The Silver Stamper

Hi, Stampers -     SU! has experienced IT communication difficulties with it's new inventory control program (if you've ever worked with a PC, you know how that  goes) and has advised us that the following Holiday Catalog products are in short supply and could very well run out sometime next week!  So, if you are thinking of ordering for holiday cards, etc. that include any of these products, you would be wise to do it now.  E.g., the above Festive Farmhouse Framelits (part of a bundle) are on the list and will not be carried over, I'm sad to say.

Hello, Stampers!      Want to use up your holiday/Christmas DSP leftovers?  I have the perfect solution for you!  Well, not me, exactly, but I'm CASing with all of you.  ;-)  CAS is the acronym stampers use for Copy And Share - that is pretty much SU!'s philosophy.  Anyway...      Kim Jolley (stampinartfully.com) shared her version and a link to Sam Holland Donald's (Pootles.co.uk) YouTube video tutorial for this easy treat holder, and now I'm sharing my version and passing it on to you!  Just click HERE .  (The video title says "Falling Flowers...," but it is for this project.).  Take note of Sam's instructions when trimming the rounded flap section - cut a hair inside  your score line.      I'll just tell you what I used and the size.  I used leftover Festive Farmhouse and Dashing Along DSP, cut 9-1/2 x 5-1/4; my retired large Corner Rounder Punch (Sam used the Detailed Trio Punch), retired ribbon, retired red Glimmer Paper and retir

Hi, Stampers!    You were warned - more Country Home!  I hope you can see the beautiful copper patina on the Tin Tile piece on this card.  I CAS'd the technique (although it's an old one) from France Martin on YouTube, "Patina Technique."  Thanks for bringing this technique back to life, Frenchy!  Let's get started.     A quick email to me will get you a FREE printable Project Sheet!

Hello, Stampers!     How many of you (us) have stopped adding the labels to our rubber/clear mount stamps because they don't always stay put like they should on the clear block?  I raise my hand!!👋 I've always preferred to use the label images to help with placement, but it just got frustrating that some wouldn't stick properly, so I pretty much don't use them.  However , SU! listened to our grumblings and starting with Sale-A-Bration (SAB) and the 2019 Occasions Catalog, all NEW stamp sets will be offered in Cling or Photopolymer - wood-mount stamps will be phased out except for Background Stamps.     For more details, click "read more" below.
