Organizing that paper pile over on the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog!

 

Dealing with the P word today......PAPER—it's a bad word. It is a messy necessity.

Copic storage and some new fun finds.

I use an old industrial utensil holder from a dishwasher. I found it at one of the thrift stores I shop. Don't remember which one. It works perfectly. It is divided into 8 sections and has handles. But, as you see it is getting pretty full. I might have to change storage pretty soon.

Here is another one I found online that would work well too.

I also got my order from Product Performers and A Muse in the mail on Friday.

New stamp sets from A Muse.

Fun paper pads, ribbon and tape.

Washi tape from Cosmo Cricket

I had my very first workshop today. I think it went really well.

I hope the girls liked the cards we made.

Here they are:

This is the easiest card EVER! all you need is a stamp set, the acrylic block and 2 stamp pads. Using the block cover with ink and stamp as background. Arrange the clear stamps and stamp over the background.

Simple but elegant.

Super simple....1 stamp and squares of paper with corners rounded.
