Why use something exactly the way it is meant to be used? That's what creativity is all about.
The Eggcellent Eggs Kit in the Occasions Mini catalogue is designed for decorating eggs. However, as you can see, you can use all the little flowers and other elements to make really cute notecards. These were made by club members recently.
Being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I get to be creative every day and be paid for it. But more than that, I get to help others enjoy their creative side too. Nothing brings me more joy than to have someone exclaim "Wow, I made this..."
Does that sound like something you would enjoy as well? I would love to chat with you about this. Give me a call (250 - 962 1674) or Email me.

This is a very simple card to make but how striking!
I used the Very Vintage wheel on Melon Mambo for the bottom panel. The greeting is from Well Scripted stamp set. Very easy to position with the clear blocks!
The black satin ribbon adds a touch of elegance.
Paper Flower Tutorial:
- Take a jumbo brad and stain it with black Staz-on ink. Let dry.
- Roll the Very Vintage Wheel with Melon Mambo ink over tissue paper. The piece I used was about 8"x6".
- Fold tissue paper so you have about 6 layers at least 2.5"x2.5". Sandwich the tissue paper between 2 layers of computer paper. Punch the stack with the Fancy Flower punch. The computer paper keeps the edges of the tissue paper nice and crisp while going through the punch.
- Crumple the tissue paper then un-crumple. Re-stack so the flower petals are offset from each other. Punch a hole in the middle of the flower. Add the brad. Fluff up the flower. Add it to your project.
Any questions, give me a shout.

Tools, tools and more tools... We enjoy our card making and scrapbooking tools... the men in our lives enjoy building tools...
We have no choice in our family: my grandmother collected gadgets, I tend to collect craft making tools, and my son is collecting many building tools. Hey, you need just the right tool for the job, right? {smile}
Christine made this masculine card using the Totally Tool stamp set from Stampin' Up! She participated in the Stampers' Club for the last six months and we did a swap on the last day.
Want to join the club too? Great projects for free each month, fun with friends, a chance to build up your supply (more tools?) over time. Email me to learn more.

This card is SO easy! I got the idea from Dawn Griffith and we made some at club this month. Need a Thank You note in a jiffy? This is it!
To make the edge:
- punch a border on a scrap piece of card stock. I used the Scallop Trim Border punch (which you can get for FREE right now, ask me how).
- Place the scrap with the border just slightly off the edge of your card.
- Using a sponge dauber, add ink to the card. The punched border will leave a very pretty design.
The main image and sentiment are from "With All My Heart" stamp set.

I found that making a card was a great way to rejuvenate... It was amazing how energized I felt after spending time in my craft room.
The Simply Said stamp set used in this card is SO versatile! Hearts, flowers, a couple sayings... Add some colouring, the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder, a piece from the Hodge Podge Hardware and you have an easy but nice card.
Oh, and must not forget the scallop trim border... you can get this new punch for FREE during Sale-a-bration... Ask me how.

"To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments... in this we make a difference!" Statement of the Heart from Stampin' Up!
Making a difference in others' lives... a very worthwhile focus. Rick Hansen has inspired a generation of Canadians with his "Man in Motion" world tour. Now, during the Olympics, he is telling the stories of people who have encouraged our athletes, those who have made a difference in the athletes' lives: the Difference Makers. Watch the videos telling the stories here (the links are on the bottom right hand corner of the page).

What kind of a tool is that? Pretty scary looking if you ask me!
The crop-a-dile is quite a multipurpose tool. With it you can:
And it does all this silently. No more waking up the family when setting eyelets late into the night...
Here are its two companion products:

I followed Michelle Zindorf's instructions to make this card - mostly. She has a lot of talent for putting to paper what you see around you. I am now finding myself looking at sunsets in a bit of a different manner... so what colours are really at play here? How would that translate onto paper?
Quite a number of stamping techniques are used on this project. Would you like to have hands-on instruction and you live in the Prince George area?
Then come to class on Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 pm. I will guide you step by step so you too can leave with a beautiful card.

What's with this card you say? Nothing too significant with this one... no fancy technique or stamping... so why are you posting it on your blog?
Well, this is the card that my husband made for me at Valentines. And it is beautiful because he made it for me. He took the time to sneak behind my back into my craft room and find what he wanted to make me a card.
Sometimes we (I) think that our cards have to be super, top, fancy... and then we don't want to give them away because they are too pretty. This card reminds that the heart behind the project is the most important. I felt totally loved and special when I received it.
So what about you? Do you want to make only super fancy cards and then tend not to give them away because they are too pretty? Or do you send cards, even if they are not super duper fancy technique because you know the recipient needs to feel special and loved? Leave a comment and let me know.
