Guess what I was able to do today? Buy some flowers for outside our house! I learned about 30 years ago not to buy any growing things before Memorial Day in Montana and then there's still chance of frost or hail all summer, but at least they have a fighting chance and we won't get a blizzard. It was so fun to wander around the local greenhouse and pick some stuff. I try to vary it a little each year but I was never blessed with a green thumb so I have to be careful and not get to ambitious. Scroll down for a look at it all!
Speaking of flowers, I have something that you will really love today! Stampin'Up! has come out with the cutest stamp/punch bundle. It has 4 bouquets of different types of flowers with a canning jar to put them in. The punch is the canning jar shape AND there are canning jar clear domes to create shaker cards. Wanna see?
I couldn't wait to play with this and especially try the domed canning jars. They have adhesive on the top and bottom lip of the jar which goes all the way around the perimeter so you get a nice and tight seal on your jar. There are also some cute green and white gems to fill in the jar. I used the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, primarily because it feature three of the new In Colors, Bumblebee, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight! Aren't they gorgeous! My sentiment is from my newest "go to" stamp set, Many Mates. I colored the bright sunflowers with my Stampin' Blend markers and overall, love how this card turned out. I sneaked in a little bit of embossed Misty Moonlight cardstock as well, behind the jar. This will be a special card for someone and I'm sure they will love it!
I've listed the supplies I used below so you can easily click on any of them and get to the store. Most of these products are featured in the "Flowers for Every Season" suite, on pages 10-12 in the new Annual Catalog. Check it out as well as all the other wonderful new products debuting now!
And for my flowers, well here's a start....
I do love this time of year! Feels so good to be outside more and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of summer! Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Stampin'!
