Imagine The Possibilities

Imagine the possibilities!!

I've always loved the stamp set Eastern Blooms, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to sell it.  Add a little bling and you've got a bright fun card!!

Palm Tree Birthday Card

My sister and I love, and I mean LOVE the beach!!!  We live in landlocked states, but try to take vacations to beaches whenever possible.  I saw a super cute card while scrolling through pinterest one day and saved it.  Because I just knew it would make the perfect birthday card for her.  I do want to give credit to Jenny Engelke @ GiddyStamper for the idea!  My sister loved her card, and I loved creating it for her.

I decided to take a much needed vacation in April and since no one could go with me, I went by myself.  Was I nervous about it?  Heck yes!  But I think this will be something I can do more and more in the future.  It was so freeing to only worry about what I wanted to do.  I stayed busy the whole time and enjoyed every second of it!

Since I was taking a super early flight to get outta dodge, I asked a friend, who lived about an hour closer to the airport than myself, if I could crash at her house the night before.  She was soooo sweet!  She left me these adorable little pillow gifts...

Isn't she such a sweetheart?  She does nails part time and the items on the pillow in the middle are nail decals.  They are so stinking cute!  I have just loved using them.  And couldn't appreciate her more for her kindness and hospitality.  So I decided to make her a cute card with a gift card to Kneaders.  I remembered someone posting a picture using the owl punch to make nail polish bottles.  So I set out to find it again.
Dianne Sisneros does some awesome work with punch art!!  Click here to see her sample and other cute punch art cards.  I took her punch art idea and put my own spin on it.  Here is the result!

What do you think?  I think it turned out pretty cute!!  I used mainly retired Stampin' Up! products I had on hand.  But you can easily re-create your own!
