The Silver Stamper

Hi, Stampers!       Online Extravaganza will run for six days. During this time,SU! will be throwing three, 48-hour sales featuring a selection of products from the 2018–2019 annual catalog—all at  10% off.   Each 48-hour sale will feature two product categories (set out below). When one sale ends, the next sale begins; this cycle will continue until Online Extravaganza is over.       Bundles are not included, as they are already discounted. Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are not included, Big Shot & Stamparatus are not included, and certain other individual items are not included.  If you would like me to email a complete list of exclusions to you, just let me know.      If you would like to see the full selection of discounted items during each 48-hour sale, please visit my online store  at the beginning of each two-day sale. Each sale will be given its own category, which will contain all available discounted items for that particular 48-hour sale. After that, the only thing

Hi, Stampers!      Above is my submission for FMS Challenge #363.  Here is the template.  Read on.      I've been wanting to make something with the pretty irises in the Graceful Glass Vellum paper stack and, since the panel is long and narrow, this sketch fit the bill.  My irises panel is full card length, but I think that will still be acceptable.  Then, what to use for the accent strip.  I looked through all of my current DSP and found this "marble" pattern in the Petal Promenade DSP - perfect - stained glass and marble.     The only other adjustment I made to the sketch is that I trimmed my card front at 3-1/4" and added the DSP strip to the exposed inside of the card.  Not sure if you can tell that from the photo.

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!
