Two project posts in two days using Poppies! This notebook is the second of the projects I made using the Poppies paper and die cuts. I think the desktop calendar from yesterday and this notebook coordinate beautifully and can be given as a gift either together, or by themselves. These embellished jr. legal pad notebooks make great gifts for teachers,…

I hope that you will be able to schedule in some classes and Sunday Stamping, a new offering, into your calendar. Write the dates down now…
Each month for Club, we make two cards and a 3D project. This month’s 3D project was desktop calendars. They were a big hit! (and really easy to make). We used the new Poppy paper and die set that will be available in January. Any papers and punch outs will work (but I really love the poppies). I filmed a…

Since the debut of the Blends Markers, your Stampin’ Write’s may have taken a back seat (just like mine). Don’t forget about these versatile Stampin’ Write Markers! “Re-ink” the Stampin’…

This is the time of year that most people send out the most amount of cards. Don’t let it be overwhelming! As you are cutting, stamping, and assembling your Christmas cards, find the joy and not the time crunch. As I was making some of my cards today, I thought of a few tips that may help you out with…

Today is the last day for the sale! For those of you who have known Stampin’ Up! for a while, you know that they don’t have sales very often. Their regular prices don’t allow them to discount 50-75% off like other companies that are offering holiday sales. So even though 15% may not seem like a “big” sale, it really…
Do you need to make multiples of cards but don’t want them to look all the same? I have just the answer for you! The solution of making multiple cards without boredom is changing your papers I needed to make several birthday cards, but making the same card over and over can get a little boring and repetitive. My solution…

My new Paper Trimmer arrived over a week ago and I am very impressed! The previous Paper Trimmer was completely fine except in one area. The replacement blades are no longer available.
