It's all about Felt

Have you used felt to embellish your cards yet? One of the most dynamic ways to do it is using it with metal dies. The trick is you need to use good quality felt to get crisp cuts that won't fray. We received packs of felt from Taylored Expressions that contain 100% wool felt. You won't believe how well it cuts even detailed dies!

We have lots of colors available:

Want a chance to play with the felt? Laura's Memory Box Chistmas card class on Friday night uses felt embellishments on two of the cards:

Summer-set

We have another sample of this stamped image (by Stampendous) in the shop that is beautifully and meticulously colored.  (We'll have it on display).  But, this stamp also works, even if you don't have the time to do all of that coloring.  This "picnic at sunset" vibe was created using Gelatos.  I'm relaxed just looking at it (I'm also hungry - but then I'm always hungry).  Stop in Wednesday between 10 & 8 and enjoy a mini-vacation right here! 

3-D effects

Isn't this incredible?  There are no other words to describe how stunning (and did I mention easy?!?!) this simple card is, thanks to the "next level" embossing folders.  They create this "double-embossed" effect with just one trip through your die-cutting machine.  And, each 6x6 folder has a grid to make lining up your design a breeze!  But, be aware, if you have a REALLY OLD Cuttlebug, these folders will not fit.  Stop in Tuesday between 12 & 2 and make one of these cards in person.  The picture can't do it justice.

Saturday Demo

Want to come in out of the heat on Saturday?  Stop by the store anytime between 1:30-3:00pm for a free demo.  Laura will be using the new Memory Box dies to show you how to the corner edging dies as well as show you how to do partial die cutting.  Don't forget the promotion to win one of ten Memory Box Design Team prizes ends Sunday, so now is a great time to take a look at the new Memory Box and Poppystamps designs.

Ken Oliver

Do you love Ken Oliver products as much as we do? We restocked the Color Burst watercolor powders:

As well as the super-thin Stick It paper that allows you to adhere it to card stock and run through a die cutting machine to easily adhere detailed die cuts to your projects.

How about his new 6" x 6" watercolor inspired papers? There is a 6"x 6" pack

As well as individual 12" x 12" sheets of paper....stunning!
