Use It Up Celebrate Today Balloon Framelits Birthday #2
Today's card is basically the same as yesterday's except the design on the balloon and the strings. Yes, I cut those out by hand! It's actually not that bad since it's all straight cuts.
I had some thin strips of the Designer Series Paper left, so this is what I did on the inside of both of these balloon cards:

Saying Goodbye
Instead of having the July Stamp-A-Stack this morning, I went to the funeral for Dean, one of John's friends. They used to drive for the same trucking company. He passed away on the 4th of July after his second battle with cancer. He was only 49. We miss you Scrapper!

Christmas In July With Moose!
I wasn't sure if I should title today's post Throwback Thursday or Christmas In July, because it's both! I found some pieces of retired Santa & Co Designer Series Paper in my stash and my first thought when I looked at the pieces with the moose was "Merry Christmoose!". That was the name of the first stamp set I bought from Stampin' Up! in 2000! These were fun to make, even though there isn't much stamping on them:
The inside, with the greeting from Merry Christmoose:
This last piece didn't have any green on it, so I put it on a yellow card base instead:
Inside:
This is the stamp set- my very favorite! I don't think I'll ever sell it!
The embellishments are also retired (they were in the Holiday 2015 Catalog), but they're very similar to the new Enamel Shapes in the Annual Catalog.
Colors: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Real Red

Watercolor Wings Watercolor Wishes Shades Of Blue Birthday Butterfly
This card came to be because of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece and a long narrow strip of Night of Navy card stock that didn't match the rest of what I had. They must have been from an older pack. I decided to make a card with them to use them up!
Colors: Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
The white card piece is 5 1/4 x 8".
