As The Ink Dries

3 Cheers for You!

I should be showing you some cuteness from the Holiday (not so mini) Catalog since it is now available to order from but instead I am going to share another Happy Hour card!  Just imagine I am cheering the Holiday Catalog!

See the cute little scallop circle at the top of the card?  Well it is from the Holiday catalog so at least I have something new to show.  Seriously though that Holiday catalog is so jam packed with goodness that I swear I see new things everytime I look in it.  It is a dangerous one for sure!

Here' a liitle better view of the 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch (see pg 7 HC-Holiday Catalog).  Now as cute as this little scallop circle is, it does have a real purpose in being  on this card.

Yup, it is a little slider!  I was thinking that this would make a fun congratulations card to send my downline.   I just noticed how crooked the martini glass is!  Looks like too much cheering was going on when that one was stamped!   If you have ever thought about being a Stampin' Up demonstrator this might be the month to join in the fun.   This month there is a bootiful gift that you will receive when you sign up to become a demonstrator.  

You will receive this fun kit to make this adorable Howl-o-Ween Printer's Tray project.  In addition to being able to  customize your demonstrator starter kit you will receive this fun bonus project.    This offer is for August only so please contact me and I would be happy to talk to you about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Yes, I would love for you to be part of my team!

 

Cheers! It's Happy Hour!

Happy Hour stamp set that is!  Is it too early for a blue Martini?  Surely it is Happy Hour somewhere in the world!  It has been a bit of a struggle stamping around here and I am not sure why.  I am just hoping it ends soon!  Maybe a cocktail or 2 might help.

If I told you how long it took me to make this very simple card I think you would definitely suggest I drank a blue martini instead of stamping one!  

I filled in the drink with Crystal Effects and decided to glitz it up with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  I also wanted a little red pimento for the olive so my red Sharpie to the rescue!
