Hi Stamping Friends. GOT FRUIT? LOL! If anyone knows me personally they know I hate glitter but used it on this card that I cased from Erin Gonzales at www.handstampedstyle.com and she told me I could case her card so check out hers as it's very cute. I stamped the flower from Reason To Smile on Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, and Tangerine Tango and then punched them out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Then I scored them in half and cut on the score line. Then I used my White Gel Pen to make the pith of the fruit and then used my marker to darken some of the petals like seeds and then use my 2 Way Glue Pen and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the seeds. It looks much cuter in person. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelit to cut out the Whisper White card stock and then used the Argyle EF and sponged around it. I used the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and used my marker to color just the So ----Of You so I could use the Fabulous Phrases word set with Sweet and cut it out with the Jewelry Tag Punch and then cut off the tab and stuck a mini glue dot under it to say so sweet of you. I used mini glue dots to also hold down the ribbon as I didn't tie it around my card, I just laid it down the width of the card. Do you like it?

Good afternoon friends. Oh wow I have had a busy weekend. I got a call from a friend yesterday about this time wondering if I wanted to go see Magic Mike......UH YES! Me a single gal, heck yes I was ready to see male behinds and gyrations going on. LOL! I thought it was really a good movie as there was a good story line. The cinema was packed with men and women. Of course the women way outnumbered the men. LOL! It was a 2 hour drive over and 2 hours back so I got home really late last night. I got up his morning and went to Church and then called my friend so see if she wanted to run to town as I needed to get some groceries. So we did that and I just got home a bit ago. It is sunny and hot today and I have not made it out to the garden yet so I need to get out there and water when I am done posting this.
This is the Mini Milk Carton that I had made to copy and give to my driving companions going to convention this month to Salt Lake City but I am not going so figured I would show it to you. I was going to fill it with candy. I ran the die through the Big Shot in Baja Breeze Card Stock and then with the Floral District DSP too but didn't make it as wide since I only needed the bottom part. Then I tied the Baja Breeze Seam Binding ribbon around it and I made a tag using the Ticket Duo Punch and stamped Gratitude on it and then embossed it the the Argyle EF. I tied that to the Baja Breeze Ribbon with the Calypso Coral Baker's Twine.
Then I used the Boho Blossoms Punch with the same DSP and put a mini brad through the middle and attached the flower to the front. Doesn't it make a cute little candy box? I think so. I stapled the top closed too.

Good morning stamping buddies. I am refreshed after sleeping in today after working 11 hours yesterday. I watched the Bachelorette last night and then zonked I think. Wow she let Doug go home and John. I wasn't surprised about Doug but because of Chris being such a psycho nut she picked him. I was scared he would stab someone. I thought that Jeff and her were really cute together laying on the floor in the library. I guess I am liking him more than I did before. It will be interesting to see the home dates to so see how the families gel with her next week. I don't really have to much to do today except water the garden. It is going to be hot and dry this week so need to wrangle hoses I guess. NOT FUN!
Isn't this card fun and bright? It was sort of a case from the Stampin' Success Magazine that us demos get monthly. Yes, it is full of ideas to recreate. You can get it too just by joining my team for $99.00. Really, that is all. I would love to have you on my team of Bev's Busy Bees. Just click on join my team and do it. What are you waiting for? On my card I used the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die and textured it with the Argyle EF and then stamped the Gossamer Lace stamp and fussy cut it out. Then I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits and paper pierced that with Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack which I just love. Then I used the Papillon Potpourri set and stamped the butterfly and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. The Sweet Friend is cut out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. Then I spritzed my card with the Color Spritzing tool. Yes, I know tools tools tools! And men think they are the only ones that need tools. HA! I do too. I was thinking as I am looking at this card of how really blessed I am that I could stamp tons of this same card to send it to all of the friends I have because of this stamping business. Yes I am so blessed. Thank you God!
