I made a card for my other daughter today. No birthday, but a special day non the less.
It’s her first day as a junior at University of California Los Angeles. She’s been there as a freshman and sophomore, but, it is still a lonnnng way from home!
So this is for her –
Notice the colors??? Almost spot on Stampin’ Up!
I used those nifty Little Letter Thinlits we have. And, I went rouge – without the Magnetic Platform!! I think I did pretty good. Sometimes these letters shift or move on the magnet, so I just decided to go free with them. It’s ‘pretty’ straight.
It is a simple card as she is not into all the fuss and fluff. Some retired ribbon helped to add a little color.
And, hard to see in the picture, but I colored the letters with a glittery gel pen. Here is an up close photo –
For a subtle pop on the card. It just needed that little somethin somethin!
Well sunshine, have a great day, and, a great year!!!

Today I’m sharing a really fun, bright and cheery card from my August Card Buffet this past weekend.
This would be great for just about anyone young or old. See for yourself –
Fun, right?
I loved it! Of course it was a very popular card on the Buffett too.
I was on the fence about these new Star Framelits. I saw sooo many wonderful ideas with them – I broke down and just had to have them. No regrets. They are a great staple to have in your collection (I know, lots of things in the staple collection…).
This card had NO stamping, did you notice? I designed this card originally without a sentiment. I was thinking ‘I’ll find one that works...’. Wrong. So, that’s when I added the Silver Foil Little Letters Thinlits.
The number ‘2’ came from the File Tab Edgelits. Perfect for this.
Thanks for stopping by today. I’d love to know what you think of my card!
In case you’re wondering, I post the whole Card Buffet picture on my Facebook page the Friday of the Buffet. Go check it out if you are interested.
Happy Stampin’
