Just a reminder

Just a reminder you have only a few hours to order retiring items and/or paper products that will go up in price in the new catalogue.   This butterfly set is retiring.   We tried a new technique of putting the thinlit in the Sugarplum inkpad and then running it through the Bigshot.

Lovely Floral Embossing Folder

We used a sponge brayer with Grapefruit Grove to get this effect.  The Lovely Floral embossing folder makes such a deep emboss and is great for many techniques!  The brayer easily goes over the flowers.  This new colour is definitely one of my favs!

Baking Big Shot Plates

Friends that bake together - have been doing a lot of crafting and they don’t have a thing to eat!😊. We baked six of Shirley’s plates  wrapped in tinfoil that were very warped and  they came out almost straight.

On the Road

Going to Saskatchewan first to visit with my best friend and now crafting buddy and then going to see family!

Lovely Lipstick Bike Ride

This is a card I have cased from the new catalogue.  I changed the colours because I wanted to try my new Lovely Lipstick.  It is a lovely very red.  I used some retired vellum as I am trying to use up some of my stash.

Colour Revamp in my own Craft Room

I usually organize my ink by colour rather than Colour families but decided to try keeping all my paper and inks in the order they come in the new catalogue.  There some new delightful colours and I thought this would help me remember them all.   I also took out all the retiring paper and inks and got them ready for my retiring sale!

May Paper Pumpkin

It is so easy to make cards with the Paper Pumpkin kit!  I just take everything out and start.  This month’s kit has a great stamp set in it to make any sentiment you need - including grandpa.

Truly Tailored Fathers Day

I saw a few cards on Pinterest and made these shirts often with my Grade Ones for Fathers Day.   I thought it would be fun to make one again and the Truly Tailored Suite made that easy. I cut the DSP 3 3/4” X 5”.    I cut an inch in and an inch down  to make the collar.  I used a retiring punch to make the bow tie.  This set is retiring so you only have a week left to order it.

My Leaders Share What they love

It is great fun tone part of a team of creators that are so supportive and encouraging!  Both these cards I received in the mail this week feature the Share What You Love Suite which is available to order now.  Ange McKay made the card on the left and Ann Driscoll made the card on the right. Thank you both for such lovely cards!

Product Share Reservation!

Here is a sample of new Designer Series Paper I will have available for a product share!  I am just giving you a heads up so you can reserve some with me if you would like!   I think around $25 will get you a nice selection of paper and 2 yards of some new ribbon!

More Sitting Pretty

Can you tell I like this bundle? I just love the benches!  I cut them out in copper foil and the detailing is quite incredible! I made the card in Sea Foam green.  I looked up and realized my walls were just a shade darker than the paper.  No wonder I like this colour.  

Sitting Pretty Bundle

One of the best perks of being a demonstrator is getting to order new things before the actual cataligue comes out.  I ordered the Sitting Pretty Bundle because I loved the benches.  I used a lot of the new colours and you are going to love them.  I also used some new DSP.

Magical Day Bundle

I will be sorry to see this lovely and fun bundle retire.  You only have a couple of weeks left to be able to order this bundle.  I swapped with some of my fellow demonstrators to get this card.   The one on the left is by Gillian Long and the one on the right is by Stefanie Pletscher.

Creative Fun in a Box

I made this kit of cards for my friend to put together for her birthday.  It had all occasions in it - Birthday, Baby, Mother’s Day, etc.  If you would love such a kit - you can let me know.  We cannot send stamped images but for a little extra I can include a stamp set for your images.

Share What You Love

I attended a demonstrator event where I got to make this lovely card from this lovely bundle.  I wouldn’t have putGrapefruit Grove with Rich Razzleberry but it sure looks great here!

Thank You Share What You Love Bundle

The paper 📝 n this suite is so beautiful and so easy to make cards with.  I just look for a layout and away we go!

New Catalogue!!!

After a long day - am going to bed with one of the best books!!😊. If you would like a new catalogue - just leave me a comment.     

Share What You Love Suite

I am just beginning to experiment with the Share What You Love Suite.  This paper is exquisite!  I have a Layout section in my Pinterest so I looked through and found some layouts which inspired my next few posts.  I love that some of my favourite colours are coming back.  The colours in the DSP and the cardstock are so easy to make gorgeous cards with.  I will be doing a paper share in the near future if you would like some of this paper.

Mother’s Day Daisies

Nine made!  11 to finish - I think with some help.  I am sure the moms at church will love these!

Fun for Children too!

Even my five year old grandson loves using my Stamparatus and helped me make all those daisies.

Stamparatus Daisy Heaven

Sometimes it takes the gray cells awhile to kick in.  I was stamping the Daisy - turning it over and punching it out.  I need a ton of daisies so I thought this is too long.  Then I thought of my Stamparatus!!   I quickly punched out a ton of daisies and then set up my Stamparatus and after that it was magic.  Put the Daisy in the prepunched slot, ink, stamp and next Daisy in the blink of an eye!

Truly Tailored Men’s Cards

I got a little carried away cutting out bow ties but made all these cards using the Truly Tailored Stamp set.  Do you need cards for the men in your life?  This set is perfect for men’s cards.  If you order this retiring set I will send you all you need to make two of these cards!
