Fun Friday with Needle and Thread

Sweet Note Card Tutorial

I always find I need a card for an occasion for which I don't have a sentiment.  So I try to make pretty cards that I can use for anything and they don't even have a sentiment.  The Needle and Thread Bundle allows you to cut out images you stamp and layer them with ease.  I appreciate how seamlessly Stampin' Up! products work together, which makes it so much fun to design with.

Product of the Week: Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper

This is one paper I couldn't wait to get my hands on!  The Needlepoint Nook DSP is vibrant with many different colors that coordinate with the paper.   It also features photo-realistic prints that look just like embroidery.  Each paper has an embroidered pattern on one side, and then stitched line work with a solid-color background on the reverse.  Perfect for spring and floral paper crafting, but the line work is excellent for more masculine needs too.
