My Stamp Nook

Welcome to Monday! No one expects perfection and I, for one, have a great respect and admiration for someone that at least tries! We all have good days and bad days but, no matter what type of day it is, try to make the best of it. Today, try to be the best you can!

Welcome Saturday! Seven things, if followed, will see you through life and make your days brighter. If done, each of these items will improve your well being and bring you joy.

Create joyfully is something all crafters do. We are in our happy place.

I need your help. When do you like to watch Facebook Lives for card tutorials? How long do you like them to be? Afternoons or evenings?

Going Live today (July 18th) at 7 pm with a simple fun fold card! See you then.

My Thursday dilemma! Do you get occasional days like this too? I’m thinking my order of new supplies coming later today will definitely help.

Welcome to Wednesday! I don’t know about you but when I look at all my supplies I feel I could stock a store. I could probably live to a 120 and still have lots left. What about you? Do you keep limited supplies on hand? Buy only what you need for your project! Could stock a store?

It’s “Tip” Tuesday! Yay for embossing folders!!!! I love them not just for card stock but also DSP (designer series paper/patterned paper) and the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card Pack (163318).

By using my Modern Oval Punch (162234) I punched out the sentiment, flipped over the card to the Wild Wheat side and embossed it using the Distressed Tile 3D folder (162189) and then used Dashing Designs 3D folder on my Summer Splash card-stock mat. A few embellishments and my card is complete.

On my second card I used the Memories & More Thoughtful Journey card pack again . I cut the card down, embossed it with the Distressed Tile 3D folder, matted it and added a few embellishments. Quick and easy.

There are 28 pieces (2 each of 14?designs) in this Memories & More package. You can see what a difference it makes when you use your embossing folders.

Happy Tuesday!
Do you tidy your craft table after every use?
Yes, no, sometimes

Here we are, it’s Monday and the start of a new week. Here’s my wish for you ….

Hello Sunday! Do you own the new glass mat from Stampin’ Up? If you have the glass mat share with us what you love or even something you might not love about it. For me, I love it! I love how well my polymer stamp images are when I stamp on it. I like stamping my ink pads on it then taking a water brush and picking up the ink to colour. I love how I can use a dry erase marker to make notes or write down measurements. What I don’t love is the glare it gives when doing FB Lives, I wish it was non glare glass. Comment below with your pros and cons.

Welcome to Saturday! I’m definitely a morning runner some days. Most days by the time I make it to my craft room I have forgotten the idea I dreamt of. Are you a morning runner?

Hello Friday! Today is fun fold Friday and I shared this Hidden Gatefold card in a live last night. I used some new products released in the online exclusives by Stampin’ Up’. I showed how and why I Iove using embossing folders even on metallic papers like the Season of Green and Gold designer series papers. For complete details, please see the live.

Going live today (July 11/24) at 7 pm EST to show a Hidden Gatefold Card with some new products.

It’s “This” or “That” Thursday! Here are 2 new Online Exclusive kits that I recently purchased. I’ve made a fun fold card using them that I will be featuring in a Facebook Live here later today. Which bundle do you like best?

How does crafting (card making, knitting, quilting, pottery, etc) make you feel?

Hello and welcome to Tuesday! I craft because while I’m making my cards I block out what is happening in the world. I’m in my own little world with beautiful papers, embellishments, stamps, dies and punches. I love seeing someone’s face when they open my card.

What about you ….

Welcome to Monday or as I am going to call it “More Day”. I would add “More crafting time” to the list. What would you add?

Yay for World Chocolate Day! What’s your favourite chocolate?

Good morning! Do you have Sunday traditions you follow? Maybe it’s a family dinner? A Sunday drive? Dinner at a favourite restaurant? Crafting? Reading?

Good morning! Welcome to Saturday! We all have our favourite adhesive for our different projects. I’m a big fan of the Multi Liquid Glue and dimensionals when
making my cards. For my 3D projects it’s Tear ‘n Tape. I have all these adhesives in my stash. What about you?

Yay for Friday! I consider myself to be an avid stamper. When I’m going way on short trips or sitting in waiting rooms for medical appointments I love taking a Paper Pumpkin Kit with me. All I need is my crafting scissors and I can create beautiful cards. I can make alternatives or I can step them up with embossing, different embellishments, or fun fold. They make great gifts for family members who want to make cards and are a great introduction to stamping. Have you ever made up one of these kits?

This is the July kit which can be ordered until July 10th. A separate die set that can be used with this kit and upcoming kits is also available to order.

July 3rd to 31st purchases of $60 before taxes and shipping comes with a $6 coupon code you can apply to any purchases you make during the month of August. There are new items in the Online Exclusives section that might just interest you especially if you are thinking of starting your holiday cards.

Hello Thursday! Happy July 4th to my family, friends and Facebook followers in the US. Enjoy this day and travel safe.

What will you be doing today?

Welcome to Wednesday! Sharing three more shoebox swap cards from our June demo in person event. I love doing these live swaps and making the cards designed by
these talented ladies.

Hello Tuesday! Four swap cards from three demos in one of the swaps I participated in plus one I created which is the lower right hand card.

In this swap, the most used colour was Summer Splash.

Do you like Summer Splash? Do you participate in swaps? If you have participated post a few in the comments below!

Wishing all my friends and family a Happy July 1st Canada Day. I hope your plans include some family fun get togethers today. Travel safe as you drive the busy roads.

How will you be spending your day?
