Making a Rainbow Halloween Card
We mixed up all the holidays when I had Ann make this rainbow Halloween card. I mean, when is the last time you saw a rainbow on Halloween? If you did, I'm sure you forgot about it by now. How We Mixed Up This Rainbow Halloween Card We used a Christmas greeting along...
Warm Welcome for Cat Lovers
I'm sure that you're probably surprised that I'm laying out the welcome mat for cat lovers today. But I am! There are two reasons to roll out the welcome mat and we used them both on today's card. Warm Welcome for Cat Lovers We were so excited to open up our Stampin'...
How About a Basket of Happiness?
Now, wouldn't you love a basket of happiness delivered to your doorstep today? The kids ore off to school (hopefully). Perhaps you can get a little time for yourself. Perhaps some time for stamping - make a card or two for some friends. Or perhaps make a card like...
YIKES! It Ends Today!
Sale-a-Bration started July 1st. And now it's time to say it's done - all because it ends tomorrow. We just don't want you to end up like this lady. If you had your heart set on something, you may want to be sure what you want is there. Up to Date Availability Check...
How About a Quick and Cozy Christmas?
Have you started your Christmas cards yet? How would you feel about some quick and cozy Christmas cards? Stampin' Up! has introduced a kit that I may have barked about before. But it's so nice that I feel I must bark about it now. Besides getting the supplies and...
Don’t Let This Happen to You
We're going to file today's post under "don't let this happen" - to you or anyone else. You see, Ann needed to stamp something really quick to share with you, but two things happened that were not totally under her control: The picture doesn't look near as good as the...
Card Within a Card
When is one card not enough? That's when you make a card within a card. It's a perfect card when you have a lot of words and feelings to share with the recipient. Ann made a version of this card with our Stamp & Play peeps on Thursday night. Card Within a Card You...
Pretty Pink Gift Card Holder
Oh, what fun we had yesterday during out live stream making a pretty pink gift card holder. Ann even slipped up and mentioned my name in the beginning! I'm not surprised. She looks at pictures of me almost every day. She's not looking for them, but it's all her own...
Making a Fast Simple Card
Want to make a fast, simple card? Today's card may be right up your alley. We bought the Brushed Shapes Dies, but once they came, we didn't know what to do with them! And then, Sale-a-Bration came and brought us just the right stamp set - Amazing Phrasing. And you can...
Take a Peek
How would you like to take a peek at what we're doing around here at Central Bark? Well, our somewhat new apprentice having some of his body parts removed later this month. Then Ann's been working on a class and Master Stamper projects. We have at least two Master...
Rules for Dressing a Gnome
Do you think there are rules for dressing a gnome? We asked that question on yesterday's show and no one seems to know. Why do you think that is? Because there aren't any rules for dressing a gnome! Since we wanted to make a back to school gnome, Beverly suggested...
Making a 5 Minute Thank You Card
We made this card quickly. I have to ask you - is this 5 minute thank you card too busy? We had already stamped the main leaves on Very Vanilla. The piece has been here on the stamp table for a few weeks. Ann was making other cards last night and then decided to use...
Seasonal Animal Treat Boxes
Ann went to a shoebox swap for demonstrators on Saturday, but she brought seasonal animal treat boxes instead of a card project. What are seasonal animals? Well, we are approaching the annual season of chocolate. It starts off with Halloween and candy all around for...
Island Birthday Card
Have you stamped anything this week? Ann made an island birthday card this weekend. Unfortunately, her son-in-law won't get the card in time because his birthday was Tuesday. He went to Hawaii for the first time with Ann's human daughter this year. So we thought that...
Easy to Make, Easy to Mail Card
We love to make all kinds of cards. Quick cards, easy cards, challenging cards - but we'd like them all to be easy to mail cards. When we make square cards, we like them to fit into a standard Medium Envelope so that you don't have to pay extra postage. We try not to...
