Happy Birthday Month!!

MARCH!! Can you believe it??

And tomorrow is my birthday!! When I was a little girl, my dad would call me "Sunshine", and then my mom would burst into song (she did that on many occasions) with "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." 

My heart still gets a little mushy when he will occasionally call me "Sunshine"

And let's have a birthday card to share today!

The ladies will be making this card at an upcoming Tuesday class.

I used some retired designer paper that had Crushed Curry for the sunflower, then Crushed Curry for the base and the detailed part of the sunflower.

HIVE embossing folder is what I used for the Basic White layer, and Granny Apple 

Green card stock for the two layers of the leaves. I tried the leaves with another print pattern but it just did not look good. So I embossed the bottom/flat part of the leaf to give it more texture. Kind of hard to see on this photo, but trust me, it really does make a difference. A few Champagne Rhinestones set it off nice. The "birthday wishes" is from BEST FAMILY EVER, and the SUNFLOWER DIES, of course.

Greatest Journey

Today is the last day for the 2023 Sale a bration. Always sad to see a great promotion like this slip away.

Today is also the last day to take advantage of the great STARTER KIT DEAL

All the details for both of these promotions can be found below. Don't regret missing out on these deals. SAB will not return until January 2024.

One of the newer added free products is called ENJOY THE JOURNEY 12x12 Designer Paper. This paper is a product you can purchase through April in the mini catalog, but today is the last day that you can get it for FREE with a $50 purchase.

It coordinates with the GREATEST JOURNEY bundle in the mini catalog.

These coordinating products work perfectly for masculine cards or for your friends and family that enjoy the great outdoors!

You can find all of the products in the ENJOY THE JOURNEY SUITE on page 58-59 of the Mini Catalog.

I know that I have been going through the catalog in order of how they are located in the catalog, but I jumped ahead quite a bit to share these cards with you.

Inspired by: Linda I chose a different greeting, making it a simple birthday card. The black cardstock for the mountain is simply torn (same for the third card)

Inspired By Lyssa I cut the designer paper at 5-1/2" and each strip is 1" wide except for the one on the left, I cut that one 1-1/16" wide so it would fit best. What a super simple card! Especially if you use the ADHESIVE SHEETS behind your Basic Black Cardstock before you cut our your biker.

Inspired by Melissa  

This card is combined with MOUNTAIN AIR Stamp Set and dies. The birthday greeting I chose is from SEASON OF CHIC

Conversation Bubbles

It's kind of funny how when you look through a new catalog, certain things jump right off the page and you KNOW that you NEED to purchase them.

CONVERSATION BUBBLES is one of those bundles I knew I would want to have on have for not only card making but also for my scrapbooking. (item #160637)

I have had a lot of fun playing with this set

I love to make scrapbook pages of our pups! This one is our youngest, Tori. Tori is actually 6 weeks pregnant with her first litter. We cannot wait to see the cute pups that she will have.

Another great product for scrapbooking is the ALPHABET ALA MODE DIES (item #160750)

This card is a slim line card - these cards will fit in any A10 size envelope or you can create your own envelope with a good quality printer paper, but Stampin' Up! does sell some really nice slimline envelopes (item #157981) in three colors: Smoky Slate Soft Succulent and White.

I created the shadow areas by using the negative portion of card stock that I cut the word bubbles from and then sponged some color using it like a stencil.

 

This little treat was made using the MINI POCKET ENVELOPE DIES (item #159167)

You not only get the die for the envelope treat but you get al these bonus dies: a bow, a leaf, tags, etc. 

For the display at the Mid-Winter Retreat I added a couple Merci Chocolates inside (henceforth the "yum" and "sweet"!!

This is a card that I posted in an earlier blog post. It's the Valentines Card that I made for my daddy!

This last card is one that the ladies will make at an upcoming Tuesday class

Inspired by Brenda (no blog) Here are the measurements that I came up with (since I had no tutorial) 

Base: Fresh Freesia: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4

Designer Paper: DANDY DESIGNS Sale a bration FREE item with a $100 purchase

Layer #1 is 5-1/2 x 3-3/4

Layer #2 is 5-1/2 x 3-1/4

Basic White is 5-1/2 x 3

I cut the "HEY" from the piece of DSP that is Calypso Coral with white stars

Just remember that TOMORROW is the LAST DAY to get this great pack of paper (48 sheets that measure 12x12) for FREE. Let's end this SAB with a BANG!! Check out all the links below to place your online order.

I would love to see what you are making with your CONVERSATION BUBBLES BUNDLE. Please feel free to share them with me HERE
