christmas open house: scattered showers

Here is a group of whimsical little cards that are great to encourage someone. There are great little sentiments you can choose from to put on these cards. You will make 8 cards in this set as well as an easy little box to put them in.

Just thought you would like to know the possible sentiments you could use either on the inside or outside of the card:

I hate it when you're sad

This too shall pass

Ain't no sunshine when you're gone

Feel better, Friend

Can't smile without you

Thank you

Just a note to brighten your day and chase the gloomies away

So sorry you're under the weather

April Showers bring May flowers

The sun will come out tomorrow

Into every life, a little rain must fall

Praying for you

Thinking of you

Don't fret, Dearie

I love you rain or shine

So Happy for you

Wishing you sunshine

Cheer up, Buttercup

When it rains, it pours

Wishing you showers of blessings

PARTY HEARTY: Card templates

Here is another set I promised card templates for if you order them this month or this Fall.  I will send you instructions and measurements to make these 5 cards if you order this set.  I love this Birthday set.  So much better if you ask  me than what we have had before.  This set goes with so  many of our punches too.  And the little party hats can be turned upside down as a banner, and inked up in green for Christmas trees.  So cute.  This set begs for glitter too.  You have to order it.  And don't you just love the bright color combos using some of our new InColors.  Love that Pacific point blue.  So great.

SNEAK PEAK NEWS:  This set will be part of the Stampin' UP! 20 year anniversary special in October along with a bunch of other Birthday sets.  You will get 20% off this stamp set with a $20 purchase.  So cool.  Contact me for more details. 

Say It With Scallops

I am trying so hard to use all this stuff I have accumulated like: accessories, stamps, papers, card sketches, etc. So here are a group of cards I made using the new Ronald McDonald House set from Stampin' UP! called Say It With Scallops. This is an awesome set that is a lot more versatile than you might think. Pair it with the new scallop square punch and you have endless possibilies in a flash. Or as you can see from at least one sample, you don't need that punch.

For more samples and inspiration for this set see the following sites:

If you order the Say It With Scallops set from me you will get the cutting instructions for all 5 of my cards. Happy Stamping. And if you order the stamp set, Stampin' UP! will donate $2 from the sale of each stamp set to RMDH. It's a good thing all the way around.

Swell news for a friend

Hi, Everyone. It's been awhile since I blogged. I found out today that a dear friend is pregnant again, after about 4 years. They had their first about a month before our oldest was born, and went to the same childbirth classes as we did. Their second daughter is similar in age to our second son. They no longer live here in town, but we still keep in touch through the intertubes. I made this card for them tonight.

Used Swell News which is retired. I used real red, cool caribbean, basic grey in paper in inks. I think it turned out cute, and it was my own idea. Wow!!
