Watercolor Pencils are awesome!

Hello Stamping Friends!

Hope you are surviving the heat.  One of my favorite items in the coloring tools are the watercolor pencils.  They can really stretch your colors when you are limited in ink.
Stampin Up! Has two sets each with different colors and they pretty much cover all the basics.  You really need a set of Blender Pens with the pencils.  They come three in a pack for $12 and are really magic!  I’m going to show you how to use them in the attached video.  I used the Zany Zebras stamp set for a super simple card to show you the technique.  This set is shown in the Beginners Brochure.  Contact me for a copy.

The Hostess Code for July is BHDJNSW7
Don’t forget.  Spend $50 in July in the catalog and get a $5 coupon to use in August.

Happy Stamping

Boho Indigo to Cool Off

Wow!  What a heat wave!  Great to be either in the pool - or of course, in the air conditioning making cards.

I have a really beautiful product to share with you today.  The Boho Indigo medley of products is a complete set with everything you need to make dozens of cards and it is fabulous.  I love the color blue and this gives so many beautiful blue prints it is well...fabulous.

The video shows you all you get with the medley and shows why this really is a great deal.

Don’t forget, this weekend is my BOGO sale.  I changed how I’m doing it just a little.  You can do it as I originally explained, pick what you want from my discounted stamp sets and you get dollar for dollar credit toward an item in the catalog.  Or you can order from the catalog and get dollar for dollar credit toward the discounted stamp sets.  Either way you are getting free stuff!

Also, every $50 order from the catalog on line in July gets you a $5 coupon to use in August.  And the Holiday catalog is available for orders beginning August 4th.

Lots going on.  So here is one of the cards from the Boho Indigo product medley.

Here is the video.

Hope to see you Friday or Saturday at the BOGO sale.

Ridiculously Awesome!

The Ridiculously Awesome stamp set is great!  No pictures - just greetings, but they are so uplifting and inspiring that you can use them for just about anything.  The fonts are big, so they can be the only thing on the front of a card with some pretty designer series paper.  Let me show you.

First, pick your designer series paper and pull two colors from it that you like.  You start with the 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 base scored at 4 1/4  in one of your colors.  Cut a piece 5 1/4 X 4 in the other color.  Then cut the DSP 5 X 3 3/4.  You will cut a scalloped oval in your base color and a plain oval in whisper white.  Layer the papers, attach a ribbon and tie a bow in a coordinating color.  Stamp the sentiment and attach it with dimensional.  I’ll show you all of it in the video.

I’ve also added a few tips for organizing/storing your craft material.  I really find the plastic boxes at craft stores in 6X6 and 12X12 to be handy for paper and all the bits and bobs.  More on that in the video.

Bonus days - Stampin Up! Is having bonus days.  That means for every $50 you spend in the rest of July, you get a $5 coupon to use in August.  

Hostess Code for July - BHDJNSW7. Use this code if you place an order during the month of July (under $150) If over $150, you keep the rewards.
