Did you know that our Designer Series Paper, Cardstock, or Specialty Paper can be used for much more than just cards? It can also be used with the envelope punch board to create boxes, bags, tags, cards, and more! It’s limited to your imagination. If you need help designing something outside of your box please let me know. That’s what I am here for.
Happy Crafting!

Have you had any luck with the eclipse card? Does it blend a little too much? Then take a cut out of the base mat as well to get a little more depth. Here’s a link to the full instructions, https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/twotiereclipse/.
If you try this card please post pictures to the Facebook page.

It’s Monday again! It’s time to start planning the weekend again. 🙂
In Stampin’ Up! world there is not a ton going on since I will be out of town on Saturday for a wedding. This is my week to create and catch up. There is a whole lot going on this weekend locally. This is Pioneer Days weekend!
On Friday night Joel will be playing from 6:45-7:15 followed by the Buck & Boe show. I know Joel is good but I’ve also heard the other guys are something to see. Saturday there are plenty of events and Sunday winds it all up. For a list of events check out the local Chamber of Commerce’s website or facebook page.

Since I don’t seem to be getting very many days off I will not be writing about rest much. Instead today I will be focused on a porch. Imagine sitting in a swing on the porch watching the world go by as the breeze gently nudges you while you sip your tea. All right, I know…this is not the world I live in nor do I choose to. But I can dream, can’t I?
So today I will be sitting under an awning at the 29 Palms Art Gallery (kind of like a porch) and participating in a craft fair until 2:00 pm.
It is a gorgeous day so come stroll and enjoy the day with me. I will have papercrafts for sale, a $25 gift certificate for a raffle prize, and vouchers.
If you stay in your craft room instead please don’t forget to post pictures of your creations to the Facebook page.
Happy Crafting!

Since today is the day I focus to give back or pay it forward I want to share where my efforts will be going today. One of our own, Kate, had surgery this week and I would like to lift her up. I will be mailing at least one card to her shortly. If you would like to send her a card please drop or mail to me and write on the back of the envelope “Kate”. I will put your card in the package I am sending mid next week and get everything to her.
Thank you for giving back in whatever way you have chosen. Together our ripples can make an impact.
Happy Crafting!

P.S. If you have cards for Vegas I will be mailing those on Monday.
Today’s technique is brilliant, quite literally. You take the negative space of the die to create a frame. Instead of worrying about the stickiness that is left behind you place the cutouts to create an inlaid effect.
The link for the video is https://youtu.be/ajVnCPs4xbU if you would like to see this card being created.
Here a couple of tips for you. First, have a good pair of tweezers handy. Second, if you do get adhesive residue on the foil paper take a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and gently wipe the glue off. Third, if you are concerned about marks on the foil paper you might want to have a newer set of cutting pads on hand.
Happy Crafting!

Did you know that the scraps from your die of your Big Shot can become a new creation? Take the Birthday Thinlits…the scrap from the top of the die becomes an antler for a reindeer. Remember to look at things upside down and sideways.
Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Not all boxes are square. They are usually not a sphere but they can be many different shapes. Today’s box or container is a triangle. This box is especially sturdy considering it is all cardstock. Give it a try.

There was a lot of activities this weekend and I feel a bit run over. Football game, homecoming, two day craft fair, three concerts,… So I am doing a bit of cleaning today. I will still have drop in times but just know that I am not my usual tidy self.
Here is what this week looks like. Card class is this week. Thanks to all that rsvp’ed. I will see you shortly.
On the 28th we will have our last Christmas Stamp-A-Stack. 16 cards and lunch! Invitations will be out some time this week.
I think that’s about all I can handle. How are you doing?
If you would like to order online please use host code 7B4MVN6M. If you prefer in person please contact me, especially if you have a free shipping voucher or gift certificate.
Happy Crafting!
