Is that not fabulous??? Now...do you see where I'm going with this? Earn your Bonus Days coupons before July 31st and then use them to order the uber-awesome Thoughtful Branches bundle in August! It's a win-win! Remember, after you place an order, either in my online store or through me directly, Stampin' Up! will email you with your coupon code(s). KEEP THAT CODE!! You are the only one who can see it (I can't!) and Stampin' Up! can not resend it if you lose it. Write it down, take a screen shot, do whatever it takes to ensure you don't lose that coupon. It would make me SO sad if you missed out on your discount!

Alrighty then...now on to some stamping. Today I have another of the cards we'll be creating tonight at my class featuring the Floral Boutique Suite...

I have been wanting to demonstrate the Drapery Fold technique for a while now and the Floral Boutique DSP is the perfect way to do it! Beautiful, colour-coordinated patterns on both sides of the page. I used the Detialed Floral Thinlits to die-cut a piece of Whisper White card stock for the upper portion and divided the two sections with a narrow strip of Night of Navy card stock that I brushed with my Wink of Stella clear glimmer brush.


That sweet bow is punched from Night of Navy card stock using the Bow Builder punch and then also brushed with Wink of Stella...so shimmery! I added a Metal-rimmed pearl to the centre of the bow. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and is heat embossed in white directly on the Night of Navy card base.


On the inside I kept it super-simple so I could add a sentiment later, depending on what occasion I needed the card for. I simply stamped the border image from the Floral Phrases stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.

I am headed out of town this weekend to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary...it is sure to be a busy, family-filled time of celebration! I hope your weekend is fabulous too!!

It's my Anniversary!

Six years ago today I made a decision that changed my life. I signed up to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator to "save money" on my crafting habit. My husband told me in no uncertain terms that I was NOT to take on another job. Yeah...sure honey ;)
Today I have a thriving small business that is paying my son's private school tuition each month! Who knew that one little decision could lead to so much? I have met people who have become life-long friends who have enriched my life in ways I can't even begin to describe. I have discovered how much I LOVE showing people how to tap into a creative they didn't even know they had. What a crazy, busy ride it is, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
To celebrate my big day, I have a special card for you...

I know you might this hard to believe, but this card is SUPER quick and easy. That gorgeously intricate floral design is courtesy of the new Detailed Floral Thinlits. Isn't it stunning? I simply die cut a piece of Dapper Denim card stock and then layered it over a piece of Whisper White card stock and then matted it on another piece of Dapper Denim.  The card is built on a Thick Whisper White card stock base.

The sentiment, in that lovely script, is from the coordinating Floral Phrases stamp set.The only embellishment needed on this pretty project is some silver 1/4" NaturalTrim, which adds just a hint of sparkle.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment and a floral image from the Floral Phrases set in Dapper Denim ink. So simple, yet so elegant.

Thanks for stopping by on my special day...I hope yours is fabulous!
