Woot-woot….it's Monday and I love Monday as it brings me "joy" that many of you like and enjoy participating "with yourself" in challenging yourself with these challenges!
You know me by now…I try to make cards for a purpose and this week I have several birthdays…this card today is for on of the "Iguana's"….(that is a group of gals that went on a GREAT trip and we names ourselves this)…and I know that she will love it – especially with a bunch of cupcakes! This is her last year before the big 50!
Here is the challenge and I was scratching my head trying to figure this out! This is one that looks a bunch better in person than the photos show! I think that this is a super fun stamp set and I love the name – Peace, Love & Cupcakes! I have used these stamps "singly" on cards but not all together but I think it is cute!
I wanted to try to limit myself to using only 2 colors (I don't know why but I thought it would be fun) and the colors today I used were Blushing Bride and Lost Lagoon. Let's get going!
- The white squares are a 2" square and then the Lost lagoon are just 1/8" larger! You know me on this one and I know many of you take a deep sigh and say no-way….but out came the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement…it is not only a life saver for me – but a friend!
- A quick POP UP with Stampin Dimensionals gave interest to a somewhat "plain" card.
- I did use the image that was in the sketch – I tried to use a flower but it just did not work! So…why not – we have a Star Framelits and why not?!?! I thought a simple stitch with the white gel pen was the perfect touch.
- We have the BEST Bakers Twine – I took a piece and "tripled" it up and made a simple bow and using a simple glue dot was all that was needed!
- Not much left but the envelope! I did stamp the "Happy Birthday" sentiment across the front of the envelope and the outside of the envelope was jazzed up with the In Color Designer Series Paper Stack!
Well…can you give this sketch a try? I would LOVE to see what you come up with as I was "scratching my head" but I think it worked out just fine! This is for my dear friend Sabina!
She will smile and then laugh when she sees it as she loves "peace signs" and this is right up her alley! I have 4 Birthdays this week! I feel bad sharing with you so many but then I thought – we all have Birthday so why not!!!
I can't wait to see what you come up with …..and I can't wait for my pre-order to come today!!!! That deserves a HUGE Woot-Woot!
I will be getting my catalogs and I will be mailing them out to my customers on Tuesday! Get ready to get a cup of coffee…by the end of the week and you will be oober excited! If you are not currently working with a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator…I would love to work with you…..
Please email me and I will be glad to send you a catalog….have a fabulous Monday and until tomorrow!
Very cute! I would have a hard time using that stamp set as it isn’t “me.” Your card is great! It’s funny, the stamp set isn’t “me,” but if I got that card, it would make me smile.
Have a nice week!
Cyberhugs!!!
Adorable and fun card. I love Blushing Bride and Lost Lagoon together. One of my FAVE’s. Thanks for sharing with us!
Bridget, It’s funny, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I bought that stamp set because I liked the cupcake and the heart. I guess now I like the entire thing!! Thanks Susan for your constant inspiration!!
I’m a little late this week. I’m betting that the challenge doesn’t really have a due date or expire:-) Thanks Susan!
