When I was in seventh grade I would dream of my house and the perfect husband. I imagined having 6 kids and a 2-car garage. Well, fast forward a few years-LOL-and I don’t have 6 kids or a 2 car garage, but hey I do have the perfect husband and two amazing kids. Blessed I am and today I am celebrating the birthday of my daughter. Who knew I would be old enough to have adult children.
Watching my daughter grow up into the beautiful, smart, thoughtful, and caring person she is today has been a real joy. God has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination and having an adult relationship with my daughter has been the greatest gift of all. Happy Birthday sweetheart, I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living your mommy I’ll be.

One can never have too many thank you cards, right? After all it is never too late to say thank you. I have always found that thank you cards are the most uplifting, especially when they are hand-crafted and in my opinion, Stampin’ Up! has the best coordinating colors in the business. Pair them with the Sweetly Scripted online exclusive stamp set and you are ready to go.
Sweetly Scripted
I layered Summer Splash, Basic Black, and Basic White cardstock. I stamped the greeting with Summer Splash ink and added some In-Color Shimmer Gems and they match perfectly. Love it! Don’t forget about our Designer Series Paper sale going on now through August 31st. And if you have any Bonus Coupons from last month, you have to redeem them before the end of the day August 31st. Use them or lose them!
I believe the color coordination on a card is what makes it seems more professional. I guess it is true, good tools make a job so much easier and Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy with all of our coordinating colors, ribbons and of course, bling!

Today I am sharing with you how I turned one Paper Pumpkin card into three different birthday cards. This is an alternative way to create cards using your August 2024 Paper Pumpkin supplies. I probably should have titled this Paper Pumpkin Hack since I seriously hacked one of the kit cards to create 4 new cards. I will share my fourth card with you on Friday! Be sure to stop back for the fun!
I hope you enjoy these alternative cards. Be sure to stop back on Friday to see my fourth and final card from the August 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit. CLICK HEREfor more information on how to become an exclusive Paper Pumpkin member.

Did you know that 80 is the new 65? While I am not sure if that is a fact, it seems to be thing. Maybe it is because a lot of the Baby Boomers are turning 65! LOL It is that time again in the month when I go to visit my senior friends at Mother of Good Counsel Home.
Seriously though, did you know that many senior living communities can feel like neighborhood and living in senior living communities can prevent social isolation. That’s a good thing! Don’t worry about taking your beloved dog or cat because many of the communities are pet friendly. If that is not great enough many seniors can keep their independence and go on scheduled outing where transportation is provided. It’s like having your own chauffer. They even have fun classes like card-making. And here are the cards we are making today.
Card #1
Fun and Bright Colors -Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie
Use your favorite designer series patterned paper to create this card. I cut three strips that measure 3-3/4 x 1-1/2 and layered them on a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of Peach Pie. The greeting is from Sweetly Scripted and stamped on a strip of white-1 x 5 1/2.
Card #2
Soft and Subtle Retired Wisteria Wonder-try Highland Heather!
I just love the look of a monochromatic card, don’t you. The flower in this image is from a retired set, Calming Camellia and I also used some Wisteria Wonder ink and retired designer series paper. You can use any colors and patterns that you have on hand. I started with a Basic White card, add a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of Wisteria Wonder. The Basic White panel or the flower and greeting measures 2-3/4 x 4 and the patterned paper measures 3 x 4.
Card #3
Elegant Flower-Retired Rococo Rose and Pistachio Pudding
For my final card I again began with a Basic White card and added a 4×5-1/4 layer of Rococo Rose. I stamped the flower in Rococo and the leaves with Pistachio Pudding ink, both retired on a 3 x 5 Basic White panel. Remember I tend to use my retired stash for my senior friends.
I hope you enjoy today’s cards, I am sure my senior friends will be thrilled. They are a special group and we have a lot of fun crafting together. If you know someone who is not able to get out much then I encourage you to send them a hand-stamped hug! Happy Stamping!
