Birthday Card - Swirled Designs Stamp & Die Set

 It's been a hot minute since I have made a card.   I'm trying to get caught up on birthdays from the past month of being sick.  I saw this card on Facebook and decided to try and create with different colors.  I absolutely hated it. *lol* I was totally frustrated; I left it sitting on my worktable, came down a week later & looked at it. I thought to myself "This isn't really that bad. It was unique."  I sat down added the Happy Birthday, a couple doodads and it was finished *lol*.

Recipe Wednesday - Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Me & my husband love Chinese Food but can only eat in a select few restaurants without me getting sick.  I'm not sure if it's the amount of MSG that gets me, but we've found several recipes that we can make at home that are fantastic and this is one of them.  


Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef 


Ingredients 

2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Cup Raw Carrots - We cut thin strips 
3 Cloves Garlic - Minced
1 1/2 lb. Flank Steak 
3/4 Cup Water
3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Corn Starch 
12 tbsp. Soy Sauce
Broccoli Florets
 (We add broccoli to ours) 
1tbsp Sesame Seeds   
2 serving Green Onion Stalk 

Directions
Cut flank steak into thin strips. In a Ziplock bag add steak pieces and corn starch. Shake to coat steak well.   

Mix together in a Ziplock bag - garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, water, brown sugar.  Add steak, mix well so it's coated in the sauce. Pour all into crockpot. 
Add the carrots & broccoli about an hour before it's ready. 
Cook on low 4-5 hours until meat is tender.
Serve over rice, garnish with green onions & sesame seeds.

Starting in May, Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way they share products in print, with a new, streamlined catalog strategy designed to make shopping from our catalogs easier and more intuitive. Instead of an annual catalog and multiple minis, they will be moving to three beautifully designed catalogs per year—each one complete, current, and easy to use on its own. No more overlapping catalogs!   

 Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:

  • Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss products
  • Heat Tool
  • Cutting & Scoring Blades Multipacks
  • Select Coloring Tools
  • Storage
  • Select Adhesives
  • Select Paper products including Envelopes, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, and Masking Paper - ( I'm stocking up on my basic colors as well) 
  • Designer Series Paper
  • Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills - (Double check your ink refills, I would grab these before they go up)
  • Stampin’ Blends
  • Select Embellishments, Twines, and Linen Thread
 
 Paper Pumpkin will be increasing on March 11th to the following:
Pay as you go - $29.00 US 
Pre-Paid - 3 month - $87.00 US 
Pre-Paid - 6 month - $ 174.00 US
Pre-Paid - 12 month 348.00 US
Refills will increase to $14.50 & Past Kit's $26.00.
