Belated Birthday Cupcake

I love the sentiment from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set, because it is just perfect for this card, which was late! I did remember... 

... but then I forgot to make the card! I have begun using the retired but much-loved Top Note die to make the inside of my cards a little more special than they have been in the past.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Won't you please take a few seconds to leave me a comment? They make my day.

Love Bug Rides into the Sunset and Weekly Deals

The VW Bug in the Beautiful Ride stamp set reminds me of so many things. Our daughter had a '74 Bug in 2000--her first car. She loved to carry her surfboard on top and get herself to the beach. That car broke down so many times! But she loved it and it was a cool ride.

The bug also reminds me of summer and right now in Southern California, we've got temps in the 90's! I took the opportunity to CASE a card in the 2016 Occasions Stampin' Up! Catalog. On page 15, this card is made using one color of watercolor wash and in a square shape. I decided to use three colors, more lie a sunset sky would be, but without green! I just liked this color combination.

After washing the color on your water paper, all you need is a little time for the ink to dry and then you can stamp the images using Basic Black ink. Matt and you are finished!

Gathering for Greatness Card Swap

Whenever stampers meet, there is usually a swap! That means people sign up, and the total number of people is how many cards each makes to "swap" with one another. You get a whole bunch of ideas and have a pile of finished cards. This card is the one I made to swap with everyone here at Gathering for Greatness in Phoenix. We are having a wonderful time and the fun keeps on going all weekend. We are listening and learning from one another and we hope to take home new ideas for our projects, business and relationships.

Thanks for stopping by today! I will have more swap cards to share with you (the ones I received) in the coming days.

Please use my Online Store any time for your orders.
