A Cup of Blooms for A Birthday

How about sending out a lovely cup of blooms for a birthday? It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

a cup of blooms for a birthday
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by National Eat What You Want Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used birthday, gingham and twine to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card features the new Cup of Tea bundle.  What could be more fun than receiving a teacup filled with bright blooms in shades of Crushed Curry and Sweet Sorbet for your birthday?  Of course, the sentiment can easily be switched out to celebrate a variety of occasions, especially if you use the versatile Sending Smiles stamp set.  A Sweet Sorbet designer paper, with a definite retro vibe, pairs perfectly with a Petal Pink gingham pattern. Of course, the Starry Sky teacup, with its Tahitian Tide overlay, steals the show.

Happiness Abounds for A Friend

Happiness abounds for a friend of mine, and I am going to let her know I am thinking of her with this sweet card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

Happiness Abounds For A Friend

This week, the talented Joanne has an amazing sketch for us.  I felt it was a wonderful one for showing off the new Hues of Happiness designer series paper, as well as the Happiness Abounds bundle, with its fabulous dies. Plus, it was perfect for creating a card to celebrate my friend’s victory in her battle against cancer.  Happiness abounds indeed! I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

“Let the dies and the paper do the work” should be the tagline for this card. The flowers and leaves were die cut from Hues of Happiness designer series paper, using coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies.  Only the sentiment, in this gorgeous font, is stamped. It, along with other beautiful sentiments, can be found in the Happiness Abounds stamp set.  All of these products will be available May 3rd when the new 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog goes live.

Notes from Nueve

Hey, everyone! Guess what! I got a new toy! I got it when my mom took me to the  Horsin Hound dog food store. I didn’t have to do anything special either.  The man who owned the store just gave it to me! I think he could tell by looking that I was a good boy.  There were even people there who gave me treats and played with me, ’cause I was good boy!

My new toy is great for snuggling with when my mom is not around.

Happiness Abounds for a Friend

I am going love it forever!  And I am not going to tear it up.

Happiness Abounds for a Friend

Thank you, Mr. Horsin Hound, for ‘preciating all of the work I do.  I am a working dog.  I am Good Boy Nueve!

(Added by Mom:  I would like to thank everyone at Horse and Hound Country Store for making Nueve’s visit delightful, and for the free toy.  He carried it into the house from the van all by himself, and he hasn’t left it alone.  He even took it outside when he had to go out and do “Good Boy” things!)
