How to Blend with the Color Lifter and Blendabilities

Studio Calico Kit & Project Life



Ok everyone know I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator but I really am addicted to Project Life. I seriously within 4 weeks scrapbooked the last 23 years of our marriage. Now I am free to take as many photos as I want without the guilt. I am so happy that Stampin' Up! partnered with Becky Higgins from Project life and we have 5 very cute kits. Which you can order here. You can see the kits below.





I subscribe to My Paper Pumpkin and I love it but so far we haven't had any Project Life items in it. I also make my own cards with my Stampin' Up! supplies but like I said I really am addicted. So I took the plunge and I ordered the monthly Studio Calico Kits for $19.99. So far I love them. You can get all types of fun goodies in the box. If you want to check out what it is all about you can it here. Here is a picture of one of the kits they offer.

Marines






My son is in Parris Island for boot camp. I plan on sending him a card everyday telling him what is going on at home. I have been stamping for 6 years and my husband has never stamped with me. He said after dinner lets go make cards. I said OK!!! My son walked in and the look on his face was priceless. My heart really needed this. It has been a really bad week.

Gift Bow Bigz L Die

  

We want to show off this amazing Gift Bow Bigz L Die. This die is so easy to easy and the end result is beautiful! To use the die build your regular sandwich using the Standard Cutting Pads, and run it through the Big Shot.

This die is different from our other dies -- it's a steel roll die and that means it can cut three to four pieces of paper at a time. It can also cut fabric!

When you have cut your paper you will have five bow pieces. Now you can get to bow making. You will need a bone folder, and SNAIL Adhesive. Run your bone folder over the paper and break up the paper fibers and then assemble!

To make the large bow you will need the large piece, the two bow end pieces and the wrap piece. Put a little bit of SNAIL in the middle of the large piece, and fold the ends of the large piece in on its self. Then bend the wrap piece around the middle to create a finished look. Then adhere the end pieces onto the bow.

To make the smaller bow you will need to cut out two pieces of paper on the Gift Bow Bigz L Die. Take two of the bow pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to each other in the middle and assemble the same way as large bow.

You can play with the pieces to create as simple or as elaborate bows as you want!
