Textured Embossing Folders

This is short fun video on the new thicker embossing folders.  Do you remember the Hexagon folder (or last Christmas the stocking folder)?  Same thing!

I have the leaves and the plank ones and I thought we'd try these out at class July 8 or July 16, I think you have to see and feel it.

We have 1 spot left for July 8 with the Colorful Seasons class with 4 cards, one for each season.  

July 16 is the "At Home" and we'll be playing with the new embossing paste and making a stepper card.  

Happy crafting!

Coffee Cafe - might be a favorite set!

You all know I love coffee, and in the "mud" style!

So.. a work in progress and more to come, but wanted to post some ideas I'm working on ... class is Sat July 29 2pm and we'll do cards and I have a gift card holder (or two) in mind as well... 

and you know I'll be adapting my coffee cups to this set .. 

the paper is so cute

The middle paper with the coffee pots reminds me of "camp coffee" .. maybe it's a Maine thing!

anyway... here's the stamp set and dies... I've just got started!!

and finally ... love love love the new embossing folders that are deeper and so interesting, I've used "plank" on this set, but now.. I'm thinking a dock and back to my Adirondack chair from Colorful seasons...stay tuned!

Can you tell it's summer... so many fun new toys to play with... Happy Crafting, MaryKate

I'll post more on this next week.

Lovely thank you notes, versatile sayings, and matching dies

Wood words and the cute crate with the wood paper. 

Love this card, made by my teammate Mindy Pelletier

Phew a long post... 

Also we made 4 projects and here's a tiny sample of the 17 made... I love that everyone chose their own patterns and colors.

First we used Crafting Forever, some use the pot of brushes, others the pen and there's one with stamps and scissors.  A simple notecard with matching ribbon.

Post it Note Easels with the Memories and More cards.

See the one with the Adirondack chair... it has an overlay and some glitter dots. 

So cute... and the one with the camera, the greeting is... you make me smile!

Tags in new in colors with the dies from Colorful Seasons

And the daisy cards... so pretty

Daisy bundle - back in stock - then not til late July!!

Hey Stampers GUESS WHAT?

The daisy punch is available right now while supplies last!!  

So many of you were sad to see it already on backorder, but Stampin Up just received some more stock. Yay :)  If you are interested in ordering this bundle I recommend you do so now or once supplies have sold out Stampin Up will receive another shipment late July.  

For those of you who have ordered this with me, your order is in!!! So hopefully they will arrive before our long weekend!

Paper Pumpkin June 2017 One in a Melon

One in a Melon is the name of this kit and it's really cute!!!  6 cards and 4 bags.  Lots of cute greetings in the stamp set and I love that we got 2 ink spots in Melon Mambo and Emerald Envy.  

And the bags can stand up or lie flat.  See the one in the front?  Anyway that one was mailed off today and I think it's a fun card/gift.  They included Melon Mambo twine but I liked the satin ribbon I had in my stash.

Click on the image above for the 2 min video you showing the cards and bags being made up. 

Super cute, quick to make, my kind of summer crafting!

Happy crafting, MaryKate
