Build a Birthday Card Off Center
When’s the last time that you got to build a birthday card? Did you do it at the last minute? Or did you plan ahead?
Inquiring dogs want to know!
Because last night our power went off – BEFORE we made this card!
Saying Goodbye
It’s hard to say good-bye, but when it’s for a retirement card, it’s not really goodbye for long.
At least we hope not. It could be “see you next week”.
Today’s retirement card is a one stamp set production.
Save and Color!
You know Tuesdays are all about saving and this Tuesday is no different. We’ve got 3 ways to save today and – of course – a card that you’ll want to make.
First!
Tuesday means that …
No Stamping Handmade Card
No stamping? That’s right! There is no stamping on this card.
But we still love it! It’s made with something new in the latest catalog and we wanted to be sure that you found it yet.
Is It Too Early for Christmas in July?
I know that we’re in June, but do you think I can start barking about Christmas in July? That’s when we start with our Christmas card classes.
You don’t want this year to start off being behind again!
And I’m already celebrating by hauling out my newest Christmas Card stamp set, Lots of Joy.
It’s new in this year’s catalog so we broke that rubber out of the box and …
A REAL Un-Birthday Party!
Have you ever been to an UN-birthday party? Ann went to one without me last night. And perhaps THAT meant that things weren’t going to go according to plan.
Here’s the short version:
Got My Mojo Working Again
What do you do to get your mojo working? For me, it usually includes a bed and a pillow. While I’m sleeping, I send Ann special messages to get her to make something fabulous for me – and she did not disappoint.
The guy in the brown truck dropped off a box yesterday and we got…
The Birthday Card Goof Up
Have you ever made a birthday card and you goofed on the very last thing?
It doesn’t happen often, but I think I can fix this one!
We were cruising right along. Ann was doing everything I asked. We used a stamp set we hadn’t used before and TWO items that will be more expensive tomorrow. Can you spot them?
Got My Mojo Working
I meant to get Ann working on my mojo yesterday morning. She tends to read my pupographic messages fairly well late at night, but she couldn’t feel my radar at all yesterday morning.
So we stayed up last night until we finished this Lost Lagoon card. And I LOVE it!
Make it a Manly Card
Are you at a loss when it comes to making a manly card? Don’t worry. It’s a common challenge in the card making world.
About half of the world’s population are men. They deserve to get good handmade cards too! And it shouldn’t be just for Father’s Day!
And this month, the Stampin’ Pup Club members are going to get them! Stampin’ Pup Club is our online shopping club for people who want to build their stamps and accessories stash while getting a few little extras to boot.
Today we’re putting finishing touches on a set of instructions for four masculine cards that we’ll be sharing with the Stampin’ Pup Club members – and this is one of them.
Inlaid Butterfly Card Video
Have you ever had one of those times when you had to make a LOT of cards? You wanted something nice, but you couldn’t make it too fancy or you’d never get them all done.
Today’s card is just the perfect card to make for someone special. I know because we made it for all the special people who shopped online with us during May. I hope they like it!
Just a Little Thank You
Every now and then, we like to make a little square card. Because with a little card – like this one that’s 4-1/4″ square – you don’t have to say much! And when it’s 4-1/4″ square, it will fit in a standard envelope and not cost you any additional postage.
Orange is the New Black
Do you like to watch shows on your computer? Or your phone? Or your tablet?
And Netflicks makes custom series and one of them that is back for the third season is “Orange is New Black”.
Would you like a little custom box to give a special gift? maybe some cookies, Hershey’s Kisses or maybe a nice piece of jewelry?
The Stampin’ Up! Baker’s Box is grrrreat to add to your arsenal of Big Shot Framelits.
Happy Birthday and Other Special Days
We’re experimenting with some of the new stamp sets we received from the new catalog. And Ann’s been watching the new season of Orange is the New Black to get her color karma going.
We were pulling the greeting out of the Garden in Bloom set to stamp on the front of yesterday’s card, we noticed all the beautiful flower stamps and decided to use them today.
Did you know?
Did you know what we’re working on? We’re doing thank you cards that we send to our May clients.
Usually my friend Doodles helps me, but this time I designed it all on my own! I hope you like it.
