Three Down Four to Go!!

Well, I just finished my 3rd set of 10 cards!! They're all pretty simple and took me a few hours to complete all of them.


This card uses Stampin' Up!'s new set Merry & Bright from the Holiday Mini. I used the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder for the background. I cut the smaller ovals using Sizzlets dies, the scalloped oval is the Mega Marvy punch. The snowman is watercolored using Twinkling H2O's. Paper colors include Tempting Turquoise and Orchid Opulence. Ribbons are from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts: Polka Dot Organdy in White with White Dots & May Arts Silver Cord.


This card is made from a set of premade embossed cards and envelopes. The card had a blank square in the center of an embossed grid. I sponged Bashful Blue ink around the outside of the square. I stamped the snowflake (Stampin' Up! The Snowflake Spot) in Night of Navy craft and embossed with Navy embossing powder. I used the following ribbons from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts: 1/4" Navy Organdy, May Arts Silver Cord, and Light Blue Gingham.


This card also uses the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. The large circle is a Sizzlets die, the scalloped circle and snowflaker are Cuttlebug dies. The oval is a Stampin' Up! punch. I stamped "sparkle" (Stampin' Up! Warm Words) using Brilliant Blue craft ink and embossed using Hologram Highlights embossing powder. Ribbons used are from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts and include satin edge organdy with metallic stripe and May Arts gold cord.

7 Cards in 7 Days!!

I have been so busy the last few months with the move and building the business website, packing and shipping orders. I realized a few days ago.....ack.....we are nearly in December and I still have only about 20 Christmas cards made.

I am therefore issuing myself a challenge! I will complete 10 each of 7 designs, for a total 0f 70 cards, which will give me enough Christmas cards for this year. Keep an eye out here and I will post a photo of each card as I complete 10 of them. Hopefully I can complete it in less than 10 days!

OK, I'm off to stamp!

Eyelets are in!!

The individual colors of eyelets are now in stock in our store! We also have color family sets as well.

Watch this weekend for grosgrain! We'll start with 1/4" and add more widths in the next month. At first we'll only have individual colors, but hopefully our final shipment will arrive at the end of the week or early next week. At that point, we'll be offering sets and we'll even have a sale!

I was designing a card today for the OR/WA SCS gathering. This was my first design, but I switched to more fall colors for the swap.

The stamp sets in this card are Heartfelt Thanks, Aida Cloth background, and Autumn (thanks). I used SU's Regal Rose, Rose Red, and Always Artichoke watercolor crayons on the bold image. I colored the outline stamp with my Handsome Hunter and Rose Red markers. From the photo, you can barely tell, but there are gold Stickles in the center of the flower.

The ribbons are Cranberry 3/8" organdy from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts. I also used a new satin edge organdy I will be carrying on my site in the next week or so. I must say, I love ribbons, and this one makes me particularly thrilled. The combination of organdy, satin edge, and gold stripe are just amazing!!

The paper colors used are Purely Pomegranate and Always Artichoke.

Shipping Update

All brads and eyelets have now shipped. I have 3 remaining participants who sent checks recently and they have not yet had a chance to clear the bank. I will be shipping those sets next week.

If you did not receive a notification e-mail from PayPal and you paid via PayPal, check your payment for tracking information.

Thanks everyone!!

Remember you can still purchase them on my site (link to the right). You can also purchase individual colors to replenish your sets or for special projects. I also have 48 colors of organdy ribbon in 3 widths. I'll have 86 colors of grosgrain coming soon as well!

PayPal Shipping Issues

I was in the middle of printing shipping labels at PayPal tonight for the remainder of the brads when they suddenly lost the connection with the USPS. I'll try again tomorrow morning to print the rest of the labels. Just wanted to let all of my eager brad addicts know!
