Online Catalog and Retired List

I posted the retired list in PDF format the other day. I know some of you don't have catalogs to cross reference that list to. So today I am posting a link to the online catalog (its a flash version, sorry mac users...go to my website to search each stamp set by name). This way if you are curious as to what the stamps look like, you can just flip to the page number and check it out. Yes, I know there is already an online version on the left sidebar, but sometimes we just need to be reminded its there. :)

Then once you find the stamps that you want, you can head over to my website and place an online order. Don't forget to check the clearance rack before you completely your order.

The retired accessories, tools, and other things list will come out on April 25th. Those items are first come first serve, so you will NEED to order early in order to get what you want. I will post that list when it comes online later in the month.

The clearance rack was recently updated, so if you are looking to grab some things the last year at dirt cheap prices...head to my website to check the clearance rack out. Clearance Rack items can only be placed on an online order via my website. I can't do that for you, but if you are having trouble please call me and I can walk you through it. It is really easy.

Happy Stamping!

Button Buddies Blossoms

The Button Buddies stamp set is so versatile. It of course is designed to embellish with buttons, but it looks great without them too! Since I scored some brights buttons for free durign Sale-a-bration, it was the perfect opportunity to use a cute one on this card.

The card is simple and classic...and thats what I love about it. I only used one button for all four flowers. See! You don't have to use a button on everything to make it look awesome.

I stamped the flower in fun, bright colors on a peice of cardstock and then popped that with dimensionals on the Whisper White card base. Even though they are the same color, it just seems to make it look more elegant. A peice of White Baker's Twine tops off my button and then I adhered the button with a glue dot.

All supplies can be purchased on my website for the best deal possible.
