Vacation Summer Smooches

As we're packing and getting ready for vacation, I'm thinking of bright colors, beachy breezes, sun tans (not sun burns) and zero alarms.  Let's just say vacation can't come quick enough.  This was inspired by a card that was on a display board at a Remarkable team meeting.

Chirstmas in July?

Sure!  Why Not! I know so many of you are enjoying your summer vacations, getting ahead of the game working on your holiday gifts and preparations!  This is a rather simple card; the big shot does all the work! This is my first card with the awesome new embossing folders.  Love them!

Summer Starfruit

It is NOT baby poop.  Summer Starfruit is a great color that was missing from the color families.  I've digitally compared the colors here.  So days it looks more green and some days it looks more yellow.  I tend to use it as a yellow, pairing it with blues and grays.  

It's Club Time.  See page 152 of the NEW catalog.  This Color Club will run each month.  Join in as you want!  Deadline for ordering SUMMER STARFRUIT is July 10th.  Color club orders will receive:

• Classic Ink Pad, Summer Starfruit
• Classic Refill,  Summer Starfruit
• 8-1/2"x11" cardstock,  Summer Starfruit
• 3/8" stitched satin ribbon,  Summer Starfruit
• 4 sheets of 6"x6" DSP (patterns may vary) 
• Four card kits
  

Card kits will include items such as any other cardstock, DSP, brads, pieces and parts required to complete the samples. Kits do not include a stamp set nor can I send you stamped images.  The samples will be printed and included in your kit.  There are not step-by-step instructions; rather pictures of the completed project and dimensions if you need to cut your own  Summer Starfruit ribbon, DSP and cardstock.  Projects will emphasize the color of the month.  No need to purchase the identical stamp - the samples will illustrate at least two versions of the same card.  Pricing includes $5.15 shipping directly to your house! 

This is over a $45 value that I'm offering to YOU for $32 ($26.85 local pickup only)!  Club ships no later than July 25th!  You can add in-color markers or other items to your club order!

Purchase all 5 2012-2014 in-colors and you'll receive the in-color dahlias FREE as my gift to you during month #5.  I'll keep track for you - if you earn this gift!
