New Stock, Card Kit, Bead Ideas , and more.

Hello !
I have a whole list of shares ... let's go !

*Here is the first card kit of 2016 ... this kit makes 4 cards and is $6.

You get everything you need to make the four cards except the adhesive and a piece of sanding paper or sanding block. Actually, that isn't necessary if you choose to use the paper as is but it is a lot of fun to sand it and expose the pattern. So in the kit you get the card bases, 4 colours of bakers twine, 4 pieces of embossed sandable cardstock, and a 12x12 sheet of embellishments. You will have enough embellishments to put some inside the cards as well as on the fronts and then you will still have a pile left over ... for more cards, tags, or whatever you wish !

* 12x12 cardstock. After reviewing my inventory & sales, I have decided to discontinue selling 12x12 plain cardstock. Please note that I will continue selling 8.5x11 cardstock. Also I  will special order 12x12 cardstock in packages and assortments on request. I will keep stocking the rack with what I have but once it is gone, I will no longer be selling it by the individual sheet. So ... now is a good time to stock up ! I sell it for 75 cents a sheet but if you buy 20 or more sheets , it is just 65 cents. Why not choose some of your favourite colours and have them on hand ?

* Now on to new ... I have lots of lovely new papers with a good variety of themes ... dog, cat, sports, nautical. farm market, florals, beachy, chickens, boho style designs, mandalas, and more. I have put out more Valentine papers & embellishments as well. There are new dies & stamps, cute DoodlePops, washi tape, and more. I'll give you a few teaser photos and then the link to the album so you can see all 66 photos !

* Here's a handy product !

I had these made for my own cards and had extras made to sell. They are post it notes that read ...
                                              Share the love and save a tree !
                             Remove this message and add your own to send this on to a friend. 

I put 2 or 3 in a card so that I can write on the first one, and then my friend can remove that note and use the card again. With 3 post its, the card will get 4 uses !! Your lovely work will travel to several people and bypass the recycling bin !
They are $3.99 for a pad of 50.

* Swarovski Crystal Hearts ... the little crystal heart beads are so pretty and are perfect for Valentine projects !

Why not make a few earrings ? So easy and quick ! Here are a few ideas ...

Or this Swarovski crystal bracelet ?

 I have the materials all packaged up except for the wire ... crystal hearts & bicones, spacers, crimps & covers, clasp and extender. All ready to go !

Well that's it for today ! I am open Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to noon.
Hope to see you !

Ready for Valentine's Day & Lots More !

Hello !
Well the Christmas things are all gone and there are all sorts of new things to share. Time to get some serious crafting started !
I have a whole table set up with stamps, dies, stickers, bling, stencils, embellishments and more ... all in pinks & reds, with hearts and love ... to make valentine cards and projects with.

I have sorted through all the dies and stamps and tidied them all up. They are all in labeled bins, ready for shoppers. 

Now ... new things ! I have all sorts of papers to share, new embellishments, stamps, dies, and inks . I'll share a few photos and then the link so you can see the whole album. There are valentine papers, wedding papers, paper you can colour !, paper for pirates & circuses, and just plain beautiful paper. I hope there is something for everyone. 

That's just a quick sampling ! More in the link.

There are also some fun embellishments to go with those paper lines as well as matching stamps & dies. 

There are new inks including the last Distress Ink of the month for 2015 and the last 4 mini ink cubes.

I also now have the Tim Holtz Distress Glitter Dust ... and oh my !! It sparkles like no glitter I have ever seen.

A few more pictures of stamps & dies ... again just a sampling ...

This house die will be a lot of fun !
Use the die on it's own or use the stamp set to add more details .
There are stamps for every season .

Here's another fun new product - The Sizzix Sandwich booklet. If you are sometimes unsure of which plate to use with which product, this is the booklet for you ! Having this on hand will ensure that you get the best results with your dies and embossing folders. 

Here is the link to the album so you can see even more of the new products ... click on the blue highlighted date !

Lots to share today ... make yourself a cuppa and scroll through. :)

Day 12 !

Last day ... Day 12 !

Ornaments !

 Here's what you need ... tins, deer heads from Tim Holtz, glitter and (not shown) paper, ribbon, diecuts, and faux garland trim.

 Simply trace the tin , cut out a paper circle, and then glue it into the tin.
Glue a length of faux garland around the inner edge of the tin.
Now coat the deer head or even just the antlers with glue and add glitter. Let dry.
Using hot glue, add the deer head to the tin and glue ribbon on the back.
For the third ornament, I just added a chipboard diecut. Super easy !!

Well that;s the end of the 12 Days of Quick & Easy Christmas Projects ... I hope you enjoyed them and maybe found some inspiration.
Happy holidays !!
