Do not attempt to adjust your screen

I am being punished by technology. I have neglected you and now my punishment is that I have to post the card sideways. Sorry. Try to imagine the card rotated a bit so that the cupcake isn't sliding off and smearing frosting as it goes.

I spent the morning with a fun stamper who visits me once a summer when she finishes filing all the tax returns for her clients. We made a variety of pop-up cards, satisfying her desire to learn how the pop-up card works.

She reminded me that you are all anxiously waiting for the Annual Stamp Garage Sale, so mark your calendar for Saturday July 11, 9:30 am, at my house! I will have many gently used stamp sets, ink pads, tons of cards and card fronts, accessories and related supplies. we are all done by noon, so don't be late! And please bring cash!
Remember that every Tuesday, Stampin' Up pops up 8 or 9 current catalog items as Weekly Deals and shaves a nice big percentage off their price. This week we have two embossing folders, two of the great glimmer/glitter paper and the awesome treat bag for the BigShot (that I just bought at full price). As well as two great ribbons and buttons! So if you're interested, just let me know and I'll try to combine your order with any others this week to save you $$ on shipping.

Happy Stamping,
Dee Tollaksen

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt

Weekly Deals, good thru June 8th -- so good some items may not be available! Currently the File Tabs are not available. Last week an item was pulled for a while, but then, mysteriously, reappeared on the available list, so anything can happen!

I know you wish you could have been here, and I wish you would come to every class I offer, but this card is da bomb! Sooo cute! Balloon Bash is the main stamp set, and it will be available at the garage sale on July 11. (Keep reading for details)

Cheerful Critters, one of my favorite sets from the Occasions Catalog--why didn't it make it into the main catalog?--features the Let's Party sentiment. Also discounted and for sale on July 11 at the garage sale, details to follow.

The real star of this card is the t-shirt die-cut. They are made from baby onesies in Baby's First Framelits and, alleluia, they did not retire this year! Just cut the onesie and lop off the bottom and it becomes a t-shirt! With the bright color combo it makes a nice masculine card, great for graduation season but also nice for birthday or a party invite.

Garage Sale: Saturday July 11 at 9:30 at my house. If you need the address shoot me an email or give me a call. If the date doesn't work for you, let me know. Deetollaksen@gmail.com


Happy Stamping!
