Do you send cards for Halloween? It's definitely not a top "card sending" holiday, but sometimes it's fun to give a little spooky hello!<br />
<br />
For this month's card night, one of the four cards we made was a Halloween (or Fall-themed) card using the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142255">Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set</a> and I paired it up with the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142022">Halloween Night Specialty Paper</a> and <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142029">Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper</a>. I also used a stamp set called <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142236">Spooky Fun</a> for the sentiments and some of the added bats and spider.<br />

<br />
So...my 3 month (plus?) hiatus was unintentional, but actually really good for me! I spent a wonderful summer with the kids and didn't need to stress about feeling like I <i><b>have</b></i> to put something on the blog. Or that I <i><b>had</b></i> to create anything. With a regular schedule back in place, I feel motivated to start adding to my blog again. So here I am! :)<br />
<br />
Have you seen the adorable stamp set called <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141549">Foxy Friends</a>? Oh, it's the cutest!! Can you just see all of the sweet animals you can make from this set? What's even better is that this set also comes as a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142326">bundle</a> with the coordinating Fox Builder Punch. Save 10% by purchasing both of them together!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Over the past few months I have made some things using this set...<br />
<br />
When the new catalog came out, I participated in a card swap with some fellow demonstrators. I actually had a really fun time creating this card, especially using the fun prints from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141637">"A Little Foxy" DSP</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> Stack</a>. <br />

This card is one from my June card making night (the month the new catalog goodies became available!) It is a CASE from Wendy Cranford..with a few of my own additions. You can see her card <a href="http://www.luvinstampin.com/2016/06/june-luvly-stampers-team-event-featuring-foxy-friends-by-stampin-up.html">here</a>. Don't you just love that sweet raccoon? Again...notice the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141637">DSP</a>?</div>

This summer I also had the pleasure of creating a baby shower invite for a family member. I thought these turned out so sweet!<br />

<br />
And, just this last week I held my monthly card night for October and this was one of the card designs. The two cards below are basically the same thing with just a few differences in ribbon, sentiment, and enamel shapes.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll notice my blog feeling a little empty this summer. This is my
time with the kiddos and I typically take a little break from the "daily
do" list. I'll try to pop in and out to say hi! <br /><br />This is my final card I am sharing as a designer for the <a href="http://ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/2016/06/walking-on-sunshine.html">Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog</a>.
Today we're sharing some SUNSHINE with you all! Come on by to take a peek.
It's been a fun ride for the last couple of years, but I am pairing down
some responsibilities as I make way for new things in my life. I hope
to continue to join in the fun with the Monday challenges when I have
the time! </div>

My challenge was to create all four cards using the new stamp sets and goodies I ordered. So fun, but lots of work on a time crunch!<br />

My NEW favorite that I am looking forward to playing with even more is the set called <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141587">Jar of Love</a>. This set comes with SO MANY stamps! And, even better?! It comes with coordinating Framelits called <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141490">Everyday Jars</a>.<br />

<br />
We made this card during last week's card night (inspired by <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/176344141638144777/">this card</a> I found on Pinterest). I had two designs they could choose from. You could add the "celebrate" onto the bottom with the banner higher.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilt2v0RX97-QeAcnmDCyhOrUUR8VREvSSEfukLBMU_RowRm2Obq_gpgKUXZEgvN58hgn8tDh1bpBadXAfmYbNs_yh4fqVnZPR7nrQUvXCSmZUm6p9V_P__NZj4Peb-Mvr6yPDagmdxd6M/s1600/IMG_5402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilt2v0RX97-QeAcnmDCyhOrUUR8VREvSSEfukLBMU_RowRm2Obq_gpgKUXZEgvN58hgn8tDh1bpBadXAfmYbNs_yh4fqVnZPR7nrQUvXCSmZUm6p9V_P__NZj4Peb-Mvr6yPDagmdxd6M/s640/IMG_5402.JPG" width="504" /></a></div>

For my last card night I wanted to showcase as many retiring products as possible so that my customers could see these things in action and scoop them up if they can't live without something!<br />
<br />
These two cards show a simple card design, but a different variation of each. I like that my guests can create the kind of card they want to make...choosing the embossed background, patterned paper, and stamps.<br />

I was inspired by a card that I saw in the Stampin' Success magazine (an exclusive magazine for demonstrators only) and turned it into a card I could use for my monthly card night. It was such a simple, but sweet design that really showcases this paper well!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_THiFEMa4c/Vzvw_7-BGkI/AAAAAAAAbT4/NM04Fin_Iy4XfPpJ38w8KwO1SyBqEbnxQCKgB/s1600/IMG_4405.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_THiFEMa4c/Vzvw_7-BGkI/AAAAAAAAbT4/NM04Fin_Iy4XfPpJ38w8KwO1SyBqEbnxQCKgB/s640/IMG_4405.JPG" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
I was hosting another card night and still wanted to use this layout, but I had run out of the Old Olive cardstock (for the base), so I decided to change the card base and bring in a few more of the different prints from the DSP stack.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-il1SXgZLjAI/Vzvw_1wzzKI/AAAAAAAAbT4/-jJisfTkruUIgISjn9ZlaRB_0MXX2V7vACKgB/s1600/IMG_4780.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-il1SXgZLjAI/Vzvw_1wzzKI/AAAAAAAAbT4/-jJisfTkruUIgISjn9ZlaRB_0MXX2V7vACKgB/s640/IMG_4780.JPG" width="482" /></a></div>
<br />
And then I ran out of the Silver Baker's Twine and gave another option of using the Watermelon Wonder Lace Trim (also retiring). I had a variety of sentiments available for my guests to use and they
got to choose if they wanted to use the twine or lace trim. My two samples also showcased that you could change up the order of the paper to get a different look.<br />

This month's theme is all about May <b>FLOWERS</b>! We are really enjoying Spring here in Oregon. The weather has been exceptionally good with just the right amount of rain and lots of sunshine, which brings out the most beautiful flowers! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every
blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have
just left stop number <b>4</b> on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - <a href="http://stampinwithdarla.blogspot.com/2016/05/ssinkspiration-may-blog-hop-flowers.html">Darla at Stampin with Darla</a> If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below. </div>
<br />
Each of the cards I am sharing with you today have all been inspired by cards I have found that have jumped out at me. I have either CASEd the cards or used it as a springboard for my own design. (I have been lacking a little bit lately in coming up with my own designs, so I have been doing a lot of seeking for inspiration! Hopefully I am not the only one who sometimes can't come up with a design on her own!)<br />
<br />
I have also used the <b><i>Flower Shop</i></b> stamp set and coordinating <i><b>Pansy Punch</b></i> on all of the
cards you will see below! But, have no fear ~ these two products will be sticking around for
another year! However, they won't be offered as a bundle like they are
now, so take advantage of that while you can and save 15%!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This first card I created for a card night last night. It uses the (retiring) <b>English Garden DSP</b>. I kept this card to a few colors ~ <b>Mossy Meadow</b>, <b>Hello Honey</b> & <b>Soft Suede</b>. Both Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey are retiring in-colors (get them before it's too late!), so I wanted to try and use them for one last hurrah! The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the hostess stamp set <b><i>Happy Birthday, Everyone</i> </b>and will also be retiring at the end of May. The flower image is from the <i><b>Flower Patch</b> </i>stamp set and I used <b>Hello Honey and Soft Suede Markers</b> to color the flower image and stamp onto the background.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because I ended up not having enough of the DSP for the card above, I also threw in another option and the ladies could pick either the one above or the below mixed color of DSP. Even though the pink on the card wasn't technically a match to the ribbon I used (retired Raspberry Ripple!) I figured it worked perfectly enough this time around. I don't know about you, but sometimes you just need to use up some of
your ribbon stash, so both of the ribbons on these first two cards are
retired, but worked perfectly with this design and I had just enough needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
I found this card one day randomly on Facebook and was instantly drawn to its design. I literally created this card exactly as I saw it and only added a different sentiment (from the <i><b>Rose Wonder</b></i> stamp set) and simply added a rhinestone in the middle to give it that pop of bling! For the life of me, I can not seem to find the card I was originally inspired by, so I will be sure to update with credit when I find it! **Edited to add: Found the card I cased <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Songofmyheart/photos/a.152932564739063.22493.147721115260208/1157336564298653/?type=3&theater">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I used a <b>Blackberry Bliss</b> (retiring) card base and inked my images in <b>Hello Honey</b> (retiring), <b>Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss</b> (retiring), and <b>Perfect Plum</b>. The leaves and sun image are from a set called <i><b>Kinda Eclectic</b></i> and the small middle flower is from a set called <i><b>Petite Petals</b></i>. Both of these sets you will see carried over to the new catalog! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lastly, we created this card at a team meeting we had a couple of weeks ago. My upline brought all of the supplies to create this card and ironically it uses the same stamp set as the flowers above, so I thought I would share with the rest of these cards! I love the black and white with the pop of color using <b>Mint Macaron</b> and <b>Watermelon Wonder</b>. The washi tape is from the <b>Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape</b>. It also uses the<i><b> Kinda Eclectic</b></i> stamp set (leaves) I used in the above card, as well as a sentiment from the <b><i>Rose Wonder</i></b> stamp set.<br />

There's still time to make a card, so I hope that you'll feel inspired by our creations.<br />
<br />
My mother-in-law ordered the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=140683">Have a Cuppa stamp set</a> (from the 2016 Occasions Catalog) a couple of months ago and when it arrived I asked her if I could use it for her next card making night she hosts each month. I thought this would be the perfect card for these ladies! They loved it! The tea cup paired perfectly with the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=140557">Birthday Bouquet DSP</a> (also from the 2016 Occasions Catalog). Both of these items will not be carrying over into the new catalog come June, so if these products tickle your fancy be sure to order before the end of May! <br />

<br />
Today's sweet and simple card uses one of our retiring stamp sets called Banner Banter. Not only is this stamp set retiring, but we are also saying goodbye to the coordinating Banner Punch. Sad day! The good news is that there is still time to get these products before the end of May comes and they are gone for good! <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=140262">Buying this as a bundle</a> will save you 15%, but you can also purchase each of these products individually if you want one over the other. In fact, the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133519">Banner Punch is on sale for $9.10</a> (reg. price $13).<br />

I created this card to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>CELEBRATE</b></span> a baby dedication at our church. The base of this card is one of our Whisper White note cards (measuring 5" x 3-1/2"). I embossed it using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (which will be carrying over to the new catalog - yay!). The soft Wild Wasabi twine is retired, but this card would be great with a lot of different kinds of twine. The itty bitty hearts come from the Two-Step Owl Punch, which thankfully is sticking around unlike so many of the other punches!<br />

I have sooooo many favorites right now, but I wanted to pick out a favorite that will soon be retiring from the 2016 Occasions Catalog. This set is called <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=140736">Apple of My Eye</a>. It will no longer be available to purchase after May. Time to ink it up a little more before it's gone and I have a whole bookshelf of new stamps that will occupy my stampin' time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made this card at a recent card night. I gave the stampers the option to use Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the lemons (I ran out of my Wink of Stella glitter pen, so I went back to the old school method...which definitely adds a lot more glitter!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or I gave the option for the stampers to use Crystal Effects to give it a little more of a 3D look to the sliced lemon. The downside of this one is that they had to make sure they set it aside for a very long time to let it dry! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The original card was one that I CASED from a card I saw <a href="http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2015/12/stampinup-orange-you-the-sweetest-card/">here</a>. I added some rhinestones for a little extra bling. I actually used this card design for my March Card Night, which then inspired me to create the above design for another group of stampers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VojDTFFtgn4/VyLxzSZZ3kI/AAAAAAAAbOA/P-YWKHs3RKUimALaEPR7ZIQ6zgUuI_8FgCKgB/s1600/IMG_4037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VojDTFFtgn4/VyLxzSZZ3kI/AAAAAAAAbOA/P-YWKHs3RKUimALaEPR7ZIQ6zgUuI_8FgCKgB/s640/IMG_4037.JPG" width="514" /></a></div>

I think pearls are the perfect accent to any card. If you see below, I used them in a very subtle way by putting a pearl in the top left corner and two pearls in the bottom right corner. By adding these pearls, it gives the card an even more delicate touch, which was especially perfect for this beautiful flowering image and subtle colors.<br />

I LOVE this card we made at my February Birthday Bash Card Making Night. I will openly admit that everything about this card was CASED by <a href="https://stampercamper.com/2015/06/13/build-a-birthday-2/">Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner</a>. I fell completely in love with it when I first laid eyes on it, so I figure it would be perfect for card night and I didn't have to do all the thinking of coming up with a design! Win-win! </div>

My gift for Kim and baby Micah is something that all new mamas want ~ a gift card to Target to buy whatever she needs! :) Kim, enjoy buying some cute new baby boy clothes, diapers (if you must!), or all of those fun new style baby accessories you swoon over! Of course a gift card requires a cute gift card holder. </div>

Any bundle you purchase always saves you 15%!<br />
<br />
The bundle I have really enjoyed playing with is the Botanical Blooms Bundle. With this bundle you get the Botanical Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Botanical Builder Framelits, and Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper. Purchasing them all together saves you 15% off the price if you were to buy them individually! The products coordinate so well together...why wouldn't you want them all?! ;)<br />

The first card I am sharing with you today <i>may</i> look familiar to some of you as this was one of the make n takes we created at November's On Stage Local (top right). <br />

I changed the dimensions, but kept the design concept the same and simply attached it to a Hello Honey card base. I added a sentiment and a candy dot for the center of the yellow flower. To get that "perfect" top and bottom image on the white, I used my faithful Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. Without it, there is no way I would be able to get it that straight as the stamp itself isn't as long as the paper. Have you tried <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101049">this awesome tool</a> yet? This particular DSP is unique as it is meant for you to stamp directly onto the Botanical Garden Designer Series Paper using the coordinating stamp set. How fun!<br />

My second card is a CASE from <a href="http://angscraftycards.blogspot.com/2015/11/botanical-builder-sneak-peak.html">Angela Lorenz</a>. We made this card at February's card night. I am just getting around to posting! I thought this would be fitting to share another example of how to use the three coordinating products. The vine on the right of the card...isn't that beautiful?! I used the same concept of stamping onto the DSP. The center of the yellow flower is sponged with Cajun Craze so there is some ink peeking through behind the center of the floor. I finished it off with a Cajun Craze candy dot.<br />

I have a fun card for you today that shows off a little shimmer! The first picture of this card may be a little hard to tell, but the polka dots on the balloon have a little shine and shimmer to them (take a peek at the second picture posted for a better look).<br />
<br />
I created this card for February's card night (the theme was birthdays!). I used the Perfect Pairings Sale-A-Bration stamp set (only available through TODAY!!) and the Celebrate Today stamp set and coordinating Balloon Framelits. I love the boldness of the Happy Birthday sentiment (you can see the Sale-A-Bration freebies <a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/Sale-A-Bration%202016/20151005_SAB16_Core_eng-US.pdf">HERE</a>).<br />

Here is an up close of the shimmer on the balloons. To get this effect I used Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. It gives it that subtle shine to add a fun touch to a card.<br />

If not...you should be!! I have really been loving my Paper Pumpkin kits lately. Each month it's a surprise, but it's always something fun! I took March's kit to the beach with me this last weekend over Spring Break. These Paper Pumpkin kits are so great for when you want a little bit of creativity because all you have to do is grab the box and go...it comes with everything! (Your first kit comes with a block, but after that ~ you're all set!)<br />
<br />
Normally the Paper Pumpkin box is orangish-red, but to celebrate THREE YEARS they created a special box for March! I love this Bermuda Bay color and wish they would change it to this color from here on out. :) <br />
<br />

Before I show you just how cute the March kit is, I have to tell you about the special incentive for April's Paper Pumpkin.

Here are all of the goodies that came in the March kit. Have I mentioned how much I love Bermuda Bay?! (Not pictured is the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Spot. Each kit comes with the ink that you need to create the project!)<br />
<br />

<br />
While we were at the Oregon Coast for Spring Break it rained (surprise, surprise) so we had a little bit of down time INSIDE...time to pull out the Paper Pumpkin kit! This is a fun activity that my daughter and I like to do together.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-djIyNOEgoPo/VvtXMQZRVpI/AAAAAAAAbGA/w0Hr65rzD-MSJRRmpsZ8KH9IfaHSjMWYg/s1600/IMG_4055.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-djIyNOEgoPo/VvtXMQZRVpI/AAAAAAAAbGA/w0Hr65rzD-MSJRRmpsZ8KH9IfaHSjMWYg/s640/IMG_4055.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Each kit comes with a stamp set you can use for so many other projects, as well. It also comes with an instruction booklet with easy step-by-step instructions.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gxUiOKuMiOk/VvtXMYDh_mI/AAAAAAAAbGA/GS7JIPt6L1QyUaox4DccQ6p_gLQ2P0nqQ/s1600/IMG_4043.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gxUiOKuMiOk/VvtXMYDh_mI/AAAAAAAAbGA/GS7JIPt6L1QyUaox4DccQ6p_gLQ2P0nqQ/s640/IMG_4043.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
One thing I love about Paper Pumpkin is that a lot of times it will have special embellishments you can't get anywhere else in the catalogs. Like these pre-colored Mint Macaron pearls!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3_UXc8VBFEU/VvtXMUFpwKI/AAAAAAAAbGA/BLRwHtv-4TQUUZJiy-fFJJxrYL_9LMmjA/s1600/IMG_4059.JPG"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3_UXc8VBFEU/VvtXMUFpwKI/AAAAAAAAbGA/BLRwHtv-4TQUUZJiy-fFJJxrYL_9LMmjA/s320/IMG_4059.JPG" width="640" /></a> </div>
<br />
Often times subscribers will think outside the box and create many different things using the kit contents (check out <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/paperpumpkin/">Stampin' Up's Paper Pumpkin Pinterest board</a>), but I pretty much stick to how it was intended. I like to think "inside the box" every now and then and not have to come up with my own creations like I do with most of my other cards. That's the great thing about Paper Pumpkin. You can get as creative with it as you want to or just follow the instructions.<br />
<br />
The March kit included 4 full-size cards and a special envelope (pre-scored), which includes a pocket to slip in a gift card. SO CUTE!! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SOg6tIwDs4I/VvtXMSqNOHI/AAAAAAAAbGA/U5IY8snLzwMHDcaO5DahvtFAr-Pcd_rEQ/s1600/IMG_4332.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SOg6tIwDs4I/VvtXMSqNOHI/AAAAAAAAbGA/U5IY8snLzwMHDcaO5DahvtFAr-Pcd_rEQ/s640/IMG_4332.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Wrap it all up in the envelope and then it comes with self-adhesive stickers to close up the envelope with the cutest little touch! I stamped the heart in the middle of the circle (which comes in the stamp set!)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fJSlpiN0Hzs/VvtXMRwx1ZI/AAAAAAAAbGA/CR1NU2syKk0Rn0MUkxv0hrPGqfbRFfr5g/s1600/IMG_4336.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fJSlpiN0Hzs/VvtXMRwx1ZI/AAAAAAAAbGA/CR1NU2syKk0Rn0MUkxv0hrPGqfbRFfr5g/s640/IMG_4336.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This kit also included 4 gift card pockets and coordinating smaller cards that you can slip in the pocket with the gift card.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

The bright colors are so fun and although I usually steer away from black...I am digging the accent of this color in some of the paper and products. I love that this paper stack comes with 4 of each design as I can really make it stretch! The coordinating washi tape is fabulous and those sweet little enamel dots are perfect for the right accent (if Stampin' Up! could only keep them in stock...haha!)<br />

This particular card design I created for my February card night. <br />
<br />
Here is one of the cards using one side of the DSP (stripes)...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87Ht7Q0KX9gJM0rhmowOeQmq9ThBPbuCD91LQgEyphmPT4kWonBKxwGHm_ECHnDyuJLJ7L7Jx6c7nWcn-bZLX1fzceeU6GWtzWRH8m4y-RP5Lj1QmuOJRw2ZvMtpmmrlvp0WpeNYDEpw/s1600/IMG_3979.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87Ht7Q0KX9gJM0rhmowOeQmq9ThBPbuCD91LQgEyphmPT4kWonBKxwGHm_ECHnDyuJLJ7L7Jx6c7nWcn-bZLX1fzceeU6GWtzWRH8m4y-RP5Lj1QmuOJRw2ZvMtpmmrlvp0WpeNYDEpw/s640/IMG_3979.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And another card using the confetti background (the other side of the DSP)...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qYm2rTlEh_E/VvOFDHvke_I/AAAAAAAAbA8/1WOghLDHiuoornM8-IFnCm8PykGErwf8w/s1600/IMG_3985.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qYm2rTlEh_E/VvOFDHvke_I/AAAAAAAAbA8/1WOghLDHiuoornM8-IFnCm8PykGErwf8w/s640/IMG_3985.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the birthday cake to give it some pizzazz and shine, as well as some silver metallic thread peeking out of the back of the circle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

February & March have been so busy, but I hope for things to be slowing down a little. As I type this I am at the beach house enjoying a little "downtime" with my family for Spring Break. No laundry to do or things to clean. Now I can put my time towards other things...like blogging while the kiddos are asleep!<br />
<br />
Each year my upline (Andrea) and I put together a little "Sale-A-Bration" of our
own and we come together to sale-a-brate our downline in a fun way. This
is our fourth year, so if you want to see some of the other things we
have done in the past you can click <a href="http://stuckonstampin.blogspot.com/2014/02/2nd-annual-sale-brate-our-downline.html">HERE</a> and <a href="http://stuckonstampin.blogspot.com/2013/01/sale-brate-our-downline.html">HERE</a> (apparently I didn't blog about it last year - oops!) We have a small group, but we still try to make it special!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We always like to start with a meal that both Andrea and I plan and put together. This year we went on the lighter side and had sandwiches, chopped salad, and chips. Wrapping a band around a water bottle creates decorative touch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had ice cream sundaes for dessert...yum!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each year we share two different make n takes for our downline to then re-create. This year Andrea and I both had water coloring on the brain, so our samples showed different ways with this technique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She shared with us how to create a bokeh background using watercoloring and white ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're busy at work creating our masterpieces! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uVPpyA3vGzE/VvN5Rd0S20I/AAAAAAAAa_0/R30JAoL9BHwYtrlerWTeZHm2SxjXXHgxQ/s1600/IMG_2911.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uVPpyA3vGzE/VvN5Rd0S20I/AAAAAAAAa_0/R30JAoL9BHwYtrlerWTeZHm2SxjXXHgxQ/s640/IMG_2911.JPG" width="640" /></a> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the final card. This was the first time I tried the bokeh background. I really liked it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d4imWSP_VCc/VvN6bkCf7aI/AAAAAAAAbAY/RYAJ-vh0ofMI3UdVdHved1CDWnqylXnOg/s1600/IMG_3254.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d4imWSP_VCc/VvN6bkCf7aI/AAAAAAAAbAY/RYAJ-vh0ofMI3UdVdHved1CDWnqylXnOg/s640/IMG_3254.JPG" width="484" /></a> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have already shared the second make n take I created <a href="http://stuckonstampin.blogspot.com/2016/02/watercolor-wash-hello.html">HERE</a>. This particular card showed the watercolor wash technique using one of the (now retired) Sale-A-Bration sets. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made each of the gals a fun little gift using the Baker's Box Thinlits Die (I have already posted more details <a href="http://stuckonstampin.blogspot.com/2016/02/botanical-tag.html">HERE</a>).</div>

Andrea gave everyone these cute little bags filled with bath beads. She used the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=140578">Polka Dot Cone Cellophane Bags</a> new from the Occasions Catalog. </div>

This card was <a href="http://stampingscene.blogspot.com/2015/11/stampin-up-european-onstage-live-2015.html?spref=pi">inspired by a card</a> I had found while browsing Pinterest when looking for a quick and easy thank you for my daughter's basketball coaches. I love how the little bit of washi tape goes a long way with this design and the gold glimmer paper, foil, and thread tie together nicely. And, bonus that the Star Framelits I used on this card are on the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133723">Weekly Deals this week</a> (ends today, February 29th!)<br />

Not sure how that number came so quickly, but it is here nonetheless and I plan to embrace this year!! It was a day full of so many sweet blessings from friends and family and I truly felt loved.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
let's party on!<br />
<br />
We're sharing our favorite DSP today at the <a href="http://ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/2016/02/favorite-designer-series-paper.html">SSINK blog</a> and my favorite right now fits perfectly with my birthday week (I can still celebrate all this week, right?!). I am loving the <b>It's My Party DSP Stack</b>. Even with it's dark colors, I just love the Melon Mambo pairing with it and Mint Macaron is quickly becoming another favorite! And, that twine? L-O-V-E.<br />

This year Stampin' Up! is retiring a couple of Sale-A-Bration freebies early and they will only be available through TODAY (February 15th), but this means they're also bringing in some new stuff! Starting February 16th there will be a few more options for you to choose from!<br />
<br />
I thought I would sneak in one more card using the Sale-A-Bration set called Hello. This is one of the products that will be retiring early, so if you can't live without this set be sure to put your $50 order in TODAY to get it as your freebie! (<a href="http://stuckonstampin.blogspot.com/search/label/Hello">HERE</a> are some other cards I made with this set.)<br />
<br />
This card was inspired by the talented <a href="http://www.thecreativitycave.com/my_weblog/2016/01/friday-quickie-techniques-and-tips-wet-watercolor-wash-backgrounds.html">Dena Rekow</a>. We had our annual Sale-A-Bration team meeting last Wednesday and I wanted to bring a watercoloring technique to share. The size of this card is a note card size, but it works perfectly with the "hello" sentiment. I used emboss resist with some watercoloring and specifically used watercolor paper, which makes for such a beautiful look when paired with ink and aquapainters. Just a simple card, but a fun one for a friend to get in the mail! The flower comes from the Botanical Builder Framelits, which I popped up on a Dimensional and added a rhinestone to the center. <br />
