Butterfly Gala Sneak Peek!

I'm super excited about all the amazing butterfly products coming in the new Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs!!!  There's so many fun things on the horizon!  this Butterfly Gala stamp set and punch is one of them!  These butterflies are punched out with the new butterfly punch.  I love a good punch and this is a great punch.  The Butterfly Gala set has so many fun butterflies and it's easy to layer up colors and patterns!  I can't wait to use this set more!  This card was one of the make and takes from my team Christmas party on Tuesday night.  Check back tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!!

Handwritten Omb

This cards evolution is a strange story.  First the amazing Handwritten Background stamp set featured isn't even my stamp set.  It ended up in my bag at the last craft weekend. It actually belongs to my friend Kim.  She challenged me AT the craft weekend to make a card with it.  I had it in my bag and forgot all about it, until I unpacked.  This week I FINALLY had time to make a card with the background and boy do I LOVE IT!!!!  

I clear heat embossed and then used Blueberry Bushel and a sponge dauber to add lots of color and in an ombre pattern.  The color is very dark and concentrated on the bottom and lightens up as you go up.   I paired it with the Stitched Labels Bundle for a really cute and fun card!  I have sneak peeks coming tomorrow!  Don't miss it!

Christmas 10 Week Countdown, Week 9

Over the next 10 weeks I'll share a new and fun Christmas idea all the way up to December 18, only a week away from Christmas!  Of course you can adapt all of these ideas to any holiday or occasion.  I can't believe we're on week 9 only one week left!!!!  Today's project is the perfect stocking stuffer and perfect last minute gift.  I found these mini Post It Note Matchbooks at the Container Store.  They were so cute and all I did was attach a cute tag to the front and add a bow with some White Bakers Twine.  

The Enjoy tag was stamped with the Tags and Tidings Stamp Set and then punched out with a 1" circle punch.  Easy peasy!  These are perfect for teachers or co workers or anyone who loves cute notepads.  Who doesn't!!!!?! Join me next week for week for our final week of the Countdown to Christmas!  Shop for products in my online store here.

Customer Appreciation Class

Over the weekend I held my annual Customer Appreciation class.  I love doing this class so much. It's a class that celebrates and spoils my amazing customers who, without their support, I couldn't do what I love to do!  They always get to make 3 fun and simple cards.  This first one is so cute and we got to pull out the incredible Stamparatus for it!  Lining up the flamingo is easy with the Stamparatus!  

 This card is one of my favorites! It's simple but so beautiful.  If you don't own the Waterfront Stamp Set you need it!  It creates the most stunning cards!

This card is so fun! I love the simple geometric shapes and this is a great masculine card.  We always need masculine cards!  In addition to the three cards there was also a gourmet coffee bar and my guests also got a sneak peek at the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogs!

Big Plans Memories and More

Sometimes we need a quick card.  Like really quick, like not even time for stamping quick!  I love to keep our amazing Memories and More packs on hand for cases just like this! Our Memories and more card are incredible for scrapbooking and memory keeping but they also make pretty amazing cards!

There is no stamping on any of these cards!  All the greetings are from the Big Plans Memories and More kit.  In addition, the memory cards are all used for the focal points on all of the cards.  The only addition I made was on this card where I ran a piece of cardstock through the Big Shot with the Tufted Embossing folder.

I love the greetings, accents and cards in all our amazing packs and they're great to keep on hand when you need a quick card.  You can shop our entire line of Memories and More products in my Online Store here.

Thanks for Looking, see you soon!!!

Christmas 10 Week Countdown, Week 8

Over the next 10 weeks I'll share a new and fun Christmas idea all the way up to December 18, only a week away from Christmas!  Of course you can adapt all of these ideas to any holiday or occasion. Today I have a really cute tiny gift that would be so cute to hand out to anyone!  This sweet little triangle box holds a Ferrero Rondnoir or Ferroro Rocher perfectly!  The tag on the front is simple but with the gold glimmer paper it really adds lots of Christmas Sparkle!  The 'Made With Love' greeting is from the Make A Difference Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog.  

I love all tiny boxes and this one is super cute!  Look how fun it is!!  Plus they're super simple to put together!  You can make a stack in no time!

You'll need a piece of cardstock that is 6 1/2"x5".  On the 6 1/2" side score at 1 1/2", 3" 4 1/2" and 6" on the 5" side score at 1 1/2" and 3 1/2"

You'll trim the 3 top left squares off, along with the top right rectangle.  The tabs on the bottom are all trimmed up to the score line, I like to angle my tabs a little.  You'll also remove the bottom right rectangle.  From here it's easy to assemble the box.  You'll add glue to the tab and fold the box together adhere the bottom.  To form the triangle simply pinch the sides and ford the lid over.  I kept my lid closed with some strong magnets.  You could also use Velcro or add a fun belly band.  Shop for product in my online store here.
