As promised, here's the video tutorial on how to create the easy Glimmer 3D heart from the inside of the "Things I Love" card. Again, if you're viewing the blog post in an email or in a reader, the video link may not appear, so please come to www.yamstamps.com or the yamstamps youtube channel. Thanks for watching!!
It finally finished uploading! Here's the video of my recent appearance on CH Morning Live. Just when I think I've figured out the timing for the segments, I'm proved wrong (yet again! LOL). Anyway, I will also be uploading a tutorial video in the next day or so showing how to create the 3D heart that I had also planned on showing on air! If you're reading this blog post in email or a reader, please come to www.yamstamps.com directly or to the yamstamps youtube channel. Thanks!
Here's a video showing Stampin' Up!'s letterpress dies for the Big Shot. (I'm not sure that it always works if you're reading this by email/reader, so if not – click here to come to the blog post)
I got my issue of Creating Keepsakes in the mail today. One of my favourite features is the section where they show a crafter's scrapbooking/craft room. I always drool over these pages….anyway, the latest issue features the craft room of Stampin' Up!'s CEO/co-founder, Shelli Gardner!
Meanwhile, in my much smaller, much messier craft room, I'm finalizing prep for my upcoming workshops and Christmas Card Clinics. There's still space in my November card class (featuring Christmas cards), and in many of the Card Clinic dates. Please see my event page for dates and details, or contact me for more information! Hope to see you soon!
Here's a video on a technique that you can use in your crafting! It features items you receive in your Stampin' Up! demonstrator starter kit. This video is one of those great tools that is provided to help new demonstrators get their business off to a solid start. If you'd like to learn more about having your own home-based business, please RSVP for my Information Night – the next one is on Wednesday, October 13th at 7pm.
I'm getting ready for Saturday's Silent Auction at Sam's Day (oh and bowling, too) – in the meantime, here's a video on Window Sheets for your viewing pleasure. They're available in the Occasions mini catalogue and I have my fingers crossed that they'll appear in the "regular" big Idea Book & Catalogue coming out on July 1st. (Have you reserved your copy with me yet? If not – click here to do so!!)
You can purchase the Window Sheets on my Stampin' Up! website with the following item numbers:
These are two of the snowflakes from Stampin' Up!'s die cut chipboard set On Board Something Seasonal. They're made of high quality acid-free chipboard and are very easy to pop out of the board. I was trying to decide which method to use to decorate the chipboard for the next Scrappers Club. So here's the "naked" chipboard.
Here are the decorated snowflakes. I used white craft ink on both of them. I placed the snowflakes face down into the craft ink pad to coat them to get good coverage. Then, I used iridescent ice embossing powder (EP) on the left snowflake – coated with the powder & heated until it melted. The snowflake on the right was coated with heat & stick powder, melted with the heat gun, then coated with dazzling diamonds glitter & re-heated to "set". The EP snowflake is a little more subtle and glossy, the heat & stick/glitter snowflake a bit more sparkly and showy. You can click on the photo for a slightly larger view.
Thought I'd share this side by side comparison in case you were wondering which treatment to use on your chipboard. The Country Living Holiday Collection Chipboard shapes can also be treated in this manner. I used the heat & stick powder because I'm not great with glue…I'm a bit of a messy gluer (it ends up everywhere) so I personally find the heat & stick a bit more "neat".
