Ruching Ribbons and Iris Folding Videos

H Stampers!  We had our monthly get together of my Stampin’ Up downline last Sunday.  It’s always a bunch of fun, lots of stamping and sharing going on. I always have my video camera set up to project our demonstrations up on a big screen so everyone see.   This past week, Jackie and Emily jumped in with a few fun demos and I hit the record button!  Both were great and thought I’d share with all of you, too.

Here are 2 of the videos, shot “LIVE and unrehearsed” from the meeting:

In the first segment, Emily Turner takes the mystery of ruching ribbon.  Then she shows a card she made using the scallop edge punch and felt flowers. My picture didn’t come out very well in the light at our facility, but it is Pink Pirouette, Baja and Chocolate.

And here is the video:

Jackie Walker Shows how to make this holiday card using the Iris Folding Technique.  She got the template from Page 7 of our June 2008 Stampin’ Success Magazine.  If you aren’t a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator, ask your demonstrator for the pattern.  As a last resort, you can get some free patterns at Squidoo.

And here is the VIDEO:

Have a GREAT stampin’ week!

Yup, we all have ’em.  Lots and lots of receipts.  I was at the local drug store and not only did they give me a receipt that was 9 inches long for one item, they also printed out 2 extra receipts of coupons I for things I didn’t (and wouldn’t) purchase later!

I’m on week 3 of stamping green and I have been paying attention to ways to save resources and re-purpose.  Yesterday I was cleaning out my purse and I pulled out a huge clump of receipts from my travels around Orlando.   Of course some I need to save for business deductions or returns but most of them go right into the trash.

Here is this week’s GREEN stamping video and my small way to use them for good!

See you next Sunday!
