Valentine's Day Ideas and MORE!!

1/24/2017

 
This weekend, we decided to get creative and put together some quick, adorable little ideas for your Valentine's Day activities!!
Picture
Whether you need to make a a bunch of cards for an entire classroom, make a sweet gift for your Galentine or Valentine, or give a little piece of candy to a coworker... WE GOT YOU COVERED! ✔

First off... who doesn't love cute puns?? This one I created using Toast for Two by Poppy and the saying "Let's Toast" from the Lawn Fawn set, Love You S'more.
I used the little matchbox die-cut from our Accu-cut machine (come by the store, we'll show you how to make one, it only takes a matter of seconds!). JUST LOOK HOW CUTE!!! Include a tiny piece of candy and "Ta-Da!" Tiny, adorable gift!

The next idea also uses the little matchbox die-cut... I used 2 stamps, the little girl is from Rosie's Roadshow and the Love Ya! Comes from Impression Obsession. I just loved the idea of using adhesive-backed tape from May Arts to accent the matchbox and make it *fancy* .. and the little Love Ya! Could easily wrap around a piece of chocolate
One of the other boxes we have in our die cute is this cake box and HOW PERFECT that we have this stamp that says "I love you more than chocolate cake" by Impression Obsession!!?? So, of course, I cut out the bottom in a Stardream metallic Bronze and the top out of Stardream metallic Opal!! And I just couldn't help myself.. I cut out a round 3/4" circle from red paper, laquered it, added a "stem" with twine and created THE CHERRY ON TOP!!! Oh, I just LOVE IT!! 
Check out this EASY idea.. a simple note can be accented with just a sweet stamp on the envelope!! The best part.. sweet stamps like this can be used for notes *year around* .. and this fox stamp is gorgeous!!! Circle Foxie is also by Impression Obsession.

More boxes from our die-cut.. including this ---> mini chinese take-out container <--- !!!!
I just loved these simple heart die-cuts from Memory Box! It made this box really look fun :-) The die-cuts I used are Scribble Love Heart and the Peyton Heart by Poppy and Memory Box.
This stamp set is HILARIOUS! And it makes for a great slider card!! This stamp set is Turn Me On by Lawn Fawn
 Our die-cut also has the template for this super tiny envelope!!! So if you just want to make a tiny note for a few friends, it's easy to do!! I used 2 stamps from Impression Obsession, Love Mail and All of Me

I also just love this little box.. especially with this die-cut With Love by Dee's Distinctively Dies
Come in to visit us to see all these ideas in person, and all the new Valentine's Day stuff that just arrived!! It's been a lot of fun around here the last few days!

Dreamcatchers...

1/20/2017

 

"The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the Dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually.... mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The Dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.. "
​

Last weekend, we offered a really wonderful class... and I can't stop thinking about it!! 

Bekah, who works here at the store, offered a class in making Dreamcatchers. The class discussed not only what a Dreamcatcher was, but what it entails and how to create one using materials that inspire the soul.. 
I found a basic definition for a Dreamcatcher.. but a definition doesn't do justice to the works of art the gals created which were nothing less than spectacular... 
Each person in the class made a different Dreamcatcher depending on their personality... some were big, some were small, each a different color and each with different findings that the person felt inspired by.
Picture
I was only able to get a few photos... but I just love how these creative ladies took this concept and made such wonderful Dreamcatchers they can now hang in their room to inspire happy thoughts, creativity, and peacefulness in their minds <3

Thank you, Bekah, for teaching such a wonderful class! The students seemed to really have a great time!

Tuesday with Wendy, Jan 17th

1/18/2017

 
This was the very first Tuesday with Wendy class of the New Year!! 
So many familiar faces.. it's always wonderful to see everyone! 

The cards this week were inspired by new stamps from Stampendous, Impression Obsession, and Penny Black.. They are all great cards, which could be used for a variety of occasions! But all three also work perfectly for Valentine's Day <3 

Just look at how *AMAZING* these cards are!!! 
Picture
The first card features an artist you may be familiar with, Laurel Burch. Her art has been popular for many years and has been seen in a variety of ways including clothing, purses, and now stamps! The stamp is called Feline Friend and is made by Stampendous.

This card was simply made by stamping the image with Versamark ink and embossing it in gold embossing powder ---> when you color the image, it creates the most amazing effect that makes it look like a REAL Laurel Burch piece of art. The image has been accented with a piece of handmade paper made by Shizen, and the card is finished off with a stamp from Impression Obsession, It's so much more friendly with two...Visit us here at the store to see this card in person, it is BEAUTIFUL. 
Picture
The second card... it is just too cute for words. Of course, it's hard to show you on a computer screen.. but this card WOBBLES!!! Better than that, it uses brand new ---> mini wobbles <---- !!!! They are so perfect for making those tiny images just come to life. How fun!! 

This card was made by first stamping the I Love You Background by Impression Obsession with Versamark ink and embossing it with gold embossing powder. Then, Wendy cut out a piece of the image using the nesting Sunray Venus set from Tonic. She stamped the image Heart Line by Impression Obsession on the inside of the card. 

From the new Penny Black set, Hearts Aplenty, Wendy cut out the little owls sitting on the branch. THIS WAS WHAT SHE MINI-WOBBLED!!!! It is sooooo cute when you see it in person.. I just LOVE it!! 
Picture
The last card uses the piece that Wendy cut out of the last card. This time, she made a collage-style card where she layered the cut-out piece with two images from the Penny Black set she used earlier. The set features five different images.. we love all the little critters this set has!! Especially this cute little mouse... 
We colored the images using prismacolor pencils. Wendy even hid another little animal on the inside!! (you'll have to come in to see us to see what it is!!) 
Picture
Thanks again to everyone who came to class this week!!

The next Tuesday with Wendy class is offered Tuesday January 31st at 11am, 1:30pm OR 6pm... Call us at the store 360-647-9663 for more information and to sign up!
