Sharing "This & That" with TV Viewers & Washi Tape Notecard

It has been kind of a nutty week. I scrambled around to make samples and learn about our new This & That product line so that I could showcase these awesome new products on TV! That's right -- TV!! I made my first TV appearance on Friday during a five minute "Creative Corner" segment on our local afternoon talk show, ciLiving.

If you saw the show live, please leave me a comment and let me know! If you missed, you can watch the video online! I can't figure out to embed the video, so click on the image (or here) to view it on the ciLiving website.

Looking for the "This & That" About Me Journal Idea sheet that I mentioned during the segment? Click here to see Friday's post for details.

Here is the quick notecard that I demonstrated at the end of the segment. It's so easy! I used strips of the new washi tape from the "That & That" product line in the corner of one of the Notecards & Envelopes. Then I stamped the Sassy Salutations greeting in Basic Gray and added a little flower from Itty Bitty Punch Pack with a rhinestone in the the middle. You can even decorate the envelope to match!

This & That "About Me" Journal Idea Sheet

I am so excited about the new "This & That" product line from Stampin' Up! You can use the journal to capture your moments, thoughts, plans, ideas, sketches, hopes, dreams—a little bit of "This" and a little bit of "That"! I started mine as a "This & That" About Me journal. (Check out some of my pages at the end of this post.)

I love that all of the pages in the journal have pre-printed backgrounds. They are colorful and coordinate with the designer paper and stickers in the line. The journal has 30 two-page spreads. To help keep it from feeling overwhelming, I created a list of ideas you could include in your own "About Me" Journal. Click here to print your own list. (.pdf)

Using Up Leftovers: Wish Big, Take #2

I used the leftovers from the Smashed Pop Top Wish Big Card to create this one. I think I like the square layout as I did on the earlier card better, but I like the Designer paper in the background as it is on this card. Leave me a comment and let me know which one you prefer!

Punch Art Triangle Box Critters, Part 2

Thanks for all the great comments on yesterday's post! I love the little creative minds my kiddos have!

Punch Art Triangle Box Critters, Part 1

Remember those bunnies and chicks I posted last week? We have been busy making more! I sat at my desk with punches and cardstock scraps all around and the kids literally stood in line and took turns. They told me what animal they wanted to make and together, we figured out what shapes to use to make it. So fun!! There are the first four Punch Art Critters. I'll post the rest tomorrow!

Stamp of the Month Club: Patterned Party

I have been so busy sharing Sale-a-bration projects, that I haven't had a chance to share my Stamp of the Month Club pick for March: Patterned Party. (See it here.) I have wanted to use this stamp set for months. It looks great with bright colors for kids, but the images aren't too "kid-ish" that you could change up the colors and use it for grown-ups too! Well, you don't HAVE to change to colors...grown-ups like bright colors too! (wink)

 

This one is not my favorite of the three cards in the series, only because I love the other ones so very much! I like the "Spotlighting" technique on this card. You could highlight any of the numbers to fit the birthday kid. Making for a birthday grownup? Just add two circles!

Stay tuned! I'll be revealing the other two cards in the Patterned Party series -- with video tutorials -- in the next few days!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Patterned Party stamp set, Island Indigo marker & cardstock, Lucky Limeade ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Summer Smooches Designer Paper, 1" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Top Note Die (Big Shot), Stampin' Dimensionals
