Is it Spring Yet?

 I’m getting so tired of the rain and cloudy skies. I’m only hoping the saying “April showers bring May flowers” is true. I could really use some flowers. Aren’t I lucky that Sharon made floral cards?  Sharon’s Wednesday video was the assembly of the following cards. 

These are the dies that Sharon used. They come from Altenew, Picket Fence, Elizabeth Craft and a Sizzix embossing folder.






There was a lot of show and tell Saturday morning so we’re staring with Woodware’s gnomes.  Sharon will be using several of these in a class coming up soon. 





Creative Expressions has this lovely cross that can be used for Birthday, Confirmations, Christenings, Christmas, Easter, Sympathy and more.


A new paper company, Kathy Sue. Pretty Petals has delicate floral images and has coordinating mini tags, toppers, and more cut aparts.




There is also this cool butterfly die cuts that are already cut and easily pop out of their backing. Colored on both sides, bright colors on one side and more pastel colored on the back, over 300 butterflies!

Another delicate, detailed cover die from Spellbinders. Cut out of white and color on your own or cut out multiple colors and piece together your image. Check out the detail of this die.


Graphic 45 has two new collections. These are the 8x8 papers for 'Make a Splash' and 'P.S. I Love You'. We also have the coordinating patterned collection for 'P.S. I Love You'.



From Totally Tiffany the Kirstin Buddy Bag and the Sara Buddy Bag. These are great options for craft storage and/or using for travel with your supplies.



A group of dies from various companies. You'll find them along the display to the left of the register at the store.





From Gemini, a collection of mini dies first words then small images. These first four are about 3x3 inches.








Every scrapbooker and card maker needs a good corner rounder, This one has three different sizes in one!

Last up in the new Pink & Main Minc laminator to be used with foils. NOTE: this is different from a Glimmer machine AND the foils you use are different. This is a laminator that uses the Pink & Main foils along with the Deco Foil foils and the toner sheets from both companies. 








Sharon did a sample using the birthday toner sheet above and the rainbow foil. Also, you can use your negative piece of foil as a background or if there is enough foil left again for smaller images.

It's hard to see but this came out great using the jewel toned foil. Sharon will have more samples and a demo on Wednesday.

That's it for me for the week. For my funny, I'm so a used pencil...


I'll be back after Wednesday's video with more fun finds. Until then stay crafty and above all Stay Safe!
