A Trip to Paper Source

In one of my first posts of the new year, I talked about creating lined envelopes using tools ordered from Paper Source's website.  On a recent trip to southern California, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Paper Source is not only online, but they have a storefront as well!  We visited the store on State Street in Santa Barbara.

 

 I was drooling over this section of cards and matching envelopes in every imaginable color!

What a fun store! Since I didn't have a project in mind, I controlled myself and only picked up a few items.  I bought some envelope seals and a birthday card kit.  Can't wait to put the kit together...

Stampin Up! Inspiration

On Saturday, I attended Shereen's card workshop using Stampin Up! products. We did 4 cards and repeated them 3 times. I don't consider myself a good stamper (I get so nervous!), but I always enjoy learning new craft techniques.  Here's a shot of the 4 cards we created.  Can't wait to add them to my collection...

bring your tape runner!

During our crafting time this month, we'll be pulling out the Enchanted Papers and embellishments to create cards and little gifts with a feminine flair.  Bliss has some projects in mind, including a CD holder and tea favors.  Recently, I've found inspiration on Pinterest, which is a crafter's dream!  All of my card designs/projects this month were patterned after something I've found on Pinterest.

 You could also slip a note inside the pocket instead of a gift card.

Hope you can join us later this month to create these fun projects. Happy Valentines Day!
