Trendy Trees Manly Birthday Card

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful week. We a having a wonderful week. We are going to spend some time with my brothers and all of their little ones this weekend.

I have a new video for you today. I needed a masculine card...which are always a little challenging. I know that the man I was making this for would really appreciate the tree theme, so I decided to use the Trendy Trees stamp set. It's a great little stamp set and I think it doesn't get nearly enough use.

Don't forget that today, July 1, 2010, the new Stampin Up catalog is available. You can head on over to my Stampin Up site to check it out! www.carissawiley.stampinup.net. I am really excited about this new catalog. There are lot a of fun new things, including all the new color collections and coordinating accessories. I love the new stamp sets too! All of the new stamp sets are available in clear mount as well as wood mount. That means you can choose which fits your stamping style and budget the best. I am a clear mount girl myself, but if you prefer the traditional wood mount, you can get that too. Isn't that great?

Enjoy your day! Have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July. Celebrate your freedom. Freedom is such a precious gift! It has cost many men and women their lives. I hope you celebrate freedom in your own special way! My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all the men and women who have sacrificed their time and their lives in order to guarantee my freedom.
