A Joyful Birthday Workshop

Happy Hump Day!  It was simply GORGEOUS here yesterday after not seeing the sun in I don't know how long!  What a treat!

Today I have a special private workshop that I am hosting for a friend.  Here is one of the cards we will be making...

We will be using the Blossom Paper Packet(retiring!), the Joyful Birthday My Acrylix Stamp Set (retiring!), White Shimmer Trim, Kraft CS, and Coral Reef Sequins.  I also used the Cricut Artfully Sent Collection to cut the flower and leaves.  The shapes all cut out on the same paper, and I just had to reverse the pattern to the green leaves.  Easy peasy!  :)

Stamp of the Month for JUNE!

Pass the Ice Cream!

Alright, so it wasn't quite Father's Day yesterday.  BUT, in my defense, I wasn't the only one who planned for it like it was!  ;)  I did feel a bit silly, though.  Can someone pass the ice cream, becaues there isn't anything ice cream can't fix! 

Shimmer Trim with a cherry on top!  :)

I used the following Close to My Heart supplies to make this simply fun birthday card:

Stamps:  2015 June Stamp of the Month, Ice Cream Dream and Seaside Greetings
Inks:  Lagoon Exclusive Ink, Lagoon, Smoothie, Gypsy, and Pear Ink Refills
Papers:  Blossom Paper Packet (zip strip), Lagoon CS, White Daisy CS (both included in the Blossom paper packet)
Other:  Dots Embossing Folder, Coral Reef Sequins Asst., White Shimmer Trim, Thin Foam Tape, black fine line marker

Make A Wish!

I am toasting the final minutes of having only one teenager in the house as I type this post...oh my word, how did that happen?

My fashionista birthday girl wants a room make-over for her birthday ( I guess rainbows and unicorns are SO 12-years-old), so with this in mind I used the perfect little My Acrylix stamp duo for the sentiment on her card, Wish and Doodled Designs...

I seriously threw this card together in under 20 minutes...a record for me indeed.  I actually had some of the products out already from another creation I have to show you tomorrow.  I used the Confetti Wishes Paper Packet, Thistle, Pixie, and Black Exclusive Inks, NEW White Shimmer Trim (I just heard someone faint...I know how you feel!), Sparkles, and the fantastic NEW Junebug Puffies.

Guess what!  If you ordered each of the products I used to make this card, you would not only be able to get a SWEET deal on the Stamp of the Month for just $5...BUT you would also qualify to purchase size C and D stamps for just $10 each!  That is a $12.95 savings on the SOTM, and another $3.95-$7.95 savings on EACH other My Acrylix you decide to get...as many as you like!  Check it out soon because the Deal of the Decade will be gone with 2014!  You might want to scroll down to see what ELSE you get as well!  ;)
