An Open Heart

Hello stampers!

Can you believe it?  There is another update on the Butterfly Thinlits:

We have received notice from our supplier that the container with the Butterflies Thinlits Dies was finally unloaded from the ship; however, there is a shortage of trucks, which has delayed the container being picked up. We have secured a truck to pick up the container, and, as of now, it is scheduled to be delivered to Stampin' Up! on Friday. We will post an update as soon as they are available.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to await their arrival!

But, if you are waiting to order these, the specials will still be available as soon as the Thinlits are in stock!

For today's card, I recently saw the background technique for this card online and had to give it a try.   Take an acrylic block, color it with a the Stampin' Write markers of your choice, spritz with water and "stamp" on cardstock.  So easy, and every background is uniquely yours!
