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!!

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!

PP Outside the Box Alternatives

Check out what I made from the kit!

Hey Guys!, Today I am sharing my PP outside the box alternatives! Paper Pumpkin is so much fun! For this reason every month I am excited to see what my surprise will be! OF course, Christmas cards are my all time FAVE! To point out, did you see that there is a Sleigh in the stamps!! Every time I see a sleigh like this one, it takes me back to when I was a kid traveling to my Grandparents house on Christmas Eve. Consequently, sitting in the back of the station wagon I was always looking for the sleigh! Most important, my parents had the radio on and they were saying that they spotted something RED in the air that was blinking! On the whole do you have any fun memories of Christmas and Santa?

Consequently go to my Live or on my Channel, to see these cards made, you can click here. For the most part, I really love doing my Live’s by unfortunately I have to do them about once a month. I WILL still be doing videos so be sure to subscribe so you can get ideas or learn a new technique! At this point, after 20 years of stamping that I would get tired of doing it! NOPE! I still get just as excited when I see something pretty that I created. Growing up thinking I didn’t have a creative bone in my body, then I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! and with practice I can now say I AM creative!! WooHoo!! Most important, you will love my PP outside the box alternatives!

Join Besties to get an EVEN BETTER DEAL!!

To emphasize, every month us three (Carol, Hetty and I) come up with 2 cards each using one suite out of the catalog. It’s super funny that, like Chopped on t.v., that all three of us have the same ingredients, but not ONCE have we created something similar to the others! Surprisingly, even I learn something every month! Undeniably, you get to have between $20 – $22 worth of product, all supplies cut for you, a color PDF with step by step instructions. For the reason of helping you, we also put them together on Zoom for you to attend or watch later so if you need personal instruction there it is!! To get even more info click here.

Card 2 was so much fun!!

This is just too stinkin' Cute!!
Inspired by Annette Elias from Netherlands

Can you see how I surprised myself?

Normally when I stamp I get ideas online (which I did with my 2nd card), but seriously the first card really morphed into this beauty, after Many tries! Don’t you LOVE when that happens?! Especially I love how the Designer Series Paper (DSP) looks like it is one piece. Also that the Parakeet Party is STUNNING with the Gold Shimmer Specialty paper is behind it! Of course, I apologize for using the Retired DSP from SAB Ring of Love, but it is so pretty and if anyone purchases $35 before my next video (10/13/22) I will send you the fixin’s for both cards including the DSP!!

A Sweet Deal just got SWEETER!

During the month of October, Stampin’ Up! is having a joining special! Usually the starter kit is perfect just the way it is, but this time they have upped the amount you get to spend!! For $99 you get to pick out $155 worth of product PLUS get catalogs, a paper pumpkin and ordering forms! Of course, you don’t have to sell to anyone else, I played with my friends and bought what I wanted to keep me happy. Laughingly I NEVER thought that I would STILL be playing with the product AND getting a Discount 19 years later! I have got to tell you, joining SU! was the BEST decision I’ve made (other than having kids and marrying my awesome hubby!)

Undoubtedly you would enjoy being a part of my team where we get together monthly and stamp together! We also get prizes and laugh together! If you are interested in Making the most from your investment please don’t hesitate to contact me for more info!

Lastly
