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!

Use your DSP!

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:

You get a tray that grips and a glass mat!

Of course, the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio is a paper crafter’s dream! The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. Because, the safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. Moreover, the reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! 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. Also, each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.

The Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio includes:

GLASS MAT
* 5 mm thick
* 17″ x 14″ (43.2 x 35.6 cm)
* Safety-tempered
* Heat and scratch resistant
* Wipes clean with water or alcohol

SILICONE MAT
* 8-3/8″ x 6″ (21.3 x 15.2 cm)
* Multiuse, nonslip
* Waterproof, heat resistant
* 4 palette squares for custom-color mixing or holding Stampin’ Spots
* Product color: white

CLEANING CLOTH
* 8-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ (21 x 21 cm)
* Durable, reusable
* Lint free
* Cleans stamps and other surfaces with only water
* Product color: dark gray

Moreover, if you want to join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-A-Bration but are interested in a different join option you can instead get $125 USD worth of product PLUS an additional $30 USD worth of product of their choice when you join for $99 USD . Of course, that’s a $155 USD value!  Basically to join my team you get a choice, click here to join The Tedder Bears!!

Thank you so much!

After all, I appreciate you and want you to know! However, following all that above I don’t want you to think I don’t value you! Basically if you weren’t here I wouldn’t be doing what I do! Of course, I LOVE stamping, but I want to share with others my passion! Especially when you come here and read this and when you join my YouTube Live’s! Of course it allows me to see that you like what you are seeing! Thank you for allowing me to show you how to Use Your DSP!

First off, I wanted to tell you that I also used, along with the Donkey, the dies from the Bundle Ride the Range. I will be using this bundle for my next YouTube Live on Thursday January 14th! I hope you can join me. Also, I used some Free Designer Series Paper that comes in the Sale-a-Bration catalog as a bundle itself called Berry Blessings Stamp set + Berry Delightful Stamp set.

Then place on trimmer Landscape and you will SCORE only on the outside edge (between the cut and edge), score on 1″, 5″, 7″ & 11″. Keep in Landscape and score ALL THE WAY across on 2″, 4″ 8″ & 10″.

Inside flap gets folded mountain, valley, valley, mountain.

Also, you will get the Rhinestones and I will pre cut/score for the main card and die cut the circle for the gift card! The one thing I can not do is stamp anything.

BUT the great thing is it’s Sale-a-Bration now and you can get MORE than you would normally! Spend $50 and you can pick out that CUTE Darling Donkey set for FREE!

I just realized putting this on, that the other card is where I got the idea for one of my other cards! Sorry Becca that I didn’t give you credit for that one!

Here is my card for today:

I used the Crinkled Seam Binding for the bow, but I colored it first with a Poppy Parade Blend! Isn’t it pretty?! You can’t see it on this picture, but I used Wink of Stella on the flowers and WOW, that makes it really pop in person!

When I am looking at other’s blogs, I always want to know the measurements and everything that is included to make that card. So, in honor of me, here are the specifics to this card:

Stamps:
Painted Poppies
Peaceful Moments

Inks:
Memento Black
Blends: Poppy Parade Dark, Mossy Meadow combo, Crumb Cake light
Crumb Cake (for sponging)

Brand NEW Stamp set Sailing Home

Hey Guys!,

I LOVE when the new CAtalog comes out by Stampin’ Up!!  I was drawn to the set Sailing Home as soon as I saw it!  If I had my way, I would go visit every Lighthouse!  Since I can’t do that I will stick to making cards using them!

Here is a card I did NOT CASE, I came up with it!  Hope you like it!  Here it is:

I did a video showing how I made this card, you can find it here.   I made my own cloud template and am offering it to those who order from me!  This uses a LOT of new goodies!  Sailing Home comes in a Bundle (which if you buy you will get 10% off!!).  The rope knot is a die, the die the Thanks is stamped on is included, plus the sailboat is cut out with a die.  There IS a die for the Lighthouse but I stamped and masked it.  Go check out the video to see how I got the texture on the sand.

Here are the specifics for this card:

PROJECT 1: Lighthouse
Stamp Sets Pg #
Sailing home Bundle
Paper
Seaside Spray 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Pretty Peacock 5 1/4″ x 4″
White 5″ x 3 3/4″, scrap for sailboat and sentiment
Inks
Crumb Cake
Soft Suede
Pretty Peacock
Balmy Blue
Memento
Accessories
Big Shot
Wink of Stella
Dimensionals
window sheets for clouds

I hope you like my card!  I always get so excited when I make something without CASE’ing it.  I know the reason I don’t do it more often is that I am swamped with classes and don’t have the time.  The nice thing is that YOU don’t have to come up with anything either.  There are so many ways to get ideas that we don’t NEED to try and do it alone.

Below are the supplies used for this card in picture form, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store!  If you purchase from me OnLine, you can get the cloud template that I used for this card for a thank you!  Or you can pick a card you like, I will add a little something from my favorites to send you also!  It’s like a Grab Bag!!  🙂

Thank you for stopping by!

Rooted in Nature beach scene

Hey Guys!

I love my Job!  I get to make beautiful handmade cards AND show others how to do it! After my classes everyone is so happy with what they have made!

I got this idea from Cindy Elam, I found it on Pinterest and changed up a little, here is her card:

I LOVE layers, I wanted to add to this beautiful card.  Here is what I came up with:

Here are the specifics for this card:

Beautiful You is Flying High

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing with you a card I found on Pinterest and I CASE’d it.  I can’t find it to show you, if you have seen it and know where I got this idea I would love if you would let me know.

Here is my card:

I masked the Lady after stamping her, then sponged the sky and stamped the trees.  I then colored her, this makes it look like she is in front of the trees.  The balloons were punched out with the balloon punch using Vellum which I then sponged with the color I wanted.  I put the white line in the balloon with the Chalk Marker, I placed a glue dot behind this chalk line to attach.  You can’t see it!  Of course I put another glue dot behind the black line for the ‘string’.  It’s a challenge to find spots to put your adhesive with Vellum because you don’t want it to be seen.

This was a really fun card, and my class loved it!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp Sets
Beautiful You
Sheltering Tree
Colorful Seasons
Paper
Highland Heather 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Whisper White 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)
Vellum
Inks
Highland heather
Memento
Balmy Blue
Blends: Balmy Blue, Ivory
Black marker
Accessories
Glue dots
Chalk marker
Balloon Bouquet punch

Below are pictures showing these supplies, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store.  If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love if you would choose me to help you with your creative needs!

I send those who order OnLine a small gift to say thank you.  If you’ve been following my blog you know that I offer a LOT of different goodies!
