Snowman Birthday Card
We’re featuring another Winter Birthday Card today because we know there are lots of people with December and January birthdays who would like a handmade card in their mailbox. and everyone likes Punch Art Cards!
We’re aiming this one as a masculine card for our favorite guy who shares the same birthday with…
December Birthday Card
Do you have friends and loved ones with birthdays around the holidays? We have 3 in our family! The grandkids and my favorite huMAN’s brother.
(Does that make him my huMAN uncle?)
So here’s a card for the soon not to be teen girl who’s spending a lot of time in college. At least, this is the early version.
Save On Saturday
Don’t you hate to miss a sale? I know that Ann & I are always looking for the best value. We want the best products for the best price we can get it for.
Are you that way too?
That’s just one of the reasons that we don’t want you to miss out on a few of the things that are on the Clearance Rack Close-out at a HUGE discount WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
We love this card! It’s not just for kids. Elmo brings a smile to anyone’s face!
A Box for All Seasons
Don’t you just love having paper crafting items that work year round? This Fry Box is decorated as Santa Clause, but it could be done for New Year’s, Valentines, 4th of July, you name it!
You could probably fit 3 York Peppermint Patties in there, but 2 fit just fine with a little padding that we made ourselves.

Today’s card has a Limited Edition Stamp Set called Banner Blessings. We knew we had to have it the moment we saw it.
3 Best Deals on the Clearance Rack
Have you noticed that the Clearance Rack is getting smaller? We just lost one more last night.
So, here are the 3 deals that this pup feels have the best value – just in case you may have missed them. And I hope you’ll enjoy our vintage video.
5 Minute Gift Wrap
Do you find that small gifts aren’t always the most impressive when they’re wrapped? You might think that putting it in a bigger box is the answer.
Maybe not.
Wrap some chocolate up like this and it will be the hit under the tree! It’s got a reusable charm and a nice big bow. It’s a different slant on red and green using…
Fat Santa Card Video Tutorial
Do you like your Santa’s plump? Or does it matter? A skinny St. Nick might be able to get down your chimney easier, but a Fat Santa is more what I’ve come to adore.
I directed Ann to plump up the card that we showed in this post so we could make this video.
So come on! Which size Santa do you like?
Is It Too Soon for Valentines Cards?
Who is still out there working on their Christmas cards?
I see a lot of hands raised!
Many crafters start early on projects because it might take a bit more time than driving to the store or ordering online. But this early?
Not Your Average Card Day
Have you ever played bunko? Or you might spell it bunco.
It’s a popular dice game tha people usually do on a monthly basis. Ann says it’s kind of like playing group Yahtzee.
Last night, the group that Ann belongs to had their annual Christmas party and look what my friend Donna made for everyone using …
Clearance Rack Christmas
Do things sometime take a bit of time to grow on you?

My 5 Favorites from the Stampin’ Up! Year End Clearance
Last night at the stroke of 11 Pawcific Time (Midnight Stampin’ Up! Time), Stampin’ Up! rolled out TWO things:
Year End Clearance Sale
Pre-ordering for Occasions Catalog & Sale-A-Bration stamps & accessories for demonstrators
I wish I could share the 2 2015 Catalogs with you, but all things in good time. I had to sneak a peek while Ann was asleep under the hair dryer yesterday.
Sneak Peek at 2015!
What inspires you to get out your stamps and create?
I just know that every time that Ann comes back from a Stampin’ Up! event, she can’t wait to get some ink on her stamps.
She even turned down dinner with someone that she hadn’t seen in a long time at a restaurant she’s been wanting to try just so she could come home and color!
Last night, she attended the Stampin’ Up! Occasions & Sale-A-Bration Catalog Kickoff in Sacramento. The wind pretty much blew her out of town. It was one of those two-fisted drives where you humans hold on to the steering wheel pretty tight.
