It can't more masculine than that! The main image was stamped using the Basic Black Craft Ink pad because I wanted a dark bold look and used the heat gun to speed up the drying time. After it was dried I… Read More »

Placing Proper Value on Your Stamping Business – by John Sanpietro, Certified Professional Development CoachMy clients have a sadistic side. They know there are certain things I'm going to come down hard on them for doing. I'm happy to say that, for the most part, the people I work with usually avoid doing any of them. However, there are many examples of these bad business practices out there for all… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Well, I was a good girl today and decided to stay home and work a little (making up for Wednesday's and Thursday's hooky! (LOL)). Yes, Lisa – you'r right. I can't play hooky every day – I don't think my customers would like that! It's so nice to know that some of my readers actually read my blog. Love you man! This card is for Friday's… Read More »

Yesterday, Jane and I went to breakfast and then shopped for clothes. That's one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!- you are your own boss and you can set your… Read More »

Or perhaps you need the money to pay a household bill – whatever the reason there is a way to earn that $300. Whether you'd like to earn money to pay for Christmas or for your stamping supplies, create a full or… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers I'm not really sure what this technique is called but Virginia Killmore demonstrated it at the LNS Pre-convention WOW class this summer. It's where you add ink to a craft cloth and then lay your Whisper White card stock on it and move it around on the cloth. Since this technique will be shown to my ladies on Friday, 3 September 2010, I'll post a video after the class… Read More »
