Twin Birthday die cut flip cards

  

 Last week we celebrated my youngest two kids birthdays, who are fraternal twins. And of course I made them birthday cards, but not just any cards. These are fun die cut flip cards, that my boys love, and they are similar, as you can see, but different. Just like them.

Happy Birthday, Boys!

One Sheet Wonder - Thank You Cards

 Happy New Year! I hope 2017 finds you happy, healthy, and crafty. And speaking of crafty I continue our family tradition of making "thank you" cards after the holidays. I was taught by my mom, who was taught by her mom, to send thank you notes for gifts. And it's my ongoing resolution to continue that tradition with all four of my kids too. Of course in today's day and age they would rather send an email note, which I think is better than nothing, but I prefer they do it properly. So, if I make the handmade cards then they will write a special note and sign them. See complete tutorial and supply list here: http://mykraftkloset.weebly.com/blog/one-sheet-wonder-thank-you-cards

2017 Stamp and Scrapbook Expo Show Dates

The 2017 Stamp & Scrapbook Expo dates for the ultimate paper crafting and stamping events are listed below. See when they are coming to a city near you, or book a hotel,  and join the fun. With this many shows happening around the nation, the question is not what show to attend, but how many shows can you attend?  And if you are a card maker, scrapbooker, paper crafter, mixed media artist, jewelry maker, or a stamper, you don't want to miss this show. Each one is different and they are amazing! And if you don't see a city near you, mention it on their website. They are always looking for new venues to add every year.

 I've attended several shows over the years and have received some super shopping deals, great classes, amazing make and takes, and the whole experience is fantastic. Enjoy learning some great ideas, new techniques, great instructors, and wonderful products given to each class participant too. Sign up for their newsletter and get the scoop, coupons, deals, vendor list and more. Totally worth it. Hope to see you there! ~Kim
