This week for Demo, Bekah was the Demonstrator and she showed us *ALL SORTS* of fun ideas using the Mini-Envelopes!

We have a HUGE selection of these adorable little envelopes.. stop by to see us to check them out!!

Bekah revealed all kinds of ideas.. and I just HAVE to share them with you!!

Look at how easy these are!! Bekah loved the idea of making a *mini album* and expanded on that idea by also making a *mini accordion book* !!! HOW CUTE IS THAT!?!?

I love her use of the little fortune cookie stamp!!

She got really creative with this one... what a SWEET idea!!

This little house has a removable roof!
Great for hiding a little piece of candy!!

This idea is ADORABLE!! Bekah made a *mini- shaker card!* using a small die-cut from Memory Box, a little piece of acetate and some glitter and sequins!! I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!

Then, again using Mini-Envelopes, she also made this "Z-fold card" .. LOOK HOW CUTE!!

Now.. I just have to share with you MY FAVORITE IDEA from Demo this week!!!

This little gift-tag set!!!!!

We used the store's die-cut machine to cut out this folded envelope.. and filled it with goodies!!!

Check out how fun this is!!

Different sized envelopes for cards
Mini-envelope to hold gift-tags
A little arrow with extra twine
Another mini-envelope to hold small stamps
A place to hold a pen

And I just love that the entire thing folds up! This is *such a cute* gift idea!! I LOVE all the little bits and pieces!!

We have been having a busy couple weeks! I wanted to take a moment to share with you the cards from the last Tuesday with Wendy class!!

Check out how fun these cards are!

Wendy wanted to show some new techniques.. and she did not disappoint!!

The first card, and one of my favorites, was made using this new snowflake stamp from Hero Arts, Handdrawn Snowflakes. This stamp, which is a "cling" style of stamp, is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

To make the card:

Stamp the snowflake image onto dark blue, iridescent card stock (4" x 5 1/4") using aVersamark ink pad
Apply the embossing powder one color at a time... Start along the edge of the image, apply a little bit of Detail Gold embossing powder to the snowflakes (make sure you don't cover the entire image!), shake off the excess powder and put it back into the container. REPEAT these steps for the 2 other colors of embossing powder, Detail Silver and Detail White, until all the snowflakes have been coated.
After you have applied the embossing powders to the entire image, heat-set it.
Finish off the card with 2 ribbons.. a bit of thin dark blue ribbon and a bit of matte gold ribbon.
Mount the entire image onto the card base which is white card stock (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") folded in half

This card is SO STUNNING!!! An easy technique with BIG results!!

The next card was made using this ADORABLE stamp set from Stampendous, Snowman Trio

To make the card:

Stamp the snowmen images onto white card stock
Color the snowmen using markers or colored pencils

Use the Slider Dies "On the Right Track" from Taylored Expressions to cut-out the slider track. Wendy cut it out of a piece of dark blue snowflake paper (5 1/2" x 3" ) from Reminisce

Take 2 pennies and put a pop-dot on ONE of the pennies

Cut 4 strips of black chipboard (5 1/4" x 1/2"). Make 2 rows of the chipboard so 2 pieces are stuck together and use double-sided tape to adhere them to the UNDERSIDE of the dark blue snowflake paper.

Put a penny BEHIND the slider cut-out and put the penny with a pop-dot on TOP of the other penny. You should end up with 2 pennies with a pop-dot between them that slides across the card.
Mount the dark blue snowflake paper onto a piece of white paper (5 1/2" x 3 1/2")
The card base (11" x 4 1/4") is folded in half, and using the little snowflakes from the Snowman Trio stamp set, stamp the snowflakes along the edge using Majestic Blue Versafine ink.

Tape the dark blue/white paper down onto the front of the card, leaving a little bit of the light blue paper exposed so you can see the little snowflakes peeking out.
Now, cut out the snowmen. Using The Ultimate Glue, adhere one snowman to the penny on the front of the card.
Take the cut-out from the slider dies and put it on the INSIDE of your card. Take the other 2 snowmen and glue them onto the inside of your card as well, Wendy glued them on top of the slider die cut-out.

This card IS SO FUN to play with!! Watch as the little snowman rolls and tumbles across the card!!!

The last card was THE MOST FUN!!! This is a Shaker Card, which means there is a piece of acetate (clear plastic) on the front and little sequins and findings on the inside. Wendy used the Impression Obsession die-cut Peace Frame

To make the card:

Use dark green paper as the base of the card (11" x 4 1/4") and fold the card in half.
On the front of the card, Wendy cut out of piece of Alpine Trees paper by Aunthentique (4" x 4") and mounted it onto the front of the card onto the dark green paper.
Take a piece of Stardream Bronze paper (3 5/8" x 3 5/8") and a piece of acetate (3 5/8" x 3 5/8"). Use The Ultimate Glue to adhere the acetate to the back of the Bronze paper. (I usually wait about 10 minutes for it to fully dry)
Next, just like with the last card, cut strips of chipboard measuring 1/4" wide and cut the strips into 3 1/2" pieces and make 4 stacks of 2.
Glue the chipboard in place on all 4 sides like you see in the picture below... but BEFORE you glue it down onto the Alpine Trees paper, add in your shaker bits!!
Wendy used a combination of Hero Arts Sequins and new Metallic "Toppings" from Queen & Co... she just used a pinch of each.
Once you have added in the shaker pieces, carefully attach the shaker front to the Alpine Tree background paper using The Ultimate Glue.
Add a tiny bit of brown metallic ribbon (10" is good, you can always trim it down) and that's it!!

A beautiful and fun shaker card!!

Wendy designed another shaker card idea.. you'll have to stop by the store to see it in person!!

New, New, NEW!!!

Boxes of *NEW PRODUCTS* arrived this week and we are STILL trying to find space to put it all!!!

For those of you on the lookout for new Fall and Christmas.. You are in luck!!!

Stamps, die-cuts, embellishments and MORE!!

I have been LOVING the new sequins out from Hero Arts.. they are just perfect for adding a Snow Flourish on a card or great for SHAKER CARDS!!!

We also got in a new shipment of Stampotique stamps!! They not only sent a few Christmas images, like the angels you see below, but also some fun designs for Fall!!

With this Tree Line, you can easily turn it into a Winter card by stamping it on a white or blue background.. or a Fall or Halloween card by simply adding a line of pumpkins along the bottom!!

*So many possibilities*

We got SEVERAL new die-cuts and stamp sets from Penny Black this week as well...

Let's not forget our favorite part.. PAPER!!!

This is a fun 6 x 6 paper pad from Penny Black, Festive and Frosty!!

New paper is here from Lawn Fawn as well!!

Knit Picky has some fun prints that *ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE KNIT* How cute is that?!!?

The other grouping of papers from Lawn Fawn is this line, Chill

Personally, I just LOVE this color palette!! It would work great for cards for men as the pattern is more masculine and the colors aren't as vibrant as some of our other paper lines.

By far, my favorite release this week has been the Carta Bella paper, Hello Fall!!!

The Pumpkins!! The Racoons!! The Trees!!!

I LOVE IT ALL!!!!

Stop in to see us this week to take a look for yourself at all the fun NEW STUFF!!!

And be sure to walk around, we have a new display of Autumn Die-cuts that is SURE to catch your eye!!

See you soon!!
