More Cutest Cow projects by our Artist of the Month!

March 29, 2024

Wait until you see the rest of Deloris's projects with the Cutest Cow bundle!

This first card is a fun scene in an accordion style or 'stepper card' that she cased from Queen Bee Creations.

She used Granny Apple Green with Black & White. She added a sky background using blending brushes. She fussy cut her grass. The greeting is punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

Measurements:

Card base 5 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 1/2", 5", 6 3/4", 8 1/2" & 9 3/4"
Grass layers are 5 1/4" wide and approximately 2" & 1 5/8" high
White sponged layer 5" X 3 3/4"
Black is 5 1/4" X 4"

Next is a fun play on a 'purple cow'. Have you ever had that drink? Ice cream added to grape soda – yum!

Save

How cute is this!? Her colors include Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Black & White. The die-cuts are from the wonderful & popular Nested Essentials dies seen here.

Save

And lastly a scene directly from the farm! Deloris used to have milk cows on her farm so she knows cows!

Save

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Black & White. The designer paper is from the Glorious Gingham pack seen here. The Banner greeting die is also from the Nested Essentials dies.

Thank you Deloris for sharing your incredible projects with us!

As you can see with her adorable projects, the Cutest Cow bundle is super cute & fun to create with! The stamp set & punch will be sold in the new Annual Catalog coming out in May. It will not be available in a bundle at 10% off though; the items will be sold separately.

Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set

August 12, 2022

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!

Save

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!

Save

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!!

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

August 11, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

Save

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.

Save

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

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.
