I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
Here is one of the cards from my last card class. I used the Botanical Expressions die along with the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. I love the sheet that is a mixture of colors for behind the die cut.
A tip for using the die because it both embossed and cut the cardstock, place some waxed paper on top of the cardstock before placing the die on top of it. It really helps to get the die off cleanly without ripping the cardstock.
Here is the inside of the card with a piece of coordinating Petal Pink on the inside. And I love the backside of the DSP is a simple pattern, so it easily and simply adds another dimension to the card.

One of the perks from being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I get to pre-order items before customers are able to purchase. That way, I get to try new items out, make samples to show what is possible with the new craft items.
I am excited to show you how I organize my new bundles when I receive them in my pre-order.
First, I stamp the stamp set all together after removing the thinner piece of plastic with black ink. Then, I used Tear & Tape to tape the plastic over the stamp images.
Then, I place Tear & Tape the other plastic sheet, the thicker one. I close the paper back in half and TAH-DAH!! it is now safely and securely in the paper.
Another thing I do is tuck in the flap of the plastic envelope so I can easily remove the stamp set. I repeat that for the dies and remove the dies from the double stick tape and onto a magnet sheet. I purchase the 8" x 10" Adhesive Magnetic sheets JH Best Crafts from Amazon.
This is what it looks like after I stamp the stamp set and tape the plastic down and how the dies look on the magnet sheet.
Here is the full video where I stamp them for the first time.
