New Cuttlebug Embossing Folders & Yard Sale Answers

Hi Everyone,

Today's Copic and Cuttlebug Day was very busy and lots of people made some great cards.  In between the craziness, Lisa managed to check in a huge order of brand new Cuttlebug Embossing folders!  There is so much to love about them.  Lots of 5 x7  sized ones that cover the whole card. New bundles of folders.  Great stuff.  I'll have a photo of them tomorrow. 

Next Week our Wacky Wednesday stamp camp is all day long and we will be showing you how to use Flower Soft.

Next week, we will be receiving all 4 new Bo Bunny lines and the entire new Hero Arts Catalog of stamps.

Join Cindy Saturday May 29th as we make 6 floral cards inspired by stamp and scrap designer Jennifer McGuire. Many of you know that Tracy, Tina, and Flat Lisa recently went to a trade show in Boston.

Butterfly Cards with Paper Tote Box   Fee $23
 We will be making 4 cards along with an adorable paper tote. This class would be great to give as a gift or keep for yourself, and as always I will include directions on how to make the cards and the tote so that you can recreate them. Just a hint that this tote would be a wonderful way to give a card set as gifts for teachers, at holiday time, etc. Think of the possibilites you can do by changing up colors and background paper. And its really simple to make! And if I say that it must be true...remember, I am box-challenged.

We will be using gorgeous papers from My Mind's Eye's Lush line along with a variety a butterflies and stamps to make the cards. We will even be using a stamp or 2 from one of our brand new Companies, Clear and Simple Stamps. I must say that I just stamped one of their stamps for the first time yesterday and I love it! High quality photopolymer that stamps beautifully. I hope you can join me! Cindy
