A special 60th birthday card

My mother in law turned 60 on Friday, and last night we had a party to help celebrate her special milestone.

Here's the card I made her:

How gorgeous is that 60?  I used silver glimmer paper from our current mini catalogue and sponge daubers with Calypso Coral ink to turn them this gorgeous colour!

I am really pleased with how it has turned out, although I am going to have to fire my photographer for not taking better photos!

Yet another Fresh Vintage CASE!

There are so many gorgeous cards floating around in cyberspace made using the Fresh Vintage Sale-A-Bration set!  I think I  have about a million saved, and today I want to share my latest one with you.  

I was inspired by this card over on Splitcoaststampers.  Did you look yet?  Gorgeous hey?  So, I was stamping away, as you do, and this is what I ended up with:

.....and the inside.....

So, while not quite the same as the original, I didn't deviate very far from her card :)

Fresh Vintage CASE

I have another cased card to share with you today.  I fell in love with this card as soon as I saw it!  I made some slight changes because I didn't have everything that she used in the original.

I love the elegance of this card!  Here's the inside:

Punch Bunch

I needed a few quick Thank You cards, so I pulled out the Sale-A-Bration set Punch Bunch to make it's debut!  For such a quick and easy card, I am really pleased with how these came out.

I made my first one in Regal Rose.  I love this colour!

So I made it again in Rich Razzleberry.....gorgeous!

Last, but certainly not least, is Perfect Plum....although it is looking decidedly gray in my photo :-(

In real life, the Perfect Plum one is my favourite.  It's such a neglected colour in my stash, but I do love it.

Punch Bunch is one of the Sale-A-Bration sets available when you purchase $100 of Stampin' Up!® products.  These sets are available only until March 31st, so be sure to place your order before then to avoid missing out.

Thanks for stopping by.

After selling our house and moving, I have finally unpacked my stamping stuff (or enough of it to be able to play, anyway) and got some play time in today.  I used this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches for inspiration.

A Sale-A-Bration CASE

A while ago I saw this card over on Danielle Daws blog, and fell in love with it.  Danielle has the best tutorial for the Crayon Resist Technique as well, so make sure that you check it out.

I will be really sorry to see this stamp set go at the end of the month, but at least we have all the new goodies in the new mini catalogue to play with!  Not to mention the three new in colours that we have to play with over the next four months!  I am in love with them, and you will be seeing so much made using the Rich Razzleberry paper!  Love it!

Have a great day everyone.

Happy Stampin'
