Good Morning! Today is a different post for me as I am out of town and did not plan on being away.
If you follow my blog, I have blogged about my friend Ted that has been very ill. Well sadly, he has taken a turn for the worse and being that it was his son Birthday on Monday, (Brandon –remember I did a card for him)I drove down to Ted's hometown to be with the family and I needed to stay for another day to help the family! It truIy meant a lot to Brandon that I came down.
Have no fear – this is what I love about being a part of Stampin' Up! – I can blog from wherever I am and the best thing I am able to watch videos and share them with you with some comments….so I hope that you find something useful from today's post!
I want to touch on some of the great resources that Stampin' Up! has that I truly find useful…Please go to You Tube and subscribe to Stampin' Ups! You Tube Channel….there is a wealth of information there and I am going to highlight some of the products that I simply think are going to be a huge hit! Let's go!
Please click here and watch this video. I find that watching these videos are a HUGE help before I tackle trying to figure it out myself…(that type A person in me sometimes does not have the patience!)
- The sky is the limit of the sizes you can make…the color you choose and the new Under the Tree Speciality Paper works GREAT with this as it is a "heavier" weight of paper…plus it is super cute!
Next…a product that has been and will continue to be SUPER popular – the Wonderous Wreath Bundle! This is a fantastic bundle and I am sure that you have seen many samples with it! Please click here to see a post I did several days ago!
Please click here to watch another great Video on this product! Here are some of the things that I love about it!
- You are not limited to just the holiday season, you can make it a fall wreath a beautiful Spring Wreath is pink, yellows and greens etc…
- These framlits of joy and noel as fabulous…keep things super simple…let the word be your focal point!
Lastly for today I wanted to point out something on my shopping website that I have not played around with as I never noticed it before and WOW – I like it….it is a section called "Shop By Solution" Click here to see it! Why do I like it?
- I like the way it breaks down products to specific themes
- Remember to also use the search space to look up specific stamp sets etc…just type in the key words!
Another tip…if you have a specific stamp set you want to use and you are just having a mental road block…simply google that specific stamp name and PRESTO – ideas galore and then there is Pinterest….oh my we all love pinterest!
Thanks for popping in and I hope that you check out the videos and enjoyed the tips I shared with you! I am hoping to be back home tomorrow but no worries – tomorrow is PPA Challenge and I already had that post completed!
Please keep Ted in your thoughts…he has fought a courageous battle…
Until tomorrow!
