Hi All! I have a few samples to share with you today!
This one is a simple one I did using the new vine folder. That Vine Folder is one of the Sale-a-Bration freebies and is a must have, IMO 🙂 Love the Certainly Celery, Raspberry Ripple combo. The coordinating vine stamp is from the freebie SAB set, Madison Ave. The flower is from Mixed Bunch (annual catty) The greeting is in Espresso and called Perfectly Penned from the annual catalog.
Diane Winter made this swap for me using Wisteria Wonder and the SAB freebie set called Bloomin’ Marvelous. She layered it with Old Olive and white, really snappy!
And this last swap I’m sharing is from Kimberly Allen – love the Pacific Blue and Lime and Baja Breeze combo! She used the stamp set from the Spring catalog called Secret Garden.
AND for the Chuckle – I posted this on our Stamping School Facebook page but I know many of you aren’t on Facebook so this is for you!
Why Paper will never be dead in an electronic age….
My good friend Trish has always been a smarty pants and has fantastic ideas. She had this vision to invent ribbon holders and she had a tall wish list. Her husband, Steve, has the invention bug also and together they created the Ribbon Roll Control.
Since SU doesn’t carry ribbon holders anymore (and they didn’t work perfectly anyway, so I gave mine away when they retired) I was the first one on her sign up list to get a set!
Trish isn’t particularly fond of having her picture taken but I forced her…here she is in my stamp room where I have all my ribbon organized in her Ribbon Roll Control holders. We had a blast last week filming her first infomercial and Matt did a great job editing. In case you want to want to watch, here it is:
These organizers are crystal clear acrylic and assemble together with no glue! They aren’t meant to travel from place to place but you hang them on a wall, line them up on shelves or stack them in 3’s. Here is a side view stacked:
I have every roll of ribbon that SU currently has so I needed 5. I bought 6 (2 sets of 3) so I’d have an extra one for the Holiday catalog coming up and some retired ribbon that I use a lot. Right now SU has small rolls so I could have bought just the Petites but I wanted some of the larger Originals in case SU comes out with larger rolls later.
I’m so excited for Trish and Steve and their new adventure! If you want to get a set of these, you can go to www.ribbonrollcontrol.com
or if you just want to give her a cyber cheer and an ‘way to go girl!’ then you can email her at trish@ribbonrollcontrol.com I know it can be scary just starting out a new business but I believe she’s on to something good!
I’m lovin’ it! Sounds like the McD’s jingle but this new tool is cool! I’ve always wanted more than just a triangle piece for scoring diagonal lines. This companion to the Simply Scored Board fits right on top! Has 2 little silicone rectangles to hold it on. It’s larger than a 12×12 sheet of paper so it’s perfect for bigger projects! Scores every 1/8″.
Here’s a quick introduction video:
I realized quickly that I needed templates if I was to strategically create envelopes out of designer paper.
Here’s the video of what I did so I could get this envelope just the way I wanted it:
Want one?
It’s only 11.95! Item number 125586 for the Diagonal board.
If you don’t have the Simply Scored base to put it on, it is 29.95 item # 122334 Comes with double tipped metal stylus (not a plastic bone folder) and 3 place-markers.
Hi Stampers! If you caught the Catty Cruise Blog Tour here last weekend, I showed some projects with Stampin’ Up’s Wood Sheets. One was a basket and I promised a video tutorial. Scroll down to the next post see the Wood Sheets projects and basket if you missed it.
I warn ya – it’s a 10 minute video because there are a few steps to the basket! A labor of love but worth it! Linda
Off to make some swaps for our annual Stampin’ Up convention next week!
