Trusty Toolbox Bridge fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

If you love fun folds you'll appreciate my weekly videos. I like to share fancy fold cards or techniques in my Tuesday Live videos – seen each week at 11 am CT. If you enjoy watching Live please subscribe to my Facebook page here.  Or watch them later on my YouTube channel here.  

Don't you love this special card?!  Men's cards can be hard to make; many of use gals lean towards florals don't we? I appreciate when Stampin' Up! brings us products we can make for our men.

My colors include Black, Poppy Parade, Pebbled Path, Gray Granite & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. I think Stampin' Up! was so clever to create designer paper that mimics tools, toolbox and peg board!

I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.

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

    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.

    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.

    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! 

    Sweet Songbird Basket. 2.JPG 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.

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

  • 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!  

    Aug sale all 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.

  • 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.
