More Organization – More Time for Crafting
There are a lot of bundles in the new 14-15 Annual Catalog. For the most part, you will save 15% when you buy a bundle.



















There are so many ideas, so many products. Where do you start? Here are a few suggestions.
Paper Pumpkin is a program like a book club, but there is no long-term commitment. Each month a kit, “a fully decked creativity carriage”comes to your house for $19.95. You will get a clear block with your first kit. You will also get everything you need except for scissors and adhesive to make cards, 3-D projects, and more. You can stop a kit from coming a month or two and you can stop any time. And now you can pre-pay with no obligation to continue at all!

What? Sour Cream? What is that about?
Perhaps you remember when some company packaged sour cream like this to be served with a baked potato.
Turns out this is a quick and cute way to package any little treat. They are especially quick and easy with the Designer Series Paper Stacks with 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ paper. Make a quick tag with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and you’re practically done! This little lady bug came from Bug Me which I believe is sold out. Too bad. But you could use the same idea with so many different stamps.

I love the soft background on this card! Old Olive is really lovely sponged lightly on the Whisper White card stock. The “fussy cutting” really adds to the look. If you have Stampin’ Dimensionals, use them to pop the flowers up for more pizzazz.

Getting Started Sample – Birthday 3
This card was quick and easy. I show how to use a 2-Way glue pen to make a mask, stamp and emboss, then sponge.
This card could be used for many different occasions.
Remember to allow the glue to dry fully before adhering to the card. I gave it 20 minutes, but it really wasn’t enough. You could also try painters’ tape or sticky notes for masking. You might want to test before using.
