Have you clicked on this relaxed stamp yet to see the stamp sets that are retiring?  All of the stamp sets on the retiring list are soon going to disappear out of the catalog!  If you haven't already, be sure to check and double check  the list to make sure you're not missing out on anything.  I will be selling some of my retiring stamp sets after the new catalog comes out, but to be quite honest with you, I haven't decided which ones yet and I probably won't until mid-July or so. If you look in the right column you will notice another picture of a plaque that says "Welcome".  If you click on Continue reading

One of the most commonly asked questions I get is, "what is the difference between craft ink and classic ink?"  I thought I'd take a post to try and answer that question.  Usually when I'm doing a class or party I don't launch into a long list, so I thought this would be a good spot to define it all. I think the easiest way to go about this will be to just list out all the facts I can think of about the two inks.  So, here goes . . . Classic (Dye) Ink Dries quickly - you should be able to stamp your image and run your hand over it within moments and not have smearing (at least that's true Continue reading

The Taffeta Ribbon share we did a couple weeks ago was very well accepted.  The taffeta ribbon is on it's way to me from Stampin' Up! and as soon as it arrives I will cut and get it out to you. In the process of doing the Taffeta share I had several ask if I would do this again with other kinds of ribbon.  Yes!  This is a great way for all of us to get smaller amounts of all the different colors available, and for an affordable price! I am now offering a share of the Narrow Grosgrain Ribbons.  You will receive 5 feet each of 19 colors!  All for the price you would pay to get just 2 colors Continue reading

I had a chance to sit down briefly with my new Circle Scissor Plus this morning and try it out.  Wow!  Very exciting!  I don't see myself using a coluzzle anymore!  I'm going to put some pictures on here so you can get an idea of what it can do.  Hopefully I will do a video presentation soon so you can see how it works.  I just have to find a time when my husband and I can video tape it without the kids running around yelling in the background! The Circle Scissor Plus makes circles anywhere from 1 to 6 inches in diameter.  When I say "anywhere between", I mean that, there aren't "tracks" on Continue reading
