Personally, I love running around in rain showers. It feels so refreshing to not only me but to the atmosphere. However, I'm sure some of you out there are getting tried of being shut-in because of the dreary storms and it will be especially good that April showers bring May flowers. Either way, April is wrapping up and so are a few of our promotions! (The links from the captions and pictures will work until the promotions are over.)
Yes, it's true! It's that time of year already when we have to say goodbye to all of the sweet seasonal products. There are a few select items that are being carried over! Feel free to contact me to find out if your favorites made the cut.
Time is running out to qualify and purchase the "Four Frames" set and "Paisley Petals" DSP. They are both a hint at what's to come in the once the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog drop this summer. Such intricate designs, it's all very exciting.
These handy surprises are still available for $5, $10, and $15- I've said it before, but what a steal!
Alright, now that I've let you know what you need mull over during this last week of April, I wanted to help whet your appetite a little more! Kind of mean, I know. I went and grabbed myself the clear stamp set, Valentine Defined (123057) because it's not just for Valentine's Day in February. It can be used when making something for any loved one.
Here's a nice enough card with the lovable tree
colored in with Stampin' Write markers,
but it's what is on the inside that counts, right?
Well, how about a gift card popping up to say,
"Hello! Spend me!"
Or two tickets to that thing you like?
(I adore Isaiah Mustafa from the Old Spice commercials!)
Side view/ behind the scenes look.
This was incredibly easy to make and I found the tutorial online from Paper Garden Projects, who modified an idea from the PaperCrafts Connection Blog. Pop-up cards are always great and they are making quite the comeback lately, so why not join in? Plus, there's a certain (national) teacher appreciation week coming up next week... *hint hint*.
While we're still recovering from celebrating Easter weekend together, I hope to see you soon with a project I made with something from the new Summer Mini. Thanks again for tuning in!
