Beautiful Gift Box for Cards
How did you celebrate World Card Making Day yesterday? Did you make a card? We actually got together with some Master Stampers for a live online event. Ann broke out the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit to make a quick card and then they all got out their Envelope Punch...
Tall and Skinny Christmas Card
The challenge was to do a tall and skinny card. We decided to make one that fits inside a business envelope.
Not that we will SEND it in once of those flimsy envelopes. We really prefer the luxurious feel of a Stampin’ Up! envelope. But by making this card 3-1/2″ by 6″, we’ll either have to make an envelope (YES!)) or a small business envelope is a perfect fit.
Lighthearted Leaves Card Ideas
September ended with a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse that made the leaves all start turning wonderful colors. Now we’re kicking off October with some lighthearted leaves to make us start thinking about those Fall holidays.
Halloween has its own look for cards and decorations, but Thanksgiving carries on with a totally different approach.
And while we’re on the subject of Thanksgiving, I’d like to…
12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas Starts Tonight in Your In Box!
Holy moly! Where did the time go? Is it that time already?
It’s time for 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas in your mailbox!
Many of you have been with us the 10 or so years that we’ve done this. Each year we try to tweak it a little so that it just gets better and better.
Aren’t Tuesday Sales Terrific?
Don’t you just love it? Every Tuesday, Stampin’ Up! gives us a new bunch of cool paper crafting accessories (and sometimes stamps) to get for at LEAST 25% off.
And this week is no different.
What Was I Thinking?
What was I thinking? Ann was definitely not reading my pup-o-graphic messages when she typed my barks.
Our inspirational list to show unique days to give your loved ones cards is a normal SUNDAY feature. Instead, Ann shared it on Saturday.
What was she thinking?
Have You Started Yet?
Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Now would be a good time to get your Christmas groove on.
That way, you won’t need to be jumping around like a Jack Russell during those last few weeks.
Why is it a good time to pick your stamps, ink and paper for your Christmas cards?
Card Fit for a Star
What do you give someone who’s given you a really nice gift. Not just any gift. A handmade gift.
And not just any handmade gift. One that they had to invest and learn a new craft to make.
What do you think this gift is that warrants a special thank you card?
It was a handmade…
Oh, What Fun We Had!
It was a grand day yesterday!
120mo-BigShotCecilI got to train my favorite huMAN how to squeeze 2 big circles out of a half sheet of card stock.
(He already knew how to use it. It was the SQUEEZE quotient.)
.
I had two of my best ball throwers here for a card class (and others I like too, but it was the two of my BEST ball throwers).
.
We broke out some new stamp sets from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog to play with for the card class.

And I’m STILL…

Get Those Halloween Cards Started!
Have you started your Halloween cards yet?
No?
Do you EVER send Halloween cards? It’s not the biggest card giving holiday, but the good thing about that is that your card won’t get lost in the masses!
Ann’s mom used to send her cute Halloween cards so that’s the kind we like to make.
The layout for this one was inspired by…
What a Hard Decision!
It was such a hard decision trying to figure out what card to share next. And even now, I’m not sure that I picked the right one.
The ultimate tiebreaker was the fact that something that’s on sale starting today made the difference on the card.
Yep. We’d finished shooting our video for the Master Stampers after…
