Our son graduated this month and Mr. Maui Stamper and I are immensely proud of him. Â Of course, a special card was in order:
We’re proud of all three of our children – seems odd to say that when they are all adults. Â I call them my chickens, and I’m always happy when we are all together. It’s been a good month.
Last weekend we made #ImBringingBirthdaysBack cards:
There were 10 cards and everyone could choose which card and how many to make. Â It was a lovely Saturday afternoon, and I made quite a few cards myself. Â It worked out so well that I’m planning on doing another one soon. Â Let me know if you’d like to come.
I lopped off the first HAPPY from this sentiment to make it fit the picture in my head. Â The retired Black Glimmer paper leaped out of my stash and insisted on being included in this card.
I love how this card feels like a square card – the Whisper White panel is 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ – but measures a standard 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ to make the whole envelope/mailing/postage thing work out. Â What’s the point of a birthday card that’s too much trouble to mail?
Sale-a-bration is wrapping up. Â The last day for orders is next week Thursday at 7:50pm HST. Â Avoid the rush: Â shop HERE.
And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I hope you’ll seriously consider the  April Paper Pumpkin.  The kits are beautifully designed and perfect to grab and go when you need a little crafty pick-me-up.  You can choose a one month subscription to try it out or save on a three month subscription and get a free SAB pick.  Deadline to receive the April kit is April 10th!
Did you ever count VW Beetles on road trips? Scour the highway so you could be the first to spot one and earn the dubious right to slug your fellow passenger? Wish you could be lucky enough to ever own one?
Some cars seem to evoke more powerful memories than others. As a kid, I used to count them, but it was my kids who played the “Punch Buggy” game until either someone was in tears or I was hollering or both.
You can see I have mad water coloring skills – ha! It’s fun and I’ve learned to Let It Be (cue the Beatles. See what I did there?).
I’ve added links to Stampin’ Up! products right in the card “recipe”. Let me know what you think! Of course, you can always just shop HERE. And while you’re at it, cruise through the Sale-a-bration options…because everybody loves FREE.
