Plan B for today’s post and many of you will laugh….as I was going to share with you some bunny fun….but the human bunnies over the weekend ate and/or took my stash when they left! I wish you would have seen my face as I was excited to stuff my goodies….and only to find (4) small Reese’s Eggs! Oh well…to the store I go!
Here is a super card for those “hard to send cards” that we need to send from time to time. This sentiment is from the super Stamp Set called, Sending Thoughts. This is the stamp set that I am using for my April kit. ( the offering for that will be out soon if there are any spots left)
I truly feel that it is important to have a great stamp set like this in out stash as face it, in life we need to send cards out for all different reasons and this one is so unique.
Breaking this card down, it is easy – actually it is super easy but it has such a meaningful message. This is the type of card that you send and when people look at it they say – WOW…..how did you do that.
We both know the secret….it’s all about the basics…the key tools that will make your products shine!
Now you might be wondering where those tone on tone dots came from – LOOK BELOW…..this is a fantastic set and I have blog sooooo many times over this catalog year with this stamp set….you see – having several stamps that truly GO THE MILE makes crafting so easy and also so rewarding!
This card is FILLED with keepers…..did you see the stitched framelits? Yep, another keeper….a must have in your stash. You all love when I do my dashes and dots with a white gel pen~ well this is kind of the same thing – timeless and FUN!
This weekend I will be attending the Richmond On Stage Event that the NEW catalog will be unveiled….and you better bet that I am hoping that Stampin’ Up! is keeping the DSP Paper Stacks – YES ….I do use them often as I think they are a perfect go to but at the same time I realize that they are expensive.
I will be offering them in an upcoming product share (if they are carried over, fingers and toes crossed) and if I were you – I would HOP ON IT as it gives you a taste of all collections to then see if you want to make the investment in a whole pack!
So there you go…a little sunshine for your Thursday! I will go to the store and re-stock on some yummies so you can see my bunnies tomorrow…..heck- while I am there I will pick up some peppermint patties…..YUM – I adore dark chocolate!
Now go have a GREAT day and bring some sunshine to someone…it will be a win-win for both of you!
Spectacular card Susan!!! A simple, elegant card with a great statement. Just hope no one needs it! CAN NOT WAIT for tomorrow and the beginning of my first On Stage event!
GOOD morning Susan, I Really love your card. I really need to case it….I love the Sunburst Thinlet . I’m anxious to see the new catalog but I have to wait awhile since I’m only a customer.lol… Have a great time this weekend…
Love your card! It gives a warm feeling and would make the recipient smile. Have fun this weekend and maybe you can give us some hints on the new catalog. ?
the perfect boost for someone feeling blue. The rays of sunshine are amazing!
Love the card colors and theme. We all need a little smile in our lives and this seems to fit the bill. Just saying “thinking about you” in a different way. 🙂
Haha Susan…I have a tip to share: if you have goodies or anything you don’t want to be consumed, put a note on it. It is the only fool proof way I have found 🙂
This card would have been perfect for me today. We have had rain and gray skies for 10 days. Today though, we have glorious blue sky and sun! There is quite a bit of wind and it is chilly but hey, I will take it. I was tired of the leaky drip of the roof as well as just cabin fever. Even Ted would brave the rain to go check on the rabbits in the yard and the squirrel the neighbor has trapped. I am not sure why he was checking on the rabbits but once he could catch their scent or see them, he would turn around and go in. He has lunged at them a few times but I asked him what he would do if he caught one – and I would get stone cold silence. Actually, the silence is welcome over his whining and whale sounds as Susan calls them. Anyway, I would just pencil in the words grayness and rain and we would be all set. A bit of whimsy who has been down in the dumps or sick with the types of flu that has been going on for months now. Love the whimsical dots on the rays and the envelope as well as the polka dots on it. Oh Susan, I consumed my peanut butter eggs yesterday when the drips started! Boy, I have not had any peppermint patties for ages.
Gotta love those human bunnies don’t ya! I like your card today, especially the dots on the sun rays. Looking forward to tomorrows post. Have a great weekend too!!!
