It’s a Snow Day! My gang is all here and no one has to be anywhere today, so it will be a fun day. I am about to sneak off to my stamp room, but I thought I would share another card with you first.

I have a clean and simple card with a masculine touch for you today. This card uses the Puns From the Past set and the retired By Definition sets. As I said, simple!

Stampin’ Stuff

Stamps: Puns from the Past, Tiny Tags, By Definition (retired)
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Classic Inks
Paper: Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla card stock
Fun Stuff: Big Shot and Circle die, Jewelry Tag punch, Linen Thread, Button, Pop Dots

If at first glance this picture looks like I was trying to set up a neat background or an embellishment montage, guess again. This is a lovely creation that my 2 year old grand baby made for me.

The tiny little micro beads are a nice touch.

She just loves all of my stamping things and has figured out that if she sneaks in my office and closes the door behind her, she can get a lot more accomplished. She has left me several nice works of art.
I came home from Stamp Camp the other night and she told me that “Papa fix it”. There was a nice little lock installed on my stamp room door. Now she can only create when Nana is in there.

The new Occasions Mini Catalog goes live today! Go check out all of the wonderful new stamps, dies, papers, buttons, fabrics and more! I love, love, love the new Sew Suite collection. The stamp set is adorable, but all of the coordinating trims, buttons, rub-ons and vintage pattern items are just to die for!

There are really great sets for Spring and Valentines, but I had to have all of the new embellishments and accessories like the red glitter paper, the vintage keys and trinkets, the new trim and new colors in our silky seam binding. OK, I had to have new sets, too I also had to have the new petal cone die, so many possibilities! Go on, go see all the goodies! I have provided a link below, but as always it will remain in my sidebar as long as the catalog is live.

We released new digital downloads today as well. These are wonderful! Family Tree kits and Tasteful Trim embellishments! Take a look at the new downloads too!

The seventh gift of Christmas is this quick and easy tote full of all occasion cards. I made the tote festive for the holidays, but I wanted the cards to be all occasion. I chose colors from the holiday paper and used those colors on the cards.

The tote was very easy. It is an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of designer paper scored from each end at 4 1/2 and from each side at 1 3/8. Two snips on each side made little flaps that form the side of the tote. The tote handles are just strips of DSP that are attached with brads and card stock punched pieces using the round tab punch. I trimmed away part of punched piece. This makes the handle sturdier and really dresses up the tote. Paula Holsey sent each of her guests home from her recent workshop with a similar little bag and I designed this one from hers.

This project really went together quickly. The cards are clean and simple designs and were a snap to stamp. Everyone can use all occasion cards so this gift is as great to give as it is to receive!
