Make it Monday with Tie Dye!

Hi Everyone,

Well it's the perfect time to go back to simpler times with long hair and tie dyed shirts, bags, and more! Stampin' Up! has a great new background stamp called Spiral Dye and it's super fun to use.  

I created this wonderful birthday card using the Stamparatus to get the two colors. I first used Fresh Freesia and then Pale Papaya (2 new In-Colors). I lined up the stamp on the cardstock and then inked up with Fresh Freesia and stamped. Then I slightly moved the cardstock over and then down a little. I inked up with Pale Papaya and stamped again. You can move the cardstock as much as you want to spread out the color the way you like.

I absolutely love the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set! It looks so great stamped here.

I hope you liked my card today. Be careful and don't stare too long, you may get sucked in :) Have you heard about the 2 great promotions going on this month?

Finding Inspiration Friday with Stamparatus Tips and Tricks

Hi Everyone,

OMG! I can't even tell you how inspired I have become with the Flowers for Every Season DSP! I'm glad you are with me today because I have a great tip for you with punches that have more than one image to punch. These are called "Builder Punches".

I created 8 of the same card for some friends and usually I would waste a lot of cardstock by stamping out one umbrella, punching, and then repeat. Not only is that wasteful, it takes a long time to create multiple cards. I created a fun video for you sharing a great trick for punching the multiple images all at once by using the Stamparatus. 

The Stamparatus is a great tool that can make your stamping quick and easy as well as keeping your sanity when you want to line things up perfectly. I just recently began to use some templates for fun results.

If you have the Stamparatus, try out this technique and let me know how it worked for you. 

I'm thinking of the new and very cute Whale Builder Punch for this technique. There are several other builder punches too like the Tulip Builder, Apple Builder, Snowman Builder, and the Vases Builder and the wonderful Butterfly Duet Punch(and lions and tigers and bears, oh my)! So many ways to create lots of cards quickly and easily.

Thanks again for stopping in today and sharing my inspiration. I hope you have time to be inspired as well. Share any of your projects, I'd love to see what inspires you. Be sure to check out any events, specials, or prize opportunities going on this month. 

During the month of June, when you host or order $250 you double your hostess rewards to $50! You can also apply these host dollars to your starter kit

When you join during the month of June, you can also pick any free bundle. Choose $125 of product for $99 and then pick a bundle, Wow! Want to host a workshop and apply your host dollars towards a starter kit? That's a win/win!

Happy Stampin'
