April’s card kit to go


I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month.  This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each!  Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too!  Look! 

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!

  • a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here. 
  • 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
  • a full package of Pearl jewels
  • a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
  • the pre-cut kit!  It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
  • You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. 


I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine.  In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both.  Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount! 

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial.  Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone. 

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop.  Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th! 

Here are some comments from happy customers: 

  • Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.
  • Wow!  That was slick!  I’m sure I will be ordering more from you in the future.
  • I absolutely LOVE your cards and can't wait to get my fingers inky!!
  • I just received the March card kit and love it!  Please sign me up for the monthly kits. 
  • LeeAnn, I purchased this class last Sunday.  I made all the cards, and had a great time.  I loved all the different folds and color choices.  Thanks for making my week!

  • Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set


    I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

    I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

    In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

    I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

    The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!

    Get the details & see my other 2 cards in the video below:

  • Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!


    Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago.  I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet! 

    She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it.  See this bundle here. 

    Isn't it cute!?  She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back. 

    The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box.  Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.  

    *Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish.  Smart! 

    She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird. 

    The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock.  She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc.  The belly is in White and is also punched out.  

    It's just the sweetest little treat!  Thank you Marilyn!

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


    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!  

    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.
