Blooming Basket

Good Friday to all, I hope your week has been going well!

I made this card to send to a customer who recently placed a order with me.  When I send cards to my customers, I always leave them blank so that they can re-use them, if they want.  I place a hand-written note inside with a few mailable goodies from me!

This is a Sale-A-Bration stamp set and a embossing folder that was offered as a bundle.  The embossing folder is called Basketweave and will be offered in the new annual Stampin' Up! catalog in June 2018.

For this card I used Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. I used my Sahara Sand ink pad and lightly tapped the embossing folder to add some color to the background.  I used my Stampin' Blends, because you all know how much I like to color and I love how it turned out!!  I also use some Linen Thread and made a double bow the the basket handle.  This I a stamp set that I will keep and use long after the Occasion catalog has retired!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and will try to come back next week to share again.  Mary

Heartfelt Blooms

Awhile back I made two cards, the same, for my two aunts who both had birthdays coming up.  I when with this stamp set, Heartfelt Blooms and love how the cards turned out!

For the two cards I used Thick Whisper White for the card bases, then cut a piece of Sweet Sugarplum, then stamped the image in Sweet Sugarplum on regular Whisper White.  I heard from my cousin that she thought the card was so pretty.  Simple, clean and simple and no extra postage needed!  Sorry I don't remember which stamp set I used for the sentiment, but you can easily use your favorite!

Thanks for coming....Mary

Paper Pumpkin December 2017

Well, I'm back after a month off.  Didn't realize that it had been the long since I've been gone.

Today I'm sharing a card that I made with my December 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I need a quick card and this is what I reached for and had one done really quick!

I did add the framelits that is available during Sale-A-Bration, but Stampin' Up! has told us that this set of framelits will be available in the new Annual Catalog coming in June 2018!

I sent this card to a high school friend who is going through a rough time, health wise.

I hope you have a great day and thank you for coming by!  Mary
