Pop of Paradise

I LOVE Flamingos!  I can’t seem to get enough of them!  I’m not sure why.  I was so excited yesterday.  I was walking around Kohl’s thinking I could probably use a new nightgown and what did I come across?  A navy blue nightgown with pink flamingos on it!  Woo Hoo!  My day was made!  🙂

Another exciting thing is that the Pop of Paradise stamp set and this adorable flamingo will be in the new catalog!  Yeah!  Guess what?  There is another flamingo stamp set in the new catalog too!  How great is that?!  It’s a 3-step stamping set and it’s not quite as whimsical as this one.  Don’t worry…you’ll be seeing samples with it because it will definitely be one of the first stamp sets I will purchase!

Do you want to know a sneaky little trick I used when stamping the flamingo?  I inked up the whole stamp with Flirty Flamingo ink.  Then I simply took my Basic Black Marker and colored the beak and the legs….right over the pink ink!  Don’t you love quick tricks like this?

Do you have the Petal Burst Embossing Folder?  It’s another favorite of mine.  It makes the greatest background for any kind of card!  I’m thinking I’m going to have to start a special post on Fridays….Friday Favorites.  It will be the perfect way to share my favorite products with you….of course I’ll probably never run out since I have so many favorite things!  Ha!

Have a wonderful day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

I LOVE Flamingos!  I have no clue why they appeal to me other than they’re PINK! Ha!  I knew this would be the very first stamp set that I purchased from the 2016-2017 Catalog and it was!

Did you know that there is a whole suite of products that COORDINATE with this stamp set?  Yep.  There’s the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper (used on this card) and the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape along with Baker’s Twine in both Melon Mambo and Basic Black.  So many great products and they come in my favorite color Melon Mambo!

This was one of the cards that we made at my Catalog Launch Open House this weekend.  People could come make four cards for free and check out many of the new products first hand.  Everyone had a good time and they loved the cards we made.  #6monthstampingoals

My birthday is in about a month and I’m throwing myself a Flamingo Bingo Birthday Bash!  Sounds like fun doesn’t it?  We’ll be playing Bingo for Stampin’ Up! prizes!  Now I just need to find all sorts of flamingo things to decorate with!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
