*** IMPORTANT UPDATE ON MAGNETIC PLATFORM ***
Magnetic Platform Temporarily Unavailable Beginning Thursday
Due to high demand and inability to fill backorders on a timely basis, Stampin' Up! will be temporarily making the Magnetic Platform unavailable for purchase until they can once again meet demand. They expect it to be available again in early Fall.
Order before Thursday, July 18 at 2:01 am EDT to get on the backorder list before this item is suspended! Backorders are currently running into late August.
This is a HOT item! Apparently, Stampin' Up! went through their projected 13-week supply in only 3 weeks! It's just that awesome!
Order the Magnetic Platform at my Online Store now, to ensure you get yours as soon as it's available! They'll fill all closed backorders as they get more Magnetic Platforms in.
Stampin' Up! is receiving periodic shipments from the vendor and as soon as they
come in will fulfill orders in the approximate order they were
received.

Hi Stamping Friends!
I'm finishing up all of my pre-Convention preparation today. Soon, I'll be heading on out to Salt Lake City to spend time with my family who live in the area for a bit before our 25th Anniversary event starts! Then on Thursday, the celebration begins with 6000 of my closest stamping friends! Oh yeah!
I have to say, I'm getting pee-my-pants excited! Woohoo to the max!
If you're going, I hope I see you there! Be sure to stop me and let me know you're a Too Cool Stamping follower! If you can't be there, then make sure you like my page on Facebook, so you share the excitment…

I stepped WAY outside my color comfort zone on these two cool cards! It's a tad too bright for me, but I think it's very cheery and it was definitely fun to create!
This is the second card for my Best of 25 Years July club kit, featuring the Best of Shelli set. I love that hummingbird image, so I thought it'd be fun to create a lattice background scene with dies and punches.
I don't know what I was thinking, because that meant I had LOTS of die-cutting and LOTS of punching to do to prepare the project for my kits. I got a real workout! LOL!
I started with a Daffodil Delight card base, then added some summer-themed Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper. The Melon Mambo gingham pattern strips are 1/2" x 5-1/2", and the center Daffodil striped piece measures 3" x 5-1/2".
I die-cut a Daffodil Delight Window Frame Framelit as the foundation for the focal point, then added a Whisper White Lattice die-cut over the top with a 2-Way Glue Pen. I LOVE how the shape of the Lattice matches the shape of the Window Frame so perfectly. The only part of the lattice that extends out past the die-cut is the corners, and they actually look really cool like that.
For some detail, I added piercing around the border with the Festive Paper Piercing Pack template. (Sorry, club members, you'll have to add all those holes yourself. My hand was way too tired!)
The hummingbird image is stamped in Tempting Turquoise, hand-cut and popped up with Dimensionals.
I used the Boho Blossoms Punch for the Melon Mambo flowers, and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack for the Daffodil flower centers. Each one is decorated with a Pearl Jewel and attached to the lattice with a Glue Dot.
TIP: I curl the flower centers around the tip of my Bone Folder to give them dimension before adhering them.
The Little Leaves Sizzlits created the perfect size of Pear Pizzazz colored foliage behind my flowers. I adhere those delicate stems with a 2-Way Glue Pen.
The Best of Greetings "thank you" was stamped in Tempting Turquoise and punched out with the Modern Label Punch.
