• Nothing’s Better Than cards

  July 24, 2020

  ---

  Have you noticed the 'Nothing's Better Than' bundle yet?  You will want to check it out on page 91 of the Annual Catalog.  

  Candace made two CUTE cards with it and the new Rainbow Glimmer paper. 

  First up is a fun card with a ton of stitched die-cut circles from glimmer paper for a background.  

  Save

  Her colors are Just Jade with Misty Moonlight and Early Espresso. The stitched circles are all part of the Rainbow Glimmer paper!

  Save

    

  Her next card uses the same bundle except she stamped and colored the chocolates and cookies this time.  I believe she used watercolor pencils for her coloring. 

  Save

  The 'Chocolate' greeting die-cut is the same Rainbow glimmer paper seen here!  You can see this cute bundle here.

  You'll see more swaps and talent tomorrow!

  Huge Stamping Sale!!!

  This weekend is our annual Stamping sale where many of my customers sell off their excess paper crafting supplies.  I have a fantastic crew of helpers I call my 'committee'.  They set up the sale, do the books, and basically run the entire thing!  I am so blessed to have them.  Luckily they love it but it's a ton of work!

  If you live near us in ND it's so worth a road trip!!!  Gather some friends and stop in Saturday! 

  Remember, this is not my stash!  I usually do not sell things here anymore.  I save my items for my BOGO sales. 

  Save

  Because of the huge quantity of items and the large number of sellers, I am unable to take requests for wanted items. I'm so sorry about that. I know these photos are a big tease to those who do not live near me and I apologize!  

  Save

  If you live near us in Minot, ND it's well worth a road trip!  It's Saturday from 9-3 pm for everyone.  The Early Bird sale starts Friday for my current customers (those who have shopped with me in the last 6 months).

• Amazing Flowerbug Team swaps!

  July 22, 2020

  ---

  This week and next I'll be sharing a bunch of recent card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's. 

  The first card is made by Annette with the set called From All of Us on page 93 of the annual catalog.  She used Blends markers to color the image in.  

  Save

  Her colors are Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  The card above was for last month and the one below was for July; both made by Annette.   

  This next card is a unique origami fold.  I shared the 'how to' and video on this post here.  I was grateful to Annette for demonstrating it at our last Team meeting.  So easy and it sure highlights the main image! 

  Save

  I LOVE the sign hanging on the cording!!

  This card is made with the new Cinnamon Cider; one of our newest In Colors.  She stamped the background tone-on-tone and the origami piece is made using the 6 X 6" 2020-22 In Color DSP.  The stamp set is Back on Your Feet on page 92 of the Annual catalog. 

  Stay tuned for more fabulous swaps tomorrow!
