Stamping with Blocks

Want shapes, use SU! blocks!

Hey guys, Today I am sharing a fun technique where I am stamping with blocks. So, today I have two cards doing that! Contrarily I don’t make fast/easy cards….I like a challenge! Moreover, if you watch me regularly, my guess is you like advanced cards/techniques too! Of course, every once in a while I decide to go simple, it’s not often but it happens! Therefore, If you missed my video you can catch it here, it goes live at 4!! Every Thursday (unless I am out of the state) I do a Live or pre-recorded video. But, If you haven’t seen any of them, check out my channel, I have HUNDREDS of videos!

Significantly for a lot of you is that I offer FREE PDF’s of my video projects! In order to be on the list, you need to sign up for my Newsletter, (look for it beside the post). Every week I will send you the step by step instructions PLUS pictures that I did the week before! Of course, my hope is that you sign up and that you are inspired to create!

Of course the positive things I get are the reason I’ve been a Demonstrator since 2003!

Ladybugs are Everywhere!

Plus 2 Fancy Folds

Hey guys, Ladybugs are everywhere! I am in the mindset of using any stamp sets that ‘might’ retire that would make me sad. The Hello Ladybug IS one of those! This way if it retires, I can at least say I used it before it left. So, ladybugs are everywhere in my cards for today. Except one card uses the ladybug bundle and makes a butterfly! If you missed my video for today, you can catch it here! Of course I tell you every week that I do weekly videos on my YouTube channel. For instance, last week I did a Live and this week I am doing a recorded video. My hope is that I can get you to subscribe to my channel AND sign up for my Newsletters where I give you that weeks PDF’s for free.

Ladybugs are Everywhere!

This is a fancy fold, the circle is on the inside.

Would you like the PDF’s for these cards?

Surprisingly, I give them away to those who sign up for my Newsletter! Moreover, I send them out each week, so you are hopefully, inspired each week! Of course, I add in little tidbits of what’s going on that week, and sometimes I have big news!! Particularly the retired list is coming out, and I would bet you would want to know what is leaving. Want to get a catalog FREE in the mail, let me know and I will send you one! It IS free, but I ask you to send me $10 for mailing. Inside your catalog will be a $10 Gift Certificate so basically it’s free!

Lastly

Every week I thank you for coming, and I mean every word! YOU can go anywhere and the fact you are reading this means a ton to me. After watching the video be sure and check out the post on Besties!

Reflection Card

Using Rhino Ready

Hey Guys, I’m making a Reflection card today as well as a cool card using Heron Habitat over on YouTube! The Reflection card uses Rhino Ready the stamp set only sold OnLine. BOTH of these sets you just might want to get sooner rather than later. As far as Heron Habitat, the dies are already sold out and they aren’t coming back. Of course this means that this stamp set is retiring. As far as Rhino Ready goes, it is only available OnLine, so we don’t know how long it will be there.

Stamps & Dies Unconventionally

Rhino Ready done creatively

Hey guys, today I am using stamps & dies unconventionally by making the dies/stamps creatively. Of course my brain went somewhere different! When I saw the dies, the trunk reminded me of Lightning. So, I HAD to try and see what I came up with! Now, that’s just one card, the other has the Rhino from the Rhino Ready stamp set hiding in the grass, getting ready to jump into action! Most importantly you can go see the video where I make both cards here!

Want a FREE Pdf of BOTH of these projects!?

Every time I have a video I make a PDF for my projects. After that, I send out a Newsletter with the PDF’s included! How do YOU sign up for the Newsletter? It’s easy, you only need to look at the right when you’re reading my blog and fill out the form for my Newsletter! Because I don’t send out Newsletters EVERY week, I send out what I made between the Newsletters. This way you won’t miss out on anything, but you are also not getting a NL EVERY week! Of course, I am one of those ‘giving people’ so I want to be sure that you have access to whatever I make. So, my ask is that you sign up! After all, you only need to look at the things I have blogged to give you an idea of what you will be getting, click here to see!

Join the Besties Club!

Important to realize is that I offer a Club that is probably the BEST deal you will come across! Basically the Besties are my 2 Friends and I each make 2 cards using the same products (ever see Chopped!?). This must be remembered that the three of us have the same product to use, we NEVER come up with the same ideas! Of course there is no kidding here, every month I learn something new and I have been stamping for over 22 years!

Another key point, each month with your kit you get $22 approx. of product! Chiefly it is a roll of ribbon, a package of Embellishments and a half pack of DSP, plus you get a PDF with all 6 projects! Moreover, you will get all the ingredients to make the cards (cut & ready for you to put together!) we also have a Facebook group where we have contests, share tips and have fun! You also get a pillow gift! All this for $40 for porch pickup or $47 if I need to mail it!

Of course we also tell you what is coming the next month so if you want to buy the stamps/bundle you can, but it is not necessary you can always use what you have on hand! To emphasize, this month is our TWO year anniversary! Certainly when we started I don’t think any of us thought we would be still going strong two years later! To explain, If you want more info look at the top bar on my blog and click on The Stampin’ Besties Club.

Finally

Certainly, I always say thank you in this spot. But I’m not sure if you realize how MUCH I appreciate you being here! As a matter of fact, I know you have choices for where you spend your time. At the same time, If you spent ANY of it with me, I am thankful! Of course, my hope is that I can help you with your crafting needs too! Given that, see you next time!

Techniques & Fancy Folds!

Problem Solved!

Hey Guys!, today I have Techniques & Fancy Folds along with Solving problems! Have you ever tried to color something you already Embossed with Powders? For some reason the Blends don’t work with them. Of course, I still want to use my embossing powders and use Blends, so with my Stamparatus I have brought the two together perfectly! You can watch my video where I walk you through the steps.

Techniques, do you like them?

You may remember that I used to have a channel where every Tuesday I would do Two techniques. I called it Twosday’s Techniques and I posted on Vimeo (you can still find them there!). Well, I love techniques because using them gives more life to your stamping supplies. Anything that lets me come up with cool cards/scrapbook pages is in my wheel house. For todays video I am showing how to use two products that are like oil and water, but teaching you how to use them together.

Fancy Folds yay or nay?

I would love to know if you like Fancy Folds? Obviously I like them, but I don’t want to do them as often if YOU don’t! Sometimes I get bored with the cards folded the regular way, there is only so many ways you can change it up. After all there is landscape and portrait, that’s pretty much it! Of course the challenge is whether it fits in our envelopes, If I find a fancy fold that won’t fit in our envelopes, I tend to stear clear. What do you think? I’d love to know what you like.

Techniques & Fancy Folds!

Techniques & Fancy folds, of course this is a fancy fold!
Techniques & Fancy Folds, this is the technique card!

These cards are very fun to make, the first one I got the fold from Sue Campfield, and the other one I saw on Pinterest, both I designed myself, hope you love them as much as I do! Techniques & Fancy Folds are my jam!

You can get BOTH PDF’s by signing up for my Newsletter (upper right of post), each time I do a pdf I send it to my Newsletter people. Get ready to get a bunch of ideas!!

Last chance!

This year seems to be speeding by once again. You only have one month left to get your Sale-a-Bration free stamps! Spend $50 and you can pick out from this one or others! Click on the link and you will be in my store, you can see all the items for SAB by clicking on the specials tab.

Starter kit offer!!  Great Deal!
You will love my Team Lets Stamp! We have a lot of fun and I send out 1 free stamp set every month!

Sorry I was gone for a month

Some of you already know this but I went to DisneyWorld with my family last month! We spent 8 days with all my grandkids and all three of my daughters with 2 of their significant others. Every day was full of waking up before dawn, opening the park (rope drop anyone!?) and then trying to get all our rides that we ‘had to’ ride before it got too busy. Can I tell you that the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride is so awesome! I have a bad neck due to my accident when I broke my C2 vertebrae, so most roller coasters I worry will exacerbate my condition, but the Guardians ride was so smooth and fun! If they let us I’m sure we would have got right back in line!

As if that wasn’t enough, we also spent 4 days at Universal Studios, also opening the park! Let’s just say we left our ‘vacation’ more tired than we started! 🙂 All of us have decided that NEXT time, Universal will only be 1-2 days and being a Disney Family we still HAVE to spend a day at each park. BUT we will add in rest days so we can recoup and enjoy the resort.

Anyone here a Disney Fan? I moved to CA in 1969, grew up going to Disney. Then we moved all around the states and once we moved to NC we figured we could still be a Disney Family, but this time it would be Disney World. I LOVE Disney and feel my happiest when I am there, you?

That’s it for today!

I hope you enjoyed your visit! Please come back next week for my next round of cards/video. NOT sure if I will do a Live on YouTube or just upload a video. All depends on my time and schedule! Thank you so much for coming, I really appreciate you!
