What's New Wednesday


We've got some fun party stuff to share with you today!  Look at the fun chalkboard accessories we have in the store.  Mix them with burlap and leaves for a fun Fall look.  Or, add burlap with red or off-white, for a warm Holiday display.  You can't go wrong with these great chalkboard accessories.

Head over to  our Chalkboard Pinterest board for some great card making and party inspiration.  I also found this great printable from Shanty 2 Chic that I used for a banner in the store.  It's perfect with all the chalkboard accessories.  Don't forget to pick up a Chalk Writer pen while you're at the store!

Flip-its Holiday Card

Have you seen the Framelits Flip-it dies from Sizzix?  These are similar to the Movers and Shapers Flip-it Dies we've had in the past.  These wafer-thin, chemical-etched die sets feature the perfect registration without interference from any ridges at the edge of the die opening. This set includes the Flip-it card die, matching mats for the front of the card, and several circle dies that coordinate with the flip portion of the card.

We have several designs in stock.  Below is a card I made with the Circle Flip-its #2.  Additional items used on the card can be found at the end of this post.


Here's a card from Sizzix's website using the same die.


Here's an image showing all the pieces you get when you purchase this die.


Additional products used to create the Holiday card shown at the top of this post:  Paper (Pink Paislee's Snow Village Collection), bird die (Memory Box- Resting Birds Die), Sentiment Stamp (Taylored Expressions- Wings of Joy Stamp Set)
