Retiring Stampin' Up! Products--New Files

I have changed the files listed here because I found out that they included many stamps that were staying but that are converting from clear mount to the stickier cling mount..only!  Also, all sets in this catalog, even if they are staying will lose their bundled pricing...I've deleted those from this list as well.    These lists contain only items that are being retired on June 2nd or when supplies run out.

Designer Purse/Bag Tuturial

I made some of these as gifts last year around Christmas.  I ended up giving them all away before I did a tutorial.  Recently one of the recipients asked me for the pattern and because I had seen it done by another demonstrator, and I couldn't find any info on her site, I decided to see if I could recreate from memory.

Here is my file with pictures, and measurements so that you can quickly make one of your own.

Great to give a 

stack of cards or store a project you are working on!

Gorgeous Lace Folder--sponging technique

What can be better than paper that has a raised design?  I think I know!  Paper that has a raised design that pops out at you.  I think this sample from the Occasions catalog shows off this gorgeous embossing folder best!  You can see the intricate details brought out by sponging Craft White Ink gently over the design.  

Technique:  Let me just say that first you have to ink your uninked Craft White Pad.  This is to ensure that there is no ink leakage during transport to your house.  Just gently squeeze the bottle as you move the nozzle over the uninked pad, working the ink into the pad as you go.  You may need to add a bit more the next time you use because it will have had time to settle and it's tough to know exactly how much to add.  I try to completely cover but not too much that the ink will no longer sink into the pad.

Then, gently tap your sponge dauber onto the pad.....MY tip: I would then lightly tap it on scrap paper to see how much ink is on it....you don't want too much for this technique....Then burnish (use a circular motion) the ink onto your embossed design.

Here are a few of the items they used on this pretty card!
