4 more days....

Published: Sat, 01/03/15

I already mailed two of today's cards out to friends who had December birthdays - I have to be totally honest here and admit I mailed them as belated birthday cards. Sorry about that Lisa & Jenna! I hope they were surprised to see new products on their birthday cards.

Yesterday I posted cards using the new chalk ink. This may look the same at first - but I used a different technique. Hats off to Connie Babbert for the idea - I totally copied her (I promise you she will be flattered and happy I used her technique). All the words are embossed in white - and wait for it....then I colored over the white with my Blendabilities!!!!!!! How awesome is that!

All of these words are really three separate stamps - "happy birthday", "celebrate your big day with cake", and "and perhaps a little ice cream". They all come in the new Sale-a-bration stamp set "Big Day" along with stamps of a birthday cake and candle. The inside strip of paper is from the Sale-a-bration designer series paper "Best Year Ever".

Do you remember the other day I mentioned I like to use the "inners" from the new "Petal Potpourri" flower stamp set as backgrounds - here is that polka dot used as a fun little background.

Have you started your wish list yet? So many great products so far and so many more to come!
