Just in case anyone has signed up to receive updates by email, I want to let you know I'm finally settled into one place! I've compiled most of my Stampin' Up! blogging over the years into ONE easy to remember blog. It's fun to see the progression throughout the past 10 years. It was also fun to see all my journaling/blogging/pictures from the years I slowed down on the stamping to have my sweet babies. They are my world. Anyway, you can NOW and PERMANENTLY find me at either www.redhotstampers.com or www.krystalroberts.blogspot.com . Both addresses lead you to the same place.
Also, I will be finishing up the past few months of Paper Pumpkin case inserts this weekend and will post them as soon as I am done! Monday at the latest. I believe that will include December, January, AND February if it comes before then! (Maybe it's waiting for me now! Better go check!)
Thanks again for stopping by, and for all your patience. I promise I won't move again!!! (Unless I'm forced to.)

Bonjour birthday girl!
Remember that one time I said I was going to make a big stack of birthday cards from the It's My Party DSP stack so I'd never send a late card again? Yeah...it hasn't happened yet, so this card is late! But it's CLOSE! I'm sending it to my awesome Mom ON her birthday. (And she loves me just the way I am, so she won't mind that it's late. Anyway, it'll still be her birthday week, so technically it's not late. Right?)
Oh Sale-a-Bration how we LOVE you!!!! The beautiful Wildflower Fields paper (AND the stamps were free products from this years Sale-a-Bration! Technically, it's two different stamp sets because I got it in both English and French. Even my non-French speaking friends and family understand a few words like bonjour or merci, so I like to get both languages just for fun. :)
I stamped in Versamark and embossed in gold. (Yes I'm obsessed.) I thought the vellum was perfect for highlighting "bonjour" and not hiding all that beautiful paper! Cuz if I'm gonna cut into that gorgeous stuff, I am NOT hiding it! haha!
I added a few fun flowers with the new blossom bunch punch to soften it just a little and added a metal rimmed pearl to the center of each one.
The inside is also embossed with a great sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes set. (What else do you say to the best Mom in the world???) I love that script/brush lettering! And even better that it's not EXACTLY like the lettering on the front. Definitely gives it more of a handmade feel. :)
Maybe I'll make a stack of these without the birthday sentiments to have on hand for every occasion. (After I get that stack of birthday cards ready...of course.) It's a great layout to use with all different kinds of DSP!

What's a Birthday Without CAKE???
I love, love, LOVE the new It's My Party collection from Stampin' Up! My goal is to use it all up and make a STASH of birthday cards so I'll never send one late again! The colors work for anyone. You can make it super girly with the melon mambo, or use the mint macaron or delightful dijon for a more masculine touch. I made this one for my younger brother who was turning 35. Dang. That sounds so old!
I FINALLY got to use that cute party hat in the hostess set Silhouettes and Scripts from the annual catalog. The new bakers twine makes a cute pom-pom topper.
The front was pretty simple, so I made sure to carry the design to the inside of the card.
LOVE the new Wink of Stella brushes! Just brush it directly on your stamp and you've got some sparkle! (This was the gold pen.)
