Tips for Thursdays

Today I don't have any pictures for you but I do have a great adhesive tip!

Glue Dots are great for sticking ribbon, buttons, chipboard

and other embellishments to your projects.  

But what do you do when you decide you need to adjust the embellishment and the Glue Dot has already adhered quite well?

Answer:

Grab your heat embossing tool, heat the dot and it will loosen up and come right up!

Technique Tuesdays

Yesterday I showed you this simple and sweet Thanks card

The "So Grateful" stamp set has the word image "Thanksgiving"

but I wanted to just stamp "Thanks."

So I grabbed my handy dandy Scotch tape and went to work .

First I covered "giving" on the stamp with a piece of tape.

Inked it up as normal

Pulled off the tape

and stamped the inked portion on my card.

Just another handy technique using something you always have on hand.

Simple and sweet!

This 4"x4" Thanks card was a simple to make and inspired by the card in the

Close To My Heart Fall 2011 idea book for the So Grateful stamp set.

Come back tomorrow to check out the technique I used to alter one of the stamps in this set.  I promise you have this tool at home too!

Fun on Fridays

One of my friends at work is having a baby! 

A few of us threw her a shower and I was in charge of

decorations and the card.

Here is what I came up with!

I didn't make the cake but it is so stinking cute I had to share it!

Have a great weekend!
