Which means..... Kathy JH is the winner!!  Kathy, if you will send me an email with your mailing address, I'll get the package right off to you.  I hope you enjoy them!

In a previous post, I gave you instructions for one of the cards made with one of my new Clear Polymer Stamp Sets.  It was made using the #POL3 Boutique Window Set.  In this post, I'm going to include a quick and easy freebie project.  I wanted to give you a  sample of some of my templates and Jumbo U-Cuts.  Here's the picture of the project:

If you would like to download a printable pdf to complete this project click HERE or on the photo at left.  I left it in a slightly higher resolution for printing, so it may take a few minutes to download.  It's 2 pages, and the instructions are on the second page.  Print it on 8 1/2" x 11" white card stock (use a bright white for best results).  If you are unable to find Bright White Card Stock, it can be ordered by calling our toll free number 1-800-945-3980.  (It is Item #PC55).

Also, if you like this little project, you may also enjoy our Jumbo U-Cuts.  The Jumbo U-Cuts are quick and easy gift projects and are a great way of packaging a little homemade treat for someone special.  With the holidays approaching (sheesh, is it really almost SEPTEMBER?!?), these projects are a super simple way to whip up a bunch of unique, personalized gifts in a hurry.  If you're interested in seeing more of these projects, you can download a 5 page flyer showing an assortment of the Jumbo U-Cuts by clicking HERE, or on the photo below.
 
If you are interested in ordering any of the Jumbo U-Cuts, just jot down the item number and call our toll-free number 1-800-945-3980.  (We're still working on that new website....!)

OK, I hope you enjoy the project.  If you checked the blog earlier and it didn't work, I apologize for that...I was fine-tuning some settings and clicked password protect by accident.  Yikes, I better stay outta the control panel.. :)

I'll be posting again in a couple of days and will let you know then what the next giveaway is going to be...and I'm also thinking it's time for a Blackberry Cobbler before those berries are completely gone.  We've had some cool nights and the trees are already starting to turn colors a little, a tad early for this part of the country.

See you soon!

Three Words... Birthday. Shoe. Shopping.

Hi Friends,

Wanted to share some more new fun stuff before the weekend. There's still time to place a comment on the previous post, in order to be entered into the drawing for the FREE STAMP SET.   I'll randomly draw a name on Monday, so be sure to place a comment before Midnight Pacific Time, Sunday August 16, to be eligible for the FREE stamp set.  Thanks so much to those of you who commented, I appreciate the feedback!

I shared some of my new Winter images with you in previous posts.  In this post I'll show you some of the projects made with my new Boutique Window Clear Polymer Stamp Set, Item #POL13.  Here's what the stamp set looks like:

 

Here's a quick and easy little card you can make using the stamp set:

  

I'll attach instructions if you want to make this card.  Click on the small image below if you'd like to download a printable pdf version of the card instructions, or click HERE.  Don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open pdf's with? Click on this link to download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free.

Here's a few more photos of projects:

This little Heart Purse Gift Box was made using my Heart Purse Pattern, Item #PTX12 - $1.99.  The papers used on this project are new additions to my paper line:  SPAC1353 Malta and SPAC1380 Antique Red Flower.  The swatches below are the papers used on these projects:

The papers in our line are all available in the following sizes:

8 1/2" x 11 printed on text weight paper - These item numbers all begin with PA. $.47 per sheet.

8 1/2" x 11" printed on 80 lb. card stock - These item numbers all begin with PAC.   $.89 per sheet.

12" x 12" printed on text weight paper - These item numbers all begin with PTW.  $.85 per sheet.

12" x 18" printed on 80 lb. card stock - These item numbers all begin with SPAC.  $1.39 per sheet

So, basically, any of our papers can be ordered in any of those four sizes.  Pretty versatile, huh?

 

Here's another card made with this set:

Tonya did a great job on these samples, didn't she?  I like all the stitching accents.  I've been stitching up baby quilts and bibs around here and the sewing machine has been out for awhile.  My new little grandson is due to arrive soon, so we're anxiously awaiting his arrival...Grandson # FOUR!!  Can you believe that?  (OK, doesn't anyone have any girl genes in this family?!?  Four sons, four grandsons... no I'm not complaining, lol, they're so much fun!)

I'm a lucky mama, aren't these guys cute?  I love this picture!!

OK, a couple more card photos:

And one last gift bag photo:

  This one was made using my Purse/Basket Pattern, Item #BSX01 - $3.99.  This template is one of our most popular patterns, it contains patterns for three different little baskets like the one shown above, and three different purses..... $3.99, seriously?!?  If you're interested in ordering any of the items shown here, they can be ordered by calling our toll free number 1-800-945-3980.

OK, I'm off to the kitchen...going to make a Strawberry Pie, yum!  I'll take some photos and share the recipe with you over the weekend.  Hope you have an amazing weekend!
