The sheer volume of content that this kit warranted made me break up the video into two parts.

For Part one, I sped up some prep and stamping to keep it under thirty minutes and for part two I just gave up and let it go long.

The tips, tricks and designs make every minute of part two worthwhile.

Here is the link to part one ->...

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone. Go watch this video and hear why today is such a special day for me! This is part of a three card showcase honoring the 2018-2020 retiring in-colors. I do some live envelope and card inside stamping at the end so don't leave early!

I had grand ideas of stamping the inside and envelope in real time, but alas, I was not paying attention to placement and of course my work ended up off the screen, so...the introduction is rather abrupt. This is a great card design, the pin I used for inspiration is here -> pin link

I enjoyed creating this fancy card! The video focuses on the background, how I adhered the frames and then I check out its USPS mailing capabilities. It is a great avid design to send via mail. 

This year's game has one major change, there is no physical board! In addition there are no game pieces. I imagine the board and physical game pieces needed to be removed to eliminate the hand off of the board to redeem pieces for prizes.

You do still receive game tickets that have either a digital code, a discounted coupon or a free item coupon.

My video is informational only,...

This video dissects a many layers creation that is thicker than 1/4" USPS first class one ounce non-machinable criteria. I knew when I chose the pin to CASE that I would be going over the thickness, but this is my favorite type of card to make.

I made myself choose green or red, two colors I typically do not use with snowflake theme projects. I thought green would be a better fit. Here...

This is the final episode of this week, with one final avid card walkthrough. I continue with circles and multiple sentiments. Here is the pin I used for inspiration - > pin link.

So far this year I've spent a week with Hydrangea Haven, creating three videos and this week with Many Mates, creating six...

I wanted to use three sentiments lined up close together on one label. I used the Stamparatus to ensure perfect placement and during the walkthrough of the finished card I demonstrate my very low tech method of achieving perfect results. 

I also love this layout for the fourth of July! This card uses the Well Suited DSP, but solid cardstock will also work. Now I have two layouts...

We moved yesterday, back down to Oregon. We've been moving between two coastal towns all winter. So far our plan has worked and we've seen zero snow while our home area saw over a foot!

Today I am moving on to stepped up projects using bits and pieces from the Stamp With Me videos.

I decided to go ahead and dive into the coordinating die cuts on two of the stepped up projects. I...

The continued footage from yesterday shows more elaborate stamping options for a beginner. I speed up repeat stamping and coloring. Finally I show three different matting options and then give a sneak peek of one of my more stepped up projects. Tomorrow is a moving day so I will finish the embellishing of the three and we will get started on some stepped up casual projects.
