Aug 27, 2013 | class, gift card, Washi Tape |
Two more Washi Tape projects today. First a pocket or maybe I should call it a pouch – made from two pieces of Vellum card stock and then close up three sides with the Washi Tape – I used the Gingham Garden washi tape.
I added a little tag using the Label Loves stamp set and matching Artisan Label punch.
Then the clip – just a regular wooden clothespin for the clip – covered with Washi Tape – the floral print happens to be the same width as the clothespin – perfect! To decorate it up a bit I added a Vintage Faceted button tied with some Linen Thread. Use the clip to hold the pouch shut.
And the pouch ( or pocket) is the perfect size for the mini note cards I showed yesterday.
These could be used for a his & hers gift – a gift card for her and one for him in each of the little mini notes and then put them both in the pouch and close it up with the clip (add a magnet to the back if you want to use it on the fridge later).
That makes 4 projects from the Washi Tape class – I never actually counted how many different things we made – I just know it was a lot. Be sure to keep coming back so you can see them all.

Aug 26, 2013 | Cards, gift card, Washi Tape |
I have lot’s of Washi Tape ideas to share with you – it doesn’t take long to make some cute cards. Today’s project are these adorable Mini Note Cards – which happen to be the perfect size for a gift card.
This first one uses the Gingham Garden and Season of Style Designer Washi Tape. Each pack comes with three different designs.
This one uses the Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape. And this one is turns out to be the perfect match to a Home Depot gift card!
It’s a little hard to tell just how big these are by looking at the photos and you may wonder how they are made. It’s really super quick an easy – start with one of the 5″ x 3-1/2″ Note cards and the matching envelope. These come together ready to use in packs of 20 – page 162 in the Stampin’ Up! catalog.
Cut the note card in half and the envelope in half! This gives you mini notecards and envelopes. To seal the side of the envelope use a piece of Washi tape!
That makes cards 1 & 2 from the Wild about Washi class I had earlier this month. This idea came from Stampin’ Up! – just a cute idea.
I’m trying to get out a reminder email for classes this week – having some technical issues this morning. Hopefully it will be resolved by the end of the day.

Aug 24, 2013 | Cards, In Colors, Washi Tape |
One of my favorite new stamp sets in the Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Tape It stamp set. It gives you the look of Washi Tape! And right now I’m really in love with Washi tape. I even had a class this month Wild about Washi and I had so much fun creating projects for the class I went a bit overboard. Everyone that attended go to make a bunch of cards/projects. I even had more ideas that didn’t get included in the class. I’ll be sharing the class projects this next week but today is one I made afterwards for one of my card clubs that met this week. It’s just hard to stop…
The colors for this card are Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana (and Whisper White). I love these colors!
I wasn’t sure how much I would use the new Smoky Slate which is a light gray color but I am using it a lot.
Here is what I used on this card:
- Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana (one of our new In-Colors), and Whisper White card stock
- Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana ink
- Tape It stamp set – it’s so easy to just stamp these tape pieces in any combination
- Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch – love the coordination of these too
- Mini Silver brads
- A Dozen Thoughts stamp set – this is a great set – in case you missed it in the catalog it is in the kid/baby section – I find myself using this one all the time – my new go to greeting set
My BOGO sale is over – it was fun for me and fun for everyone that came and shopped and then got to shop for new products too!

Jul 1, 2013 | class, Clearance Rack, Designer Series Paper, SU Updates, Washi Tape |
I thought I would post an update with the latest news and specials from Stampin’ Up!

New Possibilities for Clearance Items
You can now add clearance item to any order – including workshop, class and club orders. We still strongly recommend that customers order clearance items on online orders or workshop orders via a hostess code to guarantee availability. Because clearance items are only available while supplies last, it’s possible that the item will not be available when the order is actually submitted, making it necessary for me to contact you so that you can find an alternate item or risk possibly affecting the hostess benefits.
New Color Markers
In the 2013-2014 annual catalog, we offer the Stampin’ Write Marker New Color Kit (item 130034, page 163) to help you update your Many Marvelous Marker pack. Now, we’ve sweetened the deal. For a limited time, from June 26 until October 31, you can buy any of the new colors in the pack or on their own! Go ahead, fill in the missing pieces in your collection or buy the whole lot. Individual markers available in Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder.
Well – I think that is enough new information for one post. If you have a question about anything or would like to order just let me know.
May 27, 2013 | Cards, Masculine, Spring Catalog 2013, This & That, Washi Tape |
We are counting down the days – 8 more days left to order from the 2012-2013 Stampin’ Up! catalog – June 3rd is the final day. Remember that stamp sets will be available until the last day but the accessories and Stampin’ Around wheels are only available while supplies last. You can see the most current list by checking out my website online store and look under the category Retiring Products.
This card actually has some Spring Catalog and Sneak peek items – not really anything from the retired list. The Silver Designer Buttons and Feel Goods stamp set are from the Spring catalog. I thought this was a fun way to use the new Washi Tape from the This & That collection that will be coming in the new catalog. Just put strips across the card and then stamp directly on top of them – something fairly bold like the Feel Goods stamp set.
Don’t forget my special offer going on right now for anyone placing an order through my online store – it’s almost over. Read more about it HERE.
Thanks for visiting today!
