Tips- Adhere the sequins according to the rule of odds. The “rule of odds” suggests that an odd number of subjects in an image is more interesting than an even number. Thus the suggestion is to choose an arrangement with at least three subjects, hence we have three sequins. A triangular format creates a sense of stability and strength, therefore the sequins are placed in a triangular formation. Who knew you could put so much thought into where to place the sequins and how many should be used? What happens when one sequin falls off in the mail? Both rules are violated as we are left with two sequins in a line and the card automatically self-destructs! 🙂 If I send you a card and one sequin has fallen off, look for it in the envelope and reapply with a glue dot. 🙂

Another Tip- Always use Momento ink with Stampin’ Blends. Always us Stazon ink when watercoloring.

Did you notice anything wrong with the picture above? Me neither. I showed both Stampin’ Write markers and Stampin’ Blends because I thought both were used in the coloring of the cakes. Silly me! Why is it I don’t know what was used to color the cakes? I guess I should admit that I didn’t color them. Abby corrected me when she saw the picture and would like you to know that all the cakes were colored with only Stampin’ Blends. 🙂

Thanks Abby for coloring at least 15 cakes for me! I’m going to miss you so much when you go back to college this weekend and not just because you emptied the dishwasher every day for a month, wrapped all the Christmas presents and helped me with lots of things way more than your brothers! Love you Abby Dazzle! 🙂

Here’s more projects others have made with the Cake Builder Punch and Piece of Cake stamp set.

Please head over to Festive Friday Challenge and join us. You can make a humorous card or card with stitching or both.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Stampin’ Up Valentine Triangle Boxes

Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy.

You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

These sweet Valentine Triangle boxes are simple and easy to make. They are the perfect size for giving a Lindt truffle or something small from Tiffany’s… just kidding! Steve, Abby, Keegan and I just spent five days in NYC going to Broadway shows. We visited Swarovski, but not Tiffany’s. 🙂 To see picture directions to make the triangle box, look near the end of last year’s post. Click here

It’s time for my 2019 Occasions Catalog Shares

If you’d like to be in my first round of shares email me today, so you can be included in my first order!

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares I’ve done:

“Beth, I just now had time to open my holiday share. You did a wonderful job of separating all the paper and the ribbon and packaging everything. I know you spent a lot of time and effort. Everything is so perfect, I can’t wait to start crafting. Thanks again for the share. Donna”

“Beth, the paper share looks great. Thanks for all the careful labeling and packaging. I love all the papers. Also, the fast delivery. Thanks, Nancy”

Why participate in shares? Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself. Customers and Demos alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog. When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to make it because you bought the “I want it all” share!

How Shares Work

Simply EMAIL ME (Beth@StampingMom.com) to reserve your spot in a share. I will then ask you to send me the money via PayPal, or you may send a check.
Once I receive the products, I will cut, count, measure and package up your goodies pronto!
Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags. Your shares will be sent out via the US Postal Service.
Please note my paper shares are 6″ x 12″ for most designs. A lot of people do 6″ x 6″, so you are getting twice as much paper with my shares.
You can choose a Paper Share or an I Want It All Share.

Unfortunately the window in my Sunroom cracked today. Sean walked in this afternoon and saw my patch job of duct tape trying to hold the window together. He said, “I once saw a show, ‘5 Sure Signs You’re A Redneck,’ and I’m pretty sure we would qualify now since you’ve used duct tape to hold the window together.” OK, maybe he has a point… The bad news is my two year old window is cracked. The good news is, I called Renewal by Anderson in Valley Junction where we bought the windows, and it is fully covered by the warranty and will cost me nothing to replace! Yeah! If you live in the Des Moines area I totally recommend getting your window replacements from these fine folks. 🙂 Now I’m debating if I should tell my new neighbors in the red house that we will get a new window in a few weeks or should I just let them wonder if they did indeed move next door to folks who fix broken windows with duct tape! 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
