Christmas Movies by Stampin' Up!

Yep! Working on my newsletter and the tutorial is a biggie this time! Sooooo, enjoy a Christmas movie or two on me. No, they're not Hallmark Christmas movies, but to a stamper - a Stampin' Up! Christmas movie is better, right? The plot isn't quite so predictable! (But I still binge on the Hallmark ones when I'm doing my Christmas cards or putting together craft projects late at night!)


Here's one that shows you the 25 Stampin' Up! products from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue that are under $30 - great gifts for Craft friends. Ideal stocking stuffers for family! Contact me if you see something that interests you. Go to

Stampin' Up! Cinema

I'm busy this week babysitting two adorable grandkids, Kesten and Cedar, so not much time for blog posts. My hat is off to moms of little ones who work and still manage to blog regularly! You're amazing! I thought you might enjoy some Stampin' Up! videos today, so grab a comfy pillow and some popcorn and cocoa and enjoy:

These four videos all have to do with how to use the new Stamparatus. I thought, since some of you have just received yours from the 2nd Reservation Window, that these might come in handy. For those of you who weren't able to reserve one yet, take heart, only 2 more months until you can buy one from the 2018 - 19 Annual Catalogue:

Stamparatus Technique Series: Video #1: Precision Placement of Stamps

       


Stamparatus Technique Series: Video #2: Aligning with Red Rubber Stamps

       


Stamparatus Technique Series: Video #3: Creating Patterns with the Hinge Step Technique

       

Stamparatus Technique Series: Video #4: Stamping on Pre-Die Cut Pieces

       

Hope these were informative and enjoyable! Ciao!

Movie Placebo

I was unexpectedly called away last night, due to a family illness, and didn't have anything prepared for the blog post today or tomorrow, so I'm going to do a couple of blog tricks for when you have nothing to show...a Movie Placebo and a card review! You knew that all along right? Or did I just fill you in on one or two of bloggers' favourite tricks?

Anyway. Stampin' Up! makes it easy with their awesome Youtube Channel. First up, a video tutorial on a stamp set and bundle that I didn't buy this year, but one you may just love - the Bear Hugs bundle! Watch as Andrea Withers shows you how to use it:




           

Wasn't that fun? Now, did you know that Stampin' Up! brought out some pop-up Happy Birthday Thinlits? Watch carefully to see how to use the Party Pop Up Thinlit dies! Andrea Withers again presenting:


         

I'm planning on having a sample of a pop-up card on my blog soon, using this bundle! And now, here's a video of Stampin' Up!'s latest Project Life product: Memories in the Making Card Collection, this time presented by Carrie Cudney:

 
          


Finally. this is a video for a stamp set I just love from the 2016 Occasions Catalogue, Picture Perfect:

          

Isn't Brandi Barnard adorable?  Hope you enjoyed these excellent videos!

Gallery Day at Playing with Papercrafting

   Today is likely the day I'm heading home from Nakusp where I spent Christmas with my youngest daughter and her family, and as I'm on the road, I thought it would be a good day for some Stampin' Up! movies and some family Christmas Pictures!  Enjoy! And let me know what you got for Christmas!
