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

Products Discussed In Some Classes:

·        New Ideas: 

·         Use a piece of computer paper the size you need when placing squares onto a 9 patch pattern.

Use reverse tweezers to hold ribbon so you can tie a knot or bow.

·        Make some Notecards with envelopes to have on hand in case you need a small gift to make someone’s day.  Note Cards and envelopes come 20 to a pack for $10. A set of 4 cards and envelopes costs $2.00.  You could make several sets at a time and have these small gifts ready  to surprise someone with.

These are great for senior citizens especially if you add stamps! It's a simple way to bless someone and make their day.

Cards made with Regal Flora Stamp set.



·        Use a pair of tweezers in the center of a flower petal and twist away from you. Do this to each petal. This will give your flowers more texture.



·        Samples of uses for Keeping Tabs stamps/punch  and gift card/cash giving
