Happy Birthday with Confetti Wishes

I have a clean and simple birthday card for you today.  I'm using some items that will be expiring the end of this month and using the sentiment from what just might be my favorite hostess stamp set.

The paper is from the Confetti Wishes paper packet that will be expiring July 31st!  So if you love it - buy it now. 

There are a couple different stamp sets being used here.  The banner was created using the All the Details stamp set along with the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection to cut out the shapes.  I love the way the stamp set includes the size and page number for the shape.  The banner is "strung" using one of our ShinHan markers.  This stamp set is also expiring the end of July.  The sentiment is stamped with Lagoon exclusive ink using the Tagged with Love hostess stamp set!

For the whole month of July we are running an awesome promotion.  Spend $25 in stamps and get the July SOTM FREE or any of the exclusive hostess stamp sets for only $5! 

To see if full list of what will be retiring the end of this month go to My Website and choose the "Retiring Items" link on the left hand side of the page. 


Below is the full Tagged with Love hostess stamp set.  The tag sizes in this set also go so well with many of our other stamp sets including sentiments.  It would be super cute to throw together a quick tag to add to a birthday gift in a bag!

Decorated Card Box

Happy Sunday Funday!  I have been wanting to play with one of the Close To My Heart Journaling Boxes for a while now and finally found a time to get it done!  I was actually sitting at the Eaton Days craft fair last weekend and took the supplies with me to put it together during the slow time.  It was fun. 

I'm thinking about making a couple more boxes for Christmas gifts and putting cards in them.  They fit the 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 cards just perfectly.  I can see these boxes looking super cute in Halloween colors or Christmas colors. 

 
I love the way the lid on the box is magnetic.

Air Fryer Roasted Jalepenos

Whenever we are grilling dinner, Mark will throw a few whole jalapenos on the grill to have them with whatever we are having.   On this day ...
