One of my favorite dies from the January-June Mini Catalog is this adorable mini envelope. The envelope is approximately 1.5 x 1" to give you an idea of the size. This envelope die is part of the Snailed It Bundle. Today's card is another slimline card. This card is 3.5"x8.5", which allows plenty of space for all those little envelopes. And if you haven't noticed the pattern in the pattern paper yet, all those mini squares are postage stamp … [Read more...] about You’ve Got Mail
Snow Day Sampler
We don't get too many "snow days" here in SoCal (thank goodness), but I still love the beautiful Winter scenes that you see in pictures. Those beautiful snow covered trees and mountains are so pretty. And, I've always wanted to live somewhere you could build a snow man in your front yard. Well, not enough to actually move to the snow. But it sure sounds like it would be fun. Plus the joy of "snow days"... no school, no work. We don't get that … [Read more...] about Snow Day Sampler

A Little Something…
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
