MDS – My Digital Studio Monday – Edgelit, Framelit and Embossing Folder DVD Storage

Our DVDS storage cases are perfect for our upcoming new Edgelits, framelits and embossing borders (technically textured impressions folders but their size has me calling them embossing borders).

All 3 Folders use new 2012 Mini Digital Downloads that will be available on January 4th.   In addition the same product will be available as traditional designer paper, stamps.

Those who attended my DDDR event this past weekend all received one as a gift and those in my Stamp of the Month Club will receive one each month January-February-March with their Stamp of the Month Club Purchases.  Hope you are on my mailing list and make plans now to join my Stamp of the Month Club.

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE CREATE THE FRAMELIT DVD STORAGE CASE TOGETHER in My Digital Studio…

TIP – I used magnetic sheets that Stampin’UP! has on page 216 in the Big Idea book and catalog. I tried “other brands” because I wanted to use them up and found the magnetic hold wasn’t sufficient to really grab the framelits and edgelits.

Here is what the DVD case inserts look like when they come off my printer. I print full 8.5 x 11 sheets and simply trim the right edge and bottom edge to fit the case.

GET ORGANIZED – the following DVD’s are available for SALE – cost is $9.99 each – includes DVD/Insert/Shipping/Tax.Linen Thread and Bakers twine include magnetic strip on inside left cover to keep needle handy for use in threading these thinner materials.
The above inserts will be available for sale beginning December 29th. Bookmark my site and check back.

*Indicate which DVD cases you would like in the notes section – CHOICES – LINEN THREAD, BAKERS TWINE, RHINESTONES, PEARLS, GRID, CLEANING CLOTH, SHAKER FRAMES, STITCHED FELT.

Get Organized with Clear Mount DVD Cases Part II – CLEAR MOUNT PROJECTS #5

Four Clear Mount DVD Cases weren’t enough to get me organized. I was on a roll when I was creating these and have this second set of 4 to show you. I  love how it keeps my odds and ends in one place- like flowers I have dyed and colored (I always make a few extras) or my basic tools for a home party/crop/class. And as i mentioned before I love the look of them all lined up on my Bling Bar.  I tend to like things labeled and in their place so this makes me happy. I also take my business on the road and this makes it easy to take supplies to your house for an event, to a crop and to a friends house to stamp together.

RemARKable GOING GREEN BLOG TOUR DAY #1 – Big Shot Easter Table Runner

Welcome to another RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour – this time around we are focusing on Going Green. I am excited to see how the RemARKable’s embrace this idea in their projects.

I did a little web surfing for the definition of “GOING GREEN” and this is one that I found that I could relate to…

Going green is a popular term used to describe the process of changing one’s lifestyle for the safety and benefit of the environment. People who “go green” make decisions about their daily lives while considering what impact the outcome of those decisions may have on global warming, pollution, loss of animal habitats, and other environmental concerns.

I thought this definition was appropriate in that my project today focuses on using scraps & repurposing and anytime I can use scraps it benefits the Stamp World environment by decreasing the pile/boxes, etc.  One of the best ways to use scraps is to have them organized. If you can’t find it you can’t use it. In addition to sharing my projects with you the next 3 days I will be sharing with you how I organize my scraps so that I can use them. Now mind you Stampin’ UP! is my career, what I do full time, so between meetings, diva events, customer events, crops and more I have a TON of scraps to use.

USING SCRAPS – What to do with scraps 

REPURPOSED Pillow Cases – I couldn’t find what I wanted for Easter for my table so I created what I wanted from old Pink Pillow Cases. I incorporated The Large Scallop Oval For Big Shot (just the oval), Big Shot Serif Essentials Alphabet, Premium Cream Felt, Assorted Fabrics, Old Olive Satin Ribbon, Old Olive Wide Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Old Lace, Gotta Love fusible webbing it’s about the only time I like to iron.

Organization – Cardstock Scraps- I try to cut scraps into usuable sizes first – 1/4 sheet, 6×6, 3×3 – anything that is not this size goes into buckets you will see tomorrow. After cutting scraps to usable sizes they are sorted by color families. This makes it easy not only for me but guests at my Crop & Crafts, OPen Stamp events to make use of them. Before sorting my cs this way I always reached for a full sheet of cardstock first – this has sure helped me make use of what I have on hand.

See you tomorrow

Mixing Fabric & Stampin’ UP! – fat quarter storage

I love looking at fabric as much as I love looking at designer papers. There is just a ton of inspiration in the patterns, colors, textures and more. However it can be overwhelming – whoever invented fat quarters should win a Nobel Peace prize. For someone who either bought way too much fabric in the past because when you cut a piece off a bolt it looked like a small piece or didn’t cut any at all because walking the rows and rows of bolts was overwhelming- fat quarters are the perfect answer.

For crafters – these little quarters are perfect for your table runners, small bags, banners, doilies, and more.

Our Forget Me Not Keepers offer the perfect storage for your fat quarters… These sturdy yet collapsible when not in use containers include 12 tabbed dividers and measure 8 5/8 x 6 5/8 x 5. Add a few to your next order. At $11.95 they are perfect.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A STAMPIN” UP! Demonstrator when you stroll the fabric aisles armed with your catalog, ribbon and cardstock swatches, felt pieces and such looking for patterns that mimic our look, or are bashful blue, old olive, soft suede, crushed curry, night of navy – you get the picture. You can spot us a mile away in the fabric aisles. If you see us stop and say hi.

Ready for projects.. hmmm – what is JAN UP TO??
