It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that you could use the heat tool to help nuts and bolts release? Blast the stuck part with the heat tool for about two minutes (don’t touch) and then unscrew. The heat will allow the bolt to be broken free much easier.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! When creating a zig zag card make sure your scores are going the opposite direction. So when you score the second line flip the card stock over first. That way you can bend the card stock opposite without cracking. By folding it opposite this will create the zig zag.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! I am resting today by getting ahead. I have a few messes to clean up since I haven’t been home much. Between classes, life, and looking for a new truck it’s been a little hectic this week. I do find that if I procrastinate then I get a bit anxious and don’t rest well. The only solution I have found for this is to do the work. Sometimes I re-prioritize and sometimes I just knuckle down and get it done.
Today is one of those days for me where I will need to get it done. For today grocery shopping, re-organizing my budget, cleaning the studio, laundry, cleaning, and creating a bunch is on my list. Thankfully it is a short week for school with the Presidents’ Day holiday coming up. So what’s on your list for today?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sale Saturday! Are you bored with what we have to offer for Sale-A-Bration? Do you wish some of our stamps that are offered have die cuts? You’re in luck! In the second release for Sale-A-Bration there are many coordinating products for the first release.
So here’s how to get a copy of this new brochure…if you have ordered or are hosting with me during Sale-A-Bration you are already on the list. I will coordinate with you for delivery. If you have not ordered with me since January 2019 then please contact me.
Happy Crafting! (and coordinating)

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I was reminded by a quote that said…”Repetitive complaining will attract things for you to complain about. Repeated gratitude will attract things for you to be thankful about.”
I can bring all these great events and places to volunteer, but if there is not the right attitude in me it is for naught. So for today I will not be talking about Bingo or Quilts or anything else. Today I will remind each of us, including myself, to be kind. To really focus on being kind.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Watch as I create a card with a spinning ape. You will want to cut a piece of card stock for a card base and score in the middle. Then you will cut mats of the same color that are light enough to stamp on at 5 1/4″ X 4″ and 5″ X 3 3/4″. The smaller mat you will cut with two circles. Make sure there is a 3/8″ gap between the center circle and the cut out so the pennies can slide in the gap. Stamp as wanted.
For the slider portion you will use two pennies and two dimensionals and create a sandwich. This will slide in to create your spinner portion.
For further instruction please watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsn8fwdx0do.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that certain products from the Holiday Catalog have been carried over? Even though you are done with the Christmas holiday Stampin’ Up! is not. So start your Christmas cards early and get them done this year.
Here’s the link to the carry over list…https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/products/10120/holiday-favorites.
So let me know what you would like for Christmas…2019. Remember that there are a few products in the Annual Catalog also for the holiday season.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to talk to you about the Rectangle Stitched Framelit Dies. When you put them in the Big Shot straight across they make a big clunky noise as they roll through the machine. Instead place them at an angle so they go through smoother and also tend to not bend as much.
If you do forget they will just clunk a bit. If they bend just run through at an angle to straighten them back out.
Happy Crafting!
