Get ready for 2 days of fun…(well I hope that you like the posts as much as I do…) Today I will be showcasing a super fun and festive card for the most adorable 85 year old women that you had ever met!
Her daughter, Connie is probably the best "pick me up person I have ever met" and she is the best daughter to her Mom! I received an email from her yesterday asking if I would send her Mom a card as on Sunday she is having her to her home and "showering her with 85 Birthday Cards"
Now…please stop back tomorrow as tomorrow I will show you part #2 to Mrs. Eddy's Birthday goodies that I sent to her! It's super cute and I know that it will bring a smile to her beautiful face! I am "conserving" as I am using something from today that will be in tomorrow post!
Let's get to it!
It will all come together tomorrow when you see "part #2" but for today – how about this super fun, clean, crisp card!
The Birthday Cake Stamp Set is the center stage of this card and it's a single stamp that is only available in "wood mount" and it is a must have! For $8.95 – how can you go wrong!
Using our super great Stampin' Markers in the colors of Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Island Indigo, the magic happened! Simply color the stamp as you would like….give the stamp a good "huff of stampin' love" and presto!
Adding just a simple yet fun bling, the Brights Candy Dots seemed to be a natural fit for this card! These are the best! When I first saw them I noticed that you could use "brads" with them…so naturally I bought a bunch of brads….and I have yet to use them! I love the look without anythink else – what do you think?
This is a short post as once you see tomorrow's – it will make sense as to why I did this card!
The envelope was a cinch and super easy! Remember…..many times I pick the paper of the liner first when I sit down to make a card…and then work my card around the liner I chose! This is exactly what I did today!
The paper is from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper and it is nothing short than just clean FUN! I have said this before and here you go again…polka dots make me smile…! Fun, FUN colors!
Please pop back for part #2 to Mrs. Eddy's Birthday gift from John and I! She is a total hoot and trust me, if you are lucky enough to have a "Connie" in your life…you are one lucky and blessed person!
To me, she is one in a million and even though we do not get to see each other often….when we do – watch out….there's lot's of laughter!
Today is November 1st and you know what that means!!!! Time for a new "Best Of" Stamp set….this is a keeper one, The Best of Snow. Isn't is adorable! You betcha that this gem is coming to my home…remember when you buy 6 of the "Best Of's" you can get one free….click here to see the collection!
I can see some adorable water-coloring cards coming from this stamp set! Woot-woot! Remember that these are only available for a limited time….hit my shop now button and have fun!
Until tomorrow!
Good Morning Susan and Happy November. Where did October go? This card is so bright and happy. Love the crispness of it and the layout. Have a great day. 🙂
Now why didn’t I think of that. What a cute card. I will be CASEing this for sure.
Your card is bright and cheerful and fun! I like the idea of getting the colors from the liner paper! Sometimes I pick the DSP I want to use first, and other times I pick the colors I want and go looking for patterned paper.
Thanks for sharing the new “Best of Snow” (SU does like puns, don’t they!) images! I have the hedgehog stamp in the original set. It is so cute!!!
Happy Birthday to your friend!
Love the bright and cheery card! A great use for the top note die which a lot of us have neglected! The use of the candy dots on there is just the perfect touch! Looking forward for part II! Love the new monthly stamp set – I am getting ready to place my order and I gotta have that too!
Susan, This card is so adorable. This lady is going to be so thrilled. 85 is a very special number. and 85 birthday cards is so sweet.
Your card is really sweet. I love the colors and the simple joy of this card. I can not wait to see tomorrow.
Happy Stamping, Ellen Hinds
So glad to hear that someone else feels the same…that calendar just ZOOMS!
Cute card! Love reading your posts and I can’t wait to see what goes with it tomorrow. 🙂
