Spotlight on Tools #4 Clear Mount Stamp Cases

by | Mar 27, 2013 | Uncategorized

Welcome to the fourth installment of my series, “Spotlight on Tools.” This week I am focusing on Stampin’ Up! Clear Mount Stamp Cases (#119105  $5.95 for a package of 4).  These are great for storing stamps that you’ve converted from wood to clear.  I also store my single stamps from the recent promotions in these as well since they do not come in a case.

The Stamp Cases are also perfect for storing Framelits. I used a different designer series paper for each one and slipped it between the “cover” and the actual case.  Because the case is clear, I can see the other side of the paper on the inside.  I bought some magnet sheets from a home improvement store (they are covers for heater registers), cut them down to the size I wanted and placed the magnet on one side of the case using Sticky Strip.  In the last picture you can see that I put the packaging on the left hand side but I only included that with a few of my sets.  I have an electronic label maker and put a label on the end of the case so that I can quickly see the set names.  I am so much happier with this system and it has definitely saved time! 

If you’ve struggled with a way to organize your Framelits, I hope this will work for you!!

Scallop Envelope Easter Basket

by | Mar 26, 2013 | Uncategorized

Today I have a basket that could be used for any occasion.  My Easter basket was made using the Bigz Scallop Envelope die.  Yes, the die is meant to be used as an envelope but when you attach four of them together, you get this cute little basket!!  You can see the actual die below.  I cut out four of them and then trimmed off one of the flaps.  Then I laid them side by side and attached them together with Sticky Strip!  So easy! I also used Sticky Strip on each of the scalloped flaps.  I couldn’t decide whether to leave them up or adhere them but ended up with them flat.

If you have this die, why don’t you pull it out and give it a try?  Or, you can purchase one at my online store by simply clicking HERE.

Thank you for stopping by!

For the Birds

by | Mar 25, 2013 | Uncategorized

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a nice weekend!

Last week I shared several cards that I made using my colored pencils and blender pen.  Here’s one more but I used the stamp set, For the Birds.  I sent this card off to one of my former students, who is now a third grader, to just say hi.  I hope he likes it!

As you can see, I didn’t use the sentiment that came with it.  I used my Kraft Scissors and cut that part off of my stamp.  
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY!!

by | Mar 21, 2013 | Uncategorized

Tomorrow is the last day to receive free items for every $50 that you purchase in Stampin’ Up! products!!!! My card today uses the set Patterned Occasions, one of the free sets that you can choose from!!

Are you wondering how I was able to make my leaves a different color than the rest of the stamped image?  It was very easy.  First,  I stamped the entire image in Rich Razzleberry.  Then I used my blender pen and removed the Rich Razzleberry from the leaves.  Once it was completely off, I used my marker and colored my leaves with Old Olive!  So simple!!
