GLITTERED GREETINGS

Hello, Everyone!  Welcome back.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We spent Saturday morning doing Spring yard clean-up as the weather was beautiful, reaching a high of 80.  Sunday brought temps down to the low 40's with severe thunderstorms turning to snow in the overnight.  Driving early this morning was a bit dicey at times; but by God's grace, we both made it to work safely.

Lou and I always look forward to the arrival of My Paper Pumpkin.  We each have a subscription to this terrific kit of the month offered by Stampin' Up!  The March kit was exceptional in quality and value. 

In each box, we received:




1 photopolymer stamp set, 8 printed designer paper cards, 8 A-2 envelopes, 8 gold foil envelope liners, 2 sheets of glitter self-adhesive dots, 8 woodcut accent greetings, 1 sheet of mini glue dots.

Today, a couple of cards using just the elements of the kit:



Fold the card stock, stamp the Calypso Coral band, adhere the glittered dots, adhere the wood 'thank you' accent, and you are done! Wasn't that easy?   I am crazy about those gold foil envelope liners.

The 2nd share for today takes it up a notch:


This time, we stamped with Island Indigo,  and colored the 'congrats' by tapping the Calypso Coral ink pad directly only the woodcut accent. Finish as above.

All 8 cards in the kit can be completed just as easily and quickly as that.  Or you can use your kit as a launch pad for creating you own unique take.  Come back next time to see some of the designs fashioned at our monthly Paper Pumpkin Pals Play Date for the Glittered Greetings kit.

Happy Monday!  Happy Stampin'!
