Pleasant Poppies birthday

 
Pleasant Poppies is a big, single stamp you can use for any occasion. Today, I'm using it with this birthday card I made for a friend. I stamped the image in Jet Black StazOn on First Edition designer series paper (dsp), then used a Real Red ink pad and blender pen to shade the flowers.

 
I tore the bottom of the dsp and layered it on a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Square Lattice embossed Old Olive card stock that was adhered to the Real Red card. The crochet trim, 1/8" Real Red taffeta bow, and antique brad all add texture to the card. I didn't take a photo of the inside because I'd already written a personal message, but I die-cut the largest Apothecary Accent framelit and stamped a birthday greeting on it.
 
I hope you have an amazing day!
 
Just incase you didn't see the urgency! :)
 
Oh hey, just a reminder that there are lots of fabulous stamps that won't be available to order after June 3. Here's the list: Retiring Stamps. There will be a few days overlap with the new catalog, because that one starts June 1, so you can get "old" and "new" at the same time and on the same order!
 
Also, there are accessories that are running out daily. Look at this list and see if there's anything you can't live without. Retiring Accessories (while supplies last).
 
Happy Stampin'!

New Bloomin' Bouquet project kit - while supplies last!

 
Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!

Ordering information:
Item 134542 $12.95

A Fitting Occasion - thanks so much!


These are a couple of the thank-you cards I made to put into my customers' orders this week. The card base is River Rock that's been punched on one side with the Scallop Trim Borner punch, with a layer of Neutral (River Rock) dsp on top. I stamped the "thanks so much" in Early Espresso and used the 1" circle punch for it. I stamped the scissors in Cherry Cobbler and hand-cut them, adding a sliver of dimensional. I think the little stamps in A Fitting Occasion are so cute!

If you'd like to place an order, you're welcome to go through my Online Store at http://TheRubberRoom.stampinup.net.

 
If you're still here, I'll share this vintage silverplate Mayell (Made in England) jam dish with hanging spoon I found at a garage sale yesterday for a couple of bucks. My bestie, Kim, and I drove all over the county finding lots of treasures - big and small. We had a ball! Kim took home the big treasures, while I took home the small ones. Right now my dish is holding Monopoly pieces from about five sets. I saw so many cool ideas with Monopoly on Pinterest - making a ring with a green, wooden house (I have those!), making a box with the board, or a journal cover with the board, covering a lampshade with the money. So many ideas, so little time!
 
 
Here are the thimble and iron. I've got lots of those! I love the metal pieces. I'd love to hear any ideas you might have for Monopoly and all of the assorted parts!
