I have some really cute and fun ideas today for birthday cards with some tongue-in-cheek style. Perhaps you know someone that resembles these ladies, or perhaps you are these ladies! Either way, they are charming for their joy of life, no matter what age! Here they are:
I didn't buy this set at first because there were so many others I wanted but I knew eventually I would get them! These stamped images are from the "You've Got Style" stamp set and I just love them. They remind me a little bit of my grandma and her friends. They were an amazing, energetic, adventurous and little bit sassy group of widows from small town Montana that traveled the world in their later years. They were such an inspiration to me as I watched them enjoy life together and find silver linings after losing their husbands at early ages.
I want to point out that on the first card, I used the new alcohol markers, Sampin' Blends! I especially like the ivory one for skin tones. I was skeptical because the skin colors always look off to me but this one really worked! How fun was that!
Stampin' Up! has such a wide range of styles and themes for stamps. There is always something that is the perfect concept for anyone in your life. I love the variety and especially the freshness when new catalogs are released. Speaking of which, the new Occasions catalog is going to launch on January 3rd! If you would like a copy and live outside Gallatin Valley, contact me and I'll get one to you. Our annual promotion Sale-A-Bration is coming up too and that is the perfect time to buy and earn free products at the same time. More info is coming on that!
Meanwhile, I hope your day is full of style!
Happy Stampin',
Sarah
