Another Reason To Smile

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Did you get to see my post yesterday?  I just love the Reason To Smile Stamp Set, it's so stinken cute!  I love watercoloring with this set but not to worry if you are not a watercolorer…there are pieces that you can use to "fill in".  This is considered a "two-step" stamp and it takes the work out of it for you.  So here is another card I came up with -

Stamp Set:  Reason to Smile – on sale ONLY this month and it's only $5 see below for details!!

Ink:  Jet Black Stazon Ink; Reinkers Lucky Limeade, Primrose Petals

Cardstock:  Basic Grey, Watercolor Paper and one of my favorite new Designer Series Papers called "Fan Fair"

Accessories:  Aqua Pens, Primrose Petals 3/8" stitched Satin Ribbon (lumcious color)!

 I stamped an extra flower, cut it out and popped it up with Dimensionals.

 One thing I've been doing a lot of lately is decorating the inside of the card.  It really makes it pop!

If you'd like to purchase this set, you need to place a $50 order, then you are eligible to receive it for only $5.  If you place a qualifying online order with me, I will add your name to a special drawing for $50 in Stampin' Up! merchandise.  Click here to access my online store.

Big Shot Class…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Jewelry making meets the stamping world is NOT new but maybe this is to you.  Back in 2010, I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar in Baltimore, Maryland, with my friend Sue Hyer and her team.  While we were there I saw some amazing jewelry that a woman made with soft drink cans (and some not so soft drink cans if you know what I mean) and the Big Shot.  Here is what she was wearing.

This was made with our Beautiful Butterfly Die #114507 and the Stampin' Up! Big Shot #113474. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these.

 This one was made with our Daisies #2 Die #114520 and our Antique Brads #117273. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these. 

You can also click on the Clearance Rack on my Demonstrator Website and we have some awesome embellishments that you will love to add to these pins.  REMEMBER the more you order this month (up until March 31st), you will get free stuff from Sale-a-Bration if you order $50 or more so HURRY!

So for Big Shot class this month we made some of these amazing pins which can also be used on a card or project.

Here are three that I made.  One is made with the Arizona Tea can; one is with the Arnold Palmer can and the yellow one is done with a Country Time Lemonade can.  It's so much fun going to the grocery store (well it's not fun going TO the grocery store but it's fun looking and picking out all different types of cans to make pins with and  with our dies).  Like I said, we made these at Big Shot Class and put felt and pinbacks on them.  Everyone's came out absolutely gorgeous!  I have mine on my Spring jacket.

Oh yes….I added some tule and I think feathers might be added now that I look at it. 

The possibilities are endless.

OH and guess what….one of my Saratoga Continuing Ed class members (who follows my blog) BROUGHT ME A FRESCA!!!!  They really DO make it!!!!  Thank you Janet!!!!  mmmmmmm it tastes just like I thought it would! 

So then we got talking about other things that "used" to be around. 

Do you remember Jiffy Pop? 

Fizzies (oh how I loved Fizzies)? 

Tab? 

S & H Green Stamps? 

How about Double Mint Gum (and their commercials)?  and what about

Teaberry Gum and …..

BLACKJACK Gum?!!!!  Did you ever eat BlackJack Gum and stick it to one of your front teeth so that it looked like you were missing a tooth….Oh my gosh, I'm cracking myself up! 

We had so much fun at all my Continuing Ed classes, we all laughed about these things WHILE stamping! 

Hope you enjoyed my post.  Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back.  Remember if you want to put in an order before Sale-A-Bration is over (Sale-a-Bration ends March 31st), just go to my website and get all that you want/need and you will get FREE Sale-a-Bration rewards for each $50 you spend.  YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ORDER IN NO LATER THAN MARCH 31st.  So hurry, make your list, check it twice then hit ENTER!!!!  :0)  Have a great day.

Tip on new Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies

Hidy Ho stampers,

So have you seen the new Occasions Mini Catalog?  I just love the Mini Catalog program.  I was so ready to be over the Holidays and all the trimmings and now I'm onto beautiful cards and snowmen!  :0)  I love my snowmen. 

So here is another tip I have for you…it has to do with the new Edgelits Adorning Accents Dies.  These very thin and very fragile metal dies are the exact same width as our Standard Cutting Pads which makes it a little tricky when running them through the Big Shot.  BUT NOT TO WORRY…I have the solution for you.

Here is what the die looks like – the very thin silver piece. The die is #125595 and can be found on page 7 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. 

If you lay these on your cutting pads, they are very likely to move so I'm going to suggest this tip.  Purchase two extra sets of the Standard Cutting Pads #113475 that will be dedicated to ONLY these two dies.  It is going to save you LOTS of time and and you won't get frustrated with them but even more important, you won't end up BENDING them. 

1.  Take one of the dies and put a row of sticky strip on the "flat" side of the die.  Line it up and stick it to the bottom of one of the new cutting pads.  It is now permanently adhered to this pad.  The side with the "edge" or cutter is now sticking up.  That one is done.

2.  Do the same thing to this one.  Now you've used two of your cutting pads.  These are permanently adhered to these two pads.

3.  This is pad # 3.   What you are going to do with this one is add a piece of our grid paper to the back.  I cut a piece of grid paper the size of the clear pad (make sure you have it EVEN on both sides – meaning the lines are the same on one side as the other).  This is going to be used as a guide for your cardstock.  THEN, what I did so the paper didn't get worn, I cut a piece of our Window Sheets  (these can be found on page 216 of the big catalog) I cut these the same size as the clear pad also and put that over the grid paper to preserve it.  Both of these were put on the back of the pad with Sticky Strip.  Now you have three pads that are dedicated to these dies.  Read on to learn how to use them…

4.  In this picture, I'm placing the card on the "grid pad" with the grid on the bottom of the pad and the clear plastic on the top.  Do you see that the card is even on both sides.  That is very important.  If you don't make it even on both sides, the curves on the left will not match the curves on the right.  I did put a little dotto on the back of the card to hold it in place while I cut.  Then I used my Adhesive Remover to get that little bit of sticky off the card when I was done.  Okay, we've got our dies all glued on, we got our grid pad all set and our paper is glued to the top of the grid pad.  Now what?

5.  For your layers, you are going to put your Multi Purpose Platform down (close the whole thing so that tab 2 is on top), then your pad that has the grid sheet (with the plastic side up and the grid on the bottom), then you line up your cardstock (here I used Blushing Bride), then you put your cutting pad on where you want it.  That's one of the beauties for this set up, you can place that cutting edge anywhere on the paper.  I've placed it pretty far up on this one but it can be right along the bottom edge – it's totally up to you.  It's that easy.  Run it through the Big Shot.

6.  Now to store the pads and dies.  This is another amazing feature.  Put the two pads with the dies on them together so that the dies are on opposite ends.  Then put the grid pad on the bottom.  Take two rubber bands and put one on the top and one on the bottom and store with your other dies.  AND, you now have the empty plastic envelope that the dies came in so you can store the three coordinating Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders in.  I love it when things work out!

Isn't this card just beautiful? Do you see the scallop on the bottom? That is one of two dies you get when you purchase this amazing new die for the Big Shot and it was so easy with the "permanent mounted dies".  If you have ANY questions, just post to my blog.  I'd love to have you leave me a comment and get a discussion going on these amazing new products. 

Now for my Special.  If you place a $75 on-line order from my website during the month of January, I will give you this online class free.  Remember if you wait until January 24th, you will also get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration set free.  It will have all the directions and measurements for five of these cards (and if you think these two are pretty, wait until you see the other three).  These are only two of the cards included in this very elegant class. If you would rather I put the order in, just email me and I will put it in for you.

Thank you for stopping by.
