What are Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments?

I often use my Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments for my cards.  CPP means Click, Print and Punch. Simply put, this sentiments are printed from an Adobe PDF I created.  I print them on Stampin' Up! cardstock in the BEST quality.

I primarily use them when I create a set of greeting cards and I want it to be versatile for the recipient. I had business cards printed to package with the greeting card gift set.  I place them in the package along with an assortment of sentiments.

You are more than welcome to duplicate my business card for your personal use.  If you purchase the Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments I request that you use these ONLY for your personal use.  Please do not share the file with friends. The file is only $3.95; certainly your friend(s) can afford that purchase if they are a card maker.  To purchase Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments, click here.

Notepad of Money

I wanted to find a creative way of gifting money for a Christmas gift to our son.  I searched on Pinterest and found this idea.

Products used

• Brand new $1 bills (50)
• Notepad Compound (Amazon link)
• Bind-it-All book measures 7" x 3"
• Stampin' Up! Products
• Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper
• Sahara Sand cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock
• Great Greetings and Holiday Keepsake Ornament stamp sets
• Ruby Red ink
• Corner Rounder, Ornament and Scallop Tag Topper hand punches
• Basic Pearls
• Silver Bakers Twine
• Glue Dots
• Miniature Tree Trimming wire

Helpful Hints

1. I tried to get new five, ten and twenty dollar bills but my bank only carried ones.
2. I found the best twenties I had and stuck them between the one dollar bills.  The glue didn't "grab" them so I removed the twenties. (sorry David)
3. The less often you touch the bills, the better.
4. Add a backing cardboard to the bottom of the stack of bills (6 1/8" x 2 5/8").  This is what you attach to the book.
5. Use binder clips, place them close to the edge you are gluing.  I placed cardboard shims to protect the money from being damaged by the clips.
6. Apply thin layers of glue, allowing to dry completely each layer.  I made approximately twelve layers of glue.
