We’re Stamping Today!
Are you following us on Instagram? If not, you should! I’ve been participating in some training so that I can help Ann.
We’re stamping with some of my favorite stampers today. But you can get some of these projects to try at home.
Have You Checked Your Mailbox Today?
Isn’t it nice to get a card in the mail? And isn’t it even better when it’s a handmade card?
You Betcha!
If you shopped online with us last month, you should be receiving this card in the mail this week – if you haven’t already. And those of you who used the Hostess Code that we always post on the right column over here got a yard of some of that way cool Real Red 3/8″ Satin Woven Ribbon in your card.
Don’t you just love that?
And all the cards that we send are made so that you
How to Make a Starry Christmas Card Video
So you want to know how to make a starry Christmas card?
First, you have to design a card you like. I did that.
We showed this card yesterday. Just scroll down and we’ll share the video too.
I Love This Card!
Today’s card is what I’m going to call Urban Country – if there is such a thing. It’s got a more finished look than country, but it definitely doesn’t have an urban feel. What do you think?
Special Fall Card
Where do I start? With our specials today? Or with a nice Fall card?
Hold your hand up if you want the special first. Hold them up high while I count. One, two,…..uh….it looks like the card will go first.
I saw something similar to this and tried to explain it to Ann. She did the best that she could, but I think she’d make it a little different next time.
Maybe she should listen to me a little closer!
Or do you like it the way it is?
Santa Pencils & Candy Canes Video
Isn’t it nice to get something in your email inbox or your snail mail mailbox?
We like to get it too! Ann reads them to me and they’re part of what makes me keep doing what I do for you humans.
Some of you send cards. Linda and Kay like to send presents. But this time we got a special shout out yesterday from Jacqui in Australia.
She saw this video and then shared what she did for SIXTY children! and she blamed it all on me! So I’m playing it again so that
Welcome November!
We are full on into the season of sweets! So many opportunities to decorate and eat!
Halloween
Thanksgiving,
Christmas
and then finally Valentine’s Day!
Are you finding that you are stocking up your stamping stash on a regular basis?
You know you want to stamp, but you don’t know where to start? (That was Ann’s challenge years ago.)
Do you keep wishing you could get some free stamps but a stamp party doesn’t fit your plans?
Would you like to be able to make some cool projects like this?
Holy Pumpkins!
Don’t you just love it when someone says that they’ve got some good news and they’ve got some bad news?
Before I break it to you, let me share one of my all time favorite Halloween cards Ann ever made. Can you believe that she made this way back in 2008?
Everything old is new again!
Go Giants! Or Pumpkin Thank You
Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for winning the World Series yesterday for the third time in five years. PLUS it’s the first time in over 35 years that a team has won the World Series on the road in the 7th game.
So while this card is dedicated to the Giants – how convenient that their uniforms are in Halloween colors!
But you could use this card for something else too!
Gift Card Holder & Candy Holder How To Video
We shared these projects earlier this week, but now we have the video to show you how to make this quick and easy Gift Card Holder. Or is it a Candy Holder? Or is it a Money Holder?
It’s all three!
A Second Look
Have you ever had one of those days when you just couldn’t do what you wanted to get done? Well, it happens to dogs too.
The PLAN was to have a new video for you today. If it IS to be today, it will be later today. But I’m thinking tomorrow.
Are you looking forward to it? I know I can’t wait to help Ann edit the video we shot last night after the Redskins beat the Cowboys. (How exciting to have the underDOG win!)
And to prove it’s coming, I’m going to show you the Christmas version of yesterday’s project. (You’ll see this pair of pictures in the show.)
Quick & Easy Halloween Treat Holder
Today’s project is perfect for a special Halloween Treat Holder that is quick and fun. Just make a couple changes and you’re ready for another sweet treat!

Count Your Blessings Part 2
….Then yesterday, Ann spent a little time putting the Gratitude for Days Simply Created Kit together. It’s not hard, but it does take some time and planning so you can create the best looking project.
That’s why we’re going to meet here at the house and make them this Saturday on Make a Difference Day. We think that these are the best gifts for any family so that they can concentrate on the good things that are happening to them and not the daily grind.
Count Your Blessings
Today is Evaluate Your Life Day so we’re counting our blessings and decided to do it with a watercolor card.
This is an easy watercolor, but still took a little planning. Scroll down for some card making tips to help with your success. But before we share the card, we need to share some ideas over the next week to give you an excluse to send a card (as if you need one!)
