And, no, it's not the first Saturday of the month. I am here with a rare mid-month, non-SAS4Kids post. :)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The truth is I stopped blogging during the pandemic because I had pretty much lost my crafting mojo. While I envied friends who were finding some joy inking up and getting crafty, that wasn't the case for me. And then, like many folks, my priorities changed post pandemic. Yes, I've still been busy making cards... but I have gotten away from blogging about them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But a funny thing happened this past weekend while making a new home card for some friends. Not only did I make a card that I really, really like, I found out there's a <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blogs/news/2023-superstar-contest-announcement">Card Design Superstar Contest</a> going on over at My Favorite Things. Moreover, it turns out this tweet card -- sorry, I couldn't help myself -- seems to meet the criteria.</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">MFT Pattern Paper: Tiny Check</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">MFT Stamps: Tweet Greetings</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">MFT Die-Namics:</span></li><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Branch & Leaves: Beautiful Branch</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Birdhouse Hanger: Filled with Joy</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Birds and Birdhouse: a retired set gifted to me years ago</span></li></ul></ul><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">So, without further ado, here's my tweet housewarming card.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEApRnnMb0BZu4Ua-RSFjLMy9WafkSNUTZrkKwPaLx9n4D65tZRyw4-J8GxJ9K2ROI7z6UFYgnpx83l04XTUAj-eLnexAKIoVHFEkSznR85KndYQv6EvU7L4tRBorGIqBYaejGqmsaMGBFvLRqV5jnPgVWtcNqG1sl6WiChxgdMnnDTCn1CHDLSvREzbI/s2820/mft%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2820" data-original-width="2279" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEApRnnMb0BZu4Ua-RSFjLMy9WafkSNUTZrkKwPaLx9n4D65tZRyw4-J8GxJ9K2ROI7z6UFYgnpx83l04XTUAj-eLnexAKIoVHFEkSznR85KndYQv6EvU7L4tRBorGIqBYaejGqmsaMGBFvLRqV5jnPgVWtcNqG1sl6WiChxgdMnnDTCn1CHDLSvREzbI/w324-h400/mft%201.jpg" width="324" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilZoK1YU4ZwPPjUojag6M1pZLeHf7wxu1AqSC8mQpfuzrL6L0ySTQXyQfY0qZ_D8c4nmmCYPCM5M6Vhg2GiHirQj6CPAXNDqPS9Q9wub2a7UemWfqfV_xqhfWvQxTeIDlmzY_ssiUmkOrqlJ7m-ECc17iP99gibP1mTB3musTyq_GrAhFF4mB51opHdHs/s1453/mft%202.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1453" data-original-width="1319" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilZoK1YU4ZwPPjUojag6M1pZLeHf7wxu1AqSC8mQpfuzrL6L0ySTQXyQfY0qZ_D8c4nmmCYPCM5M6Vhg2GiHirQj6CPAXNDqPS9Q9wub2a7UemWfqfV_xqhfWvQxTeIDlmzY_ssiUmkOrqlJ7m-ECc17iP99gibP1mTB3musTyq_GrAhFF4mB51opHdHs/w181-h200/mft%202.jpg" width="181" /></a></div><br />Ink and solid papers used:</span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Versamark onyx black</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Stampin' Up cardstock: base, birdhouse, birds Core'dinations core paper: blue mat behind MFT check Ranger Distress core paper: leaves Recollections value packs: branch, black mat behind MFT DCWV Glitter Mat Stack: birdhouse hanger</span> </li></ul></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Since my friends are moving into a brand spankin' new place, I thought I should add a little extra shimmer.

At <a href="https://sendasmile4kidschallenge.blogspot.com/">Send a Smile 4 Kids</a>, our focus turns to cute Fall/Halloween cards. These are fun, whimsical cards that family members and/or hospital staffers can give to kiddo/tween/teen hospitalized patients. The deadline for getting these cards to our shippers is early October. So, there really is no time like the present to ink up those pumpkins and cut out those leaves. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I found the dies to make this cute little mummy -- with wiggly legs!!! -- while shopping at a scrapbooking store last year with my friend Anna.

That's right, we are making cards for family and hospital staff to give to kids/tween/teen in-patients this coming holiday season.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So, I was crafting with a couple of friends earlier this year when Lori was making some adorable penguin cards... and making them a whole lot faster than I typically take. When I saw the punch and stamp set she was using, I decided that I needed to add these Stampin' Up! cuties to my stash. (Helpful Hint: The English-version stamp set was sold out... but not the French one. I mean, we all have sentiments we could use... right?!) The paper is holiday dp from My Favorite Things. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1YPOQvf5nGDb4zK66C8jytOlp2OmzJLbs826H9ovEfEvu0lvIiZRrmvglhLOJdVpnofxo4x2OSV_CJE6Ajci9IjTL25wHUXlgQEiA6Vjb0g493mIy2_rYzEOFtZu1l5hb5x2xADaREbBd22ISjFqRSAC2dsGbSnPBv584q8HaQCp3vQXKFRv3_8QBP0/s1777/sas%20july%202023%20option%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1777" data-original-width="1492" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1YPOQvf5nGDb4zK66C8jytOlp2OmzJLbs826H9ovEfEvu0lvIiZRrmvglhLOJdVpnofxo4x2OSV_CJE6Ajci9IjTL25wHUXlgQEiA6Vjb0g493mIy2_rYzEOFtZu1l5hb5x2xADaREbBd22ISjFqRSAC2dsGbSnPBv584q8HaQCp3vQXKFRv3_8QBP0/w336-h400/sas%20july%202023%20option%201.jpg" width="336" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hope you'll stop by <a href="https://sendasmile4kidschallenge.blogspot.com/">SAS4Kids</a> to see our DT's fun creations... and then stop back by to link up a card of your very own.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks for stopping.

I used it for last month's Mother's Day card. I used it again this month for a Dad/Guy card. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up stamp set, and the papers are leftover SU dsp.

They soon will be starting work on those Easter/Spring boxes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For my card, I inked up bunnies and carrots from my all-time Stampin' Up kid-friendly stamp set.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all those first responders coming to the aid of their neighbors.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This month, our SAS4Kids Designers are focusing on holiday and celebration cards 4 kids. You can see I chose a card that can be used for a birthday or a milestone achievement.

Thought we'd get a few of these on hand for our shippers before we start the push for Halloween and Christmas cards. (Just a clarification: If you are making thank you cards to send to a shipper, these are not cards to be given to the kids. These are cards for the kids and their families to give to nurses, doctors, hospital staffers... to anyone who has done something special for them.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">My card comes from a Stampin' Up! card kit. Thought an older patient might be attracted to the shiny elements and chose it to write a note of thanks to that someone special.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yyd6dr6QimM/YUZb42_KFsI/AAAAAAAAV7s/yjnQIF5v26gjsYWMULDLrLuEKyz-RySZgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1093/aug%2B2022.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="841" data-original-width="1093" height="308" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yyd6dr6QimM/YUZb42_KFsI/AAAAAAAAV7s/yjnQIF5v26gjsYWMULDLrLuEKyz-RySZgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h308/aug%2B2022.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">STAMPIN' UP: You Are Amazing project kit</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This month's challenge link is open until September 2 and any thank you card OR kiddo-appropriate card can be linked up.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As always, thanks for stopping.

I don't typically buy entire card kits. I might pick up an item or two. But this one stole my heart and my card is essentially a complete CASE of one of the MFT DT's cards.
