Happy Grandparents Day!
We’ll start off this Sunday with the important days coming up this week. We leave off ones like Monday being Iguana Awareness Day and instead list ones that you could send a card for.
To Bow or Not
Have you ever had a time when you weren’t sure whether to add that one last thing to your card? Did you like the project both ways and just didn’t know what to do?
Well, in this house, the sides have squared off. Ann’s open. I think one way. My favorite huMAN (who likes EVERYTHING) likes it the other way.
The card must go out, so which do you say? Do we send it with a bow or without a bow? Just leave a comment by clicking here.
Our Top 5 Favorites
How can anyone pick just 7 favorite things from over 50 pages of stamps and accessories in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Seasonal Catalog?
Well, I’m going to try. Then I’ll ask you to leave us your 5 favorites when you leave your comment here. Who knows? I may have a little blog candy to give someone who participates.

Baby Wipe Technique Video
Jan asked about how to do the Baby Wipe Technique we showed in this card last month so Ann made me work on my birthday to direct a new video to show you how!
We’ll do anything for our clients that’s not immoral or illegal.
This is an easy and fun technique, but it’s not the only way you can use Baby Wipes in card making and paper crafting. Here’s a close up of the technique.
Happy Birthday to Me!
Yes, today is a big day! Today I turn 9! And it's been a wonderful 8-1/2 years with you! (Ann started the blog on my 6th month birthday.) I'm going to try and make this a quick bark because I've decided that Ann should take me out for something special today. I've...
Get Well Soon Card
When my favorite huMAN got sick, our 24/7 Stamper Karen got busy and made ALL of us handmade cards. You’ll see my birthday card tomorrow to celebrate my birthday, but today, I’ll show you the shaker card she made to wish my favorite huMAN to get well soon.
Sending Our Sympathy Card
Isn’t it sad to hear when a friend as lost a loved one? Is it hard for you to make a card for them? Or do you find it helpful for you to work through your sadness?
In our house, we like to make them as we go, but that can sometimes slow down the process so that the card doesn’t arrive as fast as what we’d like.
If that’s the case or if it’s hard for you, here’s a card you can make in advance and…
Halloween Card Re-Do
Have you ever made a card and immediately thought that something could be better? That happens to me and Ann too.
In fact, it happened with yesterday’s card. You can see it here.
Now that you’ve seen it, please look at this one and let us know which one you like better.
2 Step Pumpkin Stamps
Do you have a hard time carving a face on your pumpkin? Do you dread Halloween because of the mess of pumpkin carving?
It is so easy to paint a smile on the pumpkins on your Halloween cards with a Stampin’ Up! 2-step stamp set like Fall Fest. I was so happy to see that Stampin’ Up! came out with another pumpkin set that we can paint faces on. I just can’t bark enough praises!
But THIS one has a matching framelit set so you don’t have to fussy cut. AND you can save 15% when you buy the bundle together.
Ann’s so out of practice with her sponging that I did it for her. I hope I wasn’t too heavy pawed.
Free Exclusive Stamp Set
Yes, I’m barking about a free stamp set that you won’t see just anywhere. And it’s so easy to get! Just place a $300 order! OR ask Ann to assign you a special Hostess Code and you can add all your friends orders together for a $300 silent party.
Either way, here’s the cool set that you’ll be getting.
Tomorrow’s a Big Day!
Yes, tomorrow’s a big day for several reasons. Yesterday was a big day because it was National Dog Day. For those of you who think I didn’t celebrate – think again. Ann broke me out of the doggy spa and gave me LOTS of hugs and kisses.
But tomorrow….
Christmas of a Different Color
What color Christmas cards do you like to make? Traditional red and green? Silver and blue?
This Christmas card is made with some of the Stampin’ Up! In Colors: Coastal Cabana; Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding.
It was a toss up whether to feature the
It’s a Baby Shower!
When’s the last time that you went to a baby shower. Ann hasn’t been to one in years, but she went to a special one yesterday.
The first time mom was very pretty and happy.
A Bit Too Much Color?
Have you ever heard the saying that “everything old is new again”?
Well, it’s really true!
Years ago, there was a technique called
Pet Sympathy Card
No one likes to lose their pet. And none of the rest of us want to make those cards.
And I CERTAINLY hope Ann doesn’t have to get one any time soon either!
But since the Square Collection Framelits are on sale for 25% off this week, I thought that this would be a grrrrreat card to share with you. and I’ll show you a few steps to help you do what I told Ann to do.
