This adorable piggy card was made using new dies available for customers tomorrow during the “perfect partners” promotion (Sept 1-30, 2022). I love the bright, cheerful colors that just lend itself to happiness. In my opinion, “enjoy the ride” is the ideal (birthday) life sentiment.

This sentiment echoes my heart today–first day of school here. I am now the mother of a high school senior, a high school freshman, and a sixth grader. I’m so proud of each one of my kids. I truly hope they know how special and loved they are, and that I am undoubtedly their biggest fan! Good luck to ALL this school year!

These lovely cards were designed by various Stampin’ Up! demonstrators during an exciting online crafting event called “creativity now”. It was such a wonderful way to showcase talent, view the new “splendid day suite” in action, and gather together with my Stampin’ Up! family for a little fun time! I thoroughly enjoyed making these cards with other demonstrators around the country, while comfortably crafting in my own little studio at home.
