ETA: Here's the picture of the card as it sat on my lap on the way to the party. I had to update this post to include this picture because it's colors are so true! :)
My sister-in-law had a birthday this past weekend and we were lucky enough to celebrate with her and a huge group of her friends.
I'd had the flower element on this piece sitting on my desk for a while now, and once I knew I needed a card for my SIL, I knew this was the embellishment for her!
The flower is made using the now-retired DSP, Raspberry Tart, and the Sizzix Daisies #2 Die. As a final topper, I put on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and a rhinestone brad for the center. This DSP has the craziest pinks and greens, and I just loved it. I had some larger pieces of DSP left over that I used to make the layers on this card.
The stamp set is Absolutely Fabulous and I used its namesake stamp on this card.
The new catalog is almost here! Today is the go-live date for the new annual Stampin' Up catalog. If you're interested in ordering a catalog for yourself, please send me an email. Or, you can order online through my site and see the new goodies that way! (Note: as of 8:15 a.m. MTN time, they were still updating the demonstrator sites like mine to contain all the new goodies - the good news is, you can shop day or night using this site!)
This cute little robot is from Lots of Bots, which is one of the sets that demonstrators were allowed to pre-order. Now granted, the designer series paper is a retired item, but soon we'll have access to a whole new supply of patterned, exclusively Stampin' Up, papers to play with.
This card is for one of our (many) special neighbors. We think he'll get a kick out of the "Happy Birthday, Human" greeting. :)
