New Toys!
It was a happy mail day yesterday when I received a box full of Stampin’ Up goodies! I just *had* to have this cute Cheers to You set and I decided to make myself a strawberry margarita. The bright colors and fun drink make me feel like I’m resting peacefully on the beach. Ahhhhhhh that would be nice. Snap back to reality… I’m sitting at my computer getting ready to head off to work and sit in a cubicle for the day. That little daydream was fun while it lasted. lol. I used another sketch from the Cut It Up contest as inspiration for this card. I stamped some of the panels with polka dots and then pierced and stitched each one. The scalloped border was made using the Fiskars threading water punch. The image is colored with Copic markers and I used Papertrey’s Lemon Tart twill to finish it off. I can’t wait to play with the rest of my new goodies! I got Upsy Daisy, Crazy for Cupcakes (of course!) and the matching cupcake wheel, along with lots of the new designer papers and accessories! What’s your favorite new Stampin’ Up set? Have you ordered it/played with it yet? Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
