I made up some small note cards for the treat bags I am making up for my neice and nephews in Texas. I thought this cute little puppy would be perfect to attach to the bags with ribbon.
What's nice about this stamp and some of the others from Rubber Soul, is that the words are on the side of the block. That way you dont have to always use the words with that image. It's like getting 2 stamps for the price of 1!
We will be making 4 cards with envelopes and will be stamped with different greetings.
This is a beginners level class so don't worry if you haven't done this technique before. My only warning is that if you are bothered by Arthritis or other hand problems this class may not be comfortable for you.
The inside of this card is stamped with "a little birdie told me it was your birthday!"
These cute little mini pails are super cute for giving as a small gift!
I am really working hard on getting *it* together from now through February. If you missed out on the Valentine box class, don't worry! I have another explosion box class planned and a card class too. Stay tuned to the blog and to the FaceBook posts so you don't miss any special announcements.
In this workshop we will be making a Valentine Explosion Box. When you remove the lid the box opens up to reveal layers of pockets.
Normally inside the pages and pockets you would put photos, but this one is meant to hold candy and the pockets contain tags with fun little Valentine coupons. Of course, there is room to put some small photos on if you choose.
Almost everything will be precut, scored, and ready to assemble. The supplies you will need to bring are: adhesive, paper cutting scissors, and a small paper trimmer. There is one sheet of paper you will need to cut some strips from.
Here is a close up of a few of the tags. There will be 8 total tags to the project.
There are lots of new Valentine papers in too.
Just another Valentine card using one of the new Rubber Soul stamps. The background paper is from the Monkey Business line from Reminisce.
More new JustRite monogram stamp sets are in. These sets have new fonts in them too! 
Also in is the Deluxe Square monogram kit. This is something different from the rest because the block is square and includes 3 sizes of letters. You can check out the JustRite website for some beautiful samples: www.JustRiteStampers.com
It seems like Valentines Day is still far enough away but it will be here before we know it! I ordered in these cool little chipboard books (actually about 9x5) with the matching paper from Little Yellow Bicycle.
Whats cool about the matching paper pad is that the paper is pre-punched and is perfectly sized to fit the chipboard pages that have a decorative edge to them. The book even contains 3 metal rings to hold it together.
The paper tablet also contains a sticker sheet and some extra paper to add to the book for accents. I just added in some self-adhesive gems to sparkle it up a bit. This book was SO EASY to assemble, it took no time at all! I just need a few more pictures to be completely finished.
I have 12x12 sheets of red and pink glitter paper just in too! I used the Cricut to cut out my own letters.
I posted to the FaceBook site earlier this week that there were new stamps in from Memory Box. The card above was made from a really pretty stamp called "Cattail Birds". I colored the image with markers and cut/embossed the scalloped square with Nestabilities.
I just love the natural look to these stamps! Usually I prefer the cutesy looking stamps, but these are just gorgeous. Hopefully I will be getting around to make more samples.
Here is a better view of more of them.
Select Cuttlebug and Sizzix Christmas folders are on sale for 30% off! These wont last long and may be retired before next year's Christmas comes around again.
I havent worked on my pages in a while and I wanted to test out my new mini printer so I made up this 12x12 page.
Some super cute Valentine stamps arrived from Rubber Soul. Some of the stamps even have a matching saying on the side of the block!
