Sesame Sweets





Aren't these Sesame Street Lollipops the cutest?? Debi made all the Sesame Street Characters to decorate these lollipop covers for Valentine's Day. I'm not normally a Big Bird fan but this version is so cute! Can you believe all of them were made just using punches?

Awesome job Debi!!

Just In...




Hi Everyone!

Just found out that the store just received the new Anya stamps! If you've been waiting for these babies, better head to the store soon. I'm pretty certain they will sell out fast! Shown here are:

The store also received a HUGE shipment last week including many new MS Punches, Paper Shaper Punches, Paper, Copics and other miscellaneous items. Don't forget that MS Punches are on coupon this week, so they will probably sell out quickly.
The Copic Blending Class is currently full, but more classes are planned for next month. There is still space available in the Valentine's Day card class and the Peek A Boo card class, so contact the store if you are interested in attending.

You've Got Mail...



Donna created this cute card with matching mailboxes, all filled with love!! The card was made using the Mi Casa stamp set by Hero Arts. The hearts were punched or cut with Spellbinder dies.

The mini mailboxes were made to hold 2 Hershey's Nugget candies- Yum! Just love how she coordinated the colors to match the card. Donna got the mailbox template from stampwithtami.com/blog

Here's a close up of the mailbox...

Isn't Lucy Bird a cutie? The great thing about this card, other than Lucy herself is that it was so easy to make. The fabulous colors and design (with sparkle already on the paper) lends itself to convenience for making a quick layered card. Isn't that tweet?

Corner Punch Fun!




Here's another Valentine's Day card to share. This card was made using the corner punch technique that was taught by Debi last year. This new Martha Stewart heart corner punch made a pretty Valentine accent for this card. The card was topped off with some Prima flowers and a ribbon. This card was quite simple to make, but the punch detail will turn heads.

As a reminder, Craft Night is scheduled for tomorrow, 2/5/10 starting at 5:00pm. If you plan on entering our Card Drawing, don't forget to bring your Valentine's Day themed card to the event. I will be doing a Zutter machine demo and will have lots of samples on hand to give you some ideas. Hope to see you there!

Life Is Sweeter

It's been awhile since I've made one of these boxes. Its using the Sizzix Box #2 die and adhereing them together to create a handle for the box. The cool thing is that you get yet another use for this basic box die. Now you have two compartments to put items in- perfect for holding small gifts like post it notes, Stickles, etc. You can find the tutorial on how to make this box at the Life is Sweet blog by Cheryl.
