Beautifully Happy Watercolor Background

January 16, 2023January 16, 2023Leave a comment

After a decade of drought, Southern Utah is enjoying an unbelievable amount of rain, so on this wet day, it just feels like I should be creating with WATERcolor!

In my Live crafting video, I demonstrated how to make a unique background in two ways for the Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration stamp set, and it’s easier than you may think:

I’m not a professional…it just amazes me what can be made with paper, ink and a bit of water! Which one appeals most to you, left or right?

Last Chance to Party (with select products)

Did you miss the opportunity to get the coordinating dies for This Birthday Piggy, Yeti to Party or Apple Harvest stamp set?

Are you a savvy shopper and love stocking up for next year early?

TODAY IS YOUR DAY!

New items have been added to the CLEARANCE RACK **and** the Last Chance list from the July-December catalog is up, with many holiday items on sale up to 60% off. This is not the time to dilly-dally, because when they are gone, they are gone.

I’ll be sharing some projects on social media all day (follow me on FB & Insta), but just for you here, this is a big tag I created a few months ago to go on the dishwasher we replaced for my Mother-in-Love for her birthday & Christmas gift…and if you know Launa, you know she love PIGS and I love having dies to cut out the images from “This Birthday Piggy” stamp set:

I forgot to take a picture of the finished tag on the dishwasher, so all you get is the video!

These coordinating dies will go fast, along with Designer Series Paper and embellishments from the current mini catalog that are deeply discounted, so fill your cart and craft for Christmas.

A Card Good Enough to Eat

November 7, 20221 Comment

Have you ever wished you had a card on hand to lift the spirits of a friend? If you answered yes, let this one be the one you always have in your box!

These remind me of the “In case of emergency, break glass” cases: Sometimes acting like a grown up is difficult, and we all know CHOCOLATE helps. So you may need to break one of these open at any moment.

The cards are also the SWAPS I made for Stampin’ Up! OnStage Local. I’m headed to Anaheim this weekend for our annual convention (OnStage) and demonstrators always swap cards at events; make multiples of the same card and trade with other demonstrators so you have a wide variety of samples to inspire you when you get home!

Though they are simple, they are certainly SWEET!

Stamp a stack to keep in stock, but don’t eat all the chocolate! Here’s what you’ll need:

Here’s a taste of Christmas Cheer in greeting-card form, and while it stands up to display, it folds FLAT to mail!

Peachy Cassette Gift Box

March 24, 2022March 24, 2022Leave a comment

Are you old enough to remember the cases a cassette tape came in? For you youngsters, that was what we recorded and listened to music on before CD’s, which were before MP3 players, which were before cell phones and music streaming services.

Never mind how long ago that was…let’s just focus on how cute this gift box is:

While this project is easier with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, the Sweet as a Peach bundle is discounted 20% off in March 2022 during the Savings Are In Bloom promotion, and sadly, this personal favorite Peach bundle is retiring at the end of April, so don’t miss the chance to add it to your crafting collection.

When I make these boxes, I like to imagine what might fit inside: candy, earrings, money, gum, lipstick, a personalized rubber stamp, a deck of cards, etc. With a finished size of 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and 1/2″ deep, tell me what you can think of to wrap in this retro-design-inspired box!

Now, if you are old enough to handle crafting tools, try your hand at crafting a few of these boxes with this printable tutorial, and thanks for choosing me to purchase your supplies from!

The mini machine is the mini- but mighty- crafting companion that sits out on my desk all the time, at the ready for cutting and some embossing.

During the month of March, you can snag the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine at a 20% discount! This miniature machine is compatible with a large selection of Stampin’ Up! embossing folders and dies.

Plus, during March you can save 20% on a selection of stamp-and-die bundles that are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!
