Modern Vintage Rose Vellum Card
Do you like cards that are just a little bit different?
Making cards that are just a little different than the norm is just one of the very cool things about paper crafting and card making. And we’re going to show you how to make something just a little be different before this Artisan Embellishment Kit goes away.
It’s listed as almost out of stock, so if you like it, get yours today!
6 Faves & Special Card Making Days
Are you enjoying getting unique list of days with special reasons for giving cards?
We called Sharon to thank her for encouraging us in the beginning, but she wasn’t home. We’re hoping that you like it too because that’s why we do the research.
Here’s a list of the ones coming up this week including some that you should just know about
Which One?
There’s a discussion going on here at Central Bark and we need your input. Ann thinks one way. My favorite huMAN thinks another.
I’m not getting in the middle of this so I need your help.
Here’s the original card that we made with two things – first, the Balloon Bash stamp set that Ann got for free from Stampin’ Up!. Wasn’t that nice of them to give Ann this stamp set at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference to bring home to me.
5 of My Favorites Added to the Clearance Rack
Can you believe that they added new things to the Clearance Rack just before the end of Sale-A-Bration?
It’s unheard of!
Here are the top 5 of my list that made it to the updated Clearance Rack. Just click on the sample pictures for a bigger look. Or click on the product pictures for more info or to stock up before all the stock is gone!
Same Colors, Different Mojo
Do you ever get on a roll with color? Like when you get certain colors out and make a lot of cards with mostly the same colors?
Did you see yesterday’s card? If you did, then maybe you might think that we’re on one of those color rolls too. We don’t use a lot of Calypso Coral, but we used a ton of it along with Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper that you can get free until the end of this month.
But today we used a different mojo -a different layout.
Gift Card Holder Bag
I was sneaking a peek onto the stamp table and what do you think I found?
Ann FINALLY got out our Mini Treat Bag Thinlits! It’s about time!
And she made a great little bag to hold a gift card that will fit inside of a standard envelope.
You could make 48 of these from one pack of the free Designer Series Paper you can get…
Are You Ready for Easter?
Have you started making your Easter cards? I find that stampers either make their cards really early or last minute.
Which one are you?
I’m almost ashamed to say that we are…
Card Making Days
There are good reasons to do some card making this week. And here are a few of them:
Monday is Puppy Day!
Tuesday is Tuberculosis Day
Wednesday is Waffle Day, Pecan Day & Tolkien Reading Day
(What’s your friend’s favorite book?)
Thursday is Purple Day & Make Up Your Own Holiday Day
In case you wanted to send your purple loving friend a card on Thursday, here’s one you can consider.
So Long Blendabilities!
I know that I barked this somewhere in the last couple weeks, but just in case you didn’t know – Stampin’ Up! isn’t producing the Blendabilities. They didn’t measure up to Stampin’ Up!’s high standards, so bye-bye, my friend.
We loved the, but there was life before Blendabilities and that’s our Many Marvelous Markers!
So we dusted ours off and played with them last night. I must bark that…
How to Make a Pac Man Card Video
That Pac Man card I had Ann make last week was so popular that we thought you’d like to learn to make it along with us with a video.
Was I right?
Ann has some fond memories playing with this little yellow guy. It was WAY before my time and I’m sure not quite as much fun as playing with a Jack Russell Terrier like me.
Making a Quick Thank You Card
It’s not hard to make a thank you card. In fact, we could’ve made this with any bold greeting stamp set to use for a birthday card or a wedding card or a get well card.
The Big on You stamp set is perfect for this, but we started by making our own background paper using the Petal Potpourri stamp set.
Make a Handmade Card Better
Isn’t it nice to get a card in the mail? Doesn’t it make you feel loved?
Before the end of this post that I’m barking to Ann. (I wish she’d type faster.) We’ll make our Sunday List of Special Days to send cards coming this week.
But first, here’s a card Ann & I got this week from Denise & I’ll even bark later how Denise made it better than it looks.
Do You Remember Pac Man?
Do you have a favorite memory of playing video games when you were younger?
We all do!
Maybe it was as a kid in front of the TV. Or maybe you played a big machine in a bar or an arcade. Or maybe you played on your computer.
Everyone older than this dog remembers
My New Favorite Stamp Set
What’s your favorite stamp set?
Is it in the Sale-a-Bration brochure?
Is it in the Occasions brochure?
Is it in the main catalog?
Well, ours isn’t in any of them because it’s a limited edition set
It’s a Masculine Birthday Card
How many masculine stamps do you have? Chances are that there aren’t a lot in your stash.
So, are we going to make some good masculine cards for our favorite guys if we don’t invest in a few stamps for them?
We’ve got just the stamp set to get into your stash that will work for lots of the men in your life. But this one is for my favorite huMAN who has a big birthday on Thursday.
So we used…
