Did You Sign Up for A Birthday Card?
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Stampin Up was promoting getting back into the habit of mailing birthday cards (you can read that post here). It kind of seems like an obvious thing, considering we are in the business of promoting hand made cards. I know I'm guilty of doing the quickie FB "happy birthday" greeting like so many others and very few cards actually get mailed out. In honor of Stampin Up pushing promoting birthday cards, I invited … [Read more...] about Did You Sign Up for A Birthday Card?
Five Minute Friday
Today's Five Minute Friday is my final swap that I took to OnStage. This card looks small because it is! It's a 3x3 notecard size. This swap is specifically for 3x3 notecards so we are all trading the same mini creations. This rose is from the Picture Perfect stamp set. This rose is a 3-step stamp. It has three separate stamps with different layers of petals and you stamp each one in a slightly different color to get the shading effect. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
Work It Wednesday – Heat Tool
For today’s work it Wednesday, I’m reviewing the Heat Tool. This ties in beautifully with another one of my swaps for OnStage. The Heat Tool is $30. It melts embossing powder and Heat & Stick Powder. The Stampin Up Heat Tool is slim, sleek, quiet, and easy to hold. It has 2 heat settings: low for drying ink, high for heat-setting powder. It also has a protective plastic tip to cover the hot metal end. The Heat Tool is must-have item for … [Read more...] about Work It Wednesday – Heat Tool
Happy Monday!
Only two more sleeps until I leave for OnStage on Wednesday! Yay! This week, I'm sharing my swaps that I'm taking with me to OnStage. I have to be honest...making swaps this year was a little tricky. In past years, the retiring products list would come out weeks before we left and we'd get a small preview list that we could purchase from prior to Convention. This year, the retiring products list comes out after Convention - same with the … [Read more...] about Happy Monday!
Five Minute Fri-Yay!
Today’s cards uses the Birthday Bouquet Suite. I love the colors used in the Birthday Bouquet Pattern Paper - Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, and Mint Macaron! The paper is so pretty that I almost don't want to cover it up. I love the clean look of the white background on a card, but sometimes it looks too bare. Using washi tape or a border pattern helps to fill up some of that space. And by using muted colors, it won't be overwhelming on … [Read more...] about Five Minute Fri-Yay!
Work It Wednesday – Exacto Knife
I had to share this awesome idea I received from Lyndi at our last Demonstrator Meeting. This was the swap she made for our last get together. I thought this would be a perfect share for Work It Wednesday since it uses a specific tool: the exacto knife. Stampin Up no longer sells an exacto knife, but you can find them at craft stores or office supply stores. They come in lots of styles and shapes. Here is a picture of the card closed. Notice … [Read more...] about Work It Wednesday – Exacto Knife
Is it Monday already?
Today's post is going to be short. I've been super busy creating projects that will be on display at OnStage next week! Time is flying by and I still have a couple more to make. I absolutely can't wait to share those projects here, but it will have to wait until Stampin Up gives me the okay. I made this card several months ago but didn't get a chance to share it here. This card is not one of the items that will be on display next week. Want to … [Read more...] about Is it Monday already?
