Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!

May 1, 2021

Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.

Aren't they fabulous? It was sweet & generous of her!

For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog.

Save

She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water. She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely. The fresh flowers lasted over a week!

Would you like to know how she made the basket? Well she made a template to share with you all as well! Download Sharon's Basket here

For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog.

Have a wonderful May Day!!

NEW! Flowers of Friendship card

April 30, 2021
I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in. I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black. What do you think?

Save

The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here. It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here. I did color the image in with Blends markers.

There are three new products I want to point out here:
1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge? That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList
2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog. It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party. You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150. It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white. I think they made this pack just for me! It's my new favorite!!!
3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut. It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166. It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!
