Creation Station Happy New To You Blog Hop

Good Sunday morning and Happy New Year! It is downright chilly this morning, woke up to -6 degrees (Fahrenheit) with a wind chill of -12. Apparently at some point our power must have went out because I woke up to the TV off ( I sleep with it on), the fire siren going off in town and the Christmas tree lights on. It was a good thing though because I needed to get up so to type up my post. 

I am so excited for the January-June Mini Catalog!! You only have about 36-48 Hours until you will be able to shop all of these amazingness! Today I am hopping with my friends on the Creation Station Design Team and we are hopping with the theme "Happy New To You" and I couldn't wait to ink up the upcoming punch bundle Cactus Cuties! 

This great little bundle features a Cactus Builder Punch and a great photopolymer stamp set. Although I decided that I needed a bit of different sentiment. Enough about that, lets take a look at the full card, did I mention its a slimline?

So this fabulous slimline card started with an amazing base of Granny Apple Green. My Basic White layer is stamped using the Cactus Cuties stamp set. I have used Granny Apple Green and Soft Seafoam inks. I also added a few Magenta Madness cactus flowers from the Cactus Builder Punch. I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to create some fun splatters on the card. We all know how much I love funny sayings, and a shirt I saw on a website recently had a cluster of cactus and it said "Not A Hugger"... As does this fun card! I have used the Playful Alphabet dies to die cut the Basic Black letters that are accented with a bit of Clear Wink of Stella.  To finish this fun slimline card it is accented with a few of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I am so glad that you stopped by today! I sure hope you are warming than we are here! Next on the hop is Barb Pfeffer and you can get to her by clicking the next button below!
