Celebrating 6!

June 11, 2016

Nicholas is six! Time is turning and passing by so quickly. We held a outdoor sprinkler birthday party him. Nic invited his entire kindergarten class and we ended up with 16 little kiddos. It was a crazy blast and I think the kids had a good time. I wasn't able to take many photos, my phone is totally dead, let's just say a water accident. I was able to take a few photos with my loaner phone and I scraped together these photos from Ben's and Chris' phones.

We purchased a blow up water slide (figured we use it all summer) and provided the kids with squirt guns and let them at it. They played and played. Andrew and Ben helped supervise and keep the mayhem at a minimum.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS! We sure love you.

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies!

Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list. Stampin’ Positioner tool coming May 5th #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels

Hey Chick! I used the sketch from #gdp542 as a starting point for creating this simple card. The cute chick does all the work, like usual! Play along with @global_design_project and create a project from our challenge sketch. The little chick image is from the Easter Basket stamp set. The greeting is from the Sending Salutations stamp set. #stampinup #easterbasketstampset #cardmaking
