Shake It Up

A handmade and hand-stamped card is such a treat to receive, right?  What about those extra special cards that are interactive.  Those are awesome.  Today we are showing off our favorite Shaker Cards.  Stampin' Up has made these super easy to make with layering framelits, windows sheets and special foam adhesive strips that can bend to the shape of the window.  Plus there are all sorts of things you can shake up; glitter, sequins, and punched paper.  Let's take a look at some of the great Shaker Cards our designers have shared with us.

Stamp Set Focus: RMHC Stamp Set: My Hero

One of the things that I have all ways enjoyed about Stampin'Up! is that they give back to others. One of the ways that they have done this for years is with the Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set. There is a new set every year and for each set that is purchased there is $3 given back. Our designers have some great cards to share with you today. I hope you enjoy them and if you haven't purchased your My Hero Stamp Set then we would love to have you do that.

Back to School

In some places, the school year is already under way.  I have another week of summer before my kids head back.  I always loved the start of the new school year.  New backpacks and school supplies, trying to figure out who will be in my class and getting excited about my new teachers.  Today our designers have some back to school cards to share with you for the teacher or perhaps for an extra special student!
