Coffee Cafe' Gift Card Holder

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend as I know I did.  On Saturday I watched my 3 year old twin grandsons play T-Ball.  Of course one was not happy because he wanted to keep the ball but they both did very well hitting the ball with the bat.  Then from their little game I walked to another field to watch my 9 year old grandson play ball.  I got a great video of him sliding into home plate.  Sunday was a potluck get together at my daughters in-laws.  She could not have asked for better in-laws.  They have a huge porch and backyard and do many gatherings there.  I of course ate way to much but when everything looks so good you have to try a little of everything including deserts.  It makes my heart happy to be able to sit back and watch all the kids/Grandkids running around playing and having their Easter egg hunt.  It brings back memories of my own kids doing the same only then it was me hiding the Easter eggs.

I did make it home in time to do my Sunday night Facebook live video.  I wanted to be sure to get the message across that many items and some major items are going to be retiring from our annual catalog.  I hope you enjoy the video.  Remember you too could win 3 free cards just by watching on Sunday evenings and sharing my video.  My Facebook page is Delightful Fun.  Like my page and join me every Sunday night at 8 central time.

Easter Greetings Card

Happy Monday to everyone.  I had a great weekend with a Saturday full of Stampin' Up! events held by my #1 upline Jennifer Cotton.  I am so glad to be part of her team.  Now I am anxious for this coming weekend which is the On Stage Event.  I will be going to the one being held in San Antonio.  For those of you who don't know about Stampin' Up! twice a year there is an On Stage (convention) to introduce new catalogs coming out.  There is a lot of learning, a lot of fun and a lot of free new stuff.  We all love free stuff!!!  The "Live On Stage" is held in different places with Local On Stages in other locations.  Last October I was lucky enough to go to Orlando, Florida for  Stampin' Up!'s 30th Anniversary/Birthday On Stage.  As always, it was great.  Starting April 11th through the 13th the Live On Stage will be in Auckland, New Zealand with one day On Stage Locals in New Jersey, North Carolina, Minnesota, Utah, Texas, 2 in Canada, 2 in Germany, France, United Kingdom, Asia and Japan.  You may want to sign up as a demonstrator so that you can enjoy the fun and freebees too!

Easter will be here in just a couple of weeks.  So last night my live Facebook video (which I do every Sunday night at 8:00 Central Time) was on an Easter Card.  It is a simple fast card using a few different stamp sets.  I love how you can use a stamp from this set and a stamp from that set to get what you want.

Underneath the video I will list what I used.  It will be linked to my Stampin' Up! page just in case you would like to order it.  FYI, the new catalog will be coming out in June and these stamp set may retire and not be in the new catalog, so if you want them you better be on the safe side and order them now.

If you would like to sign up as a demonstrator and join my group, the Delightful Fun Stampers, you can go to this link to do so.

You can be a hobbyist and get a discount on your items or make it a business and earn extra income, even free trips.

And if you would like to watch my live Facebook videos on Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. (central time), you can find me on my Delightful Fun page.

A Note For You Card

If anyone watches my live videos on Sunday nights, you will already know how I messed up the whole thing by my last two words.  If you don't already know you will see it in the video below but I will tell you now anyways.  I said "Love You!" at the end of my video and once I had said it and hit the end button I realized what I had done and there was no going back or no explaining that my daughters and my sister were watching and I was talking back and forth with them and I always tell them that when talking on the phone so it was just a natural reaction.  I didn't stop to think about how many other people would be watching.  I have some splaining to do Lucy on my next video.

With that being said, here is the card I did last night.  I have to give credit to Dawn Olehefske @ Do Stamping With Dawn because I CASED (copied) this card from her.  I changed the stripe on the side from Washi Tape to a 1/2" strip of Wood Textures Paper and I didn't have the Copper Metallic Thread so I used Gold.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week.
