Awesome fundraiser last weekend!


Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers. 

I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving.  A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it.  Here are some pictures of our goods. 


We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!  


Here's a little information on these two organizations:

Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes.  They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes.  An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town.  Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.   

Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to.  They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills.  Here's a link to their FB page. 

I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.

  • Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents


    Our Team swap theme was to use foil or heat embossing on our cards. This was a fun theme that is especially easy around the holidays.

    Today I’m sharing Jonna’s stunning card in Black, Silver & White:

    It’s a ‘Wow’ card for sure! She textured the Basic Gray card layer with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here first and then rubbed it with Versamark ink. Then she heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Just gorgeous!

    Her measurements are as follows:
    – Embossed layer 3 1/2″ square
    – Black layer 3 3/4″ square, Black greeting layer 3 3/4″ X 1 1/4″
    – White is 4″ X 5 1/4″, White greeting layer is 3 1/2″ X 1″

    The greeting is from the Branching Out stamp set.

    It’s a beautiful card Jonna!

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

    The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

    This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

    Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

    The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

    These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

    This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
    I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

  • A great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.

    Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
    I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

    I love this technique!!

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

  • New! Delicate Framing Easel card with free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. I also have a free project sheet for you as well.

    It features one of our new online products called Delicate Framing; a beautiful greeting set.

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, White & Gold foil. The other products include Creative Haven dies (new), Everyday Arches dies, Gold & Black twine & the Textured Notes stamp set (leaves).
    Here are the Creative Haven dies:

    I focused on these two new products in my projects – the Creative Haven dies seen above for the leaves and the Delicate Framing stamp set for it’s greetings. Both are new this month.

    Aren’t the greetings wonderful? See the Delicate Framing set here.
    As you can see, it’s an easel card which is quite simple to make. Add a second score line in the middle of your card base front and add something to the inside to hold it up.

    You can print or download the free project sheet here. *I recommend saving them to a file for easy access.

    Below is the video tutorial for this pretty card and one more featuring these products.
