Birthday

belated birthdayThis little tiny lily of the valley was a big seller in both Rockford and Allentown…here I made it into a little border…so simple.  We have had multiple requests for belated birthday stamps so here is a new one:  along with an inside saying.  Those who know me, know that the inside font needs to match the outside font 🙂

belated great oneI’m still behind 😦 but getting caught up.  I hope to get to all the emails, odd orders, and requests today!  Then we are going to take Friday, Saturday, and Sunday OFF!  After working 25 days in a row we are in need of a little down time.  Karissa will blog Friday – she has some great cards with the fan flower.  See you on Monday!

On a side note…I sent all the special orders out from Allentown using stamps.com.  It is an online postage service.  If anyone gets a postage due on their end…please let me know.  My email address is beth@shopec.com.

Easter

easter blessingsKarissa’s little bunny with the carrots and radish has been selling like crazy!  It is really cute.  It was the top seller in Allentown so I thought I’d give more card ideas for it.  I really love the new skinny chevron border that can be stamped with the larger chevron border, no cleaning in between the stamping 🙂

Stamps Used:  JJ17 Skinny Chevron Border, HH31 Chevron Border, EE44 KB’s Bunny w/ radish, A190 Single Heart, C129 Easter Blessing to you and yours, DD63 Dots & Line Circle, DD36 Easter Fun Cube.

Punches Used:  1.25″ Circle, 1.5″ Scallop Circle, 1.75″ Circle, Purple Marvy Uchida 3.0″ Scallop Sq, 2.5″ Sq Pink Marvy Uchida Punch, Cut the green square 2.5″x2.5″, Pink Scallop border is actually from the Sizzix Triple Circle Die Set!  It will be back in stock in a couple of days for those waiting for it.

The Easter Fun Cube is the biggest of all the fun cubes.  All the rest fit in 1″ circles where as the Easter Fun Cube needs a 1.25″ Circle.

easter blessing insideKB’s EE44 Bunny is a mirror reverse stamp – for those who don’t know what that is…the carrots/radish are on one side on the bunny and an exact mirror on the other side of the stamp that puts the carrots/radish on the other side.

EE44well I’d better get to work.  More orders to get out 🙂

st-patsHappy St. Patrick’s Day!  and Happy Birthday to my nephew Blake!

We had an awesome time in Allentown, PA.  Those ladies there are always good to us!  We finally got home around 6:30 pm after 12.5 hours travel today and 5 hours yesterday.  Not too bad 🙂  We had thought to do nothing tomorrow but issues and orders await us!  It’s good to be home!

We will have a nice relaxing evening and then be relaxed and ready to go in the morning.  Hope you’ve enjoyed your day today and have either eaten or drunk something GREEN!

Baby Cards

baby tagWhew!  We have been pretty busy!  So busy I forgot to blog yesterday 😦

We got up early yesterday and finished making stamps and getting ready for Allentown, PA show.  Due to the snow storm that was predicted across the midwest area; we decided to leave late in the day on Wednesday.  We finally arrived at the hotel at midnight.  We still had 13-14 hours to go today – so up early and we have finally arrived in PA.  We can’t get in to set up until 10 am so no need to get up early in the morning. 🙂

Here’s a sweet little baby tag.  We are trying to get all the cards from our booth posted on the blog and this is part of that collection.  Hope your day was a good one and tomorrow looks like the weather will be awesome!

 

take time to smell the coffee

I love these little coffee cups stamped on patterned papers. To add another layer, stamp it on white paper and brown paper for the top and sleeve of the cup and cut out each section. I like to use scrap to try to utilize each piece. Stamps used: E263 Take time to smell the coffee!, G316 KB’s Cappuccino Cup Lg, A190 Tiny Solid Heart
