Grateful for You

Although the stamp set and cardstock for this card are retired, I still had to share my Customer Thank You card for those who placed orders or subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin with me in April.  I appreciate my customers so much and I love to thank them each month with a hand-stamped card as well as provide them with a PDF tutorial to recreate the card if they choose to do so.  Just something to let them know how much they are appreciated! 

 

I really love how this little card turned out.  Very easy to create, but still so adorable!

The New Idea Book & Catalog is LIVE

Today's the day!!!  The 2016-2017 Idea Book & Catalog is live.  You can now order new product!  I will be sharing some projects over the next days and weeks -- although things may be a little sporadic since we SHOULD have a new baby in the house!   

 

Life Update and a Project Share

Not much has changed at my house.  We are still waiting for Baby Girl and in the home stretch - she is due to make her appearance on June 4.  We are all very excited to meet this special babe.  The nursery is all set and the house is ALMOST sterilized (not really, but we have been deep cleaning).  My hubby will be home TODAY (he works away most of the time)!!!  I'm so very excited to see him.  He's been gone since January this go round.  Our son is officially a junior in high school -- not quite sure how that happened -- and on the last day of school not only did he get his learner's driver's permit but he also got his first job!  We are so very proud of him!  Enough about my personal life -- onto today's project. 

 

Every month I participate in a card swap with some fellow amazing Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  Not only do we share our cards in hopes of inspiring each other, but so that we may have LOTS of samples to share with our stamping friends!  For April's swap, I went with the gorgeous You've Got This stamp set and stuck with a monochromatic color scheme.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE color, but sometimes monochromatic is just the way to go.  I absolutely love this card!  It is a joy fold card.  They are really easy to make, but WOW are they gorgeous!  I hope you enjoy my card as much as I enjoy sharing it with you!

I must advise you that several of the products used for this card will retire TODAY (scalloped circle punch, candy dots, It's My Party Designer Series Paper)!  Please head to my store if you want any of these products before they are gone forever.

Another Thank You for My Customers

I'm a little late posting my March 2016 Customer Appreciation Cards (although I did mail them on time)!  As I've mentioned before, my life is a bit crazy right now and will be over the next few months.  I can't believe I will be a first-time Nana in less than 6 weeks!  We've had 2 baby showers for my daughter and the second shower had 40 attendees, so we have baby stuff EVERYWHERE!  We will finally be able to begin converting the guest room to a nursery this weekend as we should have no more guests until after baby arrives. 

 

Today's card is sweet and simple.  I love how easy it was to put together.  You could easily change things up by alternating the patterned circles as well.  The envelope liner was created with the Envelope Liner Framelit, which will be retiring with this catalog and is available while supplies last.  The sentiment was stamped with Another Thank You, which is also on the retirement list.  I used the Watermelon Wonder Designer Series Paper from the 2015-2017 Designer Series Paper Stack, which will be returning in the 2016-2017 Idea Book and Catalog!!  The small heart was punched using the Owl Builder Punch.
