Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I had seen another Demo had done her own DIY for storing her Stampin' Blends along with the old Blendabilities Stampin' Up! used to have. I really liked her idea and decided to give it a try for myself. I didn't need it to be as big as what she did but used the idea for mine. The original idea is by Cathy Pinchbeck and I seen it in the Facebook group Demonstrator Planning Place! An amazing group of Demonstrators always ready to help in any way they can! I don't know if she posted her project on her blog but here is the blog to check out anyway!      When I posted my project to the group, everyone asked for instructions... There really aren't any exact measurements as it all depends on how big you want yours to be. Mine is half of what hers was. So using the Acetate Card Boxes, I stacked 9 high and hers was 2 wide as well. You can see mine isn't quite full but it will be soon enough. I am really liking the Blends! I didn't think I would but I have com...

     I finally had a chance to play with the Blended Seasons Bundle that is exclusively available only for August and while supplies last! This is a great bundle for any season or occasion really... just find the right sentiment and away you go 😃  Click the shop now button and get your own before they are gone for good!       The first card I did was a Sympathy Card for a friend who lost a loved one. I wanted something simple yet pretty and also wanted to use the Stitched All Around bundle. Also a very versatile set, Stampin' Up! is coming out with quite a few in my opinion.      There isn't really much for instruction for this card... It's pretty straight forward, but I will do the best I can to explain how I did it.  The flowers were colored with the new water color pencils that are also available for a limited time as of yet. I just colored in the center and used a blender pen to color it out a bit.  I fussy cut them out ...

     I thought these were absolutely adorable when I saw the Original Video on how to make these. It is done by Angela Pyjas @ Stamping with Amore. I can see me loving all her other Christmas In July projects!! Check out her video on YouTube with the link I posted above or visit her website.      I decided to do a slightly smaller on as well just to see how they looked. They turned out great as well and fit the Hand Sanitizers from Bath & Body Works... BONUS!      The measurements for the box that the larger jars fit on is cut to 3" x 6" then Score in the Portrait Position at 1" then turn to the Landscape position and score at 1.5", 2.5", 4" & 5"  You will want to cut the little square in the bottom corner seen here... I apologize for the mess on my work surface but we all know how that can go 😉      I can't wait till Wednesday when everyone can order the Blended Seasons Bundle and the new Wate...

     I loved the look of these awesome little Narrow Note Cards when I saw them in the Stampin' Success Magazine that we Demos receive in the mail every quarter! They are so good to us Demos by giving us new ideas and instructions for some of the projects as well... this was one of them!      I also learnt an awesome new and extremely simple technique that I can't believe I never thought of... To get the cool 2 tone look of the flower and leaf image, you just ink in your lightest color first and then use a sponge dauber with the darker color and just daub it on where ever you want the other color 😃 it's GREAT! I will definitely be using that in MANY more cards!      Other than that little tid bit of info... I think the card is pretty ease to CASE from here. If you have any questions though, please don't hesitate to ask 😊 Product List Big Shot [ 143263 ] $150.00 Big Shot Magnetic Platform [ 130658 ] $49....
