Quick post today after a long day and now I'm dealing with broken washer. I have no problem trying something on my own, so it's YouTube to the rescue. We'll see if the various YouTube videos can help me get the washer going again. And let me just state for the record, I have no idea what I'm doing. The one type of card that I never seem to have on hand when I need them is a sympathy card. No one likes having to send one and when you really … [Read more...] about Thinking of You
July Customer Thank You’s
One of my favorite pattern papers from the new catalog is the Delightfully Detailed laser cut paper. This pack has two different styles of sheets and one side is Whisper White and the other side is Very Vanilla. One is a 12x12 sheet of a beautiful floral pattern cut out. The second sheet has 6 different frames and a couple borders. This second sheet with the frames is perfect for cards. I cut all the frames apart. Then I cut a sheet of Whisper … [Read more...] about July Customer Thank You’s
Merry Christmas!
We still have a few more months before Christmas, but with stamps like these, I just couldn't resist getting a start on my Holiday cards. The limited release of the Blended Seasons stamp set is just the ticket for getting some quick Holiday cards made. Usually, when it comes to stamping and die cutting, I recommend stamp first, cut second. However, I found it easier to cut my label first and then stamp it. This allowed me to get the ivy … [Read more...] about Merry Christmas!
A Little Hello
I've been so busy lately creating with the new Color Your Season bundle and the new watercolor pencils. I love that the set has so many versatile images and sentiments. And, the new collection of watercolor pencils compliments the set in the Annual Catalog so well. Today's project is a little treat bag that I made to give to some friends at the Just Crop Retreat this past weekend. I stopped by the Retreat and dropped off these little goodies … [Read more...] about A Little Hello

Today I'm sharing a brand new product that became available August 1st and will be available only through the end of the month (or while supplies last).

July Paper Pumpkin Sampler
I love the adorable little picnic baskets that came in the July Paper Pumpkin kit. But I don't really have a lot of room to store 3D projects like that in my studio. Seriously, I would be overrun if I kept one of everything. Still, I really wanted to enjoy the look of the picnic basket and knew a Sampler would be perfect to display something like this. I took most of the various pieces from the July kit to make my 12x12 Sampler. I used the … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin Sampler
