It's Coffee Cafe Stamp of the Month day!  I'm excited about this class and all the other classes going on at StampThat today!  We're going to be creating away here in New Freedom, PA! Check out this Coffee Cafe card we will be making. Continue reading

This summer seems to be flying by at warp speed.  Slow down, please!  It's hard to believe we'll be starting back to school in just 4 weeks.  Yikes!  I have so many things I want to get done before then. Does this sound like you're summer too?  It's hard to believe we'll be starting Christmas Card classes next month and getting the holiday catalog soon after that.  I have so many things I want to enjoy in the catalog that just came out before I delve into fall and Christmas! One of the new stamp sets I really like is the Graceful Garden stamp set.  We used this in the Fancy Folds class. Continue reading

The Coffee Cafe Stamp of the Month class is this week!  I've been having a great time with this stamp set, despite the fact that I do not drink it or eat anything coffee flavored. (Side note here.  We were at Shady Maple the other week.  I enjoy slushies so I went and mixed the red and brown slushies in a cup like I usually do for a cherry coke flavor.  Yum!  Well, no, not so yum.  Apparently instead of coke flavor, they had coffee flavored slushy.  Cherry Chocolate slushy - yuck!  I went for Dr. Pepper after that!) Back on topic . . . I'm looking forward to the Coffee Cafe class this Continue reading

Are you planning to host a party during this catalog time period or place an order qualifying for hostess benefits?  If so, I encourage you to check out the Tranquil Tulip stamp set in the back of the catalog, page 223 to be exact.  This is such a lovely stamp set but it is only available for purchase using hostess rewards.  It's easy to miss those hostess sets in the back of the book. Check out this beautiful card we made in the All Occasion Card class on Tuesday. Continue reading

You can't have the Colorful Season stamp set without making a fall card.  We kept if fairly simple for the fall card we made in the Stamp of the Month class. Continue reading

Yes, I said snowflakes make me smile.  It's July and I'm smiling about snowflakes. . .  Yep!  As long as I'm not having to go anywhere in the fresh snow, I'm happy about snowflakes, even if it is July. Okay, so why am I talking about snowflakes?  Well, because we were creating with them recently in the Colorful Season Stamp of the Month class!  Check out this lovely card we made! Continue reading

I've been having so much fun playing with new stamp sets from the catalog!  Just wait until you see the cards we are making in the Fancy Folds class.  You're going to like those!  Of course they're much better when you can experience the fun folds in person! Here is a pretty, simple card we made in the June Stamp of the Month class the other week. Continue reading

Some days life is so hectic and crazy.  I'm kind of liking the "just breathe" sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.  Sometimes that's just a very fitting message to send to a friend who has been through a lot. Check out this beautiful card we made in the Colorful Seasons Stamp of the Month class! Continue reading

I've taken a bit of a fancy to the You're Delightful hostess stamp set.  Sometimes it's nice to have a large sentiment that you can just add a little decoration to and be done.  The You're Delightful stamp set gives the big sentiment, but also gives a fun little "extra" sentiment that can be used either on the outside of the card or the inside. Here's the stamp set. Continue reading

We used the new Grown with Love stamp set in the All Occasion Card class last week.  This isn't a style of stamps that I would normally choose, but for some reason, it stuck out to me and I thought it would be fun to have.  I guess I was right, this was very well liked in card class! Continue reading

I wanted to use the Graceful Garden stamp set for our last All Occasion Card class, but I knew we would not have enough time to color the roses as beautifully as they deserve.  So, what is the best way to take care of that?  Heat embossing the rose of course! Continue reading

I am not a coffee drinker (or tea drinker for that matter), but I am still enjoying creating with the Coffee Cafe stamps, dies, and papers.  Maybe it's because I know this set will make others so happy.  Or maybe it's just because it's a cute set, regardless of my tastes. We pulled out some of the Coffee Cafe goodies for the All Occasion Cards class last night at the Mason Dixon Public Library in Stewartstown, PA.  Check out the card we made. Continue reading
