I'm Happy Stampin'

For anyone who loves the embossing look on their cards and projects, this Texture Boutique is perfect for you! It is compact and adorable! It works with our entire embossing folders line, however it will not cut so you cannot use it with any of the dies. With a few quick turns of the handle you will have embossed accents to add to all your paper crafts! It starts at just $29.95 for just the machine or you can order a bundle with two exclusive embossing folders for $39.95. Supplies are very limited on this item as it is a trial run to see if there is any interest from customers. This item is perfect for anyone not yet ready to get the die cutting sysytem but really loves the embossed look. And for me who already had the die cutting system, I emboss a lot and this looks like it will fit on my desk so I can emboss without having to go to my big shot, which I can't keep on my desk. I have had many Cricut owners ask about embossing, here is your answer! Watch the video below to se

All SUPPLIES Stampin' Up!: brights designer series paper stack, early espresso bakers twine and the Mixed Medley hostess stamp set I made these adorable witches brooms for my club class this last week. They were so simple and quick. I purchased chocolate twizzlers from the store and packaged them in our 1" cello bags. I then cut a piece of designer series paper 2-3/4" x 9". I fringed the top of my paper about 3/4" from the top and 1-1/2" from the bottom all the way along the 9" length. You will find that the designer paper has about 1/2" between the bottom and top fringe, that is where I placed my adhesive, all the way across. I took that designer paper and wrapped it, adhesive facing in, around my twizzler, a little less than 1-1/2" up and not quite flush with the end of the licorice. By leaving a little space between the end of the paper and where your twizzler ends lets the broom bottom fan out just a bit. I hope that makes sense. I

Here is another wonderful SU! video. I just love these. So did you see this card in the catalog? I did and I thought it was adorable. Well now with this video I see it is simple to do too. I can't wait to try it. I will be sure to demonstrate this card at my upcoming classes. If you have not yet signed up for a September class be sure to check out my "classes" page and RSVP today.

Ever wonder where we demonstrators get our great ideas? From Stampin' Up! of course! And other creative demonstrators too. That's what I love about what I do, the community of demos is one of sharing and fun! Most of what I do is an extension of what someone else may have shared. It's a compilation of many things sometimes. And when all else fails, SU! is there with videos like these. This little box is adorable and I had to share it with you. I can't wait to see how you adapt it and make it your own. I can see it as a birthday theme or a treat for a new mom. Feel free to link back a picture to this post and share what you did! Thinking you might want 20% off of all your SU! products plus an opportunity to have your business pay for itself and even earn a little extra? You can become a SU! demo for just $99! And through September 16th you will get an adorable Halloween shadow box kit FREE. The kit includes the lovely Toxic Treats set, bakers twine, basic rhinestomes

This card layout is from the 2012 Holiday Catalog, which is why it is "cased" Copy And Share with Everyone. I changed it a bit of course! We made this cute card at my last stamp club meeting. Isn't the new designer series paper gorgeous?  Supplies Stamp set: Perfectly Preserved Ink: raspberry ripple and early espresso Paper: Orchard Harvest designer series paper; early espresso, island indigo, lucky limeade, and whisper white card stock Accessories: island indigo ruffled ribbon, scallop punch and dimentionals I especially love the apples from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set. We popped out the top and bottom apples but the middle one is actually 3 apples glued back to back. I have a quick tutorial to show you. You want to start by stamping and die (or punching as the case may be) cutting 3 apples. You will want to fold each of these in half. I lined them up and put glue on my center apple. I made sure that they are all facing the same way, you don'
