Cake and Black Friday SALE!

I have a terrible sweet tooth.  I believe Dr. Pepper is the sweet, sweet nectar of heaven and anything chocolate absolutely qualifies as dinner.  (This has proven to be a problem in my weight loss efforts, I'm sad to say!)  Normally, I'm not a big cake/cupcake gal, but lately, I've been wanting birthday cake for some reason.  I have no idea why???   I can only assume that's what inspired this card...

I used Just Because Cards for all the cuts on this card.  The card base, envelope and scalloped rectangle were all cut at 5.50".  The paper is from a stack by Momenta that I got at Big Lots.  I am not sure I'm in love with this paper pack, so I keep using it to try and convince myself.  

I cut the cake at 4.25", then inked all the edges in brown chalk ink.  After assembling all the layers, I added some details with my white gel pen.  I haven't used it in a while and I think it was feeling neglected.

Check out that action shot!!!  I adhered the cake using an Action Wobble.  (I get really proud of my photography skills when I can actually catch the wobbler in motion.  It only took 42 tries  And I'm only exaggerating a little, I swear.)

If you haven't tried Action Wobbles yet, you're missing out!  I will be having a sale over the holidays on these little babies, so keep reading for the details.

Here's a pic of the envelope, also cut from Just Because Cards.  The stamp is from Verve.

Now...  How about a sale???

All products are 20% off through Sunday!  I have had multiple problems with my store on the site, so please visit my Etsy shop HERE to view Wobbles, twine, cards and more!

Also, with every order over $15.00, you will receive 20 yards of free twine.  When you check out, please use coupon code thanks to receive your discount.

Have a fabulous day!

SUMMER SALE!!

I know that some of you are blessed to not be under the "heat dome" (as our meteorologists call it), but here in Oklahoma, they're predicting 105 for our high today!  ICK, ICK, ICK!  I hate to be hot and even worse, I hate to sweat.  Since it's officially summer now, I thought it was time for a Summer Sale!

Stuff!

Hello all my crafty friends!  I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday so far.  I am finally getting back into the swing of things after several terribly busy weeks.  I have a few projects that I hope to share with you in the next few days.  Until then, I thought I'd share a couple of fun things I found on Pinterest.  (Today is the first time I've been on there in weeks....I was having withdrawals)

First of all, isn't this pretty?  I just love a rainbow of colors.  This was done with embroidery floss, but I was thinking this would work great for twine, string or even ribbon.  I already have something for my baker's twine storage (which I'll show you later), but I'm thinking this could work for some of the solid colored twine I bought in many different colors.  Hmm....

I think this is a brilliant idea.  I have a corner between the wall and my desk and it's mainly wasted space.  This could be the solution.  I keep saving all these ideas...someday I may just use them!

I also wanted to let you all know I'm having a Mother's Day special on Pink and Paper Twine.  

Twine Sampler Pack

Regular Price $14.99

Go here to see the deals!  Thanks to you all for the support and orders from my new store.  I am working on new products as we speak.  Some are from other manufacturers and some are Pink and Paper exclusive products, designed by me, so be sure to check back often for updates.

I also wanted to say thanks so much for the kind thoughts, words and prayers for me and my family over the last few weeks.  You are all so kind and thoughtful and I really appreciate it.

Have a great day!

Blessings,

Cheryl
