A few weeks ago when I was working on some other projects using the Tulips Suite, I die cut a bunch of the tulip flowers in different colors. I also cut out the windmill with the plans to use them on a card. Well, it turned out everything together was way too big for a card. So everything sat on my desk in a little pile until I figured out what to make with it. One of my local stores sells these 6" plain wreaths that you can decorate. I hot … [Read more...] about Tulip Wreath
Bonus May Sampler-One In A Melon
For May I ended up making a second Sampler. I created this one for a themed scrapbook retreat that I worked at last month. The theme of the event was You're One In A Melon. I knew a picnic/melon themed sampler would compliment the decor for the event. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have used them in scrapbooks, and … [Read more...] about Bonus May Sampler-One In A Melon
Don’t Miss Out
Ugh. As we approach the end of the January-June Catalog, we get a new Last Chance List for the products that will be retiring at the end of June. Once the list is released, products are while supplies last. I'm always a little sad when we have a Catalog retire, because I'm going to miss some great products. You can see the list of retiring products here. June is your last chance to get these items. Some are even on sale! … [Read more...] about Don’t Miss Out

Thank You
Happy Friday! I'm back today with more Tea Boutique Suite. I love our Kraft colored boxes with these gold dots. These boxes are perfect for a small treat or gift. These boxes ship flat in a package of eight. I think they'd be great as a thank you or party favor for a shower or a party. You could use them for teacher thank you gifts. In this picture, you can see the pretty scallop detail along the edge of the lid. These boxes are 3.5 x … [Read more...] about Thank You
Cup of Tea
One of my favorite Suites from the new Catalog is the Tea Boutique Suite. I love the stamp set with the matching dies, and the adorable pattern paper. The pattern paper is a 6x6" pad. The patterns on the 6x6" paper are reduced down, which is perfect for card-making. The finished card is 4.25" x 4.5". I started out with a standard card size of 4.25" x 5.5". Then I scored the bottom 1" up. On the right side, I trimmed off the card stock at … [Read more...] about Cup of Tea
May Sampler-Grad
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing my May Sampler. With my son just graduating from college, I knew the perfect sampler for May would be a graduation sampler. This sampler has a place to add the year of your Class and a picture of your graduate. Knowing that schools have lots of different colors, I tried to give some basic options to match a number of schools. This kit comes in three different color versions: blue and yellow, black and yellow, … [Read more...] about May Sampler-Grad
