank God I am able to stay inside.  Bless all the people who have outside jobs, my son-in-law being one of them.  I don't know how they do it.

My video last night was using the Sailing Home Stamp Set.  For this week and the prior week I did a #simplestamping card which is using nothing more than paper and the stamps.  There are no dies, punches, ribbon or any other embellishments on the card.  I found this card on Pinterest and it was posted by Joyce Whitman.  A big thank you to her for posting this wonderful card.

Once you have the measurement for this card, you can use different stamp sets and see what wonderful cards you can come up with.  Below are some samples of different cards I made using the same layout.  Here are the measurements and cardstock colors for the card in the video. 

You can go to delightfulfun.stampinup.net to find items used and many other items in our catalog.
