Getting ready for BUNCO!

I’ve been stamping getting ready for my big BUNCO night tonight.  I wanted to put something fun on the tables so I came up with these cute topiary thingies.  Not sure if that is what they are called but it sounds good to me.  I guess we could call them basket with foam thingies and a stick! LOL!

I used my new Baskets and Blooms die cut and then painted a foam ball pink with Acrylic pink.  For the top portion that is stuck on a stick I used my Top Note die cut on a piece of chipboard.  I was silly gigglie when I rolled that thru!!!  It cut that chipboard soooooooo easy.  YIPPIE!  Then I just did the same die with the Bella DSP.  Isn’t that cute?  Well I couldn’t stop there.  I then used the cool Go Go Boots Alphabet dies to cut out Bunco.  Then I just tied a pretty ribbon on it and VIOLA! I’m proud of it.  LOL!

Above are the door prizes that I made for my bunco night.  Some have just candy pieces in them.  Some have something EXTRA special in them.  Boy, can’t wait to start rolling the dice. 

Now for the card.  One of my favorite things to do each month is make my monthly downline cards.  This month was no exception.  I love sending cards to my downline.  For this one I tried to tie in a lot of fun elements, yet the card is still simple.  I used the Top Note die cut for the focal point on the card and stamped our new Statement of the Heart stamp onto it.  I added a little fun ribbon and then lastly used our anniversary embosslit to add just a little more kick.  I thought this was a perfect card for my fabulous downline. 

Oh, and lastly… GO USA!  I love the Olympics.  What a proud night for Americans.  Whooo Hooo!!  That Micheal Phelps is AWESOME!
