No Time To Stamp?

I just felt like doing something different today — something spring-like and refreshing!  My inspiration came from this bottle: As with most weekends, I had kids home, which I LOVE!  As I was picking up on Monday morning, this bottle was on my counter.  I had never seen such a bottle before, but it immediately [...]

Welcome to another Saturday of Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style.  Today we are packaging our gifts up — ready to go!  I enjoy putting together a lot of small gifts for friends, neighbors, service workers, etc.  The gifts are never fancy or expensive, but just something to say *thanks*, *I appreciate you*  or *Merry Christmas*.  Taking a [...]

Welcome! Today we are working with recycling the tin can — whether you call it altering, decorating, recycling, repurposing or upscaling — it’s all about reusing some of those very versatile tin cans that are all around us.  Remember the pencil cups we made from tin cans in grade school?  Same idea — just a little more [...]

I purchased a gift that called for vintage inspired gift wrapping and my time spent wrapping this gift was a total delight.  I’ll show you both the gift that inspired the wrapping and the wrapped package in just a bit, but FIRST I’ll announce the winner from Saturday’s Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style Hop.  There were multiple winners [...]

My battle to make more space continues. SO much new product arrives at this time of year I am barely able to walk in my over-crowded work space.  So, what to do? Well, another sale sounds like a good idea to me!  Today I am offering all my stock of SQUARE JustRite product and FONT at [...]

Today I have a very easy to create party invitation and table favor to share with you, but first let’s announce the winner from our Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style  Hop of last Saturday. This is a regular Saturday Hop, each Saturday, so if you like ribbon and a chance at winning some ribbon goodies, remember to tune [...]

A simply made Mother’s Day card with a lavish presentation.  Take a look: The card is on the right and the box to present it in is on the left.   This is a standard A2 sized top fold card — my favorite orientation and style. Paper is 12 x 12 Annalee by Prima. Ribbon is [...]

As promised, I’m back with the cutting and scoring measurements for the tall slender boxes I so love.  Though I have made many of these boxes over the years, I do not intend in any way to take credit for their design.  I spotted these tall slender boxes in a book I picked up at [...]
