Die Cutting and Ink Pad Holding Hacks

Two hacks for the price of one: FREE!

I found a YouTube video from a creator by the name of Kathya Kalinine where she used this ink pad holding hack. Genius! And I am so surprised that no one else has caught on to using it. There is a little bit of a small investment and if you don't have arthritis in your hands, you may feel its not necessary. I probably thought the same way three years ago. Not today.

As seen in the video, if you're interested in how I swatched my ink pads and made the ink pad colored label for the Ranger Distress Ink mini ink pads check it out here: https://youtu.be/H-i4zpA5Gk0

Lisa Horton Cloud 9 Metallic Inks - Not What I Expected

So the swatching of the new Lisa Horton Cloud 9 metallic pigment inks did not go the way I expected it to.  In some ways I was disappointed and others I was thrilled.  Still need to play around with these inks to get the best method of using them.

Sending More Smiles Demonstration

More Sending Smiles

Today I show you more of the Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and my creative process on how I design a card. I've changed a lot in my process the last several months and it is so much easier to see the end result before I actually create it. If you don't have this stamp set yet (it's became available to order on 5/3/22), feel free to use the supplies you have on hand. PDF supplies and measurements: Supplies PDF

Waves of the Ocean Collection

New: Waves of the Ocean Collection!

This new suite offered by Stampin' Up! is absolutely stunning.  Blue is my favorite color and the papers in this set just speak to me.  If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love to by yours.
