See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video

May 3, 2023

On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up! It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. Here's one of them:

Save

It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….

Save

This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc. It's loaded!

Save

These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families. Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon. I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.

I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it. Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle. The circle also helps tone down the busy background.

Save

A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.

Save

I show how to make the scissors in the video. You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver. Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.

Save

For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer. Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us. The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like. They thought of everything on this set!!

Over $1800 donated to Minot charities with our big stamping sale Saturday

August 10, 2022
As many of you know we hold a big paper crafting sale in June of each year where my customers can sell their excess or unwanted stamping items. This year we added a second sale that we held on Saturday. Why? Sadly one of my best friends passed away last fall and together with her family we sold her collection of stamping & scrapbooking items.

Here's a picture of some of it!

Save

We did add some items that were generously donated by my customers from the big June sale. 100% of this sale was donated to charities in Minot.

Click on the bold names below to read about them. Feel free to donate to any of these non-profits if you'd like to.
- Matthew 25 – a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost.
- Hairball Haven – non-profit feline rescue. We primarily pull cats and kittens from the Minot, ND
- Project Bee – has provided overnight housing for women at local motels and apartments for chronically homeless women with mental health issues.
The craft items were marked down drastically and people noticed! Not many items were over $3 and the majority was .25 – .50 cents! Our goal was to sell as much as we could to raise money for our charities. It was the biggest success we've ever had at a sale! I am still in awe and shock at how fast the items sold. Over $1800 will be donated to these amazing organizations.

My friend was a nurse and amazingly kind & generous. She would be so happy to know we used her craft items to support others in need in our city.

We had so little left; just 6 small boxes! And the leftovers will go towards another group of ladies that make cards for prison inmates, elderly & others in need. Their group is called Folding Angels.

I apologize to those of you who could not take part due to long distance or poor timing. I know it's a tease and I'm sorry about that. But I did want to share it with you.

Special thanks to my friend Clarisse's daughter, Devin, who helped gather and sort the items to be sold. Also to my faithful and generous helpers that spent hours marking & sorting – Marilyn, Lori, Pat, Becky & Joanne plus the many that helped at the sale. It would not have been a success without the many hours of help and guidance you provided.

I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here. I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide. If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors!
