Hi stampers!  Today’s video really features 3 tools as I show how I make my card bases for all of my cards.  I also share a few helpful tips on mass producing, as well as the 2 main ways to cut your card stock for an A2 card.  Enjoy!!!

 

Hi there!!!  Today a video on how I’ve been using my wheels for the past 6 months or so!  I use them way more often than I did when they were in the regular wheel form.  I just never could get them to ink up evenly or roll in a straight line.  The other nice thing is that you don’t need the two different handles and the builder wheel spindle & spacers.  The one thing you do need is the Clear-Mount Cling Foam (124236).  It costs $10.95 for two 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheets (one side cling & one side adhesive).  You’d pay $13.85 for the standard handle, jumbo handle and builder wheel spindle & spacers so it is really about the same price depending on your preference.

Enjoy!!!  I LOVE the wheels so choose how you want to stamp with them and head on over to my online store and get some to try today!!!

Hi stampers!  Today I’m bringing you a video where I’ve created a card from start to finish.  I will do this from time to time (not on a certain day every week like Quick Tip Tuesday) and I’m hoping you enjoy them!!!  I LOVE this card – it is not my original design but someone fabulous from the Stampin’ Up! Home Office as this was one of our Leadership Make and Takes this past January.  Lots of great products used here – including the Mixed Bunch Stamp set and Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  REMEMBER:  The Occasions Mini Catalog ends on April 30, 2012!  Only 2 more days!  Also I should mention that the original card (you’ll see it at the beginning of the video on the handout we were given with our Make and Take supplies) had a sentiment on a little flagged piece that was tucked in behind the button.  Super cute!  I was just waiting to see what I’d want to use it for before adding that.

Also, I want to apologize because the video is a little strange.  Some of it had to be dubbed over because something went kaflooey with my audio on the video.  I also am sorry that I’ve been MIA this week.  My hubby and I got back from Florida earlier this week and got sick!  🙁  But I’m better now and planning to bring you lots of great stuff next week!!!

Hi stampers!  Today I’m bringing you a video with a GREAT way to use up all those scraps of designer series paper you have laying around!  I recently learned the herringbone technique and have enjoyed using it on a couple of cards since then.  I’ll show you another one next week that uses product from the Occasions Mini Catalog – today’s uses Sale-A-Bration products (SAB ends in just 2 days!!!)  The video is pretty long so I’ll let you get straight to it!  I’ll post a photo of the project as well as the full supply list below the video!  I’ve turned comments back onto my blog so please comment!  Have a wonderful day!!!

 

Today’s Tool Time Thursday features the Color Spritzer Tool – a quick and easy way to add some dimension to your cards!  All you need is a marker (only $3.50 per marker) and the Color Spritzer Tool (107066 – only $12.95)!  Also remember that you can buy the markers by collection or the entire marker set as well – I’ll list the prices and item numbers below the video with links to my Online Store!  I know it is pricey to buy all the markers at once, but if you can swing it now, you can get 2 FREE SAB items with it until March 31, 2012.  I bought mine when I joined Stampin’ Up! over 4 years ago now and they are still working GREAT!!! 🙂

I’m starting a new feature here on the blog – Quick Tip Tuesday!  Just what it sounds like, every Tuesday I will bring you a blog post or video with a quick tip that will help you with creating and stamping!  Today I have a video for you on How to Mount Clear-Mount stamps, as well as a couple of basic stamping tips.  I found this way of mounting them (not the way SU! tells you to mount them) from another demonstrator and LOVE it!  I have much better success with my clear stamps clinging to the acrylic blocks for a longer period of time with this method!  Hope it helps you too!

Please let me know if you have any questions or have any other how-to video ideas you’d like to see me make!
