Fun Fact Friday ~ Happy Anniversary

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Fun Fact Friday /

My husband and I were married in October almost 36 years ago. Then the most popular time to be married was June. Now October is the most popular month for weddings. In 2022 43% of all weddings took place in between September and November with 20% celebrated in October.

Today I am sharing an anniversary card that I created using the new online exclusive stamp set, Sweetly Scripted. I absolutely love, love, love the slim line greeting and the font is perfect for that special occasion.

Sunshine and Rainbows-Fun Fact Friday!

Fun Fact Friday, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing with you a card I sent to a friend who recently had a knee replacement. I am not sure she has received the card yet, so if she sees this post before she gets her card then I guess she gets twice the sunshine and rainbows. The greeting I used to create this card is from Kindest Expressions and is available in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. The background was created using the Bubble Up Technique that I shared with you on Monday! Click here if you missed that post.

I stared with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a layer of Basic Black CS. The Bubble Up technique was created using about 10 drops of Calypso Coral re-inker and 1/4 cup of bubbles. I stamped my greeting with Memento Black ink and yes, I used my stamp positioner to make sure it stamped well on my background.

Fun Fact!

Did you know that according to science, soap bubbles do not actually fly, they float? The bubble film and the air trapped inside of it are incredibly lightweight. When they float through the air, what you are watching is the bubbles riding on top of denser carbon dioxide (CO2) gas molecules in the outside air!

Check out the fun bubble technique in video #166 from my Mondays Make it Monday Video Series. I know you will have fun creating with this technique . Create multiple backgrounds and save them for future projects. My card today took about 2 minutes to create!

Fields In Bloom~Fun Fact Friday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Fun Fact Friday /

Did you know there really is a famous flower field in California. The Flower Fields is located in Carlsbad, California and host over one hundred thousand visitors annually. No joke. There are 13 different color varieties of flowers planted and the 10 weeks of color takes about 10 months to prepare. 55-acres are devoted to raising the ranunculus bulb crop; approximately five acres are used for other specialty flowers. Who knew?

Today’s card reminded me of the Flower Fields in California. I hope you enjoy looking up more fun facts about this beautiful place in California.

I began with a Peach Pie card base and added a layer of Garden Green. My flowers consist of Peach Pie and Garden Green, not as many colors as the fields in Carlsbad. I added a few birds in my fields, but I understand if you visit the real Flower Fields there is an amazing ocean view. Sounds spectacular. Happy Stamping!
