Links to products are in bold print.

Stampin’ Up now has a blog full of great information and ideas. Here is the link.

 

Products Discussed In Some Classes:

 

New or Revisited Ideas:

  Card 1- This can be used as a sketch to make other cards  using different stamps and papers.

Card 2-Rubber band technique-directions are with the card.

Card 2-If you add colored ink on the same paper as heat embossing, turn your paper over to blot the ink onto your desk paper. The colored ink won't soak into the embossed areas.

Card 3-This card can be made with different sizes of paper. It can also be made where the designer paper is the same pattern for all of the pieces.

Card 4-This card brings so many color combinations you could try. See what colors you think look good together. The video will give you a lot of good ideas of combinations to start with.

Card 4-Some people used  the ink pad to color their ribbon to match their card. Just hold the ribbon and pull the ink pad over it.

Card 4-Punch two shapes in different colors. Cut one in half and place it behind the other so it looks like a larger shape behind your sentiment.

We now have opportunities to donate cards to three different facilities

Stamping Opportunities:

●     1. Southwest General Hospital -Cards are placed on meal trays. 

(No envelope is needed. Stamp something on the inside please.)

* NEW-Cut down on the number of Get Well cards. 

Instead try these: you're in my thoughts,   I've been thinking about you,     I'm sending you positive thoughts, Thinking of You, Hang in there.  They still can use Baby and Holiday cards.

2. Broadview Multi-Care Facility- Cards for residents and staff to use.

(Envelopes needed and stamp something on the inside please.)

Birthday for adults and kids, Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of you, Holiday
