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.

A Little Wild — Just a Note

Today’s card is “Just a Note” to say THANK YOU ALL for your prayers and support for my sister, Tina.  Her back surgery went very well.  She is in the hospital for a couple days yet but she is doing great.  She was up and walking a little bit last night when I was visiting her.

I used the A Little Wild stamp set — so cute.  There is a bear, a lion and an elephant stamps in this set and each animal is double sided — both front and back of animal on one stamp.  Why you ask?  Well, there is a coordinating framelit to cut out each animal set — then you can fold it in half to make a little card tag for a package — or cut it apart and put the animal front on the front of the card and the back of the animal on the inside of the card.  It was so much fun to play with.
