Beautiful By the Bay card kit; stunning designer paper!


This gorgeous By the Bay specialty designer paper is amazingly beautiful!  It has gold and glossy accents on one side of each page.  

It was my top choice for a January card kit; it's incredibly pretty and not just for beachy themes.  Below you'll see the 10 cards featured in my By the Bay card kit to go.  

There are 10 cards here with most being fancy folds.  The kit includes a half a package of By the Bay 6" DSP, a share of new Milky Dots and new Balmy Blue shaded ribbon AND the PDF tutorial.  Plus you'll receive the 10 pre-cut cards – everything is cut for you including the die-cut or punched pieces.  You'll just need to cut the designer paper that's in your product kit.  You'll have lots of product left to make even more cards! 

Opt in for this kit by January 19th; it will be mailed out at the end of January.  You can choose the PDF tutorial here.

*The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase.  Please check your spam or junk folder for it. 

It does not include stamped images. I used the Something Fancy stamp set but you can substitute other greetings.

  • 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.

  • Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP


    I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here. 

    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! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up!  They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.  

    The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  I love the unique and playful shape of it.  

    Below are the measurements for this card.  

    I hope you enjoy watching the video below; just click on the photo. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
