Wow…it's finally Friday! This has seemed to be the L O N G E S T week and now to top it off, I have a cold…actually I feel like a bowling ball (my head) that can't stop coughing! My head feels like it is going to detach!!!
The good news is…I can only get better…the blog thing can only get better…and it can't get any better with having FREE shipping, but remember today is your last day!
Remember that with the products that are being retired…they are on a 1st come basis and there are already some that have been sold out…here is the most up to date list!
By now, you know that I usually make my cards with a specific purpose…and this card today is just that – this is the card that I will be sending to say "thanks" to those of you that ordered from me this week!
Can you say…SIMPLE…can you say…CLEAN….Can you say….LET'S GET TO IT!
- You know me….my "go-to" notecard and envelope size…love-love-love – would not be without!
- To the simple touch a scrap piece of white paper 3 1/2" long and 2 " wide and ran it through the Big Shot with the Scallops Textured Embossing Folder.
TIP ALERT….take this piece and place it where you want it to go and then take a pencil and draw a line across the top….then take away so you know where to stamp the sentiment!
- Pulling out the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and using the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set….this simple sentiment does the trick…erase your pencil line!
- Now you can go back and adhere the embossed piece to the front of the card!
- Again, using scraps – stamp the flower image from the Flower Shop Stamp Set with Daffodil Delight…a quick punch with the Pansy Punch is all that is needed!
TIP ALERT…use the bone folder or a pencil to roll the egdes of the flowers…always loosens up the fibers in the paper and creates great movement!
- I took a simple white button and the treaded a piece of whisper white twine…a simple bow…a useful glue dot….DONE! I did put a stampin dimensional on the back of the flower!
OH NO…I have already taken my pictures and I just noticed…I forgot my "Silly Susan Dots"…
- The envelope was lined with the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (snif-snif…I'll miss this) but the dots just make you smile!
I just love the freshness of this card…the white is so crisp and clean and then the yellow and black is so classic and fun! I hope that you CASE this one as it's fast to make and very sweet!
If you do not like to add "bulk" to your card with the button, you could easily use a small circle punch and just use paper!
This just might be a card for Breast Cancer next month and I will change up the sentiment!
Remember that today is the last day for the free shipping offer and the BLOG CANDY from me for every order in a $25.00 increment!
I will announce the winner on Sunday morning (with not feeling great – I will probably go to bed early and I know that many of you on the West Coast will be up much later)…so just to be fair if someone orders late as I will already have my blog post typed up…..thanks for understanding and GOOD LUCK!
One of my "peeps" is coming home for the weekend so I am determined to feel better! I am excited to see him since he was unable to come home for Easter…(I have those cute chocolate bunnies that I made one the table) He will like them…I like to look at them…he likes to eat them!!!
Thanks for popping by today and I hope that leaving a comment works today! By the end of the day yesterday – there were comments that came through! I thank you for your patience during this frustrating time but we're getting there….and together we can accomplish lots!!!
Remember…if you want to purchase any of these items…use the new handy pictures below – they will go right into the cart on my online store…it is so easy and then you can also add additional products that I have not highlighted on today's post!
You all are the best…have a great day…and until tomorrow!
Poor you ! Take it easy this week end and enjoy your “Special Peep”.
Cute and clean card …so simple and easy !
I guess I have to get some of those Note Cards while Free Shipping is on it`s last day ! They really are a bargain ! Oh and get some of those Cool Touch Kleenex …they are the BEST !
Good Morning Susan!!! Yeah, it is so nice to have you back with my coffee. So your peep is coming home and my two peeps are going there for the weekend, (Quincy). Ha. Ha. Boy will it be an empty house! Glad the sisters are traveling together. I’ve been hording my polka dot DSP, better check and see if any is still available. My last order is going in today. Feel better and have a great weekend. A cup of tea always makes me feel better. 🙂
So sorry you are sick! I hope you get better quickly! Hugs! {{{{Susan}}}}
As usual, your card makes me happy! You are good at cheerful cards! And I’m so glad the blog is working again! Yay for that!
Enjoy your peep!
Cyberhugs
I love all your tips and cards.TFS
I wanted to leave you a tip when my son has a bad cough we put Vick’s chest rub on the bottom of his feet with socks(stains whatever it comes into contact with otherwise)He says it really helps and We noticed that we is not coughing as much. Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon.
Lovely card Susan. Thanks for sharing and feel better soon! Stamper hugs to you!
So sorry you are sick! Feel better soon.
I absolutely love this amazing card! I will definitely have to CASE!
Silly Susan dots? Do tell!
Dear Susan, I am so sorry you are sick. You need John to take care of you. You took care of him for a long time. Get Better. Your card is so adorable. Enjoy your Peep. Your children are so lucky to have you as their Mom. Maybe your peep will make you feel better.
Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Love this card! This yellow is so bright and cheery – it has to make you feel a little better just looking at it. That reminds me, I can’t wait until my little flower punch from the bundle comes – it seems like it has been on back order for eons. This card would look cute in a little mini card too. Just gotta love that! Sure hope you feel better fast – no fun feeling like a bowling ball unless you are actually bowling and getting strikes. I think I am more into gutter balls myself! Anyway, I am still not getting your blog via E-mail. Eat one of those chocolate rascals for me. Are they still in your stores? Tell John to keep us in the loop on the chickens with some photos when you get them!
I love CAS cards and I love this card. The dry embossing adds just the right touch and the yellow makes it so cheery. Glad your blog is up and running. Thanks for sharing.
