I say HIP…HIP HOORAY for many reasons!
Today John and I are probably on a plane going to see Will for his 30th Birthday….my oldest is turning 30 and the family is going to celebrate. Hannah’s flight get in about 30 minutes after us (which we are thankful for as it is GREAT to have a “young one that is tech savvy” to help her dear parents figure out driving in the city!)
Next….I think that this is a fabulous stamp set….I know that I blogged about it before and I am sure that you have seen many posts using it …WHY DO I LOVE IT???…..the font – it is classic and just so fun with the watercolor splash behind it – brilliant move Stampin’ Up! as it is a sentiment that can be used for many cards we make!
Lastly, I love that I am using the Whisper White Note-cards! True, you could easily adapt this to a regular A-2 card but I just think that these are the BEST bang for your buck! 20 Cards and 20 Envelopes for just $6.00 – YEP, works for me! 🙂
I just love blues and yellows together, how about you? I think that we all have our “go to favorites” and I just seem to like this color combination. So Saffron is BY FAR my favorite yellow that we have as it is a color that works with Bright and Bold colors but then you can pair it with something completely different and it is super soothing.
I just have to share with you the measurements as I think that this is one of those cards that you are going to want to case! It is super simple yet it has an impact that gravitates you to making it!
Naturally you can change up the colors etc…and I will say – this is one for the masses as what a sweet card to keep on hand, “just in case”
- The white piece that I stamped the sentiment on is 3 5/8″ X 2 1/2″ stamping in Pacific Point
- The So Saffron Mat it s “smidge” larger, 3 3/4″ X 2 5/8″
- The fun Polka Dot is 1″ wide and then matted in So Saffron that is 1 1/4″
- I “lifted up” the sentiment part to make is POP!!!
Here is the picture for the future…..PIN away but please do not forget that this stamp set, along with all of the other SAB Items are only available with an order of $50.00 and just through March 31st!
I have to tell you, as a Demonstrator I get equally as giddy as you all do with this time of the year! The home office always does a fantastic job of picking “keepers” to get us through the long winter months!
Enjoy your day today! WOW – the East Coast is have some AMAZING weather and YEP, I’ll take it. I admit, it was like an act of God to try to leave for 2 days with my 4 legged friends….
Our AMAZING dog…horse….pig…donkey and oh yes – house sitter moved away and I miss her so…actually for many reasons – a super young lady! We have called in the troops and have our bases covered – there are people that are great with dogs….but know nothing about horses and vice-versa but we have all of the bases covered and are ready to have FUN with the peeps!
I will see you tomorrow – I am a girl scout and I am prepared for you all over the weekend! We will be “mixing up” a storm!
Love your card. Your colors are so classic. Have a great time with your family!
Thanks…I know that you are also a big so saffron fan….to me t is always an instant smile maker?
Good Morning Susan! WOW, you do have a great weekend to travel. I am so, so happy for you. Happy Birthday to Will, too.

You are sooooo funny. This is a great sentiment and I was doing the happy dance with it.

It is great to be together with the peeps.
Yup, Blue and yellow do it for me too! GREAT card that I can’t wait to CASE! Have a wonderful time this weekend! As for storms, at least someone is “mixing up” a storm! I miss winter!!!! I know, I am in the minority here but really!!! ?
Ok. I thought we knew each other better. Winter…..yuck!!?
I will take sunshine any day ? I hope you make this card! It is a fun set.
Love the card. Have a great time with your family.?
Thanks Helen- I am happy that you pooped in!!!

Agree….it is super fun to play with the color!
This layout is a keeper. Will definitely CASE it. Enjoy you family weekend.
Please do…. to me,that is the best form of a compliment….I hope that you make this!!!
Super crisp card! I love polka dots and the blue and yellow combination! Happy Birthday Will!!! Enjoy your family time. ?????
Yippee…..another polka dot fan…to me it is an instant smile maker…..happy maker!!!!
Once again, you prove simple can be stunning. You also must be part of the conspiracy that is leading me toward this stamp set! I keep seeing simple yet impactful cards with this set.
You made me smile. Try it ….simple works and I think that many times we overthink it because it is so simple!!!!
Love Pacific Point ! Plus throw in some polka dots and you have added So Saffron to the recipe ….well I have to say it is the first Reverse Words stamp example that I really like !! This set is okay ,but not on my list .
You made it fun !
Have a wonderful time this weekend !!
I agree with you -pacific point is a great “true” color that I think does not get blogged about as much as it deserves.
It always looks stunning with yellow.
About the only color combination I like better than blue and yellow would be black and yellow! The Pacific Point is amazing here. I still wonder why I have not picked up on this color until recently. The polka dots just make it that much more fun! Add a swooshy splotch and I am all over this. It reminds me of kindergarten where we played with the finger paints. I was all about the swipe of a splotch of color – usually green and then write my name in it. I couldn’t get Christine usually on the paper so I went with my last name of HIGH which was much easier. Then I would add a little squiggle or a flower in a corner. Darn, I wish my mom would have kept one of those. Speaking of note cards, I wonder if SU will come out with very vanilla ones in the annual catalog?
Have a great time this weekend. Hopefully nobody picks up any more germs on the planes. Enough of the sick already!
Oh my…. when you said about finger painting…wow – what great memories. Isnlt it funny how back then we have no worries and fears about creating?
As the saying goes…..those were the days ?
I love this card….now I want this set. It wasn’t on my list before, but your card is definitely makes me want to choose it. Have fun celebrating with your family !
If you have the chance….this would be one I would snatch up one. It is so simple yet has a great impact!!!!
Love this cute card, Susan. Those colors and all the white are so crisp and perfect. I, too, love the notecards for lots of different kinds of cards. I used a lot of them for my Christmas cards last year. Seeing your great card today is making me take a second look at these stamps and the happy statement they make. Have a wonderful trip and celebration. Happy Birthday to Will!
I am glad that there is another note card fan out there. They are super heavy and wow – the best bang for your buck!
We are having a fantastic time!
A simple WOW!!! Great card and “formula”. Have a wonderful trip!! Happy Birthday Will!!! Time flies….Andrew turns 30 this spring and it doesn’t seem possible that our little soccer/lacrosse players are turning 30! How can we have 30 year old kids?!!
