Good Morning!

Good Morning! If you are still looking for Christmas ideas, be sure to look at my Crafts for Sale link here  on my blog! I'll be switching out things in my store in the next week. 

If there is something special you would like to see/learn how to make, be sure to contact me. I'm working on some technique cards for January/February card class at the Branson Community Center.  Two are completely done; one is 2/3 done and I still have a fourth one to do.  We make two of each technique and only do one technique a night.  Classes are from 6-8 pm, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.  

Our new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs are in! Stop by and see me at the Branson Mill Craft Village and pick yours up today!

Mini Cups

I had a customer come in wanting 12 mini cups and stands. I only had 4 ready for purchase, so I had to go into high gear to get 12 made as quickly as possible.  She really liked the green papers from the retired Wintergreen Designer Series Paper so I used up the rest of this paper to make these. 

Here they are all wrapped up, waiting for their goodies to be added.  The handmade gift tags were placed inside for the customer to fill out. 

Happy Crafting,

Desiree's Craftroom Update!

It's been a crazy couple of days!  I've been trying to get my inventory up so my shelves don't look so bare!  

There is a lot going on with Stampin' Up!  Be sure to log in and reserve your Stamparatus today, if you haven't already.  Remember to have your credit card on hand.  Here's the link to order yours.  On the right side, you will see a Click Here for the Stamparatus -- log in with your Stampin' Up! account.

You should also check our year end Sales Event.  Not all the items will be carried over through January, so get your list out and double check those "MUST HAVEs."

Friday, I worked on Corner Bookmarks and posted progress on Twitter and Instagram.  If you're not following me there, just look for Desiree'sCrafts.  

It's easier for me to post during the day from my phone on progress updates.  I'll try to get ahead of things and post more often here.  For today, enjoy these pretty corner bookmarks.

Stocking Stuffers, Anyone?

If you need some stocking stuffer ideas, here are the tags I made for my Hershey Nugget Trays. 

I used retired Stampin' Up! designer series papers; some current and retired stamp sets; and parts of a kit from a few years back to help with inspiration! 

I also still have some of the Candy Canes dressed up as well.  All of these are available in my store at the Branson Mill Craft Village.  Stop in and see me soon!  

And of course, I do the Hershey Bar Wraps!

If you're not local and want to get some of these or want kits so you can make them yourself, drop me a line.  

These are just some of the ideas that you can help Santa with filling up those stockings!  After all, everyone loves chocolate, right?

Our Veterans

H A P P Y    V E T E R A N S   D A Y 

to all our veterans!  Be sure to thank a Veteran for their service and sacrifice.  

I worked 32 years for the DOD and VA Healthcare system so the veterans hold a very special place in my heart.  

Today's share is a card I started on in September to show my appreciation to our veterans.  It took a while and lots of configuration, but I got them done!

Here's the Flag that pops up when opening the card.

And here's the front of the card completely done!

Instructions coming soon -- things have been kind of hectic with this being Veterans' Week here in Branson.  

I hope you enjoy today's share!

Happy Halloween!

I hope you have a safe and fun Halloween! 

Starting tomorrow, Stampin' Up! is releasing our new Stampin' Blends!  These are new alcohol markers that make coloring so much easier.  And with the color remover, you can remove your darker color for a lighter shade.  These are wonderful for floral, birds, leaves, etc!  

Stop in today and check the new blends out!

Gift Boxes

Here are some cute little gift boxes I made for Christmas.  Imagine receiving one of these with a ring, earrings, or a necklace in it?  You'd never guess what was inside.  

This first one I used the new Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers.  I used a retired stamp set, White Christmas, for the words and snow flakes.  

This box is made using the same papers!

And this box is made using retired designer series papers and stamp sets.

Pizza Box Scrapbook

Here is another project Paula, Pam and I worked on. This is new and I felt like I needed to have more than one on the shelf! I used the new Stampin' Up! Pizza boxes to make these. I can't wait to make some more 3X3 cards to put inside some of these! For today, though, here is a scrapbook!

You get 8 boxes for $6 (144645)!! And Stampin' Up! has the 3X3 white envelopes (145829) (40 envelopes for $9.00) in the Holiday Catalog as well! You may want to stock on up both of these items if you fall in love with the pizza box! My inspiration came from Pinterest and fellow demonstrators.

We used the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers (144621) on this project.

And if you received your October Paper Pumpkin, you will see this kit coordinates with this DSP.

Happy Crafting!
