Hello crafty friends. I hope you are happy and healthy on this cinco de mayo day. I am getting excited for the new catalog but I am trying to use up all my products that will soon be retired for good. As much as I like hoarding paper crafting related things, it does not seem a wise business move to keep product that could never be used in a demonstration. So, I have come up with a few projects to use up some of my papers. This is one of them.
This project is such an easy build and I was inspired by a swap I got from a fellow demonstrator when I went to the Stampin’ Up! event in Calgary last month.
Here are the links to what I have used on today’s project. Please click on the picture or wording to be taken to the online store. If you make a purchase after clicking on my link, I receive a small commission as your demonstrator with no extra cost to you. I truly appreciate your support when shopping with me. Please do not hesitate to ask me a question as I am here to help you.
Hello my friends. Today’s project is a cheat kind of so we will just call it a sneak peek. What I mean by that is that the products I am using today won’t be available till June 2 when the catalog goes live.
I usually don’t do these sneak peeks but it was a project I got from when I went to the Stampin’ Up! event in Calgary this last month. I thought I would save the project and share it with you. If you like this 3D project make sure to jot the name down for when you get your catalog. The name of it is WOOD CRATE FRAME LIT and it’s very cool.
That reminds me…have you signed up for your FREE CATALOG yet? If you have ordered with me in the last 3 month’s don’t worry about signing up as you are already on my list BUT if you haven’t chosen me as your demonstrator yet, and you are thinking about shopping with me…please click the picture or the link below to get on my list.
Obviously, if you already have a demonstrator please ask them for a copy as I do have to pay for these catalogs and the shipping to send them to you. I don’t mind sending a complimentary copy to my existing customers or potential customers because I know that in order to have a loyal customer base one must invest to get them…however, I am not made of money (quite the opposite) so please be mindful of that. I would very much like the opportunity to earn business the old fashioned way…hard work, great customer service and exclusive freebees, catalogs being one of those freebees.
That being said, there are some great advantages of being my customer. I offer CARD KITS to everyone that shops online with me and uses the current host code. This month’s host code is UHEWQK6B. For more information about card kits, please click the picture or HERE.
One of the other big advantages of becoming my customer is my rewards program. I have a whole page dedicated to this topic but what it boils down to is this: If you consistently shop with me at a certain point you will get a FREE STAMP SET of your choice. For more information about this program please click the picture or HERE.
I also wanted to mention to you that the retiring list has been out for a while now, and supplies are getting low on quite a few things. I would like to remind you that if you are wanting to get some products at discounted prices you may want to pop by the online store and check out the retiring section ALSO new items have been added to the clearance rack and those items are going quickly too. They have been discounted up to 60% off. Ready to shop?
Ok, I don’t have a supply list today as this project was a cheat as the products will not be available until the catalog goes live. So just sit back and think of the great projects you could create with this amazing new product. Thank you so much for your subscription, your business and your friendship. It really means a lot to me. Enjoy the show.
Hello and TGIF to you. I hope you are headed into a great weekend. For today’s project I would like to share with you a quick and cute box that is my go-to quick box to make. I have made larger boxes like this but this one is pretty small. The video explains it all so I won’t chatter too much here.

Place your paper in the Envelope Punch board and move the left corner up to the 1 1/2″ mark. Punch and score then scoot your paper to the left and line up at 2 3/8″. Punch and score there and then turn the paper counter clock wise and line up the score in your paper to the score guide and punch and score. Follow the procedure until the square is cut.
Patterned Paper Wrap sizing: 2 7/8″ by 5 1/8″ with approximate score lines at 1″, 1 5/8″, 3 3/8″ and 4″.
Hello. I hope you are having a good Easter Friday. If you are celebrating Easter I hope that you have a lovely weekend with your family. At the time I am writing this post my plans are yet undetermined.
Last week I mentioned that I was attending a Stampin’ Up! event and that I had made some treats for the girls that are apart of the team that I am on. So here is the project. I thought it was so cute. I tried really hard to use up most of my glimmer paper or else it would be all for naught and I would never cut into it. I think there are many of us that are like that. So by chopping into that stack of paper I was left with bits left over that will make for a lovely (but small) hoarding. 🙂
This project is made with the Envelope Punch board and I have to say that it is one of the most versatile products out there. If you do not have one yet please get yourself one. It’s not just for envelopes. In case you want to see what the Envelope Punch Board check out my YouTube Playlist. Of course only check that out after you see the project for today. 🙂

Hello, I hope you are all well and doing wonderful. Today I am driving to Calgary to attend a Stampin’ Up! event called Onstage. This is a gathering of demonstrators from across the western part of Canada to share in the crafty goodness that is Stampin’ Up! I get to meet new people, stamp a little, learn about the new products coming out in the new catalog and altogether have a good time. A usual thing that I do at this type of event is that I make little gifts for the girls that are on the team that I am on. I know no one from my team will see this till next week so I don’t mind sharing with you. The other gift I shall share with you next Friday after all the girls have gotten their gifts. So this little project is something that one can throw into their purse and use as a handy note pad. Doesn’t someone always ask “Do you have any paper on you?” Why, yes…yes I do we (paper crafters) should always say don’t you think? I do.
So anyway, I will try to post as many pictures as I can on my Facebook page. I get so involved that I sometimes forget to take a quick pic. There are somethings that I am not allowed to share and some things that I can. I may even post a shot or two of me having a milkshake at Peter’s Drive in or the fancy dinner my sister is planning to have with me. Oh, and don’t worry about the crafting kitties Molly & Quinn, they are being well looked after by the daughter who lives upstairs. I even pay her very well so she does an extra special job looking after the fuzz butts. Enough chatter, on with the show….

Hello again. Sadly, today is the last day of Saleabration. I am very sorry to announce that the biggest sale of the year has come to an end (or will be ending by midnight tonight). I hope you all got all the free things that you wanted and that you are crafting up a storm. I want to thank all of my customers for their support and for choosing me as their demonstrator. I think I have the best customers in the world.
It’s Friday which means it’s project day. This one is a very fun project and I have to say the person who thought this up was brilliant. No, it wasn’t me. I CASEd if from fellow demonstrator named Sandy McIvor and she was very clever to come up with this little dude. So, enough chatter and lets get on with the show!

How’s that for a catchy title? I thought this little box was so cute. I was give a little box like this for Christmas and it housed 2 toffee-chocolate squares inside. The box got mangled as I tried to open it for sizing and so did the chocolates inside (let’s be honest here, I’m not chubby because I eat salad). Any hoo….hope you like my little cute project.

Hello and welcome to another 3D tutorial. I have the pleasure to share with you today how to create a beautiful box to house your Scentsy Wax Melts in. These wax melts are inexpensive and yet are great as gifts. I have purchased the diffusers as gifts for people and when it comes to packaging up the wax melts I was struggling to make them look pretty. I have a solution to my problem. Check it out

Hello there. How are you all today. I hope you are starting off your weekend with something fun to do. If not, here’s a fun box to make to keep you entertained. 🙂 I’m a giver, what can I say? Lol. I hope you enjoy today’s project, as it is using my favorite patterned paper “Cupcakes & Carousels”. To my knowledge, I have never been on a carousel, my Mom may correct me if I am wrong, she comments on most of my blog posts and she’s my editor (I need something stronger than spell check, don’t you know?) Anyway, I just love the vintage feel of the design and of course the colours. So saffron is my favorite yellow and I really dig the peach too. Tell me what your favorite Stampin’ Up! colour is…I would like to know. On with the show…

I know, I know…the titles of my posts are ridiculous. I would hire someone to come up with amazing titles for everything but basically today I am making a box that houses a small tin of Nivia cold cream. I do have a funny story included in the video about my family so even if you aren’t a box maker you may want to tune in to hear the way my family worked when I was little. Don’t worry Mom, I haven’t spilled the beans about how weird we all were. 🙂 Anyway….hello there and welcome to another box making tutorial everyone. Woop, woop! It’s Friday and it’s a great day to get your craft on. Hope you like the video and of course the supply list is below the still picture and the video follows that, with the recipe underneath. Have yourself a great weekend folks and I will see you Monday. Oh, PS, I didn’t realize that this ribbon was retired so in the description I did leave an alternative for you to try if you like the colour. 🙂

Happy Friday to you all. I hope you are headed in to a great weekend. I am sure most of us are enjoying the Sale-a-bration items and have a wish list as long as our arms. I wanted to get most of my Valentine’s projects out of the way so I have one for you today. Such a cute little box. Enjoy the show.
TGIF!!! It’s Friday and I have a really awesome project to share with you today. I shall chat less and share more. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the show.
Happy Friday to you. I hope you are gearing up for Valentine’s Day. Here is a little project you can simply make for those little treats you’ll be giving to the one’s you love. Enjoy the show.
Hello and welcome. As usual, Fridays are a 3D project day! However, the first Friday of the year I create a storage container in which to store your lovely card creations. Along with today’s video I thought I would include the past year’s videos as well. It’s always fun going back to see what I was creating a year ago. This storage box was a gift to my sisters and Mom who, for Christmas received the cards I made on Wednesday. I hope you like the project.
Hello there. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I have a project to share with you today that could be used for any occasion (not just Christmas). When I designed this project I was in full Christmas mode but alas, my timing was off and Christmas has passed. However, there is a few more days till the New Years celebrations and I think that one could have a very elegant place setting for New Years using these little treat holders. Check it out.
2 more sleeps! I have just a quick project for you today as you are probably done all your crafting for the year but there is always a few more things to gather before the big day. Gift card holders are the thing. This is a unique twist on the traditional. I hope you enjoy it.
As there is only a few days until Christmas, I wanted to take a minute to wish you, and your families wonderful, happy memories this season. From my family (Quinn the Crafting Kitty & his sister Molly and me) to you and yours “Have a very Merry Christmas”.
Hello there. As we get closer to Christmas we are looking for quick ways to dress up our simple gifts and stocking stuffers and today’s project is just perfect for that. Check it out.
Hello and welcome my crafty friends. I hope this blog post finds you happy and healthy and in the whirl wind of the Christmas season. On Wednesday of this week I posted a simple craft project to show how a simple piece of tile can be turned into a very pretty coaster. Well, I made several sets of these coasters and I have to house them in a pretty box. I am giving them away to my co-workers and may have a few left overs for a few friends. Here is the photo, the supply list is beneath and of course there is a video. The recipe follows the video. Have a great weekend and I will see you again on Monday.

Hi there. Hope you are happy and healthy. Today is a project using the Envelope Punch Board. I really love this tool and find that I make more projects with it than envelopes. However, that corner rounder serves wonderfully for card making as well. Most versatile tool? I would have to agree. So, let’s celebrate this tool with a project…yay!
Using the envelope punch board line up left side to the 3 1/2″ mark, punch score and scoot your paper to the left and punch at 4 3/8″ punch score and turn the paper 90 degrees.
Follow the rest of the scored lines by lining up your score guide to the score line and punch score and scoot.
When finished the bigger triangles you will cut off about 1 1/2″ and round the two small ones.
Layering pieces: Matt 4 1/4″ by 1 5/8″. Glimmer piece is 1 1/2″ by 4 1/8″.
Hello, it’s Friday and all is well with the world. Mainly because of brave men and women who fought for our freedoms and our way of life. It is Remembrance Day here in Canada and I do thank these brave soldiers who basically allowed me to grow up the way I did. With deepest respect I send my gratitude and thoughts to them.
I also want to check in with you all, are you enjoying all these Christmas Projects and are you getting inspired by them? I hope you are settling in to do a little crafting with me today. I have a really cute project to share with you today so let’s get on with it shall we?
