Recycle Empty Stampin' Up! Containers

Have you ever wondered what to do with those empty Stampin' Up!  containers?  If you're like me you hate to throw anything away that might prove useful later.  I recently cut some circles from cardstock using the 2-1/2" Circle Punch (120906) and used some Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape (129314) to cover around the container.  I then cut out 5 flowers with the Blossom Punch (125603) to make a flower for the top.  Now I have a cute container for my grandaughter!   If you would like to purchase any of the items used to make this darling container, visit my Online Store today!

Special Flip Calendar

Many of you know that my mother lives with me and my husband.  Now that she is getting up in years, her memory is not what it used to be.  My role has also changed.  I have moved from being the daughter whose mother lives with her to my mother's caregiver.  It has been very hard for me to see her struggle with remembering simple things.  She has recently been getting frustrated because she has trouble remembering what day it is when she wakes  up every morning.  

  

My solution was to make her a special flip calendar.  I made it using Stampin' Up!  Designer Series Paper and some blank coasters I had on hand.  After covering each coaster with the paper, I added a day of the week on each and punched two holes at the top with my Crop-a-dile.  I then added some O-rings I had and instantly had a calendar for her.  I even added the days that I have my regular stamp camps and classes.  I now put the calendar by her place each morning with it flipped to the appropriate day of the week.  When she wakes up now she doesn't have to struggle to figure out what day it is.  This was such a fast and easy calendar to make and it has made my mother's day so much better.   

 

HAPPY STAMPING,

KAREN

Musical Flower Card

I recently attended my upline's monthly Build And Grow (BAG) meeting and as always enjoyed our show and share time.  The card I wanted to feature today was one of Susan Smith's cards and I would put it up there with my all-time favorites.   I think the way she folded the music paper really makes the card pop!  For her card she used was the Flower Shop (130939-wood, 130942-clear) stamp set and the Modern Medley (126926) Designer Series Paper from the 2013-14 Stampin' Up!  Annual Catalog.   If you would like to purchase any of the items used to make this card, visit my Online Store and have everything shipped directly to your home!

Faux Leather Technique

Happy November 1st!  I thought I'd start off this month showing you a fall card using the Magnificent Maple (131868-wood) stamp.  This card was made using a fun technique called faux leather.  A little bit of patience is all you need, along with a roll of masking tape.  TIP:  Better get your own tape--husbands don't like sharing!

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:  Cover a piece of card stock with small pieces of masking tape, making sure the entire piece is covered with masking tape and no card stock shows.

Step 2:  Use your 1st color of ink & rub all over taped card stock with a sponge.  Repeat with 2nd & 3rd inks. 

Step 3:  (Optional)  Cover the entire piece of masking tape cardstock with clear embossing powder & heat it.  The powder should adhere to the texture of the tape so no VersaMark is needed.

Step 4:  Finish your card.

 

HAPPY STAMPING,
