We've been waiting for a new catalog and it's finally arrived! Come by and pick one up this weekend! We are having a party!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
It's that time of year and I am always searching for the perfect teacher gift because I want it to be useful and personal. I LOVE when I see teachers using stamps on papers! It always makes me smile and I know that they will love receiving a personalized stamp. I've had so many teachers through the years at the school my kids attend that it's hard to find a teacher who doesn't have a personalized stamp yet! But this year I have 2 new teachers! Here are the different choices that we have designed.
Visit the site in the "Custom Stamp" section and place your order for the perfect teacher gift!
Paper flowers everywhere! We will be setting up the next store display this weekend and we are working hard making lots and lots of paper flowers! If you live in the Seattle area, be sure to stop by and see what we are up to! We will be switching out the displays and making new store samples for all of our wonderful displays, both in the window and inside!
See you this weekend!

Our Tukwila store number is 206.901.9101.
We have a few new clear sets but I think our trendy succulent set is one of my favorites! There's so much you do with all of the little components.
For the card below, I stamped the scene first on a separate piece of card stock using Fresh Ink basil and Versafine black onyx. Since I used Versafine, I was able to go back and add a touch of watercolor without the black ink smearing. I played with the New Prima watercolor pencils for the vase. They are easy to use and offer some great colors, I really like the Spring and Summer set. I used a circle die cut set for the frame, placed the stamped piece on the inside and used mounting tape to give the 3-dimensional look for the card.
For the succulent wreath, you can almost see my pencil mark for the behind-the-scene circle that I used so that my wreath would end up in the of a circle! I love the sentiment on this card! Thanks for checking in!

Whitney came up with this great card that shows a couple different ways to use foil.
Whitney applied the gold foil two different ways on this card. For the sketch blooms stamp (5511I) she embossed the image in white and then ran it through her laminator with the gold foil and when it comes out, you peel back the foil and it will stick to the embossed parts only. For the butterfly die, she used the stick-it adhesive and burnished it. I love the white and gold! It's such an elegant card. Thank you Whitney!
We are thrilled that Memory Box (aka Dave) did an exclusive die for our Impress sale.
The butterflies are not attached within the die which is perfect for die cutting them in a different color or using them individually for a different project! Our online sale is still going on until Sunday - you can pick up this die for 20% off until Saturday, April 25th! Happy Earth Day!
