It’s so sparkly in person!


In the video I said I needed to find a bird! I found one in the Curvy bundle!



I popped up the black trees and now they look blurry!  But it’s just an illusion

Here are a few more ideas from the home office:

The bunny is from the Nature’s Beauty on page 53


Clever the way the artist used the foliage as flowers on this one!

Video: The Basics: How to Start making your own cards

I’ve met several brand new stampers lately and it’s so fun to see the excitement of making cards for the first time.
Just starting out there are so many questions like how do I cut the cards? Where do I start?
There’s so many options to choose and it can be overwhelming.

So today I’m doing a quick refresher on how to cut, score and stamp a pretty card!

Many of you are already seasoned stampers but if you know someone who is
just starting out making their own cards, share it!

Thinlit Tips Video & Samples

I’ve had quite a few of you purchase one or both of these Stampin’ Up flip card Dies so I thought I’m make a tip video for how to add layers as well as extend the card to create a flap and writing area. (I’m not sure who came up with that original idea to add the flap but well done!)

If you are viewing from your email, click HERE to see video on my blog.

I received many great swaps using the new thinlits and as promised in the video, here are a few of my favorites!

imageimage

This cute little guy was a swap created by Jill Hilliard. The reindeer is from the SU Holiday catalog called Color Me Christmas

imageimage

This pretty snowflake card was created by April Lopez.  The scallop comes with the circle card thinlits and April used it with SU Silver Foil Sheets.

imageimage

I wish there was a name written on the back, maybe Iina Lee? I think it had a cello envelope with her label on it, which is long gone!

I love getting a swap every year from Georgia Giguere, who puts her family photo inside! Use the Sizzix Circle framelits and the magnetic platform to make easy circles!

imageimage

Everyone loves this cute owl punch card by Linda Gutierrez!

imageimage

Sandy Hancock made this one and I love how she used the SU Stripes embossing folder on one side of the flip card.

imageimage

Here is the extended version of the flip card I showed in the video. It’s by Sue Kempter-Miller.
