It happened…again – POWER went out last night! This is getting just too darn funny as this has never (guess you should never say never) but out the door John and I went and to my Dad’s. Good thing that Daisy Mae had a couple days of “piggy rest”…back to duty she goes!
Let’s get to the card for today…well by now you know that I make my cards for a purpose and this card was a “Thank You” to a sweet lady that belongs to the Country Club I work at as she made John and I some soup and the best loaf of Blueberry Bread when we were out of power last week!
This is very straight forward and over the weekend I had a HUGE date with my label maker as I like to put the item #’s on my punches as it makes it easier for me when I am creating a blog post. I labeled the Scalloped Edge Border Punch and thought…”I have not used this is a while” …so out it comes for you today!
Please click here to see the Tuesday Weekly deals…and guess what – this punch is on it! (now that's what I call luck as I had no idea when I made this card…woot-woot!)
- The card base is a regular A-2 Card in Whisper White and the stamp is from the hostess collection and the clear mount is just $9.00! (please email me and ask me how you can earn this for free!)
It is a great basic stamp and I can see many fun and simple cards made with it! I love it's name…"Let Your Hair Down" I think many of these images would be super het embossed!
- The All Abloom DSP is the POP of the card! As you can see in the below photo…it is a must have! My fingers and toes are crossed that Stampin’ Up! is going to have more of these Paper Stacks with the new Holiday Catalog! The width of this is 2”
- Pulling out some Strawberry Slush Scraps…I punched this adorable and simple border! I do not know what I forget about this gem…but every time I use it – I love it! The added “white dots” from the white gel pen gave it a bit of interest!
- I wanted to added a bit of extra femininity so I thought a simple flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack was the perfect choice…(this is another MUST HAVE) this little flower has been punched out soooo many times since the new catalog came out! A simple Brights Candy Dot was the finale!
- Because the print of the paper is so busy, I thought just a fun and classic liner was in store…so easy-peasy…the In Color DSP to the rescue!
That’s it for today! I am sooooo hoping that the power comes back on but we are to have another storm late today! (It’s a good thing that my Dad lives close to my work)…and John will do the “morning” animal duty!
I have had many of you email me if I was going to Convention…my lip is hanging down like a toddler, but I am not. I am sad as I just adore being with the PALS and taking everything in that Stampin’ Up! does. This is a big weekend for me at work and I cannot get off work…(trust me – it’s killin’ me) but I know that the PALS will keep us posted as to what is going on!
Thanks for popping by today and have a super-duper day! I am smiling and being positive that we will be back on with power!
p.s. – I had to share with you this cartoon that was sent my way by Julie H….it is so cute! Daisy had to get a bath yesterday…she found a nice BIG spot of MUD after I dumped the horses water!
Until tomorrow….you all are THE BEST!
Awwww I am sorry about your power! This is a cute cute card and I am sure it will be received with delight . Love that paper stack also . So many pretties in it ! And thanks for the cute cartoon . It goes with your description of your piggy !
Such a Susan card! Very pretty. The colors are so soft. Definitely a keeper. 🙂
Hope you hadn’t stocked your fridge and freezer back up after the last storm! Pretty card. 🙂
Great card!
You might want to think about investing in a generator.
Gorgeous card!!! You gave me an idea on how to label punches. I keep them in plastic bag they come in so annoying! What kind of punch do you use to label them???
We didn’t…pretty slim pickins!!!
Now this made me TOTALLY laugh! John called last week for an estimate….”take a number” – HOT ITEM!
I use a “P Touch” Label Maker….you can get them at Office Stores…probably Walmart to. I WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT ONE! Great investment and it also makes a great gift for the person that has everything! I highly recommend it!
I’m so sorry to hear about the power. Again. We’ve lost power too here in NJ, 5 or 6 times in the last 2 days, but only for a couple of minutes at a time. Just long enough to mess up the computers and to start cooking by flashlight! I feel very lucky.
The card is great, so simple and such cards of yours inspired me to get the abloom stack (specifically the so saffron one with the celebrate banner on it – I love that card). I participated in the paper and ribbon share and today lined my first two envelopes – one inside and one out. They look awesome! Thank you so much for both the share opportunity and the inspiration.
