How Do I Do That?

Here is September's sweet stamp set:




PERK UP Pre-Cut Card Kit

PERK UP PRE-CUT CARD KIT



I am so excited for the launch of our upcoming idea books on September 1st, 2019!  So many exciting new things!  I wanted to kick off our new book by combining some of my old favorites with brand new goodies!  I love, love the fall and what I love even more than fall is coffee or coffee with friends!!  This adorable new coffee cup and sentiment stamp is called "Perk Up" and will be in our new idea book along with a brand new scrapbooking stamp called "Hawthorne" that has these GORGEOUS leaves in it!  I plan to do LOTS with this set!!  I am featuring this set of 6 cards using a card originally designed by Rachel Gonsalves, CTMH.  I just love how the leaves hide the flap where the card opens and the little bits of gold in the shimmer trim.  This set creates 6 cards and it is ALL done for you except assembly!!  All pieces come pre-cut, pre-stamped, and even the edges are inked for you!  A limited number of these cute little kits are already cut, stamped, packaged and ready to go out the door!  

Purchase a pre-cut, pre-stamped, pre-inked, kit here:  PRE-CUT KIT 24.00
The kit includes all of the contents shown below: pre-cut and pre-stamped cardstock and pattern paper, shimmer trim, glitter gems, Kraft  card bases and envelopes. It also includes SHIPPING to the US only.  All you have to do is assemble with the adhesives of your choice!

Let's take a look at the contents of the kit:


Let's take a look at the individual cards! It creates 2 cards with each of 3 sentiments:  Thanks a Latte, Perk Up, and I'm Cocoa For You!  The inside sentiments are divided into 3 "Happy Pumpkin and Spice Season" and 3 "Happy Sweater Weather". So stinkin' cute!  I did some second generation stamping on the sentiment on the inside portion of the card and isn't the little coffee ring stamp so cute?




Here are the inside sentiments!



It was a whole "latte" fun creating these!!

SEASIDE 9 Page Workshop

SEASIDE 9-Page Workshop

   (Consultant Guide Available!)


Explore, Take Me Away, Life is Grand, The  Perfect Day, The BEST Day!  I am so very excited to share my newest workshop SEASIDE! Seaside is a CTMH "Bring Back My Pack" special that lasts through to the end of this month (August 2019) while supplies last. It is that perfect nautical color combination of Smoothie, Lagoon, and Toffee.  I just LOVE it.  I combined the magical beauty of sea and floral in most of the layouts and had to add just that little snip of fun with the last layout and the Tiki Hut!  I spent days custom creating the Design Space file for this one and manipulating our existing, awesome CTMH Cricut images to create what I thought we needed:  the "Explore" title, Bottle, Ships Wheel, Porthole, Lighthouses/buoys/dinghy's, and of course the special Tiki Hut created with the tops of pineapples.  The magic is in the DS file this time as the basic layouts are a breeze to put together. I am in love the with Seaside Stamp set and it works perfectly with the theme. The addition of the lighthouse and ship stamping with the rustic sea fence is just the right touch of cutting and stamping.  Let's talk about how you can get this workshop. Follow those details, you will be able to take a  closer look at the layouts! I hope you have as much fun creating them as I did!
