Blog Candy, 100th How'd She DO That Video: Notepad & Pen Holder

Woohoo - I'm SO excited today, as I share my 100th How'd She DO That video!  I've actually done many more videos for private viewing by my DOstamperSTARS downline and club members.  But the How'd She DO That? videos are just for YOU!

It's been a wonderful experience learning how to create and share videos.  You've accepted mine into your hearts and minds, which I greatly appreciate.  I've learned a couple things about my videos from your comments and feedback:  

1.  I guess I have a nice, calm voice for video, as I've heard this over and over again.
2.  You like how I explain things in an easy and clear step by step format.    
3.  YOU LOVE VIDEOS!  Which is great, as I'm committed to doing more of them.

In celebration of my 100th video, I have BLOG CANDY! 

In fact...when you leave a comment on today's blog post, you'll be entered in a drawing to receive today's project (I'll select a winner on Tuesday, Feb 14th).   You'll receive both the Notepad & Pen Holder AND the matching card (from the Blossom/Modern Label Flower & Video posted here)

 

 

 Here's the Notepad & Pen Holder...

 

Notepad & Pen holder measurements:

• 8-1/2 x 10" Basic Black
• With 8-1/2" side at the top of the Simply Scored Tool - score 4-1/8" x 4-1/2" & 4-7/8"
• Turn and score 2" (with 10" side at the top of the Simply Scored Tool)

Check out the short video below for a demonstration and how-to assemble tips.

10-Min Tuesday Video: Everyday Enchantment Get Well and Punch Tip

Slowing but surely, I've been getting through my Stampin' Up! Leadership presentation cards.  I've been experiencing computer troubles with my camera card reader - so that has really slowed me down.  But I hope to get the rest of them photographed and shared soon.

Today's card and 10-Minute Tuesday Video is a great use for the Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration Hostess Bundle:  Fresh Vintage Stamp Set, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack!  With a $400 party - this three items are yours for free. 

I'm enjoying the patchwork feel to this card - this time with a whimsical twist.  Also - if you look closely at the "flowers", they are punched with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.

For tips on aligning the punch with the image and more, check out my video below.  It's a 10-Minute Tuesday Video...yes, I know it's Wednesday.  Enjoy!

NEW Fashionable Hearts Embosslit Puzzle Card Video!

Looking for another way to use your new Fashionable Hearts Embosslit?  Here's a Puzzle Card featuring Red Glimmer Paper.  Perfect for Valentine's Day! 

While looking for inspiration on Stampin' Connection (a Stampin' Up! website for demonstrators), I came across a card made by fellow demonstrator Carrie Gaskin.  Her use of the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit was pure genius...which was the inspiration for today's card.  Take a look at my "Fashionable Hearts Puzzle" card...

I love the look of the "inlaid hearts" to resemble a puzzle, which were cut with Pink Pirouette, Red Glimmer Paper and Very Vanilla.  Like I said, "genius"! 

I also used the brand new Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which comes with 3 embossed designs (hearts, bracket edge and scallop edge).

For tips on creating the Fashionable Hearts Puzzle focal point, watch...

Oh my gosh, if my Big Shot Club Members reaction is any indication...you're gonna love today's card.  It's a Framelit Butterfly Window card.  And it was a huge hit with my Big Shot Club Members!  If you're a TO GO Big Shot Club Member - the class packets are going in the mail tomorrow!  So you won't have to wait long to make one of your very own Butterfly Window cards!

This card was one of the projects I shared during my Stampin' Up! Leadership Sale-A-Bration Presentation.  It features the beautiful Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (a must-have) and the Ribbon/Brad pack.  Both are free Sale-a-Bration choices from now until March 31, 2012 when you place a $50 order. 

I had so much fun designing this card.  Despite that it looks like it might be complicated - it's actually quite easy to make.  In fact - so many people have fallen completely in love with it, they are purchasing everything to make more on their own!
