Mouthwatering Birthday

Could summer be here?  I hope so as I now have the deck clean, the patio furniture is out and the flowers are planted.  Bring it on!

The new 2012- 2013 Stampin' Up! catalogue will launch June 1st.  It is packed with new goodies, from stamps to papers, to punches to die cuts.  

Also the new style ink pads will be available for order on June 1st and these ink pads feature the foam pad and with very little effort, you can ink up your stamps.  These pads also come with sticky labels in different languages and I used the extras to attach to the front and inside so that you can quickly see what colour you are using.  

The ink takes a bit longer to dry that the ones we are currently using, so patience is the key!!  Give the ink a few minutes to dry.

My card for you today is for Brody and it certainly says "Summer". What would summer be without Watermelon and Ice Cream.   OK, it also says Happy Birthday.

The stamps were coloured using the markers, stamped on Whisper White and then coloured using the Versamarker.  I was then able to heat emboss with the Scented Emboss Powder.  The scent will last up to 2 weeks.

The watermelon stamp also fits nicely into the 2-1/2" Circle punch and the Scallop Punch makes it look like someone has taken a bit. 

The seeds are made using the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.

Don't forget the retiring list!
