Stampin’ Up Happy Retirement Relaxation

Hello Everyone! 

It is exciting when you meet people down the road who enjoys and appreciates the things you enjoy doing. I was in training one day and I was talking to this guy sitting next to me. We were sharing our hobbies and things we like. He was telling me he created his garage into a wood shop and he loves to make mini little gifts to people. How much I admire those who can create and be creative and share their creativities with others…so inspiring. So I told him, I enjoy crafting and I love to make personalized cards for others. So I showed him some of the cards I’ve made too. He loved them!!! And asked me to make him a Retirement cards (I was of course jumping in joy from the heart hehe). So of course I would love to. It’s honestly the sweetest thing when people admire and show appreciation on the creative things anyone do.

It was a challenge to make something that I wasn’t too sure if another person would like it or not too. But, it’s not hard because when creating if you are creating something that you, yourself know that you would love, it will make any challenge easy. Or maybe I should actually say, not challenge but afraid, but then again that’s the same too, why afraid when it’s something I myself would like….so scratch that….

But any who, when creating this card, I always wanted to add these cute little flowers to the cards so I thought this is my chance to see how I want to use these cute little flowers that’s been sitting in the jar since I bought them. (Woo hoo, finally able to use them.) I added a hint of glitter to the flowers to give that cute little shinny look. And since it’s a retirement cards, I wanted to create a “relaxation” card, so I thought of the color blue and flowers and butterflies. And of course I need to add the “bling” to the card to give it that extra “relaxation” look and feel.

Stampin’ Up Array of Sunshine Card

Hi There!!!

Since the weather was so hot, might as well continue more crafting fun of wonderful beauty of flowers. So I thought I’ll make a “Happy Birthday Card”. Birthday is always wrapped with a wonderful pretty wrapping paper and then a bow on top. That was my inspiration.

This is where the creation begins. So for the “present box”, I created it with the “Happy Birthday” stamp, and then instead of a cute bow on top, I wanted it to be like this hot weather, add flowers in replace of the “present bow”. I wanted it to also be like this heat, so vibrate colors ink stamps were used to give the flower some colors and add that extra heat to the card. Take a look…I think it looked great. It’s a simple easy card to mass produce too. Just a little of hand cutting the flowers are required, but always fun to do.

Stampin' Up Secret Garden Thank You

Good Morning!!!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. This weekend it was SO super-duper HOT HOT HOT, so I decided to stay indoors (given that my hiking plans were cancelled). But I was being productive and what is the best way to stay cool and fun = home and craft!!!! Oh I had a blast crafting my heart out this week.

And what is a better way to express this lovely weather, the beauty of flowers. I got my hands on these wonderful Stampin' Up Secret Garden Stamp Set (129144) that goes perfect with these Stampin' Up Secret Garden Framelits Dies (129372). Then add a little pearl bling in the middle of these flowers, you got yourself a little cute nice garden full of flowers. It was so lovely to  make this card and it works perfect to say “Thank You” to someone you appreciate so much!




It was so fun creating this card! I hope you enjoyed today’s posting!
