Oh my, oh my! Those Stitched Dies! Let me be the first to ask you, why haven't you bought these yet? They add that little bit of je ne sais quois (thank you high school French). Seriously, now I want to go back and remake every card from the last couple months using these dies. Ok maybe not every card. Check out these two cards. This first card does not use the Stitched Dies. No doubt about it, it's definitely cute. But this one is with the … [Read more...] about Merry Mice and Stitched Dies

Five Minute Friday
Happy Five Minute Friday! I’ve sure missed posting these the last couple weeks and I have a great one for you today! This project will be one of my Make & Takes at the Just Crop Retreats tomorrow. If you’re looking for some time away from home with girlfriends, Rachel does an excellent job with these retreats. Next year, there will be seven retreat weekends, lots of dates to choose from. When I first received my Holiday Catalog, I saw the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
More Gift Card Holders
When I was in the process of making all those coffee gift card holders, I decided I better make some larger gift card holders as well. So many stores have gone to those gift cards that are 4x5". Today's project fits that larger gift card size and they are large enough that you could tuck a little something else inside too.I made two different versions of these, using different pattern paper on the outside and a different color insert on the … [Read more...] about More Gift Card Holders
Merry Pup-mas
My assistant, Frannie, loves to help me out in the office. She's really good on the computer and does most of my proofreading. Here she is making sure I have all my Wordpress updates installed. But if I don't keep her busy, she'll sneak off for a nap. After reviewing my last post, she asked me why there weren't any pups in the Holiday Catalog. I explained to her that I was sure it was an oversight and we could figure something out … [Read more...] about Merry Pup-mas
Holiday Boutique Prep
So my desk looks like a tornado hit it. I'd show pictures, but nope, not going to this time. Just picture about five a six projects mostly done and all the accompanying supplies for all those projects spread out. I think I'm down to 8" of workspace now. I just managed to finish up a couple dozen cards and I'll get those supplies put away very soon because now I need to get out the stuff for the next project. I know you're wondering why all the … [Read more...] about Holiday Boutique Prep
Five Minute Friday – Totally Trees
I'm a fan of quick and simple cards. Sometimes those over the top cards are just too much. Same thing when it comes to pattern paper. Wild, crazy designs and bold colors are usually not my thing. I had to see the new Petals and Paisley's Designer Series Paper in action before I ordered it myself. I'll admit, some of these patterns are just not me. That's ok though because every sheet is 2-sided. I may not be fond of those giant paisley's, but the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Totally Trees
Cookie Cutter Christmas Clips
So I have a little obsession that I have not shared with you yet… it’s my planner. If you’re a “planner girl”, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re not, it’s a whole new crafting obsession to get addicted to. What it boils down to is decorating your planner with stamps, stickers, clips, washi tape, and anything else that will fit in your planner. If you google “planner ideas”, there are thousands of images that pop-up. There is so … [Read more...] about Cookie Cutter Christmas Clips
Cookie Cutter Christmas
The upcoming Holiday Catalog has two different stamp sets that coordinate with the same punch, the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. They are the Cookie Cutter Halloween and Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp sets. When you purchase the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set, you have the option to buy it as a bundle with the punch or without the punch. The bundle saves you about 10% on the price of the two items. The Cookie Cutter Halloween set is not sold in … [Read more...] about Cookie Cutter Christmas
