WOWZERS….the last day of the month! YIKES….it's official – half of the year is gone! Today is the last day that you can take advantage of the $50.00 Rental Car that Stampin' Up! is offering…so if you are on the fence and need a step ladder to get over, email me and I will call you! (I only work 1/2 days on Mondays) – it truly is a great opportunity if you remotely think that you are going to order $50.00 or more of product!
Today is OUR FUN DAY TOGETHER….it is Make it Mine….a time for YOU! I was soooo over the top happy with how many sent me pictures, great comments and super sweet emails on how you enjoyed Saturdays post! It is a keeper and one to "keep up your sleeve"!!!
Here is today's sketch and I know that you are going to have fun with it!…Very easy but so versatile!
Super straight forward but I encourage you to think out of the box! I have a confession….I had this card in my head and I visualized it to be a vertical card and when I cut everything and started to put it all together…YIKES – it did not fit…but no worries – I just turned it to open to the side!
Let's get to it and please give it a try….I know that you will come up with some winners!
- The Base is Whisper White 5 1/2' wide X 4 1/4" high….isn't the DSP amazing….it is called Back to Black and this is 3" X 5 1/2" and then I matted this with Strawberry Slush at 3 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Grabbing a piece of scraps, I stamped the great sentiment from the Stamp Set…Really Good Greetings – and this is a really good stamp set! After I snipped it to a banner, I matted it and snipped it one more time!
- The "star" of today is the Star Framelits and the Eclectic Paper Piercing Pack….remember – a simple technique that creates an instant WOW~
I must admit…I was very skeptical about paper piercing as I simply did not think it was for me….but I gave it a try and I will say that I think this simple effect still gives you a clean and simple end result! Have you tried it before? If not, give it a "poke"!
- Envelope and then we are DONE! Since I made a 3" cut for the card….I had more than enough to do the back flap without making another cut…this paper is 12" X 12"…so fun!
You know me by now….I make my cards for a purpose and this card is finding its way to my daughter – Hannah as it is her "up and down" She is having a fabulous summer doing a biology internship that is fulfilling her to the max and John and I are so proud of her!
Being our "Red Caboose" on the train…it is great to see her so happy and fulfilled! I know that this card will brighten her week as she has been working so hard!
Please give this a try today…I know that you are going to come up with some inspiration to the MAX! Remember, if you want to order anything from the Ribbon and Paper Share….tomorrow at NOON Eastern I will be placing my order! Click here to see the post and offerings!
Tomorrow is July 1st and that is a MAGICAL day for you if you have been waiting to order the BLENDABILITES….you can order a select amount tomorrow and if you are a SU Demonstrator, you can order ALL of them as the remainders will be available tomorrow….so GET OFF THAT FENCE….and be able to order them at 30% off!
Email me….I would love to explain the SIMPLE "in's and out's"…of this clean and simple journey I am on!
Until tomorrow…..
How much fun is this card ? And I am so glad you reminded me to pull out my new Star Framelits and do some piercing . I hesitate to do that poking ,but after I do I am so pleased . This is a cute card and I will try this sketch cause it`s fun ! And also Yay for Hannah !! What exciting life adventures she has ahead !
Oh, I have a perfect idea for this card. I’ll give it a try and see if it works and send you a pic. 🙂
Love this, Susan! Your card for Hannah is a real “eye catcher” … love the Back to Black DSP and Strawberry Slush combo, too. Thank you for this fun idea!
What a stunning card, Susan!
Love the pierced stars! The color combo is yummy too.
Thank you Susan for continuing the MIM series. I really love it. I was so excited last week when one of my customers (one of very few mind you :-)) sent me her Make it Mine project inspired by the one that I did. Wow, what a fun feeling knowing that you have inspired someone to create. That is what you do for me. I’ve added the link to my creation this week. Thank you again for the inspiration.
