I have also made up a limited number of kits to create this stunning presentation Birthday Card from the wonderful Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge.  There are over 35 pieces to this kit!!

I did a video to show you how this goes together, but had camera issues (you know those techie gremlins were here again!!) but, I think you will get the gist of it... We will also be doing this project in my UStream TV show tonight.... in a few different sizes!  Come check us out.... just click on the blue icon in the upper right corner and it will take you right to the channel.  8:00 pm eastern time...

If you want more bags, you can get 8 bags for $1.00, and up to 24 bags will fit in the original order with no additional postage. If you want more bags, please email me, and I will happily invoice you.

Additional Bags to be included with original Kit orders: 8/$1.00 (up to 2 orders) Any more than that requires additional shipping.

Cuttlebug Challenge #43 Be Inspired!

It's August, and a new month of great challenges has begun at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog! Today we are featuring digi stamps by Mlamarre Designs. I love digi stamps. They are so versatile, since they are infinitely adjustable and flippable!


In this challenge I made a gift bag with the featured digi stamp, and followed the inspiration of the designer paper to create the butterfly with Cuttlebug's Flower Set dies and Core'dinations paper. The scallop circle behind the image is from Cricut's Accent Essential's cartridge, and then it was embossed with Love Language to put those sweet little hearts on it. Tie on a couple of ribbons and a touch of Martha Stewart purple glitter for BLING and it's a wrap!



Please check out the rest of the design team's take on the challenge, and leave a comment on Cuttlebug Challenge for your FREE DIGI stamps from Mlamarre Designs! Then create a card, gift bag or layout creation of your own, and upload to Mr. Linky.


As always, I appreciate you becoming a follower of my blog, and leaving comments here, too! It was such a pleasure meeting so many of you at CHA over this past weekend. Thank you for being a very special part of my life.



Happy crafting ~
