The new QuicKutz dies are out and are a big hit! If you have a party in your plans, you should really consider some of these new dies! I decided to take a few minutes and play with a couple over the weekend!

My neighbor’s birthday is the 4th of July. I was out of town for most of the weekend, but when I got back I wanted to give her a little something! I used the Gift Bag Cookie Cutter die, cutting it out with my Epic Six Tool. I stuck a flower and a button on the front, some candy inside and put it with a card and I was done! It made a cute gift in minutes!

Next, I used the Cracker Box die. This one is perfect for wedding or shower Thank You gifts! It goes together really quickly and you can embellish it with ribbon, flowers, tags, etc.! I used Petaloo Flowers to embellish mine and put some small candy inside!

This would be a fun treat to take to the office “Just Because”! Hmmm….. maybe I should take my own advise and make some to bring in to our office!   A little surprise treat always makes the day better!

I’m looking forward to playing with some of the other new dies and posting them!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Wow! I can’t believe that it is already Friday! May is speeding by super fast! Of course, with all the cool, rainy weather we have had in Utah, it doesn’t feel like spring yet! That is a good thing when it comes to waiting  for the latest items that have been released this month! I  just want to stay inside where its warm and play with the latest stamp sets from Just Rite Stampers! They are amazing as usual!

The cards below are made using the Smile Set. You receive four 2″ design centers with four extra wide borders, for a total of 3 1/4″. You will need the 3 1/4″ Wood Stamper.

This stamp set coordinates with the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Small, Big Scalloped Circles Large, and Big Scalloped Circles Small Nestabilities.

DCWV Natural Mat Stack, Natural Solid Cardstock Mat Stack, Just Rite Stampers Smile Set, Spellbinders Classic Circles Large, Want2Scrap Nestabling Heart Circles BrownR. Add a flower by Petaloo and some brass embellishments!

Spellbinders Labels Sixteen, Classic Circles Large, DCWV Linen Closet Mat Stack, Linen Closet Solid Cardstock Mat Stack, 1/8″ Scor-Tape, chalk and ribbon.

Making the perfect card is so easy with stamps! What in the world did we ever do without them? I think I have blanked that out on purpose because I don’t ever want to go back to life without them!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

It is crunch time to get you gifts done for Mother’s Day if you haven’t already! Here’s an idea for a card box if your mom likes cards, but needs a place to store them, or you can fill the box with pre-made cards for her to use when needed! Of course I used roses, because that is what mom’s like! Right?

The paper I used for my tin box  is the Rustic Paper Stack from DCWV ( It is an exclusive to JoAnn Stores), and the Shimmer Stack for the roses. To cut the roses I used QuicKutz Roses die. Easy! I cut it out with my Cuttlebug Machine then rolled them up and glued them in place with some Zip Dry Paper Glue!

I used Spellbinders Lacey Ovals to cut a copper frame from the Precious Metals Premium Craft Foils, then topped with Classic Ovals Small stamped with a saying from Just Rite Stampers The Greatest Joy Borders & Centers Set! I finished it off with flowers from Petaloo Canterbury Collection Rose & Berries Branch and some ribbon!

This was a lot of fun! It took me a minute to practice making the roses with some regular paper, but found that the thicker card stock made it easier! Just roll it up with your fingers and let go for it to take shape, then glue it where you want it!

Have fun making your Mother’s Day projects!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Introducing the brand new Basic Grey 6×6 Hello Luscious and Life of the Party Paper Pads! I tell you, I can’t seem to get caught up with getting all of this adorable paper! The manufacturers are putting it out faster than my paycheck can keep up! Oh well, they keep my mind spinning with ideas!

Here are two projects using these new paper pads:

I used three different patterns from Hello Luscious Paper Pad for this first card. Using the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accent for the paper embellishment and Petaloo’s Canterbury Collection Rose and Berries Branch (Mauve). I just cut off a piece of it for my card and tied a ribbon around the stem! The stamp is from Stampin’ Up!

This is a birthday card for my youngest son, who just went into Basic Training! (Go ARMY N.G.!)  I used the Life of the Party Paper Pad. I spruced it up with Petaloo’s Canterbury Collection Sunflower Leaf Branch and Sunflower Pick. My little 2×2 Owl is from QuicKutz as well as the Dragonfly Alphabet that I used for my title! I finished it off with tiny google eyes on the O’s and in between branches!

Well, that’s it! What do you think? I love the woodgrain in this paper! That’s not all! There are patterns that you can use for school, birthday, etc. in this pad! Both of these paper pads are darling! I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Wedding?  Shower? Birthday? Doesn’t matter, I always think of needing a card at the very last minute! I am notorious at my house of forgetting the cards! Are any of you the same way? Well, those of you who are card makers probably aren’t, but I am more of a scrapbooker than a card maker, so I don’t always have a card on hand for any occasion!

I decided that, for me, it is a good idea to have some pre-made cards on hand that I can add an embellishment or two in a hurry and go! Die Cuts With A View’s Box of Cards collection is a winner! They have a very nice assortment per box to choose from, add embellishments (or not) and have an original card to give in minutes!  I could add a specific title  or stamped label to spruce it up a bit more, but I am still done in no time at all!

For my examples I used cards from Latte, La Creme, Citrus and Street Lace! My embellishments were Petaloo Dazzlers, Petaloo Celebrations, Embellishments by Petaloo, and Metal Staples from Graphic 45!

So, there you have it! Quick and easy card embellishments in a snap!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

For all of you who are stampers, or who would like to be stampers, we would like to bring to your attention JustRite Stampers! I think you will be very  impressed with their products!I know that I am!

Now, I will admit that I have dabbled with stamps here and there, but never really knew what to do with them, so they have been a tiny bit intimidating! Since bringing on a couple of stamp companies, I am finding that I really want to do more with stamps! There are so many beautiful stamps out there!

For starters, JustRite are grooved on the back of the stamps which fit perfectly into the grooved surface of their coordinating stampers! This is great since you can mix and match borders, centers and fonts and they will match up perfectly to make your stamp unique to its purpose!

They offer wood stampers in different sizes, as well as clear stampers, which help you to see exactly where you want to place your image or sentiment. They also coordinate with some Spellbinder dies, Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Punches and even a few EK Success and Stampin’ Up punches!

They also offer a line of Cling Stamps and acrylic blocks that you can mix and match also!Mix and match with a variety of themes, verses, sentiments and alphabets!

I did a little playing last night with the JustRite Stamps to show you some examples.

For my chocolate kiss vase I used JB-09500 1 5/8″ Clear Stamper with the JB-09720 Romantic Sentiments Centers for the flower centers. For the main center I used my I-Top Tool and a large Brad-Daddy. The flowers are Petaloo- Love You  Flora Doodles. I placed the main flower on a back made from S5-027 Labels Twenty One, which I cut out on my Cuttlebug.

My card was as easy as can be! I stamped two images using the Cling Stamps CL-02075 You Inspire Me in two different shades of blue, punched the bottom with a scalloped punch, cut by hand the top image then used adhesive foam to stack them. The center was stamped and punched with  a circle punch. I used Martha Stewart border punches for the edges.

Of course I have to do a scrapbook page, so I started with paper from DCWV Nana’s Nursery 12 x 12 paper stack. The stamps are from JB-09265 The Greatest Joy Set. I used #4 die from Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large, then #4 die of Classic Scalloped Ovals Large and #4 Beaded Ovals die. The butterfly is from the new Fanciful Flight Set ( I love this set!) and Petaloo Love You Flora Doodles.

You’ve really got to give these stamps a try! They are great to use! Easy clean-up too! I’m sure that you will come up with some great projects!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

The Canterbury Collection from Petaloo is unique because it is designed for home decor, weddings and your upper end projects, when you need something that looks expensive, but is very affordable. With lots of sprays, branches and picks to choose from, there is something for everyone! Here is a peek:

They also have some really beautiful sprays for Christmas! You can see the entire Canterbury line on our website.

One of my favorite products from my friends at Petaloo is the Jeweled Candies! Jeweled Candies are acrylic flowers that are so easy to use! The acrylic makes them very bright and shiny, so they look great as an accent flower mixed in with softer flowers and also look great on their own. They adhere easily to paper or any surface with the Zip-Dry glue or use the Click and Stick foam squares from 3L Scrapbook Adhesives to make them pop out a bit. You can also use alcohol inks to change the color a bit, like adding yellow ink to a red Jeweled Candies for an orange flower – and just in time for Halloween and Thanksgiving!

Can you spot the Jeweled Candies in this gorgeous design by Lori Gentile Designs? She used the teal candies in the lower left and the upper right corner and mixed them with other Petaloo fabric flowers.

Have fun and look for our newsletter coming out tomorrow!

Happy Scrappin!

Here is what I do when I need to make a card really quick. I got my Citrus A2 Box of Cards from DCWV, however, any of their Box of cards will do. Then I grabbed my Petaloo Large Florette Dazzlers and found a florette to compliment the colors on the card, and stuck it in the corner like so:

I really love the Petaloo Large Florettes because the centers are separate from the petals, so you can have a different color center if you want. Please they are self adhesive, and sometimes I just don’t feel like glueing!

Then I pre-cut a bunch of Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Ovals in coordinating colors that are blank. I also have phrases like “Thanks”, “Baby”, “Happy Birthday” etc. already to go or I can use my stamps to stamp a phrase on the oval Nestie, and voila! Instant card! Fast, quick and easy!

Have a great weekend and look for our Nestabilities sale next week.
