Join Stampin Up today and be a part of something special
January 26, 2010 by
What does it mean to "join Stampin' Up"? I think this answer may be a little different for each of us. For me it started out as one thing, and has changed over the past 6 years. Originally, for me, becoming a demonstrator had nothing to do with demonstrating. It meant a discount on my favorite hobby. Soon my excitement caught on to some friends, who wanted to learn more, and before you know it I was learning how much I loved teaching people how to stamp. I loved watching them bloom and grow, and I still do.VIDEO TUTORIAL: Corner & Edge Punch tips
January 25, 2010 by
Join me for today's video, I'll share some tips on creating random sizes with the new Stampin' Up edge and corner punches.
Using the punches seperately makes a pretty accent to your project. When using them together, they make a stunning border that really draws attention. However, when you use the 2 together, you'll want to use a standard size (chart below). Sometimes the standard size doesn't fit the project you are creating, and that's where these tips will come in handy.Cyber Wedding Expo – Invitation Part 3

January 17, 2010 by
After long wait, the Simply Adorned line is finally available!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!
Our Simply Adorned line beautifully combines the best of two worlds: stamping and jewelry! We designed our Simply Adorned charms to hold a creation you design yourself, making your jewelry truly unique.
Simply Adorned charms are lockets--they open up so you can insert your custom stamped image. The Charming stamp set, along with Rub-Ons, glitter, ribbons, and other embellishments, can help you create your unique charm insert. And don't forget that you can embellish the chains with ribbon, felt flowers . . . the possibilities are endless! The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back. Because there's glass on both sides of the charm, you can display an image on one side or both. You can create a custom heirloom piece that you'll never want to change, or you can swap artwork in and out, depending on your mood and your wardrobe.
