Lattice Die Ornament Tutorial
I had a lot of requests for a tutorial for this Christmas Ornament using the Lattice Die. It's taken me a while but since I'm away for 4 days of stamping fun, I thought I'd go ahead and get this done while I'm here. So, let's get started! You need to begin with four of the Lattice Dies. This is a Stampin' Up! exclusive die. You're going to begin with folding your die cut in half. Unfold it and fold in half again the other direction. You have four more folds to do. I have drawn lines here that will hopefully help you. I found the easiest way to fold these diagonal Continue reading
10 Minute Wedding Favor Challenge
I'm a little late getting my10 minute challenge posted this week. I made the project on Wednesday (early!!!) but with the blog tour I put off posting it. The picture above was our challenge. We were told to look at this picture and create what came to mind from the picture. My mind was in wedding mode, due to the Blog Tour theme (see the last three posts) so my inspiration went in that direction. I saw that big fluffly flowery looking cushion and went from there. I'm ready! Did I happen to mention that the 10 minute challenge only pertains to cards? If you decide to make a scrapbook Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Butterfly Punch to Pansy Tutorial
I had fun teaching the Scrap Club members how to make these lovely flowers last night. I wish I could have video taped some of their reactions. It was quite funny! I thought I would go ahead a make a quick tutorial for all of you. Start with the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Punch and some Whisper White cardstock. You are going to need two butterflies per flower. Choose two shades of Stampin' Write Markers for your flower. Use the lighter shade marker to color both butterflies entirely. Use the darker shade Stampin' Write marker to color just the edges of the butterflies. Use a small Continue reading
Ornament Punch Rose Tutorial
This is a remake of a tissue box that I showed you last week. I promised you a tutorial for the rose and it's time! I started with 25 ornament punches in Whisper White. The more punches you have the fuller your rose will be. The ornament punch was offered by Stampin' Up! in the Holiday Mini Catalog but I have good news for you! The punch is not pictured in any of the current catalogs, however, it is still available! The item number is 116794 and it costs $15.95. I want the rose to have two tones so I am sponging the edges of the punches with Pretty in Pink Classic ink. I used a Continue reading
Snowman Gift Tag Tutorial
I was asked a question about making the little snowman gift tags in my Gift Tag Boxes so I thought I'm just do up a quick little tutorial for you and try to answer any other questions out there. They're easy to make once you have the hang of what to do. . . I used a bone folder to fold a piece of Whisper White cardstock in half. The bone folder gives a nice crisp fold which you really need for this since you're going to be putting the folded cardstock into a punch. . . . Insert the folded cardstock into the Stampin' Up! Small Tag Punch making sure you can see the fold in the "hole" so Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Heat and Stick Powder Tutorial
I have had two people contact me this week about Heat and Stick powder. If it wasn't for the fact that they're from different states, I'd think they were working together! Here's a quick tutorial for you. I'm sorry I don't have a completed project using Heat and Stick Powder to show you at the moment but hopefully this will answer your questions. Use a Versamark ink pad (or even a craft ink pad if you want a certain color behind the glitter) to stamp the image you want glittery. (As with embossing powder, an embossing buddy or dryer sheet rubbed across your cardstock before stamping Continue reading
Tutorial for the baby onesie
Kim contacted me and asked how to make the onesie card like I posted a little while back. I thought perhaps others would like to know as well. It really is a fairly easy card to make and everyone loves it! The first step is to cut a piece of cardstock in half long way. The cardstock should measure 4 1/4" x 11". Fold it in half. You want to use a 1 3/8" circle punch (item #119860) to cut the neck out of the folded end of the cardstock. Cut just a half Continue reading
