Come in today and make four cards of your choosing from kits that I have already put together!  You select which four cards to do and sit down and make them.  Card Buffet does include envelopes so you can decorate them as well!

Card Buffet is from 12:30 to 3:30.  You must know how to make cards/do the technique before selecting the card.  If you need direction/instruction, you will be charged a class fee in lieu of the Card Buffet fee.

Kit selection includes the following kits:












Also keep in mind that we can change the sentiments as well.  We used the Christmas candle card in one class and made it a Birthday card!  Let your imagination go!

Last Chance Easter Basket Items

If you're looking for that something unique gift to add to your Easter Baskets, stop in at Desiree's Craftroom, located inside the Branson Mill, today before 4 PM.  We close early today to allow us to get ready for our family Easter festivities.

Here are the latest Sweet Treat bunnies I created using up all my Sweet Treat Cups from Stampin' Up!  These are retired so, yes, I'm using up some more of my stash.  You turn the bunny over and pull his head up, and the M&Ms come out the backside!  These are so cute and I love showing people how they work.  


What else can you put inside these, if you don't like chocolate?  (BTW, who doesn't like a little chocolate?)  Well, if you're giving to a female, how about earrings, a necklace, a ring.  Or you can also put money inside this as well!  For the males, you could still put the above items in, but if they like to fish, how about a new fishing lure?  

I'm also providing you some other Easter items that I have available at the store:
 
Bunny Bags w/6 Hershey Kisses and Notecard

Hershey's Candy Bar Wrap

Bible Bookmarks

Bunny Fry Boxes w/Hershey Nuggets

Hershey Kiss Baskets

Woodgrain Cross w/Hershey Bar

Happy Crafting, and may you have a Blessed Easter,

Recent Class Photos

I've been so busy that I forgot I had class photos to post!  If you remember, I posted about new classes that you can purchase -- buy five hours and fit hour increments in whenever your schedule allows.  Well, Cindy came back and finished her Paper Towel Roll last week.  This week didn't work out, but she will be back next week to make a Purse Gift Card Holder (or chocolate candies, a necklace, earrings, etc.) and a Two Teabag Holder (or Ghiradelli Chocolates!).  



I also had Pat and Loretta back for another visit and they made four cards that I had already cut.  They called and asked if they can come in the next day and make four cards.  Well I went through my stash (we all have them!) and found four cards they hadn't made yet.  Here are some pictures of those as well.




Lastly, Rose Ann came in while I was doing Pat and Loretta's class to schedule her Starburst class for the next day.



If you see something in my store and you would like to learn how to make them, schedule your class today!  Remember, when taking a craft class, I provide the tutorials via email afterwards! 

If you just want to come in and make cards, let me know and I'll see what I have left ready to go.  

Happy Crafting,

Going, Going, Gone!


Look closely, here is the 2017 Stampin' Up! Retiring Stamps, Ink, Paper and other accessories!


As many of you know, it’s that time of year where Stampin’ Up! retires some of their product.  You can also click here to see the Retiring Stamps, or here to see the Retiring Accessories. 

Some items that I’m surprised to see on the list:

          Adhesive Remover
          Owl Punch
          Staz On Cleaner

  
 DON’T WAIT!   The Stampin’ Up! Retiring Product List has been released!  It offers fantastic discounts (up to 50% off) on select products that are retiring from the Stampin’ Up! Annual and Occasions Catalogs!
THINGS TO KNOW!
·          
    • Retiring tools & accessories will only be available while supplies last.
    • Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed available until May 22, after which they will only be available while supplies last.
    • Going, going, gone!  All retiring items will be discontinued after May 31.
One of the many things that sell out FAST are the In Color items, including ink refill, ribbons, doilies, etc.  If there is anything on your list that you cannot live without, be sure to check the attachments. 

Please, use this Hostess Code:  2E73W92F, when placing your orders.  If you are local to Branson, I plan on having a “Retirement Party,” on Saturday, April 29th, so you can see some of the stamp sets, etc., that I have that will be going away on May 31st.  I hope you will come out and see the many items that will be retiring!  I hope to have a chance to select some items for pre-order for our May class – I’ll schedule it towards the end of the month (not Memorial Day weekend!). 

As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  If you would like a 2017-2018 catalog, let me know.  If you place a $50 order, your catalog will be free!     

Happy Crafting,

March Paper Pumpkin Pieces

So I had these leftover pieces, and wanted to make some different Easter treats.  



Going through my stash, I found some more (RETIRED) Sweet Treat cups that need to be used up. 

I pulled out my Easter tote that I keep my different kits in and I had enough supplies cut to make six bunny rabbits.  To dress these up, I used the pieces from my March Paper Pumpkin kit!


Dapper Denim

Peekaboo Peach

Aren't these colors great?  I love how these turned out!

March Paper Pumpkin Kit

If you haven't put together your March Paper Pumpkin Kit, what are you waiting for?  These are so cute!  I made nine bags and coordinating 3X3 cards to go with each bag.

Dapper Denim

Peekaboo Peach/Dapper Denim

Sweet Sugarplum

I'm selling these at my store, Desiree's Craftroom, located inside the Branson Mill Craft Village.  If you're not local and would like to purchase one or two of these, message me!  I have a limited supply of these available!

I put six pastel-wrapped Hershey Kisses in each bag.  What do you put inside your Easter gift bags?

Come back later today to see what I did with some of the leftover pieces!

Happy Crafting,
