Hi! I'm just back from a long weekend in Austin, TX, where Glenn, Nicole and I attended a workshop for parents and young adults on the Autism Spectrum. Learned several new things and had a good time connecting with others who are in similar situations as our family. But now I'm back, and as far as I know, finally finished with my travel-every-two-weeks series of adventures. I do enjoy traveling a lot, but I'm ready to settle into my crafting and cooking/baking push for the holidays! One of my favorite things to make is ornaments, and I was very pleased to see the Decorative Ornaments set debut in this year's Holiday Catalog. Until now, such intricate dies led us to use wax paper or dryer sheets to help us get out the cut card stock and ease removal of the little bits that make the pattern. Stampin' Up! and Sizzix have introduced a Precision Base Plate that really help with this process. I've given it a try on several projects, and can now heartily endorse it.
Here are a couple of videos from Stampin' Up! to help you understand how it's meant to be used, and to learn some tips and tricks! The third video is a long, step-by-step tutorial by a British demonstrator on making a 3-D ornament using these Thinlits. Let me know if you think we should make one in December! Last Call for Christmas Stamp-A-Stack! I've got a couple of spaces left for each session...Let me know ASAP if you'd like to attend! Each attendee will make 5 of each of these designs...imagine going home with 25 cards ready to mail out before Thanksgiving!

Meet NancyI've been paper-crafting since 2006, and an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator since 2010. I love sharing my craft with others, either through classes or by creating special cards and gifts that meet their needs. Join me in creating fun! Archives
