It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I’ve talked about going to get lunch, volunteering, sharing a smile, and much, much more. I want to remind you that sometimes being a friend is as simple as taking a minute and lending an ear. I have hadContinue reading “You’ve got a friend.”

Let the dies do the talking.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am letting the dies do the talking. Sometimes there is a die that needs to stand on its own. Here is the card and instructions will follow. Cut thick whisper white card stock at 5 1/2″ on 11″ side. Score at 4 1/4″ on 8 1/2″ side. Cut rich razzleberryContinue reading “Let the dies do the talking.”
An easy way to lick ’em and stick ’em.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! If you are finishing up your Christmas cards then you are probably trying to figure out how to not lick all those envelopes. Protect your tongue from paper cuts. And I bet you’ve tried a sponge to wet that glueContinue reading “An easy way to lick ’em and stick ’em.”
How to emboss on vellum.
It’s Technique Tuesday! It is not impossible to emboss on vellum, but you do have to be careful. You might be tempted to use the low setting on your heat tool and instead you need to use the high. The low will not melt the crystals properly. Instead use the high setting and keep movingContinue reading “How to emboss on vellum.”

Taking a breath.
It’s Sabbath Sunday! I am taking a breath and getting some things caught up today. My house looks like I have done six events this week. So I will take out the trash, do some dusting, and probably even vacuum some. Then I will get to create and get some long-awaited thank you notes out. Continue reading “Taking a breath.”

Giving back locally.
It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. It has been brought to my attention that one of our local places that gives so much back during Christmas (and the rest of the year too) has been hit hard with some changes recently. Food For Life isContinue reading “Giving back locally.”
Quilting with paper.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Since last night’s Live was about the sale and I didn’t create, I made something new this morning. I “quilted” a card for you. I used the Tailored Punch, Cookie Cutter Stamp Set with punch, and the Classic Label Punch. Pick any Christmas paper (here I used the Dashing Along Designer SeriesContinue reading “Quilting with paper.”
Tons of Discounts!
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Instead of a single product today I figured we would focus on a bunch. I think Stampin’ Up! may have lost its mind since there are three full pages of discounts for this year-end closeout. I know we normally don’tContinue reading “Tons of Discounts!”
