OMG! Springtime blizzards everywhere! This weekend is Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage Local events throughout the country. My friends and I are heading to Minneapolis today (hopefully). I’m writing this post on Wednesday evening while watching the blizzard here in Denver out my windows. I’m also keeping tabs on the weather report for Minneapolis because….yep….they’ve got a blizzard too! Sheesh!
Update: It’s Thursday morning now and yes, our flight got cancelled but we are all on flights tomorrow. The weather is suppose to clear in MN in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed!
With all of these spring blizzards I definitely think we all need to dream about a warm, sunny beach somewhere…preferably with a nice cold fruity drink! That’s where today’s card come’s in. The Beach Happy stamp set is perfect for helping us to imagine that we’re on that warm sunny beach instead of shoveling snow in April!
The palm trees were what hooked me on this stamp set. I have this thing about stamp sets with trees. I can’t seem to get enough of them. Weird, I know. The great thing about this stamp set is that it’s photopolymer and tree trunks and the palm fronds are separate stamps. There is only one tree trunk stamp in the set but did you notice how my palm trees face different ways? That’s the beauty of photopolymer…it’s bendable! I just curved the stamp on the block in different ways when I stamped the two trees. Tricky, huh? 😀
The stamp set has some cute sayings in it. Besides the “Wishing you sunny days” there is also “Don’t worry Beach Happy” as well as “Relax, you deserve it” and “Thanks”. You’ll also find a beach chair, a beach umbrella, beach bag and sun hat. What more do you need?
I do wish you all sunny days….especially today if you’re in blizzard territory. Keep your fingers crossed for my friends and me that we make it to Minneapolis. If not, I won’t be able to fill you in on the fabulous new catalog and upcoming new products! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
