Life is Grand -

So I just got back from Onstage 2019 in San Antonio. It was such a blast!!!! I get to celebrate with team members, listen to inspirational speeches, see great demo and get to feel wonderful product!! A new annual catalog will be in out hands in less than 2 short months. It is a beauty and I have already ordered a bunch of wonderful great upcoming suites!!!

I am starting my farewell tour of some goodies that are going away in the current catalogs. This week in my monthly stamp class we used Life is Grand stamp set. I offered 2 versions of this card.

1. This card I made two different options to choose from for this card, a birthday or a greeting.
2. Bermuda Bay Cardbase 8 1/2 in x 5 1/2 in folded at 4 1/4 in.
3. Pool Party cardstock 4 in x 5 1/4 is stamped with pool party ink with one of the back ground stamps Marble or Crackle Paint. Secure to Cardbase. (I like to keep my background stamps either flat facing upright paper face down then rub all over with a piece of scratch paper over it, or use stampartus)
4. Twinkletime DSP from stitched rectangle squares layered long ways down the card.
5. Stamp sentiment of choice on smaller white stitched rectangle in Bermuda Bay Ink. Placed on front with dimentionals.
6. If using birthday sentiment then punch out balloons in pool party and Bermuda Bay. I put wink of Stella on a couple and position at the top of the rectangle. Then happy birthday stamp on Bermuda bay 3/4 in strip. Ii used the Evereyday Label punch to make ends around sentiment. Place below wish sentiment.
7. If using greeting sentiment then using petal punch and romance paper and pear pizazz I layered leaves and corners diagonal top and bottom to back side of stitched rectangle. Attach to front with dimentionals.
8. Colored some white pearls with Dark Bermuda Bay blend marker and placed on front of card.
