Make It Monday - Featuring Life in Boots

Hi all,
For Make It Monday today, I really need to make Wedding invitations for my sisters wedding.  I had shown my sister the current catalog and she fell in love with the Life in Boots (shown below) and Country Rooster.



As luck would have it, both are part of the Stamptacular Sale happening through the end of February or while supplies last. I was thrilled to see these sets were included in the sale as I had planned on ordering and using the the wedding invitations and thank you cards.

The below picture shows how I laid out my design for the wedding invitation.  I stamped the cowboy hat in intense black and the boot in toffee to see which color I liked better before going whole hog on the stamping.  In the end I switched to Expresso Ink on the Kraft paper, because it just looked better to me.



Today I stamped and cut 50 sets of boots and 50 cowboy hats.  I cut the boots and the cowboy hat at the same time to save time. I love how they turned out. 

During the month of February, enjoy Stamptacular savings on selected stamp sets and Stamp + Thin Cuts bundles! With drastically reduced pricing on stamp sets of all sizes and dozens of Stmap + Tin cut bundles, this is a sale you don't want to miss. Included are 5 popular stamp sets that have been brought out of retirement just for this special!!  Shop Stamptacular sale

Well, off to make the bases for the wedding invitations.  I need to finish these so we can address and mail on Valentines day.  Wish me luck in getting my thank yous out in a timely manner.

Have a wonderfully crafty day!!

Make it Monday - Featuring Perk Up

Hi all,
For Make It Monday today, I really need to make Thank You cards.  This past Friday was my retirement party.  I retired from Motorola after a wonderful 31 year run, so my husband threw me a party.  My wonderful friends surrounded with congratulations and a few lovely gifts.

I feel in love with the Perk Up set in the fall but hadn't had a chance to use it.  Perk Up is a fantastic Stamp/Thin Cuts set to have in your collection!

Perk Up on sale Feb 2020 ONLY $15 for the bundle

 Here are 3 of the cards I made up really quickly. I love how they turned out.
