Kerry’s Paper Crafts

OK so I have to make this quick…we are currently on the road headed to my parents house in Western MA for the Holiday (gotta love WAN cards!) - I’m sharing a quick Christmas Card with you…it was created with all Cosmo Cricket stuff - such a cute line!

The button is actually from Basic Grey…matches quite well.

I wanted to send a big THANKS to all you blog readers out there. I am very thankful for you this time of year - I cannot believe how much my blog has grown over the course of 1 year! It’s great & so much fun. I will be back in a few days after the madness of eating turkey is over & will share more projects with you then.

P.S. I snagged a new tool the other day at Michaels…I know, I have a shopping problem. (someone actually commented & asked me how much I shopped there…the answer is….you DON’T want to know…LOL!!) Anyway…I have always wanted a ScorPal - but I’ve never got around to it, and I didn’t want to pay $40 for something that simply scores…

but I found something at Michael’s for $19.99 and used my 40% coupon. So yea, it was $12. And…umm…it’s awesome??!?!

It’s made by Martha Stewart. I have no idea what exactly the product name is, I’ve searched high & low on the interwebs & can’t find anything. The only thing I did find was this handy blog comparison which compares the MS one vs. the Scorpal. So…if you are interested, check it out!

Cards, Product Review

The lovely people over at 3M sent me some samples of their new Post-It Craft Paper to play with. This paper comes in all different colors, is a bit thinner than cardstock, but has a sticky back to it so that all you have to do is cut, peel the backing off & stick onto your project. I thought I would share a video of my experiences with it, and some project ideas I had for it.

You can currently find this product at Joann’s.

Here are some pics of the projects I made, be sure to watch the video for details on a few of them…

Paper Pieced Card:

Simple card made using punches, adhering Craft paper straight to the card:

using the Craft paper as a mask:

Overall I think it’s very useful, especially in your Cricut. (Provocraft actually endorses this paper). I am sometimes hesitant to use my Cricut for paper piecing because it involves lots of pieces, glue & patience, LOL. So the fact that this paper comes off the cutting mat with adhesive already on it works great for me.

Anyway, here is the video - hope you enjoy!!
