#stampinup #faithfulinkspirations A friend and I were talking today about how people with positive attitudes can handle most anything life throws them. I used to tell my kids–after we’d fought about school clothes, teeth brushing, and homework–that when we stepped out of the house, we could choose what kind of day we would have. I told them they could continue to be grumpy or they could choose to be happy. It was up to them. But I was going to choose to be happy.
I think I have a positive attitude most of the time. I’m not saying that I exude joy and happiness, because anyone who knows me would dispute that. But I do choose to see the positives in most situations (after I get over my pity party). Maybe I’m just pragmatic. It is what it is, let’s just deal with it and go on.
Anyway, I like to see the good stuff in life and not dwell on the bad stuff. Today’s card is a positive card that I think anyone would enjoy receiving–for their birthday or just for a little pick-me-up.
I made this card as my swap for the Proverbial Stampers team meeting. I needed something quick and easy because I needed to make a dozen cards quickly.
I started by stamping a sentiment from “Picture Perfect Birthday” in Basic Black Archival Ink onto a 3-3/4″ by 5″ Whisper White panel. I stamped the bow in Pacific Point and the bow’s shadows in Dapper Denim. I ran the bottom half of the panel through the Big Shot with the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.
I wrapped a length of Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel before adhering it to a 3-7/8″ by 5-1/8″ Basic Black mat and then onto a Pacific Point Card Stock card base.
I added three Pool Party Tutti-Frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish the card with some bling.
Let’s all celebrate the good stuff in our lives!
