December 9, 2025

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Little Ladybug Spinner Card!!

January 17, 2020
This fabulous spinner card was made by my friend Susie Wood; she sent one to me as we like to make cards for each other to share with our customers. I love her style so much. Visit her blog here.

Isn't it adorable?! It's classic Red, Black & White; perfect for the Ladybug set. The center circles are 1 3/4" and 2" in size. The Black piece is 4" X 3 1/4" in size and that circular opening is 2 3/8" using the Circles Collection dies and punches.

This cute stamp set is FREE with any $300 order placed during Sale-a-Bration; January through March 2020. If you don't think you can swing that large of an order I have a few suggestions for you.
1. Have a workshop/party and invite your friends. Their orders will add up so you can earn it free!
2. Place one big order (if you can). You'll get 6 free $50 Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and earn $36 in free hostess benefits.
3. Have a book party; inviting your fellow stamping friends to order. I can open a host code so all of the orders can be shipped to each person's ome. Sale-a-Bration is a great time to order! Free products for each $50 you spend.
4. Purchase the starter kit and join as a Demonstrator! Then you get 20% off your $300 order so you're really spending just $240 to earn this set! Plus you would get 6 free Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and $36 in free hostess benefits.
All you need for a spinner card is a window, something to spin and some string or thread. She used our Silver metallic thread here. The window is made with our Circles Collection Framelits.

Watch the FB live replay video below to see how it's done.

You might wonder where the black polka dots came from. She used a sponge dauber! So easy!!

Below you can see both cards I demonstrated on my Facebook Live this week. Click below to see it. Be sure to follow my page so you don't miss it each week on Tuesday's at 11 am CT.

Cute Little Ladybug projects!

January 16, 2020

I created some adorable projects on my Facebook Live this week with the Little Ladybug's stamp set! Check it out here. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT I'm Live here. **Although it will be on Wednesday, January 22nd next week instead.

We made them at my Flowerbug's Team meeting on Saturday too.

The Little Ladybug stamp is found at the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's FREE with any $300 order. Tomorrow I'll share ideas on how you can earn it yourself.

Or place an order with me during January and get in on the prize drawing for one lucky person who will get this stamp set free!

The card above on the left was made by my friend Susie Wood; it's a spinner card! I loved it so much I had to make one. I'll share the details on that card tomorrow and another card next week.

I used punches to create the windows on this card from the 5 1/4" X 4" Black CS; it's really a great way to highlight your images. Sometimes I struggle with smaller images; just what do you do with them to create a great card?!

You could use anything in the windows; greetings, flowers, critters – the sky's the limit! Look at your stamps in a whole new way!

Did you notice the 'fussy cut' greetings? I have a tip for you! Save the paper backing on your red rubber stamps and use it as an outline to trace over your stamped greeting. Or if you didn't save it, trace the main rubber stamp itself. Save the template in your stamp case for repeated use.

Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

January 15, 2020

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too.

And guess what?! They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month! It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves. It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration. There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I'll share more on that soon.

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White. It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly. It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate. Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon!

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go. Click here to get the details on it. Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards! All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

You can see these products in my online store by clicking on the photos below. If you are reading this in an email you won't see the photos. You'll need to click on the title of this blog post to get to my actual blog. Then you'll see everything!
