Still loving Candi!

It has been ages since my last post.  Shame on me!!!  I am still in love with Candi and below are two card that we made for Make and Takes at recent conventions using the Iced Gems Candi.  Unfortunately, Iced Gems has been discontinuted but these cards can be made using any color Candi. I have the new Candi minis in stock but they are not on my website.  Yahoo no longer supports the software that I use for my website so I can't get in to add or delete products. I am in the process of creating a new website, but I am comuter challenged so this might take a while. I will post some of the new Candi here and if you need assistance, email me and I can help you.

We just got back from CHA in Chicago and I saw lots of new products. The one that I am most excited about is Candi. These are little domed dots that you attach to your cards and projects with foam tabs called Candi Fix. You can stamp on them, distress them, glitter them, or just leave them alone. They come in a miriad of colors and styles and are really fun to use. I have attached a sample card. These are on my website under the Accessories tab.

Here is a fun Easter project. I purchased glass eggs from Luminarte. I added red liner tape or glue dots and sprinkled Flower Soft on them. I added jewels and tiny pearls. Pretty, don't you think? The polka dotted one has the newest Flower Soft colors on it. They are brand new and I will be adding them to the website soon. If you want to order them, just let me know. The colors are Marigold, Meadow, and Pink Peony.

Hi Bloggers, I am so sorry that I haven't posted in ages. I have been so busy! Today, I am showing you cards that we will be making at the Chippewa Falls, WI rubber stamping convention on March 26. The cards are pretty much the same because they will be made in a class. The flowers are the new 3D die cut cards that I am now selling on my website. I love these! They are so easy to do...just punch out and layer with foam dots. In minutes you have a beautiful card!

I won't be posting for a few days. I am off to CHA hoping to find new and exciting products to bring to you. Watch my website for pics of the new items and specials. I'll post my "finds" as soon as I get back.

I haven't posted in quite a while so today is the day. I am going to do a shoebox party and needed some simple cards that can be made in 15 minutes or less. I got out my Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps and got to work. I didn't use the stamps that I sell...shame on me!...but these worked out better for me in this instance. All of the cards have either gold or crystal Stickles on them but it doesn't show up well in the scans.

I hope all of you have a fun and safe 4th. I am going to a party and I am taking a salad. I am sharing the recipe. It is so good that I could eat the whole bowl by myself!

Cashew Crunch Salad

equal parts of Romaine and Iceberg lettuce

1 c. cashews

1 pear - cored and chopped

1 red apple - cored and chopped

1/2 c. Craisins

1 c. shredded white cheese (mozzarella, romano, or any one you like)

Dressing

1/4 c. lime juice

1/2 c. sugar

2/3 c. oil

2 t. dried onion

1 T. poppyseed

1/2 t. salt

1 t. Dijon mustard

mix above together and chill for at least an hour.

You can add the dressing to the salad when ready to serve, but I put it in a little glass container on the side so everyone can add their own.

Enjoy!
