Good Morning! This is a super short post but one that I hope makes you smile as this is a super way to package cookies….goodies…..gifts etc – we offer many products to make crafting FUN!
I cannot tell you how darn cute these bags are and I love the fact that they are food safe and perfect for cookies or treats that "the butter goodness"might leave a mark! The best thing is that they are just $4.00 – here comes a big WOOT-WOOT!
You can see that I used the Vintage Leaves Bundle and YES – I would purchase this as a bundle as it also coordinates with the another stamp set, Lighthearted Leaves Photopolymer Stamp – this is another keeper!
I used the Lots Of Labels Framelits Dies in Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla to make background for the fun sentiment. This is from the Thankful Forest Friends Clear-Mount Stamp Set….this is a great sentiment and perfect for fall and Thanksgiving!
I have a confession, I broke down and bought the stapler and guess what – it is great! WHY? it slides WAY back which makes it great for many projects but the staples are soooo teeny-tiny – super cute!
I hope that this brought a smile to your face as much as it did mine! Remember…it's that little extra touch that makes the smiles bigger….and trust me, who ever receives it will be super thrilled!
Break it down into steps…to make the process easier. You will be amazed at how fast they go and the best part – it is a super easy project!
Did I make you hungry? Inside are some soft, chewy, yummy goodness of Ginger Cookies – one of my all time favorite for Fall!
You simply cannot go wrong with these bags….make sure that you tuck them in on your next order – they are great to have one hand…."just in case" – You'll be super happy that you did!
Good Morning! I have had several people ask me my feelings about the Fast Fuse Adhesive and I thought that I would take a post to share with you my thoughts….especially since it is on the weekly deals this week!
Here are the weekly deals that Stampin' Up! is offering this week and remember, these items are revealed on Tuesday mornings and they go thru Monday night!
O.k. – there are lots of great picks this week but I want to focus on the Fast Fuse Refill. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to stock up on refills as there are 25% off just until Monday night and we all know…you can never have enough extra refills!
I have a confession, when this adhesive 1st came out….I did not like it at all. I learned that the reason that it did not work for me was simple – I was not using it correctly. Watch this short video on this product.
I highly recommend that you purchase this adhesive. I have learned to LOVE it after having a love/hate relationship with it. It is SUPER strong and it is a great and easy way to put layers together, make boxes etc….
I thought that there was a typo in the catalog as the refill is just shy of 22 yards….(the refills of the snail are just 13 yards) so this is one reason why it seems to be more expensive. When you think of this….it really is a great bang for your buck, especially since it is 25% off!
As the commercial went…."Try it…you might like it" – you have nothing to lose as Stampin' Up! guarantees all of their products so if you are not happy, no worries….
Have you tried it????
The best tip I can give you is when you pull the adhesive back towards you…..go left….(make a check mark)….then the next time you use it…..go right (make a check) – this way the adhesive will snap away….it is SUPER sticky so nothing will be going anywhere!
Good Morning! WOWZERS….after a ton of rain on the East Coast over the past several days ~ yesterday was a PERFECT Fall Day so I was inspired to make you a super sweet Fall card!

Thanks for all of your comments but now we need to get down to business….this super sweet 4 1/2" square card! You know me, it's hip to be square!
When the Holiday Catalog came out, I instantly loved this stamp set as it is super basic. It is called Cheer All Year and it coordinates with the Season To Season Wreath Project Kit (I have not blogged about this yet, but Ido have it to make for my Mother in Law) so naturally I will share it with you.
Why do I like this stamp set? Easy ~ it is super basic and super classic. It is great for cards, packaging/treats…a set that will be timeless for years to come!
The card size is a 4 1/2" card and then the smaller very vanilla is 4 1/4". Many times I pop up the layered piece with dimensionals but today I did not as I wanted the POP of the acorn get the "center stage" (I actually doubled up on the dimensionals)
The other thing that I wanted to showcase to you is the power of a bold DSP to make a statement. I know that many of you are scared of using a DSP but please give it try. (I have a confession, I have an AMAZING card to show you one day that was sent to me and it totally showcases DSP – you will LOVE IT)
The DSP is from the GORGEOUS Farmers Market Collection and I simply cut that to a 4 1/4" square and then using the stampin' trimmer (you do have it…right???) put the points to points in the track to cut it in half and then you will use 1/2 of it on the card, the other 1/2 on the back of the envelope,
The leaves were fussy cut and that was SUPER easy as the lines are so clean and easy, same for the acorn. I used the color of Early Espresso for the NUT and then the TOP is with Soft Suede.I used glue dots for the leaves and then used crushed curry bakers twine to make a simple bow, adhered with a glue dot!
I was determined to use something that I have not used in a while, candy dots! These are little gems that I suggest that you have in all color palettes, "just in case" – they are sooooooo affordable ($6.00) and give a BIG Punch for such a little thing!
Because the dots were not even, type "A" kicked in for me – …I used a sliver of soft suede to distract your eye – it works….try it – no need to stress!
FUN…SIMPLE…DONE – that's my motto and I stick by it! Thanks for popping in…thanks for you comments…thanks for being YOU! Pleas feel free to email me if you have any questions~
Oh no….I missed you all yesterday! I went to post my fun day in Atlanta (day #2) and the Internet was down at the hotel and you know me…there was no way that I would attempt to do it from my phone.
I just had to share with you more swap cards that I received! I just had a wonderful time and I was blessed to stay an extra day to “retreat and celebrate” with my upline Mary Fish and her upline, Lisa Pretto – they spoiled 7 of us to death and it was wonderful!

Super fun to the max! This little guy brings a smile to your face…INSTANTLY! Notice the tone on tone stamping with the snowflakes – this is a super fun touch!
Color…color…color & FUN – Patti always creates such a beautiful card – this is a great example of not being afraid to be bold – LOVE IT!
This is a "Susan card" – love the simplicity of it and the clean and crisp lines! This will be a great card to mass produce!
This card is just so darn beautiful, simple & classic all at the same time but I need to share with you something that Donna had on the tag that had her name on it that has left a HUGE impression on my and one that I will definitely use. I just love it, she says that she tries to carry extra cards with her, "just in case"to brighten someones day!
Below is a picture of us saying good-bye at the airport…….we just dropped Lisa off and this back drop was at the airport! What a FUN time with great people!
As wee all know – it is GREAT to be away….but there is nothing like HOME! It was wonderful to be greeted by my 7 best friends….I was a popular person but I think that they loved being at home with the "guys" – John and James did a great job! (I must admit – being away during the rain was pretty great not having 28 paws to deal with)!!!!
Please leave me a comment about Fall and I will love to send you some swap cards…..my favorites….
Watching the leaves change, soft yummy Ginger Cookies, cool & crisp weather, seeing the horses be frisky with the cool air, taking walks and enjoying the change of season…getting ready to see the kids with them coming home for the holidays!
