Birthday Blossoms

This month I need sixteen birthday cards, so while I had the Watercolor Wishes card kit out the other day, I made a couple of these. The cards with the Crushed Curry stripes that are included in the kit are 4" x 4", but I wanted to make a standard A2 size. I cut one of the card bases into two 3" x 4" pieces, stamped the blossoms in Crushed Curry, and used a past Paper Pumpkin stamp set for the greeting.

I love those Paper Pumpkin stamps that come in the kit every month! They are stored in a large SU stamp case, after they are labeled with the month/year and the name of the Paper Pumpkin kit. This month is Paper Pumpkin's fourth birthday! Since I've gotten almost every kit since they started, I'm getting quite a collection.

Subscriptions are available month to month, or in three month, six month, or one year subscriptions. Right now the three month subscription is $4 off, so you'd only pay $55 and that includes shipping! PLUS you would qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration item (but shipping does apply on it). To see what you can get, check out the top two flyers on the left sidebar.

Here's to You, Watercolor Wishes

I'm still working on reducing that box of bits, so today I combined some elements from the box with some elements from the Watercolor Wishes card kit. The base, greeting label, washi tape, and the stamp used are all from the kit. The sponged doily, succulent image, and die-cut ring were all in the box. All I had to do was stamp the greeting and add some gold metallic thread. I think it turned out pretty well!

We are in for some severe weather today, so once I get this posted, I'm shutting down the 'puter and unplugging it. There are lots of counties around here that have cancelled school, or are letting the kids go home early before the rough stuff hits. We have our vehicles parked in the barn, so they're protected from large hail. Of course, the barn will be no protection if we have a tornado here.

Watercolor Wishes

I was in need of a couple of quick cards to tuck in with a little gift I wanted to send my downline. The padded envelopes I bought are about 1/8" too small for regular A2-size cards, so I needed a note card instead. The Watercolor Wishes Kit I bought last year has hardly been used, and I remembered that there were 4" x 4" cards and note cards in it, too. All I had to do was stamp the greeting with the enclosed ink spots, add the Washi tape and self-adhesive banner, adhere the die cuts and sequins, and Ta-Da! Cute and ready to go in a jiffy! Note: This kit is all inclusive, and does include the stamps, unlike some others.

Happy Email Surprises

STAMPS: None! CARDSTOCK: Pre-printed, included in kit INK: Real Red ACCESSORIES: Watercolor Wishes Card Kit (all embellishments included in kit, except for Expressions Natural Elements {Thanks}, and Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim), Fine Tip Glue Pen

Last week I received a happy email from Stampin' Up! informing me of an online order from a lady I had never heard of. I love those kinds of happy surprises!!!

I was delighted and honored that she chose me as her demonstrator (thank you Kim, if you're reading this!), and wanted to send her a thank you with a little sample of product. The Watercolor Wishes Card Kit makes it so easy to send a note of thanks, or birthday wishes, or even just a thinking of you card! I placed the 'thanks' and heart wooden elements face down on the Real Red ink pad and tapped it lightly to ink them up. Helpful hint: If you ink up the wood bits, use a paper towel to blot up as much excess ink as you can from the wood, then dry it thoroughly on the low setting of the Heat Tool. Otherwise, you will end up with ink all ove the place. Don't ask me how I know that.

Watercolor Birthday Wishes

Well, I really lucked out......after my stampin' stuff was sent to Tennessee, my Watercolor Wishes Card Kit was delivered, so I'm not totally bereft of stampy fun. It contains everything I need to whip out a cute card.

Which is a good thing, since I needed to send a card to my friend Dawna for her birthday. I didn't realize until after the fact that it was a huge milestone birthday, or I would have made it a lot more fitting for the occasion.......like stamping fifty candles, or sumpin'.

So, Dawna dear, I hope you had a wonderful celebration that was befitting the occasion! Love you!
