I wanted to design a quick treat holder that would be inexpensive to make. I came up with this small chocolate "book". This is super easy to make and costs very little in supplies. Start with a piece of card stock that is 4.25" x 3.5". Score it down the center on the 4.25" side. Cut a piece of pattern paper to 3.5" by 1 7/8th". Glue down with tape runner. The ribbon wraps around the outside of the "book". Stamp your heart on a piece of white … [Read more...] about A Little Something…

Hey, Birthday Chick
When the January-June Catalog was released, there was a small delay in the arrival of the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set for an awesome reason. Guess what? Stampin Up released dies to coordinate with the stamp set. How cool is that! You know me, I love matching die sets. It makes creating with the stamp set so much easier. Not only that, but the die sets usually come with some fun extras like the streamers I used below. I don't usually … [Read more...] about Hey, Birthday Chick
You Had Me At Stamps
This is my last card using the Loving You Always Suite, for now. :) The pink and black and white combination is just so pretty, I couldn't resist using it over and over. The Metallic Foil paper comes in the three colors, so you have plenty of options to make lots of different things. I used the heart border die for the top of my tag. It's a little heard to see in the picture because of the tiny size of the hearts, but it's pretty in real … [Read more...] about You Had Me At Stamps
Love You
Happy Wednesday! I've got a couple more Valentine's Day projects I need to share before Valentine's Day. Today's card uses the beautiful floral heart die in the Floral Heart Die set. The die is almost the same size as the card front. I used the die on our vellum paper and it makes a beautiful frame around the pink metallic heart. I am totally in love with this pink metallic pattern paper. The copper foiling on the paper is just so pretty … [Read more...] about Love You

15 Years!
When I joined Stampin Up, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I didn't want to pay full price for my craft supplies any longer. I had no ambitions to hold parties, work events, or have a Stampin Up business. I had so much fun making cards with my new supplies that I started sharing cards with friends. A couple friends asked me to show them how to make cards too and that's where it all started... 15 years ago! I received this … [Read more...] about 15 Years!
