There's a Card Thursday - May 15, 2014 - Venetian Romance Sun Burst

I did this card for my Retirement Open House and everyone loved it so I thought I would show you all how to do it.  It uses the Retiring Paper Venetian Romance.  I really love that paper and it really just pops when you sponge it.

In the Video I made a Thank you Card instead of Happy Day.

I am so sad that the Fun Flower Die is retiring I really love that die.

Hope you enjoy the video.

I also have a big favor to ask.  Stampin' Up! is having a new program going on where Demonstrators are going to be chosen to help design new products and events I would like to apply for it but I do need at least 1 more person on my team. to apply for it.  To be a Demo it is $99 for $125 worth of merchandise you pick out.  You get to pre-order from catalogs, get to go to the Stmapin' Up! convention with Stmapin' up! paying your registration fee.  You get the look at all new products. You get 20% instant income from what you buy or sell. You get to be on my team.  You will not have to sell anything you can just buy for yourself or you can sell and get to go on cruises and trips for free.  Please help me obtain my goal of being able to apply for this position, by clicking here and joining my team.

Happy stamping

There's A Card Thursday - January 30, 2014 - Star or Sun Burst Card

So today as I promised on Tips & Techniques Tuesday we will be putting together a card with the Star/Sun Burst technique.

This card went to a very good friend when she started her new job.

I really like this technique and it is really good because you can do a bunch of bases and then just pop them on cards with a focal point or saying and you got a card.  I will have keep some in my fast card box.

This post will be a little short as I am scheduling it as I have to bring Kayla to the Denver Airport and her flight leaves at 7:30 AM which means we are out of the house by 3:30 AM.  But check back here on Friday as I will be part of the Stampin' Addicts Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop.

Hope you enjoy the video.




Remember to get those orders in for your Sale-A-Bration freebies.

Happy Stamping

Tips & Techniques Tuesday - January 28, 2014 - Starburst or Sunburst Technique

First off let me just say -

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday Dear Mary
Happy Birthday to Me.


Yes today is my birthday, but I am not going to tell you how old I am, but my daughters think I am older than dirt.

I do enjoy Birthdays as I love to party.  I have a friend whose Birthday is also today and she is way older than I am.  We met at our gym taking an exercise class and I just hope in 20 years years I am still doing what she is doing being 30 years older than I am.  Happy Birthday Tess.

Today is also Tips & Techniques Tuesday and I will be showing you how to do the Sunburst or Starburst technique.  I have heard it called both so I really don't know which is the right name.  It is a fun technique and this one uses Designer Series Paper - there is another one that uses ink which I will show you later - and makes a great background.  On There's A Card Thursday I will make some cards using this technique for you, so check back on Thursday.

Today is also the START OF SALE-A-BRATION.  I will show you some things you can do with the free items you can get during Sale-A-Bration after the video.
