Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Linen Thread Bows & Glue Dots

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten is one of my favorite time saving tricks! 

Make all of the Linen Thread bows you need all at once and then tear off a strip of glue dots. Attach each bow to the Glue Dot and keep them there until you are ready to attach to your paper making project! 

Hope this helps you today! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Pick of the Patch Fun Fold

 

I made these beautiful Fall cards for my *Backstage Swaps using NEW products from the Mini Catalog (available to order after September 5th)! The Designer Series Paper is the true star of these. I was able to make so many different combinations! 

*Backstage is a Stampin' UP! event for Leaders and it was held in Vegas this year. 

This is a Fun Fold because the inside can be pulled out for a note card and it does not open up like a typical card. 

I hope you also love the untraditional pumpkin colors I used: Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock. I used the Pick of the Patch Bundle (stamp set and punch)! 

Here are just some of DSP Combos I made! The possibilities are near endless! 

You can learn how to make this card with my Tutorial by clicking HERE. 

Or, watch my video on YouTube when you click HERE! 

Supplies List coming in September when the Mini Catalog goes live!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Stamp the Backs of Your Cards

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten!

Make the back of your cards "personal" or give them a "personal touch". 

If you made a card, let others know that you made it by adding your name, logo, or initials on the back. I made the cards above to send to my Mother who is currently going through rehab to learn how to walk again after a horrible accident. The people she gives them to will probably never know me and would have had no idea I made these cards if I didn't put my name on the back. Of course, I added the copyright for Stampin' UP! to give credit to the artist who designed the stamp images I used as well. 

You can get a personalize stamp from many locations. Find the best deal and get one created for you or sign the back (like an artist)! Because your cards you make are truly a work of art! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Fun Fold Friday- Crafting With You

 

Fun Fold Friday with the Crafting With You Bundle! This Fun Fold was inspired from a fellow stamper, Phyllis Walker and she learned it from my upline, Melanie Williams. 

If you are crafty in ALL things, paper crafts, sewing, needle point, and painting, this bundle is for YOU! 

Next week I am going to Vegas for a Stampin' UP! event and just know they will LOVE this Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine card. 

It is so much fun because you just pull up the ribbon and pull out the note size card. 

There are so many options for the center piece for this card. Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, the Paper Trimmer, and the sewing machine are just some ideas. 

This little Paper Trimmer is just adorable!!!

I am not the best with the sewing machine, but I do appreciate the talent it takes to sew. I do love the DSP with this image as it reminds me of quilt like fabric pieced together. 

You can make this card too when you use the images below to shop from my online store!
