use those scraps

here is another Video with Ali a quick card to use up some of your scraps.. in a fun and easy way..using the adoraBOWL and Chatterbox set..

I just love this card Marcy made.. blue and brown are such beautiful colors to use for Christmas.. LOVE that fun charm too..

You can never have to many Mini Birthday Wishes when it comes to your birthday.  Annette used our super cute Bite Size stamp set to created this card filled with cupcakes.

Lisa made a CAS with the ornament from SNOW MUCH FUN and this fun sentiment from CHRISTMAS MAGIC. don't you just love how she hung the little ornament from the sentiment :) 

Laurel  has used the Get the Point? and the Work it Out sets to create this cute encouragement card for a friend who has lost 6 pounds on her newly started weight loss program! I love the twine at the bottom too :)

Interactive card..

I just LOVE interactive cards.. I think they are so much fun, and something everyone needs to try.. so here is a fun interactive card I made, and I hope you will join me and try one out for yourself..

Laurel has used the Christmas Magic set.  The snow globe has been mounted on foam squares for some added dimension. I love how she used the joy word in the snow globe to direct your eye to it.. and that twine.. so fun!

Marcy  also used the Christmas Magic set.. I love how she has used it in a label on a wreath.. those beautiful red touches just makes this creation pop off the page :)

yes...

yes it is true, we have some more amazing creations for you.. Annette used Bite Size, Get the Point and Priceless joy to make this adorable creation.. did you notice how she has the outside of each banner the opposite color.. that's because the Get the Point set is made to nestle :) 

Barb used Christmas Magic and made this adorable card.. I just love how she stamped the sentiment on the doily and made this card look so vintage.. don't you love how she fussy cut out the word joy and pop it out with that red paper :) hugs

banners

I don't  know about you but I love banners..Marcy has created this adorable card using the get the point set.. I love how she used the twine to tie them together, and that flower is perfect.. :) hugs

Laurel has created this using the Christmas Magic set.  I love the dimension she created by mounting the middle row of houses on foam tape.  Of course those glittery jingle bells finish off the card nicely!

hi

I don't know about you.. but here with us it is spring break and things are CRAZY around our house.. I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful weather outside..
 Barb created this amazing card using the new Get the Point set.. I just love how she has the little bird on one of the banners with the mini speech bubble.. so fun..

Here is Lisa's creation using Get The Point? and Priceless Joy. Just look at those sponged clouds. I love how she used the banner behind the plane too :) 

A Little Christmas Magic

Laurel has used the Christmas Magic set for this sweet little card.  Don't you love the negative use of the snowflake on the tag.  It is never too early to start on those Christmas cards.  Have you made any yet?

Sweet Treats

Did someone say sweet treats...well Annette has created an entire card of them from our new Bite Size stamp collection.  Don't you just love all these little cupcakes.  I love how she add the Stickles..they are just so yummy. This card makes me want a cupcake so bad.. don't you just love the fun-ness of this card. :)

we also have a special treat for you today.. Danielle Daws created an adorable card you can watch how she did it too..

April RELEASE!!!!

Yay!! it's here.. we are so excited to show you TAWS April stamps.. (We now accept CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS TOO click here to learn how) woohoo...  

before all the fun stuff.. :) I wanted to show you these cute creations using the new stamps....

Bite Size- our Hey Cupcake has been so popular, we really wanted to bring to you a mini set. I made this set in mind for all seasons. With so many weddings coming up and cupcakes just being one of those must have things I wanted to make sure to give you a lot of variety. There are some small cupcakes put together already for you, but there are others that you can do it yourself to make one of a kind cupcakes. I think it would be such a fun idea to make a family tree using the cupcakes on a tear for a mother's day card.. I think it would be different and unique.. :) 

Christmas Magic- I know what you are thinking.. Christmas already? It's not even summer yet.. True! But if you are like me and like to submit your creations to magazines, or like to make Christmas/Holiday cards all year round then you will love this set.. PLUS! It's a new set for those magazines that they haven't seen before, so a great way to show them something new and trendy!

Get the Point?-hehe.. love it! My Mom is amazing and helps me come up with some of the fun sentiments, and names for sets.. this is a banner set, but something fun.. the solid banners fit inside the outlined banner.. so you can stamp the outline in one color and the center in another.. there are some fun patterns and a great variety of different styles too :)

  

Laurel has used the Get the Point? stamp set with an adorable man card.. I just love the fun shades she picked.. and don't you just love these stamps used with a button on top..

Barb couldn't resist our new Bite Size set! She made a card-sized candy with sweet birthday wishes all wrapped up in a hand-stamped cello wrapper. The same images were stamped and clear embossed on the chocolate brown card base. The new Bite Size set is perfect for all things sweet and happy! 

I hope you are just as excited as we are about these new sets..Come back tomorrow to see if you are one of our lucky Behind the Alley Blog hop winners :)

Behind the Alley Day 4

Lisa is bringing us a musculine neighborhood of these cute houses using the pointed arrow stamp in GET THE POINT. Her windows use a tiny square in the SNOW MUCH FUN set. And her door is made using the banner in HEY CUPCAKE. How clever. I love how she left off the door and windows, and placed the sentiment.. miss you on it.. so fun!

Come back here on Monday to see all the new releases :) hope to see you here..

Behind the Alley Day 3

Marcy created this stunning Christmas card using the new Christmas Magic set. I love her adorable heart for on top of the word Joy.

Barb created a special 'thinking of you' card using our new Get the Point? set. She also used Background Basics and built the sentiment using Jibber Jabber. Don't you just love that red, white, and blue, twine.. it's so cute, tied around the sentiment..

Behind the Alley Day 2

I just love yummy treats.. here Laurel has used the elephant from Priceless Joy to hold up one of the cupcakes from the new Bite Size stamp set. Don't you just adore that mini cupcake with twine on top.. :) so adorable!

Annette used one of the fun new sentiments from our new sentiment collection...Christmas Magic and how about those fun little berries and holly leaves...this is from our new Bite Size collection.  I love how she used washi tape, designer paper and a little twine to create this fun Christmas card.

Marcy created this adorable goody.. I love how she used the word "Color" in all different colors to match the jelly beans.. :) how fun!

seeing is believing..

Marcy  has created an adorable owl shaped card, and used the perfect Chatterbox sentiment to make this card one of a kind. 

Barb created a warm CAS hello. I love how she just laid down a strip of washi tape to create each band of color then masked and stamped a section of the Phraseology background in coordinating colors. A pretty greeting says it all...a warm hello!



Sweet!!

Annette has created a fruity orchard using our fabulous Hey Cupcake and used one of the sentiments from Chatterbox. It is full of SWEETNESS.

Lisa made a refreshing Clear (acetate) card with a little puzzle.
Do you get it?
It says Pretty Please With A Cherry On Top?
Lisa computer generated the sentiment then stamped the cherry from HEY CUPCAKE.
