Cardmaking is my jam! I enjoy using rubber stamps and scrapbooking materials to make my own homemade cards. I use Stampin' Up products for a lot of my cards.
You can use Facebook groups to find other scrapbookers or stampers to share ideas with. But if you want to actually get together with others, try Meetup.
If you are into scrapbooking and/or rubber stamping, chances are you have a brayer. I have one. It's still in the box. Still hasn't been used. I have yet to be inspired. So what am I supposed to do with this thing?
A good friend of mine wanted to make handmade Baby Shower invitations and came up with a dilemma - How can you make sure that the guests know that the excited Mother-to-be is expecting TWIN BOYS?
Here is a quick Easter treat bag idea, using punched-out flowers for a springtime feel. Plus links to other Stampin' Up Easter bags, pouches, boxes, and treat holders.
If you're like me you have sheets of rub-ons that are half-full -- in the same box as the half-used sheets of stickers. Now that Stampin' Up has rub-ons that coordinate with their stamp sets, there is a new technique using the new product.
In an effort to share some other ideas about how my work space is set up, I'm going to post a few articles that might give you some new ideas. In turn, I would love for you to share your ideas as well.
Here is an idea for a Valentine Treat bag for giving away treats. If you have a small heart punch and some cardstock, you're ready. The best part is that it requires no stamping and can literally be done in less than 10 minutes!
If you have any stamps with line images, you can create a page or card using the paper piecing technique. Images are typically colored with marker, watercolor pencils, chalk, etc., then cut out and arranged. Stampin' Up has a great sample using the Happy Heart Day stamp set.
The Christmas Holiday is over, and I missed out on getting handmade cards out to many of my friends and family. As a way to make up for that -- at least in my mind I can make up for it -- I can send out a handmade Thank You card for those who's gifts meant so much to me.
This morning on the Today Show, they were discussing if it is 'ok' to recycle gifts. I typically don't recycle gifts, but I am guilty of recycling gift cards. This is the season for gift cards, so if you have stamping or scrapbooking supplies....this one is for you.
Your kids can help with this card idea - using a snowflake punch, 'make' some snowflakes that they can glue to cards to create their own designs for giving to friends, teachers, or anyone else who is special in their life.
