It’s NOT just for tags!

Look at this punch!  It can be used not just for a note tag – I think one of my stampin’ sisters said that it looked like a grave stone, so it would be great for Halloween too! Remember these? Retired this year! Shock, horror!  What to do?  I found a way but one size […]

Party pics!

It’s  time I shared my launch party pictures before they become totally obsolete!  I was double “dipping” an expression I learnt recently meaning working “smart” and using projects  you’ve made for more than one event/class so long as the projects are still current.  My topic was on gift packaging for the July Quarterly team training […]

Pinched Star Box – Gift Bag Punch Board

This July Quarterly, my Inspiration Station topic was about gift packaging using new dies and tools in Stampin’ Up!’s arsenal.  The star turn, literally, was this particular box made using the gift bag punch board.  Other tools had to come into play too – our trusty trimmer and old faithful Simply Scoring tool.  I had […]

What? Crafty ironing?

Did that get your attention, or are you running for the hills at the mention of the word “ironing”? Wait!  Just check out this week’s video for a cool technique!  I guarantee it’ll be fun!  It’s called the Wax Paper resist technique which I found on SCS many years ago, and which I’ve resurrected again. […]
