• Quadrangle Cards Technique; a great use of your 6 X 6″ Designer Paper!

  September 4, 2020

  ---

  Check out this great template where you cut a 6 X 6" piece of Designer Paper into 4 pieces for 4 cards.  I also layered it with a 6 1/2" piece of card stock for easy borders!  Look!

  

  I created the above cards with a sheet of the beautiful Plaid Tidings 6" DSP from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle and the two Daisy punches in the annual catalog.  Super easy cards! 

  The colors are Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.  

  Then I used a different sheet of the Plaid Tidings DSP on Facebook Live last week.  I LOVE Black & White with a pop of color so I added Magenta Madness and used the Zany Zebras stamp set seen here.  

  

  Aren't they fun?!  I wasn't sure if I wanted to add any pink to the zebras but I ended up loving it! I colored just a bit on the zebras with the Magenta Madness Blends marker.   

  If you're wondering just where this stamp set is, you can find it in the Beginner's Brochure or click here to see it online. 

  Below is my template for the Designer Paper. 

  

  Next you'll see how you can place the DSP pieces onto a piece of 6 1/2" square piece of card stock and get nice layers. 

  You can see how I did it in the video below.  Remember I host 6 FB Live's a week.  Every Tuesday at 11 am CT and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm.  Check them out here.   Just click on 'more' and then 'videos'. 

  

  Tip: If you have trouble measuring things I suggest that once you have a template for both the Designer Paper and the layered card stock piece you save one to reuse over and over again.

  

  I hope you like these cards!  Be sure to watch the video below to catch the tips & tricks on using this template. 

  

  Here's the FB Live replay for you.  Enjoy!

• Christmas Card classes are starting in September!

  September 3, 2020

  ---

  I know it seems early to start on Christmas cards but I have many people that start them way before this.  I am definitely NOT ready for summer to be over!  I want to hang on as long as I can!

  I hold two Christmas Class sessions per month from September through early December.  I know many of you wonder how I can do this during Covid-19 but my classes are not large so there can be quite a bit of space between people.  And masks are encouraged.  

  Here are my first set of cards for September's classes:

  

  I'm featuring the Snowflake Wishes bundle, the Tree Angle stamp set & Triangle dies, the Evergreen Forest embossing folder & Toille Christmas and lastly the Merry Moose bundle.  

  They'll make 3 of each card with coordinating stamped envelopes for a total of 12 cards per class.  Most people come to all 4 month's of classes and end up with 48 beautiful Christmas cards ready for addressing.  

  

  The class dates are September 12th at 10 am and 16th at 6 pm.  Please RSVP by September 7th to attend.  

  If you cannot attend class locally in Minot, ND you can choose to order the pdf tutorial for these cards.  They're designed for both  crafters and for demonstrators to use in their classes. Check it out here.

• Stamp & Cut Emboss Machine is now available!

  September 2, 2020

  ---

  It's here and available for everyone!  The brand new die-cutting machine that is.  

  I've been using mine and I love it!  They said it would cut dies with one pass through and it really does!  Even intricate dies!  I love the portability of it and how compact it is for storage.  

  

  I'm super excited to get the new Magnetic plate!  Did you know it's super thin, replacing a cutting plate and it's self-healing!?!!  

  

  Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface. Te Magnetic Cutting Plate holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you. It's recommended to use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine but I will try it in my Big Shot and let you know if it works.

  

  Did you know you can get this machine at 10% off?  Just add it to your Starter kit!  It's just $99 and you can add up to $125 in products. This machine costs $120.  Go here to do that.
