It’s Growing on Me
The new English Garden Designer Series Paper is so pretty. It’s pretty but I’m still getting used to the business of this.
And I’m so used to being the main busy thing around here!
Find a Waterlily Under the Bricks
Last night was our local Stamp Club night. It’s always nice to have the ladies come and love on me. They take turns opening up the patio door for me. They even helped with the set up since we hadn’t completely finished putting the front room together after our DIY Painting Experience. (Learn more about THAT here.)
It’s the first time…
How to Make a Quick Flower Gift Tag
Before we share today’s video, I must bark that we were inspired by something that the Stampin’ Up! artists came up with. We just had to make it a little different.
I can see this tag on a nice sized gift. You could make it smaller if your box is small, but I like those medium sized boxes. Not too big. Not too small.
We’re featuring one of the latest IN Colors,
Did You Miss National Doughnut Day?
With all the paint fumes around here, I missed reminding you of our great card giving days last week? Doughnut Day wouldn’t have made the cut, but it could’ve gotten you a free doughnut at a local Krispy Kreme.
Ann started standing on …
Always Time for A Card with DSP
We’re still painting here at Central Bark. Lots of furniture moving and paintbrush cleaning going on.
But now it’s time to bring in the professionals!

I Love This Color Combination!
Ann says this color combination is very close to the blue and green that she had in her roiom when she was a girl. It’s our new favortie blue/green combo with Lost Lagoon and Stampin’ Up!’s latest green: Mint Macaron.
Of course, my favorite huMAN liked it because anything with blue gets two thumbs up here at Central Bark.

Do you have a friend that has hit a rough patch? Or maybe you're answering "which one?". Maybe you should make a LOT of these cards for each one of them! If you've already got your catalog, I'm sure that the You've Got This stamp set is on your wish list. You' may...
Sweet Treats Sneak Peek
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to feel and touch and use some of the new things in the Stampin’ Up! catalog that’s being released tomorrow?
Like this luscious Bohemian Designer Series Paper that we’ve featured on this card with the retiring Starburst Framelits Dies and two stamp sets that are already sold out! (They weren’t when I told Ann to stamp it!)
5 Things I’ll Miss from the Occasions Catalog
What a challenging time it is around here! Mailing out catalogs (get yours here), getting our order together for the Sweet Treat Product Share and separating the items from the Occasions seasonal catalog that are coming back from the ones that aren’t.
We don’t bark the S word around here because we don’t want it hanging around. You know – stress.
But it is pretty busy!
And there are a few things (like the Painted Petals Designer Series Paper) that are already gone because they ran out so close to the last day.
So here’s a list of 5 things that you should really consider before they say SOLD OUT. (You can get things from the 2014-15 Catalog and the Occasions seasonal catalog until June 2nd or when they run out.)
Do You Need a Graduation Gift Card Holder?
Have you received an announcement for a special someone graduating soon? It’s an exciting time in the life of a teen and their family.
We have a dear friend of our family whose daughter is graduating high school and then in the fall will be off to college.
Yep. It’s an exciting time as they make their first steps into adulthood.
Not Your Every Day Wedding Card
Is anyone you know getting married? A couple of my human friends are.
And you know what that means!
Time to make a card!
This one has something old and something new, but nothing’s borrowed or blue on it. I hope they like it because there’s not another one like it in the world!
I’m Going to Miss The Herd, Aren’t You?
I don’t think we used this stamp set enough, but I see us using it a lot in the future. The From the Herd stamp set is full of different types of greetings that would work for any occasion.
Goodbye Chalk Inks and Paper!
It’s a very busy time around Central Bark these days. All the travel laundry is put away and I’ve settled in my bed.
And not only are there lots of good things on the Stampin’ Up Retired Lists, but there’s a bunch of nice stuff in the Occasions catalog that’s not coming back.
And the Chalk Inks and the Chalkboard Paper are not going to be here when next month rolls around. DARN!
Send an Encouraging Handmade Card Today
I hope that you like the card our April clients should have received last week (or a little before). Yesterday Ann got to feel good about getting a handmade card in the mail too!
Yes, it’s nice to give and it’s nice to receive an encouraging handmade card.
White and Breezy Birthday Card
Who knew that folding a piece of Whisper White card stock could turn into such a beautiful little card.
When Ann started as a demonstrator, that’s the only way she knew how to make a card. Just fold the card stock in half and stamp.
But it didn’t look like this!
