Saying Farewell to Made to Bloom

So, Stampin' Up! kits are wonderful!  We've been focusing a lot these past months on #simplestamping and these hit that nail on the head.  Each catalog we offer several different kits and there is always at least one that I love and this past annual catalog it was Made to Bloom! These are perfect for beginners - but still beautiful enough for the avid stamper.

I loved this one so much that I offered two classes with it and my customers loved it too - here's a peek at the card bases and envelope colors.

The fun thing about this kit is that after you make up all the cards you can put them in this beautiful fold up plastic box with the included belly band and it's ready for gift giving.

Below you can see the back and the detail printed on the box.

Here is card 1 from the all inclusive set, which includes several different amazing sentiments.

Here is card design 2 -

and card design 3 -

The kit makes 12 full size cards - 4 each of the 3 designs - and all 12 fit in the box when completed - though you could keep a few for yourself :)  I hope you enjoyed seeing these, and if you'd like to own this kit - get it now, as it is only available while supplies last and the SU site says supplies are low!  ~Maureen

More Farewell Fun!

Well first I wanted to share this lovely card that Heidi gave Paul and I for our anniversary.  She just has such a talent for making cards - love them all!!

Then here is the card she made me for my farewell party.  It is really cool just the way it is ... but watch...

When you open it the camera panel pops up through an opening in the front of the card - so great!!

Here's another fantastic card I received from my downline Toni - who couldn't make the party!

Heidi walked in with these goodies -

Inside the bucket - a vase of beautiful flowers, yummy caramel candies and of course.... COFFEE!!

By the time we took this picture several people had left - but this was part of our group.  Thank you all again for such a wonderful send-off!

Last Friday several ladies in my downline (and formerly in my downline) threw a little farewell get-together for me.  Kathy B. opened her home and everyone brought amazing food.  The wine and laughs flowed freely.  There are pictures coming in the future - but for now I wanted to share some of the great cards I received.

Diane's Card

Kandi's Card

Karen O's Card

Kathy W's card - I know it's Christmas - lol.  But she said she can't make a Christmas card without thinking of me.  For the last several years I have done a monthly Christmas card class and she has made it to many of them.

 It was such fun time with an amazing group of women.  Stop back soon to see more of the wonderful cards!  See you soon!  ~Maureen
