My Happy Place

My Happy Place

Hey Guys, My Happy Place is where I am taking you today. Of course Stampin’ Up! has come up with a new stamp set and it’s called Happy Hibiscus!  Instead of being a stamp set with dies this set has an Embossing Folder that the dies fit into!  Furthermore it embosses AND cuts all at the same time! I especially love when SU! makes my job easier!  By chance if you want to see how I did this, click here to see my video!

My Happy Place

Besides showing how the dies work with the embossing folder I am also showing you how to make a multi colored sentiment!

Did you know……

Now that I am done showing you My Happy Place, I want to tell you how you can get my PDF’s for FREE!  Mostly I do my videos on Thursdays (next week is Thanksgiving so NO video) and for my videos I offer to send you the pdf with instructions along with pictures at no cost!  Instead of charging you all I ask is that you sign up for my Newsletter, since that is how I send it to you!  Of course I would love it if you had me be your SU! Demonstrator if you live in the U.S. But that’s not why I do it, I love what I do so much that I want to share it!

You TOO can be a discount shopper

After all, isn’t that what we ALL want?  Of course I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you how to maximize your crafting investments!  When you become a Demo you don’t EVER have to sell, but you DO get the Discount!  From the beginning you get  20% off!  Eventually I started doing classes because I was having so much fun learning I wanted to share it with others!

But you don’t have to ever have a class.  Did you know that you have, when you sign up, around 5 months to meet a quota?  And if you don’t you can re-sign up and get the signing bonus again!  SHHHH, that is a little known secret!  At least that is how it is right now. I have countless people who sign up, get the discount and if they don’t make the $300 in that quarter they drop and resign up right away!  It’s much cheaper that way if you don’t want to do classes.  But what I did before I started classes was to invite my friends over to PLAY and we would have so much fun they would want to purchase too! That is what kept me going for years! If you would like to join click here to join my team!

I appreciate you!

As always this is when I tell you how much I love that you come here and visit!  Nonetheless you are here when I’m sure that you could be doing something else!  Overall that makes me intensely happy!  Unquestionably I appreciate you!  Hope you come to a Live at some time!  I give away the cards I make and you could be the one who wins it!  Hope to see you here and On Youtube!

NEW Technique: Spot On!

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a New technique that I discovered that I am calling Spot On! Have you ever wondered what, if anything you should do with your Stampin’ Spots other than take them on the road? This technique is for you! It’s really easy and really packs a punch (which is why I love it!) Want to see it?

Rub the stampin’ spots onto the Folder spritz and that’s why I called this technique Spot On!

Go see my video if you haven’t seen it yet so you can see how to make this! Every card will be different, and you can make it really bold by changing the color of the spot’s you use! This Technique I am calling Spot On! because the name fits! Take your stamping spots and rub on the side of the folder that is indented, being sure to cover the surface with two – three colors (I only used two for all my samples). I spritzed it with an Rubbing Alcohol/Champagne Mist mixture to give it sparkle and to get the color to spread.

Then I put my cardstock in the folder (I used Shimmer White because it is slightly thicker and can handle the wetness without pilling). Heat set it when you get it out (you can spritz once more to get the color to run a bit more)…..once dry, run one of the colors you used over the raised portion from the Folder to pick up the design. EAsy Peasy! If you would like to see other Techniques click here.

Here are two other ideas I used:

Technique Spot On! Using Free as a Bird and Scripty Folder 3D.
