I’m over the top excited for these new THINLITS card dies!  They’ve been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step. 2 sets to choose from, Label (on left below) and Circle, on right:

These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)

Want to see it in action? I’m ordering mine today but SU has a video already for us!

Button Buddies: Tic Tac Button Pack Snail

Jul 27, 2011 | 1 comment

For those just tuning in, I’m posting a series from the stamp set Button Buddies (from the new Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog)  It’s a really  cute and versatile set!  Scroll down to the posts below to see more ideas.  

Here is a fun way to give buttons as a “love ya” or a hostess gift.  I love Tic Tacs so saving the containers and going green is a plus plus for me!  I call them Tic Tac Button Packs and here is a post making one (with a video) 3 years ago .    The snail and flower from Button Buddies was perfect to jazz up the front!

 I used  the new Berry Blossoms DSP (front and back) , Early Espresso Ink, Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder ink.  I stamped the flower 2x , cut out the inner part to glitter and pop up, adding our new polka dot brad.

Video: Acrylic Block Sizing Templates

Jan 17, 2010 | 6 comments

(if viewing from your email, you may need to come to the blog to view videos)

At the beginning of January, I told you about Stampin’ Up’s new option to mount  rubber stamps.   They are not getting rid of the wood blocks but offering another option for those that prefer the space saving solution of clear blocks.  We are not selling clear stamps but rather a clever way to mount the rubber temporarily to a clear block and then remove to store in a slim, DVD type cases.   SU will be offering the new clear mounts and well as wood mounted for all new stamps coming out.

So after having a workshop recently and lugging all 9 clear blocks along so my customers could decide which size works the best for the stamp set they are considering,  I realized I do not want to bring them all with me each time!

All the sizes for the blocks are listed on page 6 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.    I grabbed some clear Window Sheets (or you can use transparencies I guess, as long as they are sturdy) and cut all 9 sizes and wrote the letter with a Sharpie then put them on a key ring.  This way I can take them to events or have them at my classes and customers can just hold them over images in the catalog to help purchase the right size!

See a quick video:


And in case you missed it, here is a quick video for how to put our new rubber stamps on the clear blocks:

Stampbusters Episode 1: Flossing?

Nov 2, 2008 | 10 comments

Have you seen Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel?  Jamie, Adam and a fearless team test myths to see if they are really real or fiction.

Sometimes I read stamping tips and wonder if they really work or not.  I recently read that using Dental Floss will remove pictures that were glued to pages in a photo album.  So I thought I would test it to see if it could take up our stuck on Designer papers and card stocks.  (Doesn’t that just burn your britches when you try to loosen a crooked piece of paper and it ruins your entire project?!)

So, could it be true?  Here are the questions I wanted answers to:

1. Will floss loosen thin designer paper AND leave it dent free and like new to use again?

2.  Will it loosen adhesive that has been stuck on and cured for over a year?

3.  Will it work to loosen all types of adhesives?

Here is the video of my findings:

Unlike the myths they bust on the show, you CAN try these techniques at home!

*7 out of 10 stampers recommend mint flossing your cards daily

Next  time I’ll put blender pen refill recipes to the test! Do they really work as well as a new blender pen or is it a waste of time?
