One of my talented team members, Debbi Muche, showed me a waterfall card used to hold gift cards! Super fun idea and so I created two today! Here is my video to see it in ‘action’ :

I also made a birthday version using the new Hobby Haven paper!
I have a friend who loves coffee, plants and books so this designer paper was a perfect fit.
You can see a close up of the paper HERE

There is a set of stand-alone dies in the holiday catalog called Patterned Tag Dies.
They are a nice size, 1-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. Not too big, not too small.
#165910 $31 for the 6 dies.
Watch my video below too see them a little closer!

I had a relaxing time creating these tags!
They are easier than cards since they are smaller but I still felt crafty…
a tag can slide into a little pocket on a full size card, too.
Here are a few extra ideas from the SU home office:

FYI: The Stampin’ Up website/store will be offline on April 15th from 8 am MT to 2 pm MT!
The new stampin’ rewards will begin after that!
If you already have a SU account with a login/password, you are ready! On the 15th, there will be a pop-up box to accept the new rewards program. Then you will earn 10% rewards on all purchases over $20! (Currently we have to reach $150 before earning $15) Save the credits or use them on your next order. The rewards are tied to your email and will be active for a year. If you are a regular customer of mine, look for an email from me in the next few days with more details.
BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6X6 DESIGNER PAPER #165196 $12.50 (COMING MAY 6TH!)
This designer paper is GORGEOUS….
Sometimes it’s so pretty I think it could be art on the wall!
I saw a fun idea to turn thrift store art into a Faux oil painting by adding modge podge and so i tried it on this designer paper:
I wish you could feel the texture!
For the card, I used the retired folder, Painted Texture 3D, to add more texture to the designer paper. I don’t think it is necessary – the modge podge adds enough! There is a current embossing folder that would work well called Plaster Painting 3D . It’s super sized at 6″ x 8-12″:
Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder $12 6′ x 8-1/2″
I love how the gold embossing powder looks aged – Watch my video above to see how to emboss with modge podge!

I’m setting up a small store of crafty things I use that SU does not carry. I earn a 1-3% commission on the items but buy them anywhere you get a deal, in a store, wherever you shop! I just want to have a place that was easy to show what I used.

Hi all! Changes are coming to our rewards program on April 15th! Good changes overall:)
Currently, only orders at $150 or more earn rewards (freebies)
The new program rewards all orders starting at $20! Any order $20 or more earns 10% rewards that are tied to your email – you can save them up and spend them on whatever you like. (The rewards are good for a year and the program knows to use the oldest rewards first)
What to do before April 15th? Be sure you have a stampin’ up account with a login and password. I can help walk you thru it if you don’t have one. Yes, you can still call me and email me to order if you don’t want to order online – just like we do now:) Look for an email from me this coming week with details.
On to this week’s project!! What used to be called the ‘clearance rack’ is now called Last Chance Products. The best way to see it all is to view the online store because it will have retiring catalog items as well as the out-of-catalog online items that retire, too. You can find the Last Chance area HERE.
This week I used 4 bundles that have moved to the Last Chance category. The Bright Skies bundle is a good one and I love the patterned clouds!

Hi all! I had a request this week to show the new Thank You Kindley Kit. It’s VERY hard to see what it is online….white on white but lots of texture!
Every few months SU comes out with new kits. This one was interesting to me for all the ways I could add color.
The white is elegant, nothing wrong with keeping them as is.

Hi all! We had a snow day today here in Western NC, which is a bit of a rarity!
Only 2-3 inches but it was lovely. This week is part two of the Storybook Friends Bundle ( and the whole suite is called Storybook Moments).
I’ll jump right to the video!

A squirrel that sweeps and a badger that knits… only in Storybook land!
I shortened the frame to fit the greeting in their ‘living room’
I was playing around with a faux step card and created this fun fold. It still stands up on it’s own but adds a little interest with the way it opens.
Yes! More arch dies because I do love them:)
This one just cut out the adorable bunny from the designer paper.
Ask my neighbor about chipmunks and he will tell a long story about them getting into his attic, chewing wires, the process of getting them out, and hoping to never see another one again. Ask me and I think they are adorable:)
LOTS of new products arrived this week! Pop over HERE to see them all!
