Best Day Ever – Attempt two

photo (9)

Yesterday I posted the first attempt at this card.  See it here.

I wanted to figure out which card was the favorite to send our friend, and also to enter in Mojo Monday card sketch challenge.  If you are a stamper you should enter the challenge.  See the challenge here.

Please leave me a comment and vote on your favorite.   Abby picked her favorite this morning and we sent it on to our sweet friend.

Did you notice the heart on the card?  I stamped it with the heart from Best Day Ever.  I punched it out with the heart from Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and then covered it with the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers.  This is the first time I’ve used these epoxy stickers and I love them.  I can’t wait to use them again.  Hmmm, who needs a card with a heart, star or circle on it?

Be awesome today!

 

 

 

 

Best Day Ever/YOU made My DAY

Our very good friend surprised Abby with flowers and candy the other day.  Of course Abby was thrilled, and wanted to send a very special thank you note.  I decided to use the MOJO Monday sketch 387 and here’s what I came up with for my first attempt.  Tomorrow I’ll show you the second attempt and you can tell me which you like better.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Best Day Ever set which I got free during Sale-A-Bration.  I love the saying, “You made MY DAY,” because our friend really did Make Abby’s Day!  The Calypso Coral Pompom Trim made the card even more special!  I added hearts along the bottom of the envelope.  When the card arrives, do you think they will open the bills first or the envelope with hearts across it?   I know which one I would open first.

Here’s the happy inside of the card.  I left room in the middle for Abby to write a note.

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since 2003.  It truly brings me joy to make a card and send it to someone who I think will feel joy receiving it!

Halloween Invite – Clearance Rack Deals!

Here is a picture of the invite for my sweet daughter’s Halloween party.  Her friends loved it, which made me very happy           photo 3 (9)

So, I bet you’re wondering why I would show this Halloween card in February?  Well, guess what?  The stamp set, Fall Fest, is on the clearance rack for $11.19 and the Fun Fall Framelits are also on the clearance rack for $17.49.  You know next October when you really want this set and framelits, it will be on ebay for a bizillion dollars.  The “Spooky Spooky” etc. is from Mingle All the Way.  Yep, it’s on the clearance rack also at $12.59.  This is a great time to get a sweet deal and be set for Halloween.

On the inside I used the Holiday Invitation set and the retired bat punch.

.Here are the  goodie bags she made for the party using the Paper Pumpkin.  These were so quick and easy.photo 1 (15)

Paper Pumpkin is awesome!  We get a new kit in the mail every month, and Abby and I have a great time putting the cards or projects together.

Abby also made cute bat cookies, Reese’s spider treats and more.  I thought you might enjoy seeing them even though they aren’t stamped.

We also made treats for the teachers. The Fry Box gets a lot of use at my house.
