Golden Honey One Sheet Wonder!!!

Posted on by

Happy Tuesday!!! Today’s Technique Tuesday is the Golden Honey One Sheet Wonder!!! I know how much you all love One Sheet Wonders so I hope you enjoy this one too!!!

All 9 of these cards were created with 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ Golden Honey Designer Series Paper!!! I used both sides of the paper so no struggle for which side to use!

The first cut was at 4″ creating a 4″ x 12″ strip which I then cut into 4″ x 4″ squares! This is the first 3 cards! I used the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set for all of the greetings!

Next, I cut a 2″ strip off. This creates a 2″ x 12″ piece that I then cut into 2″ x 4″ pieces. That first card was created by cutting the 2″ x 4″ into 2″ squares. I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the designer paper for even more variability. Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight were the colors I used on all of these cards!

Then, I cut a 5-1/4″ piece off which created a 5-1/4″ x 12″ piece. I cut this one into 4″ x 5-1/4″ and used it as backgrounds for my cards. Again, I colored in the flowers with Stampin’ Blends for some added flare!

The leftover strip is 3/4″ x 12″ and I cut it into 2 pieces to decorate the inside of the 2 cards! One strip is 4″ x 3/4″ and the other is 5-1/4″ x 3/4″. Perfect way to use up every bit of the paper!

Stamping Tips for Bonanza Buddies!!!

Posted on by

No one likes to get frustrated while stamping so today I’m sharing some stamping tips for Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set. Stamping should be all about fun and even therapy. Heck, stamping is therapeutic for me for sure! Let me know in the comments below if you enjoy stamping therapy!

Stamping Tips for Bonanza Buddies, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I have been loving the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set and playing with it a lot. Stay tuned because I will be sharing them on here! As I have been playing, I have come across a few tips that I would like to share!

The Stampin’ Pierce Mat has been my best friend recently. This mat makes stamping solid images or large images and getting a crisp nice stamped look. It may frustrate you or you may not even notice. When stamping an image and the color isn’t nice and solid but rather has white splotches on it….that’s when you need this handy dandy tool! For just $5, it’s amazing!!!

Another big tip is that while normally I stamp and then die cut, sometimes that’s not always the way to go. When I stamped the balloons in this set and then die cut them, it moved and my balloon was off. I die cut a white scrap and stamped it and NAILED IT! Now that doesn’t happen every time but I was impressed with myself. Also, remember that every piece of paper has 2 sides so you get a second chance! 🙂 Thank you paper! Another way to keep your die from moving on your cardstock while cranking it through is to use a post-it not to hold it in place!

New Year’s Resolution??

Posted on by

Do you have a New Year’s Resolution? Are you still going strong? I usually have one but not really this year. Sure I have goals for the year and lists of lists but that’s normal for every day/week/month/year for me. One of the things I like to do every January though is re-ink all of the ink pads!

New Year's Resolution, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Probably because I’m an OCD freak and like to do everything together or it will mess up the universe…told you I’m crazy! I like to re-ink all of my ink pads at the same time so I know they are all fresh and ready to go as of X date (aka January). Sure some of them might not need a lot or any ink but checking and inking helps keep the pads fresh and ready to go. I do re-ink pads other times throughout the year after using them a lot or to fix a color stain or something.

So gather all of your ink pads and ink refills and let’s reink all of them together now! If you don’t have the ink refills, click here to get them!

Sale-A-Bration is going on right now. That means for every $50 you spend (increments of $50) you will earn a FREE item of your choice from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Now is a great time to stock up on ink refills, cardstock, envelopes, adhesive, and of course all those items on your wish list. If you order is over $150, you will earn Free stuff as a Hostess. Reach $300 and you will also get the exclusive Ladybug Stamp Set for FREE on top of everything else! How amazing is that?!?!?! Start shopping now!

But wait….there is more! As a customer of mine, there are special perks! For every $40 you spend, you will be earning Laura’s Loyal Stampers Stickers. After 10 stickers, you get a $40 gift certificate from me! Hello Shopping Spree! You will also get the Free Stamp Set of the Month when you order $75 or more in a month! Woot Woot! It’s great to be a stamper with me!

Check out the video below or click here to see tips for re-inking your ink pads! Check off that New Year’s Resolution to keep on task and organized! 🙂 Be sure to give the video a thumbs up if you liked it and don’t forget to subscribe if you are new.

Tropical Oasis Designer Paper!!!

Posted on by

Christmas is over and I’m ready for Spring…..or a Tropical Oasis would work!!! I guess since there is nothing in the plans, I’ll just stare at this paper and dream! 🙂 Check it out!!!

Tropical Oasis, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Yum Yum Yummy!!! This paper makes me happy! The tropical flowers are stunning and just scream warm weather. If you are just starting to follow me, you must know I love Spring and Summer. Warmer weather and sunshine is my jam. I don’t live near the beach so some of the images feel a little off to me but I can always use the other side. We are going to Hawaii in July so they can be used to scrapbook that trip or for cards then! By the way, send me any traveling tips for Hawaii. I need them all! 🙂

Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper!!!

Posted on by

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I am not posting a lot this week but I do still have my designer paper reveals going on my YouTube Channel. Today, I’m sharing the Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper!!!

Peaceful Poppies, www.LaurasStampPad.com

You all know how I love flowers so of course I’m loving this paper. The colors are stunning as well with those bright reds and purples. I’m not so sure how I feel about combining red and purple but I can always use the other side. I really love the solid colored prints on the back side of the paper as well. It makes this paper versatile for lots of occasions. While this paper may seem more feminine with the flower prints, those green stripes would make a fabulous man card!
