Work in Progress - First Time Using the Card Carrier Die Set - Fun Stampers Journey Products

I received my Card Carrier Die Set DI-0386 the other day, and just now had time to try it out.  It's on Pg 15 of the Bloom This Way catalog.

Can you see the cute orange handled bag?   That is the Card Carrier.   It is perfect to hold 4 cards and 4 envelopes (more if the cards aren't layered).   However you could also use it as a gift bag or a card holder with a gift card inside.   Lots of options and choices.

I'm making a couple of card sets (4 each) to use as gift items.   Each card will be different, but will be in a color combo that hopefully will look great with the bag.   I will share more photos soon.

Bloom Stars, A Bloom Benefit - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Get Rewarded for shopping!  For every $50, $75 or $100 you spend on items in our catalogs, select one of these exclusive Bloom Benefits, including ATSs, accessories and embossing folders.

Bloom Benefits are earned and these items cannot be purchased.  Bloom Stars AC-0287 is a $50 Bloom Benefit.

I had never seen them before except in the catalog.  Was excited to receive them so that I could share some close up photos with you along with some details. 

There are 6 stars in the package ... two black, two gold, 2 silver.   They look like leather, but I am not sure what they are made of.  They are shiny and very textured.   They have a larger glue dot on the back of each one.   They are approximately 1" x 1".

I would recommend them as a Bloom Benefit choice.   They are cute and will stand out in your design.

Valentine Projects, Day 4 - Fun Stampers Journey Products

I've been having so much fun making Valentine gifts/surprises the last week.   Hope you are all ready, and if not, I hope that my blog has given you some inspiration.

Chocolate kisses are a favorite in our home.   So yesterday I got busy and decorate a bowl of them for Valentine's Day.

I used our paper punch cartridge "Love Is" to punch out both red and also white hearts.   The cartridge punches them in three sizes which are perfect for layering.

This is another project where our Craft Glue is a must have.  It is liquid and white in color.   When it dries, it dries clear.

The hearts are glued and layered together.   Next I will add the Craft Glue to the back of the heart then firmly press the bottom of the foil wrapped heart to it and allow to dry.

I put them in a white dish, added a layered ribbon I made and then set it all on top of two large layered hearts.   This is the first time I have used the Candy Apple Sparkle Ribbon.   It is gorgeous!!!  So many sparkles on it.

A look from the top.   I used the Heart-Felt Die Set and Piercing Die Set to create the layered heart shape base that the dish is set on. 


I'm pleased with the results, and feel it looks cute for the day.

Love Is Paper Punch Cartridge TO-0006
Punch Handle TO-0031 (only need one to interchange with each cartridge)

FSJ Mystery Boxes Arrived Today - Is there a Golden Unicorn Inside???

This is so exciting!!!  My three Fun Stampers Journey Mystery Boxes arrived today.   I was going to do a live feed on Facebook this evening, but I couldn't stand the suspense --- I had to know if I had a Golden Unicorn in my box (MB-0002) and what wonderful products I had received in my two free boxes (earned with a $200 party order - automatically added to order) and my one purchased box ($25 MB-0002).

Well, about 5 minutes after the packages were delivered I couldn't stand it a minute longer.  I did a live feed to my Facebook business page.  https://www.facebook.com/KreatesKardsJourney/ 
Tonight I loaded the video into YouTube so I could share it with all of you on my blog tonight.
