When I started this hobby, I purchased stamps that I thought I would use and now realize that they just don't fit into my projects. I am selling these as well as getting rid of the multiple alterable items I purchased with good intentions. I have realized that I just don't have the time to complete some of the projects I originally wanted to.Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243615032335653785.post-69463848954289355152010-08-03T08:00:00.001-05:002010-08-03T08:00:01.269-05:00March Stamp Club ProjectIn March we did Easter projects. The first card was done by stamping the Chocolate Bunny stamp on Chocolate Chip paper with Versamark and then embossing it with clear embossing powder. The eggs were done using the large oval punch and the Designer Label punch was used for the sentiment and the Well Scripted Stamp Set.<br />

<br />
The second card was done using the Easter stamp set Abundant Hope and the Faux Silk Technique. This technique can be found <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/faux_silk/">HERE</a> at Split Coast Stampers. The Modern Label punch was used for the sentiment and the Scallop Trim punch was used for the edges of the Certainly Celery paper.<br />

What does this mean for you? It means that you better get shopping now and make sure that you don't miss out on anything that's been on your wish list for a while. Below you can access the last chance lists. These are all the items retiring and never to be seen again. Some of them are even discounted either 25 or 50%. All of these items are on a first come, first serve basis and once the supply is depleted they will not be offered anymore. You can either place an order through my online store (click link on sidebar) or shoot me an email and I'll get it ordered for you.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B2l_XiXPBijiYTcyYmE2YzItODY4Yy00NTdlLThiZmQtYzRjZTA5Y2UxNDFl&hl=en">Last Chance Stamps</a><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B2l_XiXPBijiZjllMWVkZmYtMjBhNi00OTYyLWJhMTUtZGVjN2JjZWRlMjMy&hl=en">Last Chance Stamps - With Images</a><br /><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B2l_XiXPBijiZTYwNzQ4OTAtZDk0NS00ZTUxLTkzOWItMGMxOWMzNDg0YjM3&hl=en">Last Chance Accessories</a><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B2l_XiXPBijiZTc0YzA4ZTMtNDRiOC00YzU1LTg1ZTItYTNiNjg5MTY4YzFh&hl=en"><br /></a><a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B2l_XiXPBijiZTc0YzA4ZTMtNDRiOC00YzU1LTg1ZTItYTNiNjg5MTY4YzFh&hl=en">Last Chance Definitely Decorative</a>Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243615032335653785.post-80029116273697938822010-05-25T17:00:00.000-05:002010-05-25T17:00:00.847-05:00The Write Stuff Card Set<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSEmyVLJ5n0atpgY2UVh87tYRxq7IDsgtYtEvAIDWmWjAYBfE-rRCby1mzFIfwDTeyOJuThd67dcQm0f2Y4YmuFR8wz4AFY-_BYl14kWNTwuUJZ8_V0_xTusnRunMxkItM1JCMsspDclg0/s1600/DSCF6805.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSEmyVLJ5n0atpgY2UVh87tYRxq7IDsgtYtEvAIDWmWjAYBfE-rRCby1mzFIfwDTeyOJuThd67dcQm0f2Y4YmuFR8wz4AFY-_BYl14kWNTwuUJZ8_V0_xTusnRunMxkItM1JCMsspDclg0/s320/DSCF6805.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474916238304526562" border="0" /></a>I offered my first class last Friday!

The stamp set is not included. Please let me know if you would like to reserve one of these kits for yourself, I only have 3 left!Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243615032335653785.post-42941308168270151262010-05-25T10:54:00.001-05:002010-05-25T10:56:51.760-05:00New Digital Downloads for MDS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122141"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglo5Ui3PeYHmUmmGCbRCf-JIE9uObrtwuuSbbcceWdM6ViWrR4KNRXY4sud6t0KtriOe9Pm4wmRPF5a4eYNooKU5Pni68H970X9Rs_62zqYHib5w8_nZpfT3eraXuSSimSxGfXXF10Izl4/s320/122141+-+Itty+Bitty+Shapes.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475236933903222498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122140"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiItDAop9pslETU-033kruLab-QRs3K7ad1Z67aadLKB_VVz1o5srui-X1oiNkHlYt1XajOXCVbD8ULhGeVewhyphenhyphenjrd8FjEN45Kr5t41oLyi7fkuRRJhk0y2AloSSmk3OdiQAShrNOcxP8R/s320/122140+-+Cog+Punch.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475236923515652434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122139"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTOxkmY7QIE6U43odZkjaPkbDID6vl1bb8vFeT8dumMirSWcydJxiGB9cUuOxyFcptb3FEGB5Rft3fkay30pY6eMwaBGfmXdfXwhmB8ElyIBD4u3kWDf7TJ368uPU_yZctS7TOEZmtK7l/s320/122139+-+boho+blossom.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475236921132070466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122138"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3YbDNt2QQyQfdxvzE4fbBxx3slDUXQkE-dSOAwrbersSlHXuTESXPxyYpZF5S7oPI7Bd4kJ7Q-0Js5orcTiHjrwuKGLGR8FEqf9ZE50gcW2JMsFZKI6N5U3Q9bmArySRgqmuCXdNFNssl/s320/122138+-+ticket+corner.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475236911535404786" border="0" /></a>Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243615032335653785.post-59022105978739040172010-05-24T17:00:00.000-05:002010-05-24T17:00:01.340-05:00Nurse Appreciation WeekIt was nurse appreciation week May 6-12 and since I work at the College of Nursing at my local University, I made this card for my supervisor. I CASE'd the idea from <a href="http://blinkthinkink.blogspot.com/2010/01/nurse.html">Ellen Kemper</a>, a fellow Stampin' Up! Demo. I didn't have all the correct punches, so I just made due with what I have. I think this is such a cute card and would be great if you have a scheduled surgery to give to your attending nurse while you are in the hospital.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfCf6ZY6l0fb-2i8QYm_bW9fOPXka_hgawwMJywMt1UobR8QwU0W-IiV5xka-wkr92JO7SmFzGHPWV_OSuvVG4M7TbC0INTBN9SLPev8DCrLZPZhtmy19UEDTkMEVMcA7fkW3JQPQky-f/s1600/IMG_1445.JPG"><img style="display: block;

What does that mean you say? Well, it means that we have new color collections that include some of our current colors, some past In Colors and some new colors. It also means that we will be sending some of our current colors into retirement.<br />
<br />
Stampin' Up! is letting us share this information with you now rather than when the new catalogs come out this summer so that you have time to stock up on any of your favorites that are being retired. These select colors will not be available in paper, ribbon, ink, markers, etc. so if you want 'em get while you can!<br />
<br />
Here are the lists of what colors are going where. Study them, ignore them, cry over them. . .whatever you need to do, here is the information. I also have a couple PDFs that you can download for your reference .<br />

This is great - it saves on my limited storage space, it makes it easier for me to find what I'm looking for, and I like using clear blocks (I can see where I'm stamping!). But, with all of these benefits, it also brings a downfall - blank, unused, lonely wood blocks. What do you do with your wood blocks? I am just now starting to find things to do with them. This is actually my first project with them and I think it turned out great!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Step 1</span><br />Well, to start out I picked some blocks out of my never ending supply of wood blocks. I tried to pick some of the larger ones for pictures and a few smaller ones just for dsp.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0pAcWdYh0T-9-1AsBqjBE9PTr8FSRZtvqPaOQ7ch4WhEjlJ189Q6YBp4vfUGmhnqNQQl7Stuye5fT5aFfNpcYNWNJvfpoFqYfD4Hcwne1o8CA6AkSBSsQjoxOFpa1b7g9Snc7Q6db9_7/s1600-h/DSCF6711.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0pAcWdYh0T-9-1AsBqjBE9PTr8FSRZtvqPaOQ7ch4WhEjlJ189Q6YBp4vfUGmhnqNQQl7Stuye5fT5aFfNpcYNWNJvfpoFqYfD4Hcwne1o8CA6AkSBSsQjoxOFpa1b7g9Snc7Q6db9_7/s400/DSCF6711.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444162296666125218" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Step 2</span><br />Once I had all of my blocks picked out, I laid them out in a pattern that I liked and thought would look good and then measured all of the blocks so I knew how big to make my images in MDS. I really didn't have any great method of doing this. I think I tried to make my image about a 1/8 smaller on each side, so 1/4 inch smaller than the block. Here is my pattern laid out with the measurements written on them.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiej_Pq3vQfUcyYgR2jWLgMfMGWVpXM5GBF90TlqHlz33BFN7cwf-BH3x50ayuRUru872Z8Zadm5_EVzSW8V6omZ99QMAgam41RDC6qCWE-tASvbHJpfrOrW1lfm-I-VN-eOFQtridndA/s1600-h/DSCF6712.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiej_Pq3vQfUcyYgR2jWLgMfMGWVpXM5GBF90TlqHlz33BFN7cwf-BH3x50ayuRUru872Z8Zadm5_EVzSW8V6omZ99QMAgam41RDC6qCWE-tASvbHJpfrOrW1lfm-I-VN-eOFQtridndA/s400/DSCF6712.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444165295919565890" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Step 3</span><br />In MDS I started by opening a blank 8 1/2 x 11 project. I then used the square punch and just resized it to what I needed using the ruler measurements on the side and top of the page. Once I had all of my block sizes made, I laid them out somewhat the same on the page so I could visualize how everything was coming together as I worked. With the punch feature on MDS you can fill it with any DPS or any solid color, so I started with that and then I added pictures on top and sized them. The squares that are pictures only I filled the punch with a picture rather than paper. I plan on doing a tutorial to show you how to do this. Here is my MDS final project. I tried printing this at home, but my printer was not cooperating, so I just printed it as an 8x10 at Walmart from the Kodak machine. Once I get my printer working, it will be much cheaper and easier though!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6AOcRPvOkyIVelX0VWbgRmrf0bRvJVXE_LsZ2fhap2zcJM7isZGTB9gv5XeeQOvgvuhbSiYqgmpSVk9mZzmMOSxdHZen6DNlIgFZz-EuJBGsAFB_Pm4Kx-fS1tQoya4N2ub6BxWyeSCbM/s1600-h/PhotoBlocks-web.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6AOcRPvOkyIVelX0VWbgRmrf0bRvJVXE_LsZ2fhap2zcJM7isZGTB9gv5XeeQOvgvuhbSiYqgmpSVk9mZzmMOSxdHZen6DNlIgFZz-EuJBGsAFB_Pm4Kx-fS1tQoya4N2ub6BxWyeSCbM/s400/PhotoBlocks-web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444166249407182850" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Step 4</span><br />The rest is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just cut them all out and use Mod Podge to put them on the blocks. I put one thin layer on the block to hold the picture in place and then put one thin layer over the picture to coat them. I superglued the blocks together so that they wouldn't be tumbling with every bump of the table.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUQFd-00B20SgZSDwLk60HZocgB1MKtAE6WxUmdsTCjT1KXeJtSYkgI26uojzuIGqiSubmNzZMD7DIbTSBbvhFlhG20ss4qEO_IsVHq0fSJUNqSS2u_Y47u8jKhHyMWQsxPg-AGX10pFS/s1600-h/IMG_0364.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUQFd-00B20SgZSDwLk60HZocgB1MKtAE6WxUmdsTCjT1KXeJtSYkgI26uojzuIGqiSubmNzZMD7DIbTSBbvhFlhG20ss4qEO_IsVHq0fSJUNqSS2u_Y47u8jKhHyMWQsxPg-AGX10pFS/s400/IMG_0364.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444435838602417298" border="0" /></a>Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243615032335653785.post-39928536818791313442010-03-02T16:04:00.004-06:002010-03-02T16:06:05.199-06:00Photo Blocks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAm95jSCvq1nQFWCmBHjanEJ4uz0gFlvJTPnRQLReJW0NyUjmr-J8rjqY8X15hOWRqwK0femmsPvFlz_G9PmjKnUI7XuEyEYVpHG-7LEafebZ6E9DUWW3D-ohHN-onXSQf_9c8n-id5JaX/s1600-h/IMG_0364.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAm95jSCvq1nQFWCmBHjanEJ4uz0gFlvJTPnRQLReJW0NyUjmr-J8rjqY8X15hOWRqwK0femmsPvFlz_G9PmjKnUI7XuEyEYVpHG-7LEafebZ6E9DUWW3D-ohHN-onXSQf_9c8n-id5JaX/s400/IMG_0364.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444160965692047026" border="0" /></a><br />Here is my latest altered project!

Brush out any air bubbles that form - especially those around the punched area. If you just can't get them out, peel off the vinyl and start again. I made my fair share of mistakes and was able to peel and stick the vinyl quite a few times before it started loosing it's stick.<br /><br />Step 3<br />Once the vinyl is on, brush on your etching cream. I put quite a bit a bit on and found that dabbing it on worked best.<br /><br /><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx63QFzZmVAWHgQRd7eTbwyXWlLj4tktmIVYrwDSe36P50Z7pqzKVwbExAaXhFZ8fDctxxS647hqOXmJ_1kij91w0PsnnTW8uSX9kBwxAdWixwo0jtjYivMUJ_uklLAG8iW33OJXkVK7hP/s1600-h/DSCF6594.JPG"><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span></a>Step 4<br />Read the instructions on your etching cream to know how long to let it sit. Mine only had to sit for a couple of minutes, but I was trying to multitask and ended up leaving it on for more like 10. Oops! Once the time is up, you can just rinse off the etching cream and peel away the vinyl.<br /><br /><br /><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLELSgsgDdyYKns_fUkp-pPxZ2CsXcvO1nDDYkvGXdjsbakBe-dyXtni5XVORIAe6yHfWRa8zHhpr1wtGyY_LfkBXSTjTqNvsBPPF7nuZkN-h2UBAYjf08g9XgYuXZGuHLyePMQK6WtXl/s1600-h/DSCF6602.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLELSgsgDdyYKns_fUkp-pPxZ2CsXcvO1nDDYkvGXdjsbakBe-dyXtni5XVORIAe6yHfWRa8zHhpr1wtGyY_LfkBXSTjTqNvsBPPF7nuZkN-h2UBAYjf08g9XgYuXZGuHLyePMQK6WtXl/s400/DSCF6602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442603222659698146" border="0" /></a></span></span>Here is the end result! <br /><br />***Tip*** While I used the 3x3 piece of vinyl to create the 3 etched hearts, you could also use the punched shapes to etch around them and create the opposite look.<br /><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span></span><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span></div><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjziYDOV-SyBp1C4JUVSkydv0Wbrhl4frYxqn8Ft0_aPqqTFbYXx0Tm0NYn7svwWe8Uo_4ZKiihxoKdqOq2DzAAYhSbu0lrr-pomYJs81ZT2hn3IAGRXd-ftn_b5QkoWImdAkyEVe0ekzPO/s1600-h/DSCF6615.JPG"><span id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_lblItemNumber"></span></a>Laura Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03261319278796225847noreply@blogger.com0
