I hope you all had a great weekend. It was a strange 4th of July for sure this year! I still haven't watched Hamilton yet because the weather was too nice. It looks like we'll have some hot & sticky weather at the end of the week, so we'll watch it then with the AC
on. I spent some time in my garden this weekend and read an entire magazine on my deck - a luxury! I took some photos of my flowers and wanted to share a cute one with you. I captured this cute fuzzy bumblebee taking a nap! A reminder that naps are good for all busy workers & crafters. Enjoy!
I'm trying something new and I hope you will try it with me. Let's stamp on Zoom! I can't tell you exactly what your two cards will look like, but I can tell you that we will make one card with the trendy new "strippy scrappy" technique and the other card with the starburst technique. I had so much fun yesterday making up some samples.
For both techniques, you only need scrap papers, a paper trimmer and glue. Reply back to me on this email or contact me in another way to let me know you would like to join and which time slot you would like.
I will email you the zoom invite and more details on what you need prior to the meeting time.
Choose either this Thursday 7/9 at 10 am or next Tuesday 7/14 at 7 pm.
From now until August 3rd, you can earn Bonus Days coupons on all your orders. For every $50 in products, you will earn a $5 coupon to use in August. And, you can use these coupons on the new Holiday catalog which launches on August 4th!!! These coupons will be automatically emailed to you, so don't delete them!
This is a great time to stock up on card stock, adhesives, envelopes as well as try out a new patterned paper, stamp set or punch. a 3 month pre-paid Paper Pumpkin subscription will qualify for earning a coupon too.

You have several choices of coloring when it comes to Stampin' Up!. Below are 8 peony flowers, all the same stamped image and colors of Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green. Each image uses a different coloring technique. All of the peonies that have
a white background use the Shimmery White card stock , which works very well when introducing water. Plus, there is a slight hint of shimmer.
