Country Flowers and the Tearing Technique
There are some beautiful stampset and dies heading our way in the new May-April 2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. As a demo, I get to order in advance and I love this perk. The other perk of being a demo is the amazing community of women (and men) that surround us. When my kids were little, my world revolved around them...just keeping them alive was a full time job, but I had a full time job too! This didn't allow a lot of time to garner friendships or even sustain the friendships I had in my younger years. When the kids left the house, I felt a void. Don't get me wrong, the husband and dogs were great, but I needed more. The Stampin' Up! community has been such a blessing to my life. It really is about more than inks and stamps. Many of these ladies have become my best friends. Why am I telling you this sappy story? Stampin' Up! has a special "join" offer starting on May 1st and I am extending the invitation to join our community - not just for the discounts, but for the friendships. **See more info about the special offer at the bottom.
Okay, but for now, let's put the tissues away and get on with this card!

I can't believe that my last post was in October!!! It has been a very busy last quarter of the year with craft fairs, Christmas special orders and, well, life!!! I shared how to make magnetic bookmarks in my in-person Sip and Stamp in October and they loved them! So I made some other designs and added them to my craft fair stash. They make a great gift for kids, adults, teachers, book clubs, church groups - really, anyone who can read. But, the best part is that my cousin decided to raise money for a local animal rescue this Christmas, Animals Matter of Clearfield County. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I get to preorder from the upcoming catalog (Jan-April 2024) and had already ordered the Doggone Friendly stamp (photo below). To help raise funds, I sold the dog bookmarks for $3 each (42 of them so far) and gave all the money to the organization. Why am I telling you this?? Because you can do this for your local organizations too! Let me show you how!

| Bee My Valentine stampset |
Items Used/Dimensions:
Here are some other bookmarks made using the same process.
 |
| The All About Autumn paper is sold out, but many didn't know what to do with the "library" images. If you don't have any, reach out on the Facebook groups for some leftover pieces! The book stamp is from Make It Happen and the sentiment is from Best Chapter. |
 |
| The paper is from Bee Mine DSP and the stampset is Bee My Valentine. These items are available starting 1/4/2024 in the Jan-April 2024 catalog. |
 |
| I used the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder for the bricks and sponged it with Early Espresso. I used the Suit and Tie Dies fort he middle one. The key paper came from a retired DSP (can't remember the name). Just look through your paper stash and see what works! |
