Sweet Ice Cream Thank You Card

Posted on by

Today’s card is one I created to share during our OnTour event. I wanted to show case the NEW 2021 In Colors that I had just received during PreOrder. Here is what I came up with.

I like the way the card turned out. I used the Basic Borders Die to create a “table cloth” since I thought the Soft Succulent gave off a vintage vibe. I’m really loving the Evening Evergreen since it can be used as a neutral color like I did here.

I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you. This is a two step stamp set and so you’ve got all kinds of options.

More 2021 Annual Catalog Organizational Items

Today I’ll be sharing with you my Die Case Inserts for our coordinating dies. I like the fact that these sit on my shelf with the stamp sets and have the same look. All nice and neat!

If the Die set is large I’ll add a second magnetic sheet to the other side of the case so I have plenty of room. The magnetic sheets are vent covers that I picked up at my local hardware store and cut down.

I simply print these Case Inserts off on Whisper White card stock, then trim and insert. Click HERE to learn more about that.

Here are Die Case Inserts for all the Dies found in the 2021 Annual Catalog – If you find an error or there is a problem please let me know so I can correct it for you.

2021 Annual Catalog Organizational Items

Posted on by

Today I’ve got some wonderful items to help make organizing your craft space easier for you while you’re waiting for those fun new colors and products to arrive. I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.

First I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.

2021-2022 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart PDF

I actually print this twice and cut one apart to put with my Designer Series Paper since the printing is bigger than what comes on the tag board backer. You can also keep my Design Tools & Color Swatch Books on your desk or with it too for easy reference. (I do both since I tend to bury the swatch book under everything on my desk when I’m creating, lol).

2020-2021 Annual Catalog Color Collection Inventory Chart

Want a quick way to know what colors you have on the go? I love this purse sized inventory list for keeping my items handy, so I’m sharing it with you. It’s got all of our color families even the two In Color Families. Simply print, score, then fold to create a tri-fold reference chart that you can tuck in your purse

2021 Color Collection Tri-Fold Inventory Chart PDF

Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.

Labels, Labels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2021 Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and my Classic Ink Pads.

2021 Annual Catalog File Drawer Labels (Avery 5167) PDF

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing more items to get you started along with my Dies Case Organizational Items with you.

If you don’t have a catalog and would like one, why not contact me today to find out how to get yours!

The catalog is free, you’ll simply pay for shipping or you can stop by and pick one up if you are local. Simply email me your name, address, and phone number.

And if you like all the news and information about what is happening why not sign up for my newsletter or have my blog posts delivered right to you? You can click HERE to sign up for one or both. Then remember to click the link in the email you receive to get started.
