This year has really flown by! I had such a fantastic Stampin’ Up! year that was full of firsts. I was able to attend my first local OnStage held in Las Vegas this April and then in November I traveled to Orlando for the big OnStage event, did my first Facebook Live, started my blog, and created my website – to name a few of the big ones.

I also began Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Support Program that led to participating in Blog Hops and the Random Act of Kindness Facebook group.

This is the Random Act of Kindness card I sent this month. I love the sentiment from the Just for Hosts ‘Warm Hearted’ stamp set in the 2018 Holiday catalog (January 2nd is the last day to order from the 2018 Holiday Catalog).

I love using the Aqua Painter to add a watercolor look to regular Whisper White cardstock. Just be careful to not add too much water or the cardstock will pill.

Adding the Champagne Mist Shimmer paint to your card front gives it a lovely sparkle that works with both the lighter and darker color washes.
