3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

  • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
  • standard card sizes and layers
  • which ink to use when coloring with markers

First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

Standard card measurements

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

Which ink to use for coloring

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

  • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

  1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
  2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
  3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

*I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

  • New Catalog Party Displays!

    It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

    Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

    Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

    I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

    I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

    Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

    The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

    One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

    Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

    Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
    You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

    I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

  • New Catalog card swaps video

    On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

    I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
    I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

    I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

    Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

    In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.

  • 12 Days of Crafting PDF is ready!

    I don’t know why I put it off because I truly enjoyed playing and creating with my 12 Days of Crafting kit.

    It became available a few months back and there are still some left! See it here.

    I couldn’t share the projects until after Christmas because some people did open it as an advent kit and did not want any sneak peeks. But it’s ready now and I can finally share the projects!

    This incredible crafting kit is filled with tons of never before seen products like 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, multiple pre-cut pieces, new DSP, embellishments, twine & so much more.
    I used a few inks along with the products in the kit to create 12 pretty cards. The PDF tutorial is free to anyone who purchases the kit from me (and my Team of course).

    The PDF is available on my Tutorial Shop here for $16.
