TECHNIQUE VIDEOS: from Stampin Up
April 24, 2015 by
I wanted to share 3 great technique videos that Stampin Up has released. Hope you enjoy!
Featuring the: Hot Diggity Dog Stamp set #134021 wood, #134024 clear mount
Featuring the Bravo Stamp set: #135380 photopolymer
Featuring various Stampin' Up Impressions Folders. (click to view)
MARKER TO STAMP TECHNIQUE
Instead of using ink pads, try the marker to stamp technique. Katie will show you how to color the rubber stamp with a Stampin' Write Marker, give it a breath to re-moisten the ink and stamp the image. This works great on any stamp from a blocked image to an intricate design.
Featuring the: Hot Diggity Dog Stamp set #134021 wood, #134024 clear mount
USING SPONGE DAUBERS
Sponge Daubers are so easy to use. Alisa is using a mask to create a beautiful background on this handmade card.
Featuring the Bravo Stamp set: #135380 photopolymer
STAMPING WITH EMBOSSING FOLDERS
Embossing folders are great to add depth and dimension to your products, but did you know that they can also be used as stamps? Let Andrea show you just some of the fun images you can create with embossing folders and ink.

BLOG HOP: Stampin Up Hawaii theme Snow Cone Card
April 22, 2015 by
So this really happened...I've earned a free, all expenses paid trip to Hawaii from Stampin Up! OMG! True story!! I can't wait to go next month with 2 of my BFFs. This trip marks my 11th incentive trip with Stampin Up in my 11.5 years with the company! Gosh I love what I do, and I love this company. A few of the demonstrators attending this trip decided to put together this fun "Hawaiian themed" blog hop.
You may be just beginning your journey through our blogs, or you may have arrived from Alisa Tilsner’s Blog. She's a tough act to follow....
...One of the many, many things I can't wait to get in Hawaii is the yummmmy Shave Ice! My Blog hop project is this Snow cone card. It was originally inspired by my friend Cindy Baughman (from Hawaii). I put my own spin on the original idea. It's super easy and fun to make. Full of #awesomeness!!
This snow cone card is super easy and fun to make, I have a quick video tutorial below to show you how to make it. The stamp sets are @SoSocial and Oh My Goodies, and some help with the Circle & Deco Label Framelits. A little bit of "heat embossing" creates the "ice", yes you read that right we are heating it up to make ice hahaha.
