VIDEO: “Outside the Holiday Box” Ornament Vase Card
I wanted to call this the "Spring Holiday Ornament Vase" card but that seemed like an oxymoron lol! It is an awesome outside the box idea for the Holiday Ornament Framelit, turning it into a vase. Check out today's video for the "how to" and some fun with the Backyard Basics stamp set.
Note: Sorry for the "tease"...This was originally created for my Stamp club last month. The Banner Blast stamp set and punch were Sale-a-Bration items that are no longer available. I am hoping maybe we'll see that punch again in the future. That portion could be easily subbed with another word set and not take away from the beauty of the card layout.
More Notes: So you don't miss out on anything stay tuned! The Stampin Up Retirement List is being announced Monday, April 21 and ALL ITEMS are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! Both stamp sets AND accessories. Stay tuned for more details on both the Retirement Lists and New Catalogs coming shortly.

NEW: Introducing Project Life
We are so so so excited to let you know we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal—authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.
You’ll be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1! And with the launch of our new annual catalog on June 2, you’ll be able to buy from our complete line of Project Life products.
Can’t wait that long? Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to order the limited selection starting April 21. So if you’re a demonstrator make sure to check the demonstrator website that day; if you’re not a demonstrator, sign up and you can order the products early too! Click here for details on joining >
Here are the items you’ll be able to purchase on May 1:
VIDEO: Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Flowers
So flippin' adorable and yummy, these Reese's Minatures Peanut Butter Cup flowers were made with the Stampin' Up Fun Flowers Sizzix die from Stampin Up. Very fun and easy to make a bunch. Great for Easter, shower gifts, birthday, etc. You can even make a "flower Garden" with a bunch of these. Check out my video below for the "how to". The hardest part is finishing without eating all of the peanut butter cups. Yummy chocolate treats.

VIDEO
CARD: Best from the Blue Ribbon
CARD: Oh Hello Black and White Beauty
CARD: Chalk Talk For You
CARD: Oh Hello “True Love”
Today's beautiful card inspiration comes all the way from 1/2 way around the world - Australia! Liz Halbisch created this gorgeous card with the Oh, Hello stamp set from Stampin' Up. I love the colors and layout. The flower is colored with the Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple Stampin' Write markers in the 2012-2014 In Color Collection. So pretty!
the words "True Love" came from the MDS (My Digital Studio) download and printed on card stock.
VIDEO: Tami’s Bloopers, Blunders & Stamp Fails of 2014 – Part 1
This week my StampWithTami YouTube Channel hit 3 Million Views!! WOW! I'm so blown away, thank you so much for watching. I love to inspire, and sometimes that inspiration comes in the form of "what not to do" lol. In honor of this, I'm breaking out some of those classic stamp fails that landed on the "editing room floor" to celebrate. Things I probably should be too embarrassed to share, but am sharing anyway.
In this edition (spanning videos from fall 2013 - early 2104):
I'm adding a a few new words to "Tami's Dictionary", still waiting to hear from Websters Dictionary to see my words make this years cut, kidding. Laughter is always the best medicine, is your "Wicked Witch" laugh good enough to scare the kids? What happens when you open up your framelit dies, only to find the one you need is missing? Do you handcut *gasp*, or change your project lol? We'll also cover why you shouldn't craft with drinks on the table. And of course, what's a Blooper video without an appearance from my Beagle, Flash Gordon. Love this dog! These and more funnies to make you smile and laugh....or just plain shake your head in wonder hahaha.
