Christmas in September?

Have you started your Christmas cards yet?
There will be two more choices for you to do at the Stamp Along on Monday.
This is one of the new sets from the Holiday Catalog.
Do you have the new catalog? If you don't and want one, be sure to pick one up at the SA. 
This one uses heat embossing. It always seems to make the card a little more special. 



This one is also a Holiday Catalog set. 
It coordinates with the Stained Glass framlits that also go with the Painted Glass set. 
The little angel uses the same framlit as the butterfly from the other set. 
This one is a little labor intense but there is an easier version if you chose to do that. 


How do you store your reinkers? 
I used to keep them in small boxes, one for each color family. 
When so many of the color families changed and there were so many new colors to add I felt that it would be a good time to change the storage. 
I still have them by families but already have questioned my reasoning. I think that alphabetical would make it faster to find the one I need. 

I found a box that would hold all of them and made dividers from the cardboard backings in the DSP packages. Then I measured the spaces needed for each bottle and wrote the names in the spaces. 
I also wrote the name on the covers. Not an easy task! 
Before my order.


After my order. 
As you can see, I still need a few more. 

The price is right and it serves my purpose. 
I know that I will be happy that I took the time to do this project. 
What do you think? 

What did I do with all of the other ones? 
I am going to sell many of my ink pads and reindeers. 
The sponge ones - the new ones before the present new ones - are $4.
 The cloth ones are $2.
The old ones with the flip covers (smaller size similar to the size of Stazon) are $1.
I will pull them and bring them to the Stamp Along for you if you request them. 
I will be taking them to the sale in Green Bay on the 15th. 
You can also request, and I will bring stamp sets for you. They are 75% of the price they were in the catalog. I am not going to haul all of them but I will search if you send me the name of it. 
Let me know with a comment or send an email. 
I may bring the reinkers along, if I hear from some of you saying that you want them, as I am not going to search through them for specific colors. 
I really do like to give you the first choice of the things I am moving out. 

Don't forget to bring your code along to put on your order form to get your rebate.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

These rainy days are too dreary!
Yes, they are good for stamping but not for my energy level!
How about you?
Do the rainy days affect your energy?
This little bear is so cute for a note. There are a few more puzzle pieces on the inside. 


The Wild About You set makes a cute baby card. 
I seldom have baby cards, unless someone puts in a request for one, but the inspiration for this one "grabbed me" when I saw it on Pinterest. 


There are a few more of the wonderful Dandelion Wishes Cards Available for you to do. 





This Daisy card went to the Stamp Along last month but didn't get out on the tables. 
I had too many projects there and the room to display them ran out. 
It would be good for a Thank You card.


I may have too many packed again for this time.
I have one already packed for the October Stamp Along. 
If you have any requests,  please let me know. 
There are so many great sets to work with from the Annual catalog and now, I have several sets from the Holiday one with which to work also. 
I just got my swap cards back so I will bring those along for you to check out.

Happy September!

Fall is in the air!
I am hoping for a long Indian Summer! 
 I do have some Halloween cards for the Stamp Along this time though. 
Do you send Halloween cards? 
Many people don't. 


This one is one that I did several years ago and thought it was time to bring it back. 
It is a pop up card.
Since we don't have a stamp for a face right now, I used the new stars and moon punch to make her mouth. 
You can use this same pattern to make a snowman. 


I am also bringing the snowman back from last time. 
Some asked to have it brought back because they didn't get to make that one. 


Thinking ahead to Thanksgiving, This one is quick and easy but you could easily add to it by coloring the pheasants or even just the grasses in the background.
