Hey peeps!

Our Mini Catalog is Live! and Sale-a-Bration is happening!

Ok, I just can't help it. I have a goofy sense of humor, and that immediately made me think of this silly 30 second  commercial...."Iiiit's haappeniiiing!" hahaha!

I've been participating in swaps but sort of wanted to stick with "Fall" for now.

Here's the first swap I did with the Mini.

I used a Baby Wipes Technique to make my own "ink pad" for the leaf/seedling.

I love that technique!!

TIP: I just used a strip of Adhesive Sheet on the top and right edges of the Basic White before running it through the Big Boss, so I didn't have to try putting adhesive on the tiny little edges. :)

Have an amazing day!!

Happy Tuesday!!

Stampin' Up! announced exciting news for our company today!

By the end of the year, they will be opening markets in Belgium and Ireland!

So cool.

It honestly doesn't affect me or my customers or team much.

But it's exciting that Stampin' Up! is doing well and continuing to grow! :)

Stampin' Up! is a wonderful company to represent. ♥

I have a card to share with you that my team member, Nadine Stolt, designed and shared as a make-n-take at our last team meeting.

She made me NEED these dies. ;)

(Like I say, I guess she did her job, right?)

UNFORTUNATELY, these Split Card Textures Dies are non-orderable for supposedly around 3 weeks. :/

But I still loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

I made another version with the new In Color Orchid Oasis.

Ok, one more thing today!

Rice Crispie Treats have become a staple at my Hostess Appreciation Party and now my Retreats.

And they're so awesome, if I do say so myself!

I learned long ago that there's a WAY to make them so they turn out perfectly. :)

And I was supposed to share this recipe with one of my Retreat attendees, so I thought I'd share with you.

Have a spectacular day!!!

Hey Happy Thursday!

I have a few projects to share with you today, but I have a question for you first.

CLUBS

Are you interested in joining a Stampers Club of mine??

It's a fabulous way to meet new people and have fun crafting!

I have one restarting on Tuesday, 9/21, and we need at least one more member!

Have you heard about my clubs?? DETAILS:

• Meet every other month in my home (3rd Tuesday of odd months for this group, so Sept, Nov...)--for a year or as many times as there are members.
• Make 2 projects each time; hostess gets a bonus!
• $25 minimum order requirement each time
• Guaranteed hostess benefits each time; members take turns being the hostess
• Orders are shipped to my home/picked up here, unless you choose to order online with the club host code for the month.
• Automatic invitation to my Annual Hostess Appreciation Party

INTERESTED???

Let me know right away!

I haven't drawn names for hostesses/months yet, but I will soon.

CUTIES

Here are my Cute Halloween (yes, that's the name of the set) closeups from my Live! yesterday.

Here are products used again:

SQUARES

Did you watch my Live! yesterday?

I was in the mood for squares--as you can see by my closeups.

Well, this set All Squared Away/this card we made at one of my recent classes and the blends/alcohol card we made at my team meeting put me in that mood!

How fun and simple is this card?

The [yellow] waves in the middle that looks like DSP?

It's a stamp!

So fun!

I need to play with this bundle more!

TIP:

For the wave of ribbon, I put a few strips of adhesive in the middle (behind where I wanted to attach my stamped layer) and I just zig-zagged my ribbon across the adhesive when I put it down. Then I attached my stamped layer with Dimensionals.

Here's what we used:

All Squared Away Bundle (English) [158382] $45.00	1/4" Bumblebee Gingham Trim [153658] $7.00

I have BASICS I keep in mind for the seemingly difficult task of designing a masculine card.

Since I had a fun class with Geared Up Garage this week, I'll show you those ideas first.

From simple to a little more involved....

NOW, as you read my "basics" of a Masculine Card, see if you can find some of them on the cards I just showed you above.

(When you design, you don't have to take ALL these steps to make your card masculine. Pick and choose what you like or have available. Remember, sometimes less is more!)

My 4 Basics of a Masculine Card

1. STAMP SET--Even if you don't have a set that is specifically masculine, one that involves nature or graphics (shapes, lines or textured background type stamps) works great!
2. COLOR IS EVERYTHING! If you're unsure of a color to choose and don't just want "BLUE", go for anything that is a deep or neutral color. Some of my go to's are Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Night of Navy, Basic Gray--or ANY gray, Crumb Cake--or ANY brown. You could even use Blackberry Bliss with the right stamps/design.
3. METALLICS!! I ALWAYS LOVE a masculine card with some kind of metal--whether it's foil sheets like on my last card or brads or a metal buttons or embellishment. Metallic goes a long way towards a good masculine look.
4. TEXTURE--Choose something simple like stripes or corrugated folders or EVEN just crumple up your cardstock after you do your stamping and flatten it back out again. Rough it up! (Unless you count the gears die cut piece on my last card, I didn't really use this "basic" on any of my cards above. As I said, you don't have to use ALL the ideas. But maybe that's the one that will work for YOU!)

I hope that helped you with any last minute ideas you may need!

Hey--

I've had SO MUCH FUN playing with the SAB Coordination set More Than Words!!

Because I couldn't upload my closeups here after my Facebook Live!, I'm just dropping them all here NOW!

(So frustrating. Dunno what the glitch was, but clearly it seems to be fixed!)

Ok, first, here's a quick "help"--so you don't have to tax your brain trying to coordinate which words go with which SAB sets.

It's just a pic of part of a flyer we had, and I just made my own notes with a "legend" at the bottom:

Here are my samples + a couple I had from other demos using the Story Label Punch.

From Susie Woods & Ruth Bingle:

They BOTH used the Story Label punch, Painted Seasons bundle AND the gorgeous Country Floral embossing folder!

Here's my Live! again, in case you missed it live or the first time I posted it:

Have a spectacular weekend!!!

Every week on Facebook, I try to give a quick little Tip of the Week.

This week I decided to focus on a tool I've been ignoring since July!

This was actually one of the all-attendee giveaways at a general session on the cruise!!

And I'm telling you NOW, you need to BUY the Take Your Pick Tool!!

I just used it on my Facebook Live! this week.

One end has a putty tip--that I didn't think I needed--to help pick up sequins. (I don't use sequins without the adhesive backing.)

BUT THEN I used the putty tip to pick up the tiny little dot of the "i" on my "birthday" thinlit.

AAAHHHH!!! SO helpful!!

I could put it right where I wanted it without big fat fingers in the way! haha

The other end has removeable/reversible tips--something different on each end of 2 tips:

#1:

• a putty knife-type tip that helps scoop up rhinestones, pearls, etc.
• a paper piercing tip on the other end for poking out any extra "chads" from your thinlits

#2:

• 2 different sizes of stylus tips--one on each end

The Tool comes with a putty refill (it squeezes out), and separate refills are available to purchase as well.

Here are links to check it out and/or order:

Take Your Pick [144107] $10.00

Take Your Pick Putty Refill [150006] $3.50

 

 

 

Oh! And here's a video too!

 

Enjoy your day!
