We shared a card similar to today's card earlier this month.  We used the Birch Trees from MFT Stamps and Falling Snow die from Avery Elle for both cards.  In addition to these, we used the Stitched Square Frame die and the Mini Scallop Frame die on our card below.


Here's a closer look at the cute embellishments from Doodlebug Designs.


Below is the card we shared earlier this month.

What's New Wednesday




Hello everyone!  This is Kayla here!  I've taken over the blog today (shhhh, Cathy and Mary are out of town) and Sarah and I are up to something.  We decided it would be fun to have a sale while they were away.

So, stop in the store or head over to our website.  We're giving away 10% on all regular priced merchandise through Sunday, October 2nd.  If you stop by the store, please mention the discount to us when checking out.  If you're shopping online, please use the coupon code mentioned below!  Happy crafting and happy shopping!




We thought it would be fun to mention a few of our favorite products (new and old), just in case you don't have them.  We think these would be wonderful additions to your craft room.  The links will take you to the products on our website so you can take advantage of the discount.

These ENAMEL ACCENTS are wonderful, and come in 10 yummy colors.  I'm thinking they would be great for berries on your Holiday cards, or fun accents for the centers of snowflakes!  Watch this VIDEO from Tim Hotlz featuring the new Enamel Accents.


My favorite, can't live without eraser.  This SAND ERASER removes small ink blemishes from your cards.  I can't tell you how many cards this eraser has saved from the trashcan! Jennifer Mcguire uses it in this video HERE at approximately the 3:25 minute mark.  I do however recommend watching the whole video, she created some adorable kids cards!


No more baby wipes!  I loved the convenience of baby wipes for cleaning my stamps, but hated the little fuzzies it often left behind.  The STAMP SHAMMY does an amazing job cleaning your stamps with nothing but water.  Watch a quick video HERE featuring the stamp shammy from Lawn Fawn.


This is our favorite WATERCOLOR PAPER for card making.  It's from Strathmore and is what all of our cards featured here on the blog are made with.  We love it!


Have you been making slider cards?  If so, you'll need a package of SLIDER DISCS!  Not familiar with these?  You can watch a video HERE featuring these discs and how to use them to make a slider card.



Another popular product...DOODLEBUG DESIGN WASHI TAPE




Don't forget....FREE SHIPPING for our online customers for all orders over $20.  Sorry, we currently only ship in the US.
