The two longest days of the week are over! Manhattan was just lovely once again, sunny and really warm! I got in early and went for a walk over to the Apple Store on 14th Street to have a look round. After I was finished I went back to The Ink Pad and finally caught up on my comments! I feel so much better! Barbara and I had a good day, we cycled between having the door open and the air conditioner on! I got the same train out to Babylon as I did yesterday and Brian was waiting at the station for me. We had Taco Bell for dinner and class was fun once again! When I got home I had a cup of coffee and then ran over to see my friend Louis for a bit. I got back to my house around 11:45 and made my card for today. This morning I’m off to Manhattan again to spend the day with Barbara! YAY!
I really liked using the Fresh Cut Florals Set so I decided to use it again. My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The photo frame is from the Heidi Swapp Photo Frames Memory Planner Collection and is adhered to the card with Tombo Dot Runner Adhesive. I die cut all of my flowers and leaves using the W Plus 9 Fresh Cut Florals Dies and then stamped them with Simon Says Stamp Rosie Cheeks, Teeny Bikini, Hot Mama, Jellybean and Green Apple Ink using the Fresh Cut Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped on a strip of Solar White 80lb in Onyx Black. I adhered it to the card over the frame with Foam Tape. After arranging my flowers and leaves I picked them up with Press n Seal and added Multi-Matte Medium and Foam Tape to the back and then adhered them over the frame too. A few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins are added for some sparkle and the card is done! I really do love that W Plus 9 set and I can’t believe how long it has taken me to use it! I hope that you enjoy today’s card! Thanks for stopping by and have a stupendous Saturday! 🙂

Hi Justin,
I just love this card!! It is simple but so beautiful! Perfect for a thinking of you card. Those sequins always give your cards a special touch.

Hello Gerri!
Thank you! I needed something quick at 12:30 last night! I do love those flowers and still don’t know why it took me so long to use! You have a super weekend! 🙂
Sweet! I love that little frame!
Thanks Sandy! Have a good day! 🙂
Wonderful card today, Justin. I love the black and white frame with the colorful flowers and the cute font of the sentiment. Have a great Saturday!
Thank you HJ! I think those frames are neat too! And they were on clearance! You have a wonderful Saturday too! 🙂
An adorable card–and I can’t believe you still have the creative juice to make it at 11.45 pm after such a full day. Go you!
Thank you Leah! My card is my favorite part of the day! 🙂
HI Justin:
Sounds like you are having a blast. Good for you! This card is really impressive. Wish you did videos as I just don’t get the “press n seal” thing. Since I’m a visual learner maybe I should Google that and see if there is a video on it. Hmmm, good idea Grace! LOL The card is really an eye catcher. I love the dramatic effect of so much white space which truly emphasizes the images. You have yourself a Stupendous Saturday my friend! Luv and hugs, XXOO 🙂
Hello Grace!
I am having fun but I need a rest! I’m tired! LOL! Glad that you like the card! I will see what I can do about a video! I really do need to do some kind of video! I hope that you too have a stupendous Saturday!! Love and hugs! XOXO 🙂
Simple,fun, love the frame. OMG your exhausting me, but it sounds like alot of fun. Mojo found me thus far. finished my posting for my DT position so I’m thrilled and made a fun card for no reason. I think I need to practice water coloring tonight.
Thank you Linda! It is exhausting but definitely fun! Look at you go! I need to be that productive today! Hope that you had fun watercoloring! 🙂
