Stampin’ Up! a Hello Friend

0

A quick hello to a friend on the other side of the world.  He’s been gone for quite a while, but time is going fast and he will be home soon.  I continue going back to the Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack – Neutrals Collection because it’s perfect for masculine cards.

It’s so much easier to add pretty pearls, buttons, and rhinestones, but for a guy… I don’t think he would care too much for all the girly stuff.  I must say… this paper stack is perfect!

I used the Easy Events – Clear-Mount Stamp because it’s a matter of time before my friend will be back with his family. I added a small piece of Chocolate Chip card-stock underneath the Whisper White card-stock to prevent the white from drowning in the Crumb Cake base card-stock.

A Blue Hawaiian Hello with Sale-A-Bration

2

[pinit]The military has  given me the gift of travel.  I’ve been around the world a few times to distant shores and all over the United States.  Places  abroad that would change the way you think, the way you eat,  and definitely appreciate your freedom.  But, the best place I never  get enough of is Hawaii.  I made this card before my trip without  realizing that the colors are a reflection of the beautiful Hawaiian colors.  I have a little over a week to go and will share with you my temporary duty assignment aka TDY adventures.   The crown reminds me of Kamehameha the Great… Hawaiian Islands first King.  Hope you enjoy this Sale-a-Bration sneak peak that starts Jan. 24th.

Beginning on Feb. 15th my virtual stamp club will debut.  Take a look at our catalogs on the right  and browse through the stamps you would love to see.  I will post details on Feb. 4th.  I’m so excited and can’t wait to share it with you.    In the meantime, Aloha  from Hawaii.

Happy Crafting,
Maggie
