Happy New Year!

NEW Magnolia Stamps are coming!!

Well, Magnolia picked a crazy time to do such a large release! Christmas! However,I am going to try doing another Magnolia Special Order on their new release. The new stamps are finally shipping to retailers. I have not placed an order yet, and what I plan to do is place an order within the week. If you would be interested in placing a preorder at special pricing on any of the new stamps below please email me at CASDANBEN@AOL.COM and I will send you more details on how to place the order. These will be at a discount!

Also, I haven't been ordering their dies or sentiment stamps but if you would be interested let me know, if I have enough interest I will start ordering those also.

 

Thanks again,

Michelle

The Pixie Cottage Challenge

Hi! I am back today with a card for The Pixie Cottage weekly challenge.  Now I actually wanted to have this card ready for the OWH challenge that started yesterday (see previous post)  but time got the best of me. (What else is new) So I finished it up this morning!  It felt so good to craft. I have been able to color a little here and there at the store, but have not had time to actually sit down and make a card in ages.  It felt great to be creative again.  I didn't add alot to this card because the actual stamp, The Diner from The Pixie Cottage is a bit busy with all the fun food and things.  The stamp is actually quite big, so my card is a 6x6.  Of course I had to also add a Tilda stamp from Magnolia Stamps.  I fell in love with this paper when i first saw it and have been waiting for the right project to use it.  It is Modern Homemaker from October Afternoon.  Very vintage!  I colored the stamps with Copics and used my white gelly roll marker to highlight.  It is hard to see but I used crystal effects over the refrigerator to give it a glassy effect.

Sentiment stamp is also from The Pixie Cottage

I thought I would use up all the gorgeous paper and not have to worry about what I was doing with the scraps. So I finished up the inside.

I would also like to enter this card in a few other challenges.

Creatalicious Challenge is having a "anything goes"

Stamp with Fun is also "anything goes"

Kaboodle Doodles theme is Lots of Layers
Cute Card Thursday has "anything Goes"
Stamptacular Sunday "Just Sayin'"

Don't forget to get in on my challenge here in honor of operation write home.

Magnolia Minis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that is right, I am now carrying the Magnolia Minis!!! Have you tried them?  I haven't had a chance yet, but am looking forward to it.

Things you need to know about these fine stamps?  They are rubber, however they are unmounted (no cling foam), they average 1.5-2 inches, so they work perfectly for making scenic cards and pieces.

Pricing is approximately 6.99-7.49 US dollars. Shipping rates will be very reasonable since these little gems are so light weight. First class shipping is always the cheapest option.

How about a Magnolia Mini Frequent buyers club?  I would like to reward my faithful customers.  So keep track of you Mini Magnolia purchases from my store, when you have purchased 10 minis let me know and you will receive a free stamp with that purchase.
Here are just a couple of the ones I have in stock.

More new Magnolia Stamps!

 These and several others are all in stock now and ready for purchase.

Enjoy your weekend,

Some cute cards from our Design Team

Cheryl and Katie have a little treat for us.  Look at these adorable cards.

You can find the Magnolia Stamp and the adorable Kaisercraft owl stamp at my store,in addition to many of the other goodies used on these cards.

Check our selection of Copic markers!

What Time Is It? It's Katie time.......

This will surely be a favorite of all Magnolia Stamp fans!

Katie has designed this sweet clock, and she couldn't have done a nicer job.

The good news is you all can make one too, with you own special touches, and rather inexpensively I might add!

First of all, this clock comes from Kaisercraft's Beyond the Page line and is ready for your embellishments, requiring only simple assembly!

You can use some Tilda stamps from your stash, or for that matter your very own pictures of your family, pet or friends. (I am thinking this would make a great Christmas gift)  Now Katie went all out on this and used a decorative edge punch from Martha Stewart that can be found HERE, in addition she used a Spellbinders Beaded Circle die for the middle of the clock.  You can see all the special little touches she added, such as the prima flowers.

This photo shows how dimensional this clock is, with all the recessed areas for photos or embellishments.

If you haven't been by Katie's blog before, stop by and take a look you wont be sorry you did!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Say Hello To Katie

Many of you know Katie from The Pixie Cottage Challenge, for those of you who do not you are in for a treat.  Quite a busy woman I am sure,  you will see a lot of wonderful cards and art on Katie's Blog.  Katie has joined Michelle's Scrapbooking & More this term as a design team member. Here is one of her latest cards. ( I am loving the red and black colors)

Isn't this Spanish Tilda the cutest little thing? Do you see those fancy brads?  Those are Making Memories Glitter Deco Brads
and that big red vintage button is by Jenni Bowlin.  Katie used her Copic Sketch markers to color Tilda, and did a fabulous job.
Thanks Katie!

A quick post....

I wanted to let you know the new Magnolia stamps are in stock and shipping!!  I also have swatch books in from Copic, and will give a free swatch book to anyone who orders more than 10 Copic Markers this week, and types "free swatch book" in the comments on checkout.

Wanted to share this card for all The Pixie Cottage And Magnolia Fans

I have to tell you I was thrilled when I received an email showing me this adorable card.  The Pixie Cottage and Magnolia Stamps together are always a favorite of mine!! And Nanda did a wonderful job of combining the two. Doesn't little Tilda look like she is going to pop off the page?  You have to stop over at her blog and see all her other wonderful work.

What a great card Nanda! So glad you agreed to share it with us!
You can purchase THE DOCK by Sandra Hammer HERE

I would love to see what others have done with The Pixie Cottage Stamps or any other stamps I carry.  Email me at casdanben@aol.com and give me a link to your project!

A Little Challenge Among Friends

 I recently had the company of my dear friend Jan (ScrappyJanDesigns), and while she was here I ask her to do up a card with this wonderful NEW stamp, Eerie Books by Sandra Hammer. Well, after she got home we got to talking, and I mentioned I actually had time to make a card with it too! (What a nice change to be able to sit down and play) I finally had a chance to try one of those stair step cards and just loved doing it. (If you would like a how-to on this let me know and I will post one)

So we have made this a friendly little challenge!! I cannot wait to see what Jan has come up with.  Also if you have time go back to her post with the M&Ms and make a guess on how many there are in the bottle!  And check out Jan's Wednesday post, another cute new Pixie Cottage stamp (Gone Fishin' by Di Carubia.
Okay on to my card....
The Eerie Book stamp is available for PREORDER HERE, with an expected shipping date being the 1st week of September.
So here is my card.

I have used Bazzill cardstock, Basic Grey Eerie paper, two Magnolia stamps, a new punch by Martha Stewart I believe it is called Tombstones, and of course the book stamp is from The Pixie Cottage. Preorder it before Saturday and mention this Blog post and I will refund your shipping charges for this stamp! (good worldwide, but on the stamp only, other purchases will be billed for shipping)

I will be entering it in some challenges:
Stampin' B's  (Scene)
I Did It (Anything Goes)
Stamp Something Fairytale Something
Allsorts Challenge Paper Piecing
Alphabet Challenge Blog P is for punches
By The Cute and Girly Animals (see the kitty!)
Drunken Stampers Cats
Craft Your Days Away Favorites (currently my favorite fold)

Just a Little Something to Share

I have had this image colored forever and finally got time to make a card. A friend of mine ask me to make a card for her mother's birthday, so when I know I have to do something for someone else I guess it motivates me a bit more. What I wanted to point out is the background stamp, from Alota Rubber Stamps. They have a lot of great stamps to use with Magnolia Rubber Stamps.
Paper is from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry Line

Flowers are Prima

Colored with Copics

Punch is Fiskars

Oh and glitzy pearls from Basic Grey

Thanks for stopping by!

Check out the Valentine Candy on my last post!

New Magnolia Stamp heading this way!

Finally, they are on their way to me!!! Tracking says they will arrive on the 16th of November.  So for everyone who placed their preorders, it wont be much longer.  Some have already sold out, but for what is left I will leave the preorder special pricing up till they arrive.  You can purchase the Magnolia Winter Stamps HERE

Also, I am glad to take any special requests on orders for Magnolia stamps, just send me an email at casdanben@aol.com.  It is hard to keep up with all the new releases while keeping all the older stamps in stock.  Have you seen that Magnolia is now carrying their own line of paper and now even flowers, in addition to their own magazine!?

I have another shipment coming in soon with more stamps from the fall collection, so if you are still looking for those it should not be long. In the meantime, here is a peek at a couple of the new cuties.

How about that snowman? I think he is adorable.

Hope everyone finds time to craft today!

Things I love

Hello to everyone, and Happy October! Just where did summer go? I always feel a little sad this time of year, knowing the sun and warmth are gone, and settling in for a long cold Ohio winter. That being said I think more crafting gets done this time a year. We tend to "hibernate" a bit, and with the holidays a lot of people get busy making cards and other handmade gifts.

So I wanted to spotlight some of the new things that I love.

HERE

First of all, I am finally building up my stock of Copics. Since I have lowered my prices, I think I am beating the lowest internet price on Copics Sketch markers. I am also glad to take custom orders if you don't see the colors you want.

I have some new Magnolia Stamps coming in this week, some of the cute Yummy for Your Tummy Line and the new Halloween stamps, I have them up for preorder now and expect them in towards the end of the week.

Stampavie's new line of Christmas stamps are in stock. Now isn't this little boy the cutest little guy?





And on order are the new Whiff of Joy Winter Mouse stamps, Henry is his name, and I would say it looks like fun is his game. He is just so cute! I haven't received a shipping notice from them on these yet, but expect them within a week or so. I will get them put up in the store soon. Any particular WOJ stamp you need? Email me, I will add it on my next order.


I am always happy to try and get the items you like. Any stamp lines you think I should carry that I don't? Leave me a message and I will see what I can do.

So what are you working on right now? Leave me a link to your blog so I can see!

Stay warm

Michelle
