More embossing folders

More Cuttlebug embossing folders are in! I have restocked the Fall and Halloween, along with new Christmas and flower folders too. I have a bunch on special order, if you are looking for something special just let me know and I can order it in for you.

Here is a card I made with one of the new ones in today. I needed a "guyish" card and with the right colors this one works great!

Cuttlebug folders

New Cuttlebug embossing folders are here for Fall and Halloween! The ones I had in were sold out, but more will be in this week... including a spider web template too.

Here is a card I made using the "Boo to You" folder. I love Halloween!!

a BIG thank you!

I just wanted to send out a big "thank you" to everyone who came to our 1st ever Sidewalk Sale! We had a fabulous turn out (...before the rain came).
I also want to thank the girls that came to sell too. We were having fun for the first hour and a half, then things ended quite abruptly when the rain came out of no where.
Oh well, this is Erie... we know we have crazy weather!
We also raised some money to help out the Erie Humane Society.

Cherry Blossoms and Butterflies

In this class we will be making 4 stamped cards with a matching card purse to hold them. Each of the 4 cards is a different size and will have an envelope to match.

These cute cards are a theme set with cherry blossoms, owls, birds, and butterflies. The picture below shows the matching purse that they fit into. The card purse is slightly different in size than the one we did before due to the measurements on the Scor-pal.

Have you seen Dew Droplets and weren't sure what to do with them? Each card will have a few of these little embellishments attached. Here is a close up of the Dew Droplets and the pearl brads that are on the purse.

Almost all of the supplies in this class are from Basic Grey.

This set of cards would be nice to keep but would also make a beautiful gift!

The class sizes will be kept small because the cards are somewhat intricate and are made with rubber stamps. They are on display at the store if you would like to see them close up.

simple wedding

I needed a wedding card for this weekend, so I used my new favorite Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I made 2 different versions of the same card... not sure which one I liked better.



The front says "Mr. & Mrs." and is popped up for a little dimension. The organdy ribbon adds an elegant feel for a wedding card.


I have a few of these Cuttlebug folders in stock, and will have a couple more in on Wednesday. I havent seen any of the newer Cuttlebug stuff at Michael's or AC Moore yet. I also have some Halloween embossing folders coming soon too!

Trip to the Zoo

This class is for a 6x6 scrapbook album called "Trip to the Zoo". The project you will complete will be a full album, all you will need to do is add your photos later!

This album contains alot of embellishments such as:

Brads, ribbon, spiral clips, punches, stickers, flowers, gems, and more!

I only have 23 kits available for this class so dont wait to sign up!

Supplies needed:
Adhesive and pop dots

Cost: $20 and needs to be pre-paid to hold your spot.

Just playing with my rectangle Nestabilities! Its hard to see in the picture, but the white rectangle has an embossed edge around it.
I pulled out some Basic Grey "Hang Ten" paper to go with the brown and navy cardstock I was using.
I used a Stampin Up set to stamp the wording. The outside says "Let your hair down", inside verse reads "Life is short!"

New organization

Normally I keep all my "must-have" supplies in my carousel organizer, but my pencils were taking up alot of room so I decided to reorganize a bit.

I like my tools close by when I am working. I thought I would keep all my watercolor pencils in this oblong glass vase filled with tiny clear stones. I used an old set of Stampin Up rub-ons to decorate the glass.

Rub-ons arent just for scrapbooking... you can use them on other surfaces too. I love the look of rub-ons when they are used on clear surfaces.

I also placed tiny pink Doodlebug gems in the centers of about 6 of the flowers for a little bling!

*TIP: Use the Basic Grey rub-on tool for easy application *

More Dew Droplets

More Robin's Nest Dew Droplets will be back in stock on Thursday afternoon!

If you arent familiar with Dew Droplets, they are tiny, flat backed, dome topped stones.

Mixed colors come in jars and the single colors come in the round containers. They are great for accenting cards and scrapbook pages. Just glue down with glue dots, glossy glaze, or liquid mono adhesive. Not sure which adhesive to use.... just ask one of us to show you.

Shaker card

I havent made a shaker card in a LOOOONG time, but its easy to make your own frames with the square Nestabilities. This 6x6 card is filled with sand so when you shake it the sand rolls around like Changito is really at the beach.

Here is a better close-up of the sand.
The front of the card says "Have a Beach-n Birthday!"
Supplies used: Prisma pencils, gamsol, Nestabilities, and Bazzill cardstock.

Graduation

I made this 6x6 card for Rose's daughter who graduated from Collegiate Academy.
Brilliant Blue and YoYo Yellow were as close as I could get for her school colors. I used my Nestabilities to cut and emboss the circles and the scallop.

Nestabilities

Nestabilities dies will be arriving soon!

These die cuts work in the Spellbinders Wizard machine and can also be used in the Cuttlebug too. They cut and emboss in scalloped and regular shapes. If you are familiar with them and are looking for a special shape just let me know. Otherwise, watch for special demonstations! You will love them...

Here is a link that Nicole K. posted, its a great You Tube video that shows which machines you can use with the Nestabilities.

New items arriving!

New items are always arriving, but here are a few of the big ones...

The new Crop-a-dile Big Bite is just as great as the regular crop-a-dile but this one has a 6 inch reach! Now you can silently set eyelets, snaps, or grommets anywhere on your scrapbook page. It also punches holes through almost anything.... metal, chipboard, leather, plastic, and more.

Scor-Pals are arriving too. This tool lets you score (straight!) multiple times without moving the paper around. The scor-Pal has dimensions for gatefold and other odd measurement cards too. This is a "must have" for anyone who is tired of crooked lines from their Fiskar blade.

Call if you want me to set one of these items aside for you.
