Hello There

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. It's been SO HOT, I can't even make it my car without breaking a sweat! My weekend was pretty low-key, but it was still really nice. We had another Food Truck Invasion in my neighborhood on Saturday so of course we had to go! I had a delicious Cuban sandwich along with a strawberry milkshake. Can you say delicious?! It was funny because Paige almost ate the whole thing! We had fun, but it was so darn hot we couldn't stay long.

So, about two weeks ago I took some time to make some cards for my stash. It seems that I'm always scrambling to make a card at the last minute, so the light bulb finally went off and I realized that I need to have cards on hand for any occasion. Today's card is just a simple hello. From time to time, a person may come to mind that you haven't spoken to in a while and when that happens, why not send a card? I know everyone loves to text, but how sweet is it when you receive a card in the mail and it's not even your birthday!

This card was quick to make because I finally pulled out my Mini Misti! Why did I wait so long to start using this awesome tool?? I used it for the flowers and the sentiment. The tool allows you stamp in the same area multiple times without a fuss. I love it!!! I used Raspberry Fizz cardstock from PTI for my card base. I pulled out a die that I got in a $25 goodie box from Amber Kemp-Gerstel to make the holes in the second layer. I finished off the card by stamping flowers from The Sweet Life and the sentiment is from the Scripted stamp set, both from PTI. Although this card is simple, I can see myself making lots of these in a rainbow of colors. 

Well, I hope your Monday is off to a great start and thank you so much for stopping by!
