Happy Birthday to You

I love bright, cheery colors — here we have Tempting Turquoise and Lemon Lime Twist.  Aren’t they great!!  This card just makes me smile.  The Happy Birthday Thinlit and the Celebration Thinlits are the main focus here.  The background stamp is from Work of Art — isn’t that sweep off color fun.  Don’t forget the little “to you” in the lower corner — that wonderful script stamp comes from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp.

It’s Summer Splash Time

Yesterday we held our Summer Splash Party!!!  It was a morning filled with fun stamping with a great group of ladies.  They were spread all around the school’s cafeteria (giving everyone enough room to stamp).  Everyone got to make 10 fun, assorted cards to mail covering a lot of their upcoming events .  It was a great morning spent with friends.

Summer Splash Stamping Event When they arrived we passed out these adorable little treat boxes with a surprise inside — chocolate of course.  These little boxes are so fun to make and pretty quick too.  I used the Pocketful of Sunshine Bundle (stamp set & framelit) with Bermuda Bay cardstock.  I added a little flower from the Flower Shop stamp set and punched it out with the coordinating Pansy punch.

Deck the Halls

Deck the Halls — what???  That’s right, another Carols of Christmas stamp set.  This is such a great stamp set that I had to share it again this past week at class.  Don’t you love the background — surprise — it’s the Marbled Background stamp.  It’s one that hides in the catalog and you “fly” right past it but it is so worth the money as many at the class can agree with.  Anyone remember the “old” shaving cream technique from years ago — this background stamp kind of looks like that but it is so much easier to do and NO MESS.
