LOOK like you’re an ARTIST!!

Hey Guys, LOOK like you’re an ARTIST!! Two cards with techniques that makes you feel like artistic! The only way I’ve been feeling artistic is by using stamps! But I tried something new today, I’m so pleased with how it came out! Today is Thursday, so today is YouTube day! If you missed my video you will want to go check it out, click here! If you have been following me you know that every Thursday at 4:00 (eastern U.S.) I have a video! It’s been going on 4 years, so I have HUNDREDS for you to check out!

Look like you’re an artist!

Did you notice that I colored the Cup on it’s own – no stamping!! Also, did you see the gift card holder on the last picture? BOTH of these were so much fun to make! If you would like the PDF for both of these cards, sign up for my Newsletter here on my Blog and I send them out around every 2-3 weeks! Of course it’s free!

One BIG reason to join SU!

So, I showed you how to LOOK like you’re an ARTIST, now I am going to talk to you about why I love SU! so much! Having told you about my upcoming trip to Houston, I wanted to tell you the reasons I am so excited! At every function Stampin’ Up! has, I meet people with the same excitement for Paper crafting as I have! Talk about being in a group with like minded people, when there you feel so included!

I’ve made so many lifelong friends! But, that is not the only reason to go, did you know that you get to preorder from catalogs that are coming out soon?! We get sneak peeks, free product and we get to bring home our OWN new catalog!! Funny thing, once on stage one of the workers asked what we would do if we were locked in accidentally at HQ of SU! MOST of us said we would NOT try to get out, we would go hunting for the catalogs that are new! LOL

If any of this sounds like something you might want to try out, sign up with me so you can go with me next time! For this trip I am meeting up with a good friend that I ALWAYS look for at these things. But this time I am rooming with her!! She is a Hoot and I expect to have this trip filled with laughter and fun!

You are a blessing to me!

Thank you so much for reading this, as we know you could be anywhere right now. But, you chose to be here! I work hard to make things I think you’ll like. The fact that you are reading this, hopefully I’ve fulfilled that goal! Please come back, and I would love to hear from you either here on my blog or on my YouTube channel!

Beautiful AND Useful!

One thing that would make this even prettier is to emboss the flowers with Silver Embossing Powder. I didn’t do that, but I DO think it would add to the extreme beauty!

Not withstanding the nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting.

Use your DSP!

Hey Guys! Use your DSP! Don’t hoard it like I used to. Basically I hung onto it and was afraid to use it because it was so pretty! Conversely I got tired of buying it but not using it, so I promised myself I would use it! Of course it’s been years and I’ve stuck with that premise! Besides, today I am showing you two ways to use up your DSP! Furthermore, you can catch the video I am doing today here. Nevertheless, every Thursday I do a video sharing what I love. Equally important is that if you watch Live and comment (so we know you are there), you will be put in a drawing to get one of the cards I made that day!

Undoubtedly, you can see on the first card I embossed the Designer Paper using the Softly Sophisticated folder from Sale-a-Bration! Instead of embossing the 2nd card, I decided to emboss it with Versamark and Clear Embossing Powder! Decidedly these are my favorite I’ve done in a while, one uses 1″ squares of 2 DSP’s and the other is more traditional. Of course I would love to hear from you on what you think!

You can STILL get FREE product!

As you know, Sale-a-Bration is when Stampin’ Up! has it’s yearly special! However you have to decide which of the amazing products to buy and then choose what to get for free! Because the Softly Sophisticated Bundle is 2 products, you will need to purchase $100 to get both! But, as I say, I was going to buy it anyway, this way I get something Free too!

But did you know….?

Another great thing that comes with SAB is that SU! always offers a joining bonus! This time you can choose extra $$ or you can get the awesome and amazing product:

Do you have a New Years’ resolution?

Funny thing, I don’t usually have a resolution, but this year I decided that I am sharing my history with my kids. 2 years ago on Christmas my Daughter bought me a StoryWorth subscription where she picked out questions and I answer them. Of course, this is not stamping relevant, but thought it interesting enough to share with you! In short, I only did 9 stories in the entire year, so this year I am dedicating every Friday to tell 1 story!! Wish me luck that I keep it up, you KNOW what New Year Resolutions end up being!! 🙂

Finally enough with a Stamping Technique

Owing to the fact that I REALLY love that you visit me and support my small business, Thank you! In short, I appreciate that you take time out of your schedule to visit me! Of course my wish is that I will make something that inspires you! Most important is that I get you excited to stamp and make memories for you and your loved ones!
