Sweet Peach Blossoms!

Here is a card from my May class using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set.  There is something about this stamp set that just makes me happy.  I can almost smell the sweet scent of these blossoms.  If you are my age (no, I am not telling!), you may remember Kiddles which were little dolls that came in plastic cases.  There was a series of them that were associated with various floral scents and I remember the little peach blossom one!  Do you?  Are you even old enough?  Lol!

I used the Basic Borders dies to get these layered flaps.  Here's a tip - you can cut two together to make sure they stay straight but three won't work.  Just cut the two and then remove one and use the already cut one to keep the third one straight as well.  Just start with the Basic White and Pear Pizzazz pieces a bit longer than you want so you can trim them after you have them cut.

These Little Guys Just Make Me Smile!

I returned to hosting classes in May and boy, did that feel good!  These little guys had to be a part of my designs and I have been having such fun working with them.   The Picture This dies are the perfect die set to feature these barn animals from the Peekaboo Farm stamp set.  As you may recall, I always finish the inside of my cards to coordinate with the front so here you can see how I finished the card.

Yep, I Haven't Posted in Two Whole Years but I am Back!

We have all gotten to a point in our lives that something had to give and for me, back in 2019, it was this blog.  I have continued my small stamping business but had to step away from the computer and blogging.  I am not a real Chatty Cathy so blogging is a challenge for me.  So I stepped back for awhile and then Covid hit and my business suffered tremendously.  I am finally ready to get back to stamping and teaching so I am going to begin blogging again.

Feedburner who was sending my blog posts to subscribers is going away as of July so I had to do a few things even if I wasn't blogging.  One of them is to get set up with a new service to send out the emails and I have decided to use Follow.it.  Email subscribers will see they have some new options that they never had before.  Let me know what you think about it. You can check it out further here:  https://follow.it/

So I hope you are looking forward to seeing posts from me in the future.  I am looking forward to getting back to it!  Here's my first for you.  Something a little different but I hope you like it.

You will find this little crate at the Dollar Tree for just $1.  I thought it would be a great adhesive and tool caddy.  However, everything kept falling over.  Solution:  Section off portions for the various items.

Here are the cut sizes for the sections that I created.  A couple of tips if you are making one - First, cut along the score lines so that the tabs will be glued to the largest sides.  Second, trim the tabs so they are half the width of the tab you will be gluing them to - that way they do not overlap.  Third, glue the tabs on the outside so the insides are smooth.

Now you can decorate the crate however you wish - paint it, cover it with Designer Series Paper, or leave it as is!
