Autumn Leaves-Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that a study in the Journal of Aging Research found that babies born during the autumn months are more likely to live to 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Who knew. Their study found that 30% of US centenarians born during 1810-1895 were born in the autumn months. I am not sure how accurate these statistics are for today, but it is interesting. While there is not an official study, I believe that people born in the spring tend to have a sunny disposition. Fun Fact: I was born in April. LOL

Today’s card celebrates all those beautiful people born in the fall. Hope you have a blessed weekened!

Even though my birthday is not in the fall, I do love the fall season. The changing of leaves, the cooler weather, those crisp cool night by the fireplace. There is just something comfortable and cozy about fall. Happy Stamping!

Sweetly Scripted-Online Exclusive

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!

2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems

I believe the color coordination on a card is what makes it seems more professional.

Thankful for Flowers-Fun Fact Friday

Hey all today I am sharing a card with you that I created using the Layers of Beauty Bundle. The masks in this bundle make it super simple to add shading and look like a real artist. Shhhh don’t tell anyone that I am so very far from being that! But you will love this bundle because it is so super simple and look at the amazing results.

I started with a Blueberry Bushel card base and the next layer is one of my “Bubble Up” backgrounds. I showed this technique several weeks ago and I am still enjoying creating these soft backgrounds for a little “wow” on my cards. Click here if you missed that tutorial. The thanks is from Simply Said and along with the masks from the bundle, I used a blending brush with Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel to create my flowers.

Fun Fact

Did you know that bubbles for kids have been around for centuries! Depictions of bubble blowing, dated to around 1733, show children using pipes to blow bubbles, according to the Bubble Blower Museum website. The article goes on to mention that pipes and, later, wands were the earliest mass produced bubble blowers, with the earliest patents dating to the 1920s.

I remember doing bubbles with wands in my grandma’s backyard. Such fun and who knew that I would never grow up and am now using bubbles in my crafting! I encourage you to be a kid again and give this fun technique a try. I promise you will not be disappointed. Happy Stamping!
