Goldfish in a Jar

Remember when you won a gold fish at the fair.
Then sent it home in a plastic bag — you had to
be careful all the way home.  When you got home
you had to find something to put it in until you
could get to the store to buy a fish bowl.

Today’s card made me think of all those
fair gold fish.

We used the Jar of Love stamp set and
the Seaside embossing folder for this
fabulous card.

Gift of Love

This year Stampin’ Up! has some AWESOME
Hostess Only Stamp Sets.
Today’s card features one of the sets — remember
you can only purchase the stamp set when you host
a private class, party/workshop or have you own
book party.  This stamp set is Gift of Love.
It’s a three step stamp — that means you
stamp three times to get the completed image.
Here you stamp the flower outline with
Tip Top Taupe ink, next is Island Indigo
for the flowers and last is Mint Macaron
for the leaves.  Isn’t is beautiful.
