Acorny Thank You & Video Tutorial

The Acorny Thank You Bundle (140841) was one I knew I had to have for my fall cards. I thought it was cute and love the bold images and of course it had great possibilities and since it has the coordinating Acorn Builder Punch. After all  who can resist a punch?

Stamp-a-ma-jig Storage Tip Tutorial & New Weekly Deals

I’ve just realized I hadn’t already shared this quick and easy tip with you for storing your Stamp-a-ma-jig imaging sheet. It really makes stamping with your wood block stamps quick and easy!

I’ve a wood stamp lover. They are quick – just open the case and go. So using vellum for imaging sheets this is something I’ve been doing forever. But for some reason it dawned on me the other day that my vellum just flopped around in the cases and it bothered me. (No compulsive stamper here, right? LOL).

So today’s post includes and quick video – so why not check it out? The Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049) is a must have tool that I reach for all the time since it allows me to position my images exactly where I want it every time!

Stamp-a-ma-jig Storage Tip Video Tutorial

And for those heavy use sentiment sets such as our Hostess set, Happy Birthday, Everyone (139171/139958) I like to use our Window Sheets (114323). They are really durable and sturdy.

imaging sheet tip for wood mount stamps (2)

Simply stamp on the Window Sheets using StazOn Ink and you’ve got an imaging sheet that can last forever!

imaging sheet tip for wood mount stamps (1)

Wonder why the Window Sheet is blue? Well, it’s simple I simply leave on the protective coating that comes on it. It makes finding the imaging sheet easier on my desk.( If you saw my desk while I’m working you’d understand. LOL!) And when I want to change the imaging sheet I simply peel off the protective coating. How great is that – no cleaning.

Sleigh Ride

Check out these two great cards I stamped  last week both used the Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies (139667) as their base to start with. This first one is Kathleen’s shoebox and uses the Jingle All the Way stamp set (139904/139907) along with the fun Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies (139670). 

Jingle All the Way Stamp Divas Shoebox Oct 2015 (1)

I love Pool Party and Lost Lagoon together and the way Kathleen added the little touches with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (139672) and Curvy Corner Trio Punch (139683). Check out the  the new Silver Cording Trim (139620) and Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) used for the top of the ornament. They add a touch of elegance to the project.

This next card also uses the Flurry of Wishes (139732) and coordinating Snow Flurry Punch (139680). These two items come in a money saving Bundle (140868) so not only can you create fun projects but you can save a bit too!

Flurry of Wishes and Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies Stamp Divas Shoebox Oct 2015 (6)

The pop of Real Red against the Soft Sky card base is fun  and can you see the texture Maria added with the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder (138287)?

Stop by again tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the final project from the shoebox swap.

Team Time & Happy Hauntings

Last week I got together with some of my team, shoe boxes and stamps. We had a fun evening together stamping. So I’ll be sharing some of the items we stamped together that evening over the next few days.

This first set of items Janette created and brought for us in her shoe box. I love making treats for Halloween and these two are just too much fun. Any little kid would love getting them or even us big kids. LOL

This first item holds home made chocolate treat and uses our Merry Everything stamp set (135068/135071) and the coordinating Note Tag punch (135860).

Merry Everything Stamp Divas Shoebox Oct 2015 (4)

Cute right? Don’t you love the little witches hat made out of our Black Glimmer Paper (139605) holding the top of the bag together? The hat is made using  the Tree Punch (135859), 2 1/2″ Circle Punch (120906), 1 1/4″ Circle Punch (119861) and the Bow Builder Punch (137414). There is a Clothes Pin (133764) on the inside to make is easily removable.

And this second item is just as much fun too.

Sweet Hauntings soda hanger Stamp Divas Shoebox Oct 2015 (3)

The little pixie stick holder is decorated with our Sweet Hauntings stamp set (139702/139705) from the Holiday Catalog. Along with the fun sentiment we used the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper (139584) again for this project. I love the little plastic spider put on the top of the holder – it adds a eeak! factor. LOL.

Merry Everything and Sweet Hauntings Stamp Divas Shoebox Oct 2015 (2)

Like I said creating treats is fun and makes them extra special and I think these two are going to be a hit!

Stop by again tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects we made.
