Hey everyone, I hope you had a good week. It’s halfway through the first month of the year and I am just getting these put together. Whoops, just a bit slow.

Hello friends. Every year I do like to give you a project that can house all the cards that you may make during the year. The first year I did a simple open top card holder, and last year I did a perpetual birthday card holder with a lid and a birthday booklet, and this year is a super strong, super big card box with double walls and an insert that will hold at least 20 cards plus envelopes. The video is long so I totally apologize. It’s not me chatting so much as there is many components to put together. I hope you stay tuned if you are interested. 🙂 Check it out!
The particulars are as follows.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. I have worked really hard over the last month with the Christmas Crush and the Card holder series. I am actually sad to get back to normal broadcasting next week. In doing all this work I have met some wonderful people, gotten Christmas cards from all over the globe and have had a lot of fun chatting and reaching out to you personally. I feel very grateful to be apart of the paper crafting community and feel very lucky to be working with Stampin’ Up! for this wonderful opportunity. Yay, Stampin`Up!
If you are Canadian and in some way I have inspired you, then I would love the opportunity to earn your business by becoming your demonstrator (or if you too would like to become a demonstrator I would love to help you along with that goal too). You can email me if you have questions, or you can shop online right now by clicking any of the supply links below you will get to my online store. You don’t have to live near me.

Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying this series. I like having all the ways to dress up a gift card in one easy playlist to find. I choose to do 2 every day because there are so many ways to dress up a gift card and even though I did not design these I did some fun things with the decorating. To be fair I do not know who exactly designed them because when I did do a search on the internet I found hundreds of tutorials and I couldn’t be accurate with who came up with what first…Anyway, check out the video and of course the details are below the pictures.

So it`s true, I`m not all about cards…it`s Friday and Friday gets a 3D project. Today is something that could be very useful as a gift wrapping…especially if you are heading to a friends house for dinner. I always try to bring a bottle of wine…and this year I have figured out how to wrap the bottle. I don`t know if you remember last year I tried to make a bottle wrap and came up with a triangle box instead. It did not fit the bottle. I was on the right track but now I really have figured it out, with the help of a mathematician I may add. Check it out.

Hi there. So our Canadian Thanksgiving was 5 days ago and I had thought that this video would come out a little more timely for my Canadian Crafters. I am sorry I didn’t get it to you in time, I have been working very hard on my Christmas Card Series being launched Nov 2. So, things got a little out of hand with my regular posts. I don’t even have the time to reply to emails at the moment…I am sorry to everyone who has been trying to get hold of me…I am not ignoring you. I am just under the crunch right now. So, thanks giving is gone, but my crafty pals from the States would find it timely. For all my fellow Canadians…this project can be adapted for birthday or any type of celebration. Check out the video to see what I mean.

If you have been following me for a while, or if you are new here, you have probably heard me say that I have to craft on a budget. It’s very true. As much as I want to purchase all the things in the catalog it’s not in the budget, so I make do and usually come up with fantastic alternatives to my projects. Today’s post is a very good example of that. There is a big shot die on page 41 of the Holiday Catalog that is called the Square Pillow Box thinlit die. As much as I wanted it, I knew I could make something similar on my own without the fancy thing. However, if I was to make a lot of these, I probably would have figured out a way to work the budget and bought it. I may make another size for Christmas gift cards, so stay tuned! Check out the picture, the video and of course the supply list!
