Welcome to my blog and 2021!! What a fun way to start off the year- celebrating birthdays! I fell in love with the Flowering Cactus Medley in Stampin' Up!'s January-June mini catalog. So much so that I planned a weekend retreat for it this weekend!
These Love You Always treat boxes (Item #154285) also drew my eye, so combining the two makes an adorable combo! The cacti are so easy to stamp-- I did the rock and roll technique with Mint Macaron and then rolled the edges in Highland Heather ink! And the matching dies make cutting the cacti and the DSP with the preprinted images SO easy!

But you seriously have to see these boxes to appreciate how big they are! They fit a Perfectly Posh Chunk Bar-- which are HUGE!!
For my card project I used the new Blending Brushes on some Shimmery White cardstock with the colors Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, and Mango Melody for the background. You can see a video on my Facebook page here! I really love this card! Hope you do too! If you like that video- consider joining me- I do a live demonstration every Wednesday at 7pm Central.
Don't forget to keep hopping along as I can't wait to see what our Stampin' Friends have in store to celebrate birthdays!
