 Hi Crafting Friend, My anniversary is tomorrow and our wedding day was the beginning of our family (nevermind that we didn't start having kids until almost 7 years later) so, I'm trying to start a new tradition, celebrating " Family Day " on our anniversary. I bought gifts for my husband, son & daughter, and their significant others, and wrapping them is where today's post comes in.  At first I was going to use DSP to wrap them, but I have wrapping paper so I decided to use that and make tags to coordinate instead. I used 3 different wrapping papers. (one for each of the 2 couples and one for my husband)  Each set of tags coordinates with one of the wrapping papers.  The Lemon Lime Twist and Early Espresso tags have retired Early Espresso ribbon on them.

 Hi Crafting Friend, How are you enjoying the 2024 Annual Catalog so far? Its quite different than previous years, isn't it? If you don't have one yet, contact me and I'll send one to you. This week's card features stamps and dies that aren't even in the catalog. They are part of the Online Exclusive offerings, as are all the kits . These categories have products added to them every couple of months, rather than a couple of times a year like the Annual and Mini catalogs. That means more variety for you to choose from, so don't forget to regularly check them out.  The stamps and dies used today are called Latte Love and the DSP is called A Little Latte . The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored, folded and burnished at 4 1/4" on the long side. Use the Pecan Pie Stampin' Write Marker to place random dots around the edge of the card front. The cardstock layer is Crumb Cake cut to 4" X 5 1/4" Randomly stamp th
