Hello!!!
I have heard from a few people that they weren’t sure how to stamp the designs from the SSD What a Swirl set and then cut them out using Spellbinders Nestabilities. I created a short video showing how I do this. I hope you find it helpful.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I really do love hearing from you all! :o)

Happy Monday!!!
Our current challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central is “Pink”. Yep! We want to see your PINK projects.
For today’s project, I chose to do a card using the sketch from Friday Sketchers. It’s a little busy to me….and I didn’t even add the ribbon. ;o)
Here is the sketch.
And this is the card I made with it. I think it looks like I slapped a bunch of stuff on there. Maybe I did - LOL. I have had my papers picked out, foil embossed & cut to size, stamped image colored and sentiment stamped, cut & embossed for about a week now. But, I just put the card together at about 7 pm on 2/20…..knowing it’s due on 2/21. *sigh* I need to learn to plan ahead better. LOL
For this project, I used:

And now for the Tutorial!!! :-)
Here are other projects I’ve used a similar foil technique on:

Yeah, so I know Valentine’s Day was a few days ago, but I mentioned on one of my Yahoo groups that I had done a Valentine’s Day card for my hubby and that I’d load it. One of the ladies (Anastasia) just asked me if I’d loaded it yet, so……………..here it is!
Items used on this card:
Very simple…..but he liked it! :o)
I’ve got a tutorial coming up on 2/21 to show how to do the “embossed foil technique”…please check back then.
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

1st Gilli blog Challenge – Hosted by Suzanne J. Dean
Now, on to my project…………..
For my blog hop project, I have created an easel card using Graduate Gilli. Isn’t she cute? Anary (Gilli creator) is such a talented lady and a real sweetheart.
Front view of my Gilli project.
View of my Gilli project opened up. I stamped Gilli again on the inside using Memento London Fog ink so it was more of a “watermarked” image on the inside.
From here, you are hopping off to Cindy Close – aka C2!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy “the hop”! :o)

Sorry I wasn’t able to upload photos while I was at CHA. My roomy, Janine, and I didn’t have internet access unless we wanted to pay $10 per day, per computer for us to be able to use it for a few hours a day. The other option (and yes, we tried) was to get the WiFi at the convention center…….for $50 a day!!! We opted not. ;o)
So, here are a few photos taken while I was there. I didn’t take a ton….I wish I had. Lesson learned for next time! And I’ll make some videos too!
Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza from DIY Network’s Creative Juices. I did a make & take at their booth. Both are very friendly and personable. He’s probably more on the friendly side than she is….but that’s probably expected, right?
Emma Lou from Heartfelt Creations and me. I adore their stamps and Emma Lou is SO sweet!! She even remembered me stalking visiting her booth at CKC in Texas! :o)
Tim Holtz demoing some tags.
Cute, cute decor element!
GORGEOUS PAPER DRESSES!!!
Mindy & I ready for our make & take time at the Spellbinders booth. We had some HILARIOUS people stop by our make & takes. HILARIOUS!!!!
Mindy doing a demo at the Stamping Scrapping booth.
Tim Holtz and me. Sheri took this picture. She took the first one, which was blurry, so I’m giving her the “snap it already!” look. LOL
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer – I stopped by her booth as well. She’s just as chatty in person as she is on TV. LOL
The next few photos are of the beautifully decorated Heartfelt Creations booth. All of these flowers are made using the Heartfelt Creations stamps and cut with Spellbinders dies. Yes! Even all of those flowers on the picket fence and in the birdbath are flowers made with their stamps. :o)
Freebie of the new Tropical Tangerine Stickles. So pretty!!
The next several photos are of the new Spellbinders dies. Good thing it wasn’t a consumer show. I’d have gone bankrupt on this booth alone!! LOL
Again, I wish I had taken more product photos, but there were signs and frequent announcements asking us not to take photos without the consent of the booth owner…and I have this fear of rejection, so I just don’t ask! *sigh*
Please stay safe and warm away from the elements this weekend!!
{hugs}
Happy Hump Day!
(who came UP with that saying??)
