Play with Clay

 
Last night was my “Play with Clay” Class at which everyone received a package of the Simply Pressed Clay and a package of the Buttons & Blossoms Pressed Clay Molds found in the Big Annual Catalog. The clay buttons in this cards were colored by adding a couple drops of reinker to the clay and kneading it like taffy until the color was mixed throughout.  The clay embellishments are very lightweight and pliable, which makes mailing them super easy.  If you haven’t tried the clay and molds yet, you should get yourself to my online store and give it a try.  It’s really a lot of fun.

I Love this Lizzard

Don’t you just LOVE this little lizard?  I have had people order the stamp set just to get the lizard, (isn’t that right Alona?)  This little guy is from the Tag It Stamp set which is the Ronald McDonald Stamp Set for this year.  What this means is that for the purchase of each Tag It stamp set, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities.  How cool is that?  Over the years that Stampin’ Up! has been affiliated with Ronald McDonald House Charities they have donated over $1,000,000 dollars from stamp set sales.  How cool is that?  Order your Tag It set today and enjoy the lizard (as well as the other great images in the set) and have your purchase help a great cause.
