Papercraft Haven and More

I recently signed up to be a Stampin' Up consultant, more for the discount than anything, however - I really REALLY love their products!  Stampin' Up was the first company that started their own paper line that matches their ink pads and markers!  I love that fact!  I have been shopping with Stampin' Up for THAT long!  If you need any supplies, you can go right to my shop, and get what you need - mailed right to you!  Make sure you get added to my mailing list, I am starting a feature for my customers soon - a wish list and emails to your favorite people for idea's for you on special days!     This month - we are going to work on cards!  I will share with you some of my favorite techniques...and challenge you to start to create your own cards!!!  Stampin' Up has some really fun sets that include everything you need to make your own cards, simply add your adhesive and for the most part, you are done !!!  I will have a class coming ...

I have been making cards for the past 25 years - and have learned a lot along the way!  Not only when it comes to creating beautiful cards, but also in saving money when it comes to purchasing supplies too!  I don't spend a lot of money on my crafting supplies now - because when I did have a lot of money - I spent A LOT OF IT, and didn't use my money as wisely as I could have!  A lot of supplies have been wasted - and the money spent along with it.  It is that in which I have learned along the way I wanted to talk about here! Trust me - you truly DON'T need each and every supply out there know to papercrafter's!  Have a use for it, and what makes a great buy - is one you can use with other theme's as well (such as a balloon stamp - can be used for a birthday, baby shower, anniversary).   Paper - 8.5 x 11 sheets of cardstock cut in half, adding a simple envelope, makes awesome card bases for just about any theme you need to send out!  Plus you...
