Hi Stampin Friends (and lurkers who should give this joy a try!). Earlier today (like every day) while getting my day started, I was watching a utube video made by a very perky and talented lady. She was demoing how to make a card using a particular layout when she decided to add a punched tag to the card. Great idea! But I was horrified when she grabbed a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 piece of cardstock and a 2" handheld punch. She shoved the whole punch all the way into the center of the cardstock and punched once. Aaauuuggghhh!
I am not a million dollar sales person in part because I try always to guide stampers to make their works of (he)art in the thriftiest way possible. No waste, no unnecessary weight on your card increasing your postage. Yes multiple layers are wonderful but if adding those layers delays you sending the card to a person who needs cheering, I say, skip some of the layers and get that baby out in the mail!!! Sorry...honest but true. I once knew a stamper who so outdid her creations that she intimidated others and scared them away from this generous craft. I like to stamp out isolation and mail joy. Wouldn't you like to be the source of joy for someone else, too. Right now Stampin' Up has selected designer series papers on sale. I love to save a bit on my supplies. Go to peggyouten.stampinup.net to shop....or join me at one of my classes. Next class Aug 30 at 2pm.
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I teach others how to be creative using high quality stamps, ink, and paper, as well as embellishments, specialized tools, beautiful project kits, and more. I help you take the guesswork out of coordination so you can have an amazing crafting experience, no matter y...
