I’m very excited to be presenting my 100th YouTube Video Tutorial!! WAHOO!! This Batman Chocolate Matchbox treat holder was inspired by one of my favorite roller coasters…Batman The Dark Knight. Originally, I’d made the blue box and matching card. Was stamping with the kids and friends, and my friend Shayna designed the black box with the spotlight and we just about flipped out over it. That become the new winner of the 100th Video, and it tops the stinkin’ cute-o-meter!
A quick and easy project for the Batman fan in your life, using my favorite new punch the Bat Punch and the Matchbox die for the Big Shot. As you’ll see, not only is the box fun, I had a blast making this video, from my son’s Batman mood ring to some special effects (including my own Batman sound effects for the big shot hehehe).
Hoot! Hoot! My videos are back, and we are kicking it off in super stinkin’ cute style with this Hooty the Owl - owl punch tree window card. On top of creating the cutest, easiest owl, I’ll demonstrate how to make this super cool cloudy background for the inside of the card. Special thanks to Jill Hillard for this awesome design.
This card generates lots of oooohhs and aaaahhhs…it’s fantastic in person!
Created by my friend Lee Conrey (I’m a HUGE fan Lee!!!), this background technique is called a “color wash” and uses Stampin’ Up’sWatercolor Wonder crayons for a quick and easy WOW! This was one of my June stamp club projects. Check out the video below for instructions.

These fun-to-wear fabric flower pins are just amazing! My friend BJ Peters taught us how to create these using fleece (as in polar fleece) fabric at our 3rd annual Stampin Up Demonstrator Extravaganza last Saturday. I created this video tutorial (below) to demonstrate how easy these are to make.
These great fabric flowers are all the rage, I’ve seen them for sale in boutiques for $20+ up! Wow, they were selling for the same price as 1 of the Big Shot dies I used to make them!! Talk about paying for itself in no time, you can create one for each outfit.
The flowers are so fun and easy to make, even a “non-sewer” like myself can do this…no sewing machine necessary lol! Just some circles cut from the Big Shot die cut machine (yes, really, circles) a needle and thread and you’re on your way…and if I can do it anyone can. Those of you who sew will get a kick out of my “amature” stitching in the video. The inspiration sheet includes a picture of the supplies and circles you’ll need to create the flowers, be sure to print it off and jot down some notes on it as you watch the video.
Try using different colors of fleece/felt or fabrics together to create fun effects like these, you can make the flowers in 2 sizes from the Circles #2 die, either using the 3 smallest or 3 largest circles (flowers shown use the 3 largest). The sassy, feathered skull and crossbones is my favorite, I designed that one in honor of my friend Leasa Williams. BJ put some of hers on one of the Big Shot bags she made with the scallop square die.
Here is an incredibly gorgeous card using a vellum “stained glass” technique for my series this week on the Elements of Style stamp set. It is so easy, and beautiful to do. This card also features the new Square Lattice impressions textured folder for the Big Shot Die Cut machine, which has fast become a favorite of mine. Designed by my friend and downline, Sue McQuiston.
Watch your stress melt-away with this “stress relief” card, the tearing, crumpling and color spritzing techniques really work it out! And just wait until you get to the cracked glass technique on the butterfly, it looks like a family heirloom. You’ll love this gorgeous installment in my series this week on the Elements of Style stamp set. Designed by my friend and downline, Jenni Ingerick.
Join me for today’s video, where we’ll be making a super cool Graduation Cap Gift card holder! Set to impress your favorite graduate both inside and out OR use this cool idea for Graduation party invitations. A cool hinged scallop square cap/card, with slots to hold your gift card inside. Make this with your grads’s school colors simply by changing the grosgrain ribbon tassel. Listen for a cameo from my 9 year old son, his video debut:)
It’s a BTU-tiful thing! This stamp set is soooo funny!! Check out the burnt edges of this card, and the new King of the Grill stamp set is just hilarious. Perfect for Father’s Day and more. This card was designed by my friend and Team Stamp It member, Dawn Gutro. The video demonstrates how to make this over the top “stinkin’ cute” card. This card tops the charts on my new “Stinkin’ Cute-o-meter“!
Introducing my new “Stinkin’ Cute-o-meter”! Some cards are gorgeous, elegant, man-ly and some are just plain stinkin’ cute. If you’ve seen my videos, you know you can judge a project’s “cuteness” by how many “stinkin’ cutes” I give it in the video. It’s almost like a college drinking game, every time Tami says “stinkin’ cute” you take a sip of your drink (kidding). The catch phrase has turned me into “The Stinkin’ Cute Lady”. I now have my very own “Stinkin’ Cute-o-meter“, for these cards that are over the top.
Born to be wiiiiild!!! Wahooo!! I’m so excited to have a motorcycle stamp (in the new Summer Mini catalog), both my husband and I are bikers. He is the hottie on the Harley, my bike is what I like to call the “Honda Davidson” (below). My friend Lisa Freeman, and her friend Lorrie, created this gorgeous motorcycle card in blue (below). I did it in red to match my bike. The video tutorial (below) has all of the fun details.
A cool note about this card, the black striped designer paper is actually from the My Digital Studio program. I didn’t find any black designer paper I liked that fit the card perfectly. I love being able to make my own designer paper with MDS! My son walked by and saw the card and loved it so much he’s now making his own:)
Today’s video comes from my friend (and downline) Jenni Ingerick, she created this gorgeous card using the Vintage Vogue stamp set (yes, it’s still available…yipppeee) and the coolest ribbon flower technique. Jenni put together this great video tutorial to show you how to create the shabby ribbon flower.
