This is one of the new kits in the new Spring Occasions catalog. A couple of the cards were very small so I recreated them a bit to make them a normal size card. It was very quick to put these together and it included 4 watercolor pencils of which 2 were new colors for us. They are just beautiful.

This paper has flecks or spots of gold foil on it. The piece below with hearts has some little gold hearts on it. It was a winner, he loved it.

So when the new 2017 Holiday Catalog came out I had to buy this stamp set right away as my husbands birthday was coming up shortly after. I used something similar to this card for him. Believe it or not it actually is a Christmas stamp set but can be used for so much more. In the next day or two I will show you a little box I made with the same set but unfortunately the chocolates that were in them are gone.
Stampin' Up! Products Used: Half Full stamp set, Fresh Fig cardstock, Sahara Sand cardstock, Basic Rhinestones (colored with retired Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities), Aqua Painter, Paper Snips, Tranquil Tide Classic Stamp pad, Fresh Fig Classic Stamp pad, Fresh Fig 1/8" Sheer Ribbon.

Love this card which was a partial case of one I found on Pinterest. It came together quite easily and used one of our clear blocks to make the background sky and ground for the card. I can't remember at the time which ink color I used for the sky but either Pool Party or Soft Sky would work.

So this is a combination of a couple cards I saw on Pinterest plus a little change I made. I made this card back in May so now as I look at it, it looks like someone is sitting on the sidelines at a football field having a drink. A summer drink sounds really good right now.
