Hello Little Sunshine
For my January Customer Appreciation card I wanted to highlight one of the Limited Availability Sale-a-Bration items. I absolutely love the Hello stamp set. It is so versatile and fun! I appreciate my customers so very much and my monthly appreciation card is the least I can do for them. I always include a PDF so they can easily recreate the card if they would like. The finished card is 3" x 5" (I must admit, I cut my card bases the same size as our Note Cards, which are 3-1/2" x 5", but I cut my layers incorrectly so I had to chop 1/2" off my card bases). Isn't it adorable!

Who Doesn't Love Minions???
Sorry for the late post! Okay, I have to be honest ... this is not a new card. I haven't been in my stamp room for a few days, just haven't had the time or the energy. I really need to take the rest of the week off and completely clean/reorganize my space! In fact, I won't be posting Friday so I can do just that and hopefully get in there and start papercrafting again! It is truly my passion and therapy. I can get lost for hours in the creative process. My former next door neighbor's daughter (man I miss them and wish they would move back!!!) is a total Minion freak. For her 3rd birthday I knew I wanted to do something special for her and her amazing mommy, so I offered to make her thank you cards for her Minion themed birthday. I wish I could remember where I got the inspiration for this card ... most likely Pinterest ... but I can't be positive. If you are the original creator of the card that inspired me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! It's one of my favorites!
I created this card with the Circle Card Thinlet as a base. The eye was created with the 2-1/2", 2", 1-3/4" and 1-1/2" Circle Punches. I used the Word Window Punch for the arms and 1/2" Circle Punch for the hands, as well as the 1" square for the pants. This was such a fun card to make!

6x6 One Sheet Wonder
I was messing around on Pinterest (don't you just LOVE Pinterest?) and came across this Pin for a 6x6 One Sheet Wonder and decided I HAD to give it a try. I'm always trying to find ways to get the most out of my Designer Series Paper. I absolutely HATE waste! And it's taken me years to actually train myself to cut into my beautiful paper. I must have over 40 packs of unopened retired DSP because I couldn't bear the thought of cutting into my beautiful paper and then never being able to get it again once it retired! I have had to re-train my brain to understand that there will always be NEW and EXCITING DSP in the next Idea Book & Catalog so I just have to bite the bullet and use what I buy! With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I decided to go with the Love Blossoms suite in the Occasions Catalog. I'm super happy with how these turned out. I hope you love them as much as I do and that you are inspired to cut into that luscious Designer Series Paper that you have been hoarding, I mean cherishing!

Number of Years
My nephew had a birthday earlier this month and he's at the age where money and gift cards are the only way to go. He's been saving for something special, so I decided to gift him a little cash to stash away. I love making gift card holders and money holders as this adds a personal touch to what I always think of as an "impersonal" gift. This was really fun to make using some new product from the Occasions Catalog. The best thing ... you can purchase the Number of Years stamp set along with the Large Numbers Framelits Dies in a bundle and save 15%! I created the matching envelope using the Envelope Punch Board. Isn't this fun!

Throwback Thursday
In an effort to use up some of my stash (yes, my name is Jamie and I am a Stampin' Up! hoarder) I am creating projects with retired product. I can't stand the thought of throwing anything away and I have LOTS of stuff to use up, from Designer Series Paper to ribbon to embellishments! And, I'm ashamed to admit, MANY stamp sets that have never seen ink. Today's project features the retired Summer Smooches DSP and the Best Day Ever stamp set from last year's Sale-a-Bration, as well as Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon. You can easily recreate this project using any current Designer Series Paper and stamp set! I created this gem with the Gift Bag Punch Board. Hope you like it.
