Questions About Envelope Liner Tutorial....

Good Morning Stampers,

There have been some questions that have come up since releasing the Envelope Liner Tutorial that I would like to answer for all of you.

1. Are you using a special non-Stampin' Up! product to create these liners?  No, I am not I am using a special template product.  I am using a math formula to get the measurements for the envelope liner.  This formula will allow you to create envelope liners for any sized envelope.

2. Are you tracing around the envelope onto the metal sheet?  No, I am not.  When working with metal sheets it is important to get that measurement exact especially when creating envelope liners so that you don't damage the metal sheets.

3.  What makes your Envelope Liner Tutorial different from other tutorials I have seen for creating envelope liners?  Well, you are working with a different medium and there are steps and tips that you need to follow in order to be able to create these envelope liners that you can't get from the traditional envelope liner tutorials.  If you don't follow these steps and tips, you will ruin the metal sheet and not get the same effect you would by following the steps and tips found in this tutorial. It is like working with paper but not in the same way because it is metal and bends differently when working with it.

Hope this answers your questions and please feel free to email me if you have any more questions.  Meanwhile, go ahead and visit the post below to see more details about the Envelope Liner Tutorial that is available for purchase.  I promise you won't be disappointed. 

I hope you enjoyed this additional sneek peek of the one of the 14 envelope liners that can be found in the tutorial.  This is the Spiced Rum Metal Sheet.  Isn't it gorgeous?

Have a dazzling weekend!

Bella Bleu Handmade Envelope and Homemade Glue

Good Evening Stampers,

Today, I would like to share with you how to make your own envelope.  Many of you have emailed me saying you can't wait until I post it.  Well, here it  is!  It isn't difficult to make, but I had to make sure the formulas were right and that I made it user friendly as it can get confusing.  I rechecked and did it myself just to make sure. I  have provided a worksheet that you can print out so you can figure out the measurements for the envelope of whatever card you create.  I had to get in my teacher mode and type up the worksheet as I did when I taught middle school math.  Oh!! I almost forgot to tell you this tutorial also includes a recipe for making your own homemade glue for your handmade envelopes.  I love it!! You will too!!!

I used the Bella Blue Designer Series Paper to create this beautiful envelope.  I love the versatility that having this tutorial provides as you can create unique envelopes that are dazzling. You can take all that leftover designer series paper and create a dazzling envelope.

 I didn't post the matching envelope for this week's card and you will see why tomorrow.  You are going to flip at the envelope liners that you can create.  Wait until you see how unique these are. There is a formula so you can create liners for any size envelope.  I promise you have never seen liners like the ones I will show you tomorrow. They are to die for!! I mean it.  When we made them in club this week, none of the members wanted to give their cards away because the envelope added the finishing touch to the card.  They looked so elegant! I can't wait to show you tomorrow.  Today's tutorial is 6 pages long and I have provided a mini math lesson at the beginning of the tutorial.  It is important that you learn this rule as this is the GOLDEN MATH RULE for making these envelopes.  So what are you waiting for? Download your file, take out some designer series paper, dig through your cupboard and get ready to create dazzling envelopes and homemade glue.  Have fun!

Vintage Vogue Stationery Sheet

Good Morning Stampers,

I am so excited to share with you today's project which is stationery.  This stationery was created at the request of one of my club members for her club meeting this week.  Honestly, I wasn't too sure about her original request, and I tried to sway her to another project but no luck.  This is what she wanted.  I am so happy she didn't give in to me as I am very excited about how it turned out.  Another request was that it had to be 5" x 7".  I struggled even more with it as we don't have envelopes that size, but again she insisted and told me to learn how to make envelopes. Thank you Sandra for challenging me. I created stationery she can now use for writing to the missionaries and I learned how to make envelopes in any size and with any paper.  They are so easy to make and add an even more personalized finish to your stationery.  That is tomorrow's post, so you definitely don't want to miss it.  You will learn how to make envelopes for yesterday's card and today's stationery.  I am so excited!  You will even learn how to make your own glue for the envelopes.  Yeah!

This stationery is beautiful as a gift or to keep handy when you need to write somebody a quick note to let them know you are thinking about them.  Just keep a stash handy and quickly pull it out when you need one and you are on your way to dazzling the recipient.  Look at the flowers popped up with the pearl in the center.  It adds a beautiful feminine touch to a very simple, yet elegant stationery sheet.  The Plum Metal Sheets adds a soft yet simply stunning elegant look that screams WOW! A shabby chic look with some added dazzle.  These will look beautiful packaged as a gift.  Later this week, I will show you a completely packaged look with an added accessory that will make a beautiful Mother's Day gift, birthday gift, or an any occasion gift.  Want to make these stationery sheets? Just click on the button below, download your FREE pdf file, order some metal sheets, get out your stamps, and get ready to make a dazzling project.

Birthday in a Box and More....

Good Afternoon Stampers,

I am so excited to share with you today's project "Birthday in a Box".  The original creator of this project is Melissa Stout.  I loved her project and took it from there and made some changes to create my own twist.  This project features the Happy B-day Simply Scrappin Kit.  I love the Simply Scrappin' Kits because they can be used to create projects beyond scrapbooking. This is a perfect example of how you can create cards quickly with a lot of dazzle.  This Birthday in a Box project includes 10 birthday cards, 10 matching embossed envelopes, a Forget-Me-Not-Keeper, and 12 monthly divider cards. All cards are dry embossed and embellished with clear rhinestones. I have also used a birthday greeting stamp set for all the cards. 

I will be teaching this class this weekend and can hold up to 12 people in my studio.  As of today, I ONLY have 3 spots left.  If you live in the area and would like to attend this class, you can contact me or send me a payment via paypal at monica@addalittledazzle.com.  I expect this class to be filled by the end of the day. Don't delay!

For those of you who are not in the area but would love to make one of these boxes here is what I am offering.  I am offering this as a Class-to-Go Kit with Instructions.  What does that mean?  It means I will send you all materials you need for creating this project pre-cut and pre-embossed.  Stamped images and adhesives are not included.  You will also receive a pdf file with the instructions, list of supplies, measurements, and pictures for re-creating this project.  This is not a planner; it is a Class-to-Go Kit with Instructions.  If you are a demonstrator, you can order the Class-to-Go Kit and quickly assemble it so you can have a sample ready to show your customers as you prepare to offer it as a class.  This is my version of the Birthday in a Box. Since I changed it up from Melissa Stout's original design, she was kind enough to allow me to type up my own instructions and use my own pictures and sell it a Class-to-Go Kit with Instructions.  Normally, I would include the directions I purchased from her with the Class-to-Go Kit, but since I changed up the designs the measurements and layouts wouldn't match up with her instructions. Thanks Melissa!

This Birthday in a Box Class-to-Go will help you stock up on birthday cards and help you get organized with this handy divider so you will never forget another birthday.  Since everything is pre-cut and pre-embossed this is a great way to have a project completed in an hour with a box full of 10 cards with matching embossed envelopes.  You will no longer be caught unexpectedly without a card.  All you have to do is go to your birthday box card, pull it out, sign it, and you are ready to go.  Stop running around frantically trying to make a card at the last minute and get organized with your birthday cards today. Place your order today for your Birthday in a Box Class-to-Go Kit.  The first batch of orders will be shipped out the week of March 22nd.  All will be nicely packaged in a Craft Keeper and will be shipped out Priority Mail.  

To get your Birthday in a Box Class-to-Go Kit  just place your order today and your kit will ship the week of March 22nd.  Once your order is sent out, you will receive a pdf file of the instructions for my version of this project.  Get ready to create a dazzling project that is sure to dazzle all. If you are a local customer, you can register for my class on Saturday, March 13th at 10:00 a.m.  I am also offering my third Metal Embossed Frame Class on Saturday, March 13th at 3:00 p.m.  I have 1 spot left for that class so make sure to sign up if you would like to attend.  You can send me payment via paypal on the link below.

Please Read Entire Post: New Metal Sheet Pricing, More Collage Frames, and Winner

Good Afternoon Stampers,

Wow! It was a busy weekend.  I had two Perfect Details Collage Frame classes on Saturday and have another one scheduled for this weekend.  The ladies who attended did an amazing job.  The thing I loved most was how different everybody's frame was.  We had one lady make a frame for her godson who is a professional boxer.  I loved the pictures she used and how beautiful the pictures looked in the frame.  The greatest thing about it is that it looked masculine as she used the Argyle Texturz Plate.  Among those who attended we had wedding frames, graduation frames, family portrait frames, family heirloom frames, and the most unique one was a request from my hairdresser for a frame for her shop so she could feature her Marilyn Monroe pictures.  Everybody had a different idea in mind but they all looked so dazzling.  Today, I will share with you three of the frames created in the class.

The first frame was created by Theresa.  I have to be honest with you at first I wasn't fond of the Periwinkle Metal Sheet in her frame but when I saw the finished product I was in awe.  This is truly beautiful and so elegant in person.  Wow!  Makes me want to make another one for my wedding pictures.  One lady loved her frame so much that she decided she would come back and create another one this weekend to give her sister as a wedding gift.  I can honestly say this is an amazing and beautiful gift for a new couple to showcase in their new home.  I love it!

The color combination in this frame is: Rock Star Black, Periwinkle, and Aluminum.  Theresa used the back side of one of the colored metal sheets to create the Aluminum side.  This beautiful piece was created using Stampin' Up! Perfect Details Texturz Plate.  This is definitely perfect for a gift or for your own home.

The next featured frame was an interesting request from my hairdresser Monica.  I went to get my haircut on Friday and I took the frame to her shop and she fell in love with it.  Her color combination request came from a deodorant bottle.  Yeah, that's right a deodorant bottle.  She asked for a frame with Peacock, Barn Red, and Rock Star Black.  I honestly didn't know how this would look but I think it looks stunning!  The colors are so rich and really pops out beautifully in her shop.  The funny thing is that I asked her for pictures of her family and she said she was going to display pictures of Marilyn Monroe in her frame.  I can't wait to see it with the pictures.  For now, the frame you see is without pictures in it, but it is.  It is very modern looking! We used the Perfect Details Texturz Plate for her frame.  Can you think of somebody who would love this modern looking metal embossed frame in their home.  Another thing that came to mind is that if the person doesn't want to add pictures they can add more metal and just make it an interesting piece of art to add to their decor.  This is a funky and fresh frame.  I love this too!

The last frame I will show you for today was one made by Judy.  Her daughter is graduating from high school this year and she is in the midst of the preparations for her graduation party.  Here in Taos graduations are a big social affair and parents go all out.  It is the thing to do during the summer.  There are weekends where people go to parties for two days straight all day long and just go from one party to another.  Parents rent out halls 1 year in advance just to make sure they can get the date they want. We are working on her graduation party invitations.  By the way, there are 250 invitations to make for her daughter's party.  I am working on her final graduation card this week.  The pressure is on to create a dazzling graduation invitation for the graduate.  I will share the invitation with you when it is done and it receives final approval.

Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Sneek Peek!

Good Morning Stampers,

I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed yesterday's post.  The orders are coming in quickly for metal sheets, so make sure to place yours today so that you don't have to wait for my second order to come it. I am running out quickly (LOL).  Thank you to all who have already placed their orders.  I will be contacting you via email between today and tomorrow with some additional details. 

Today I am sharing a sneek peek of the first project that will be featured in the Easter Extravaganza Newsletter.  The project I created is super cute and perfect for Easter.  In order to receive this project, you must sign up to receive my newsletter.  If you aren't signed up, hurry and sign up today before I get out this week's issue.  Just look for the image shown on the left on the upper left hand column of my blog and enter your email address.  It is that easy and it's FREE, but you must be on my mailing list.  I have been asked to keep this as a permanent feature of my blog as we go through the different seasons.  My goal is to offer this to you but at times there might be a week or two between changing of the seasons/holidays where there will be no newsletter.  This will happen during the transition period but rest assured I am not going anywhere.

Don't forget to order your copy of the "Perfect Details Metal Embossed Collage Frame Planner" today.  This project is amazingly beautiful and is perfect for an upcoming gift giving occasion or for your home decor. One of the things I like about it is the elegance and sophistication the piece will create in any room in a house or office and it doesn't look artsy craftsy.  You know what I mean?  This gift is so beautiful for Mother's Day.  Think about a grandmother with pictures of her grandchildren, a new mother, a daughter, a wife.  I promise whoever receives this gift will love it!

The planner includes detailed instructions, pictures, and tips for the best way of handling and working with metal sheets.  This planner is sure to be a favorite among your customers for a long time to come. Don't miss out on ordering your copy today!  Also, make sure to order your metal sheets as I am already selling a lot of the new colors and the older colors. 

Don't forget to leave me a comment about this project, Easter Extravaganza, or the new metal sheet colors to enter into this week's drawing.  This week's drawing is for the Perfect Details Texturz Plate and one sheet of the five new metal colors.  The planner is not part of this contest.  I apologize for any confusion this might have caused for some of you.  

If you would like to order your planner, please read the post below for the full details. 

The planner is only $13.95 and the knowledge you will gain is priceless as you learn to work with metal sheets and Stampin' Up! product and grow your business.

 If you are not a demonstrator, you will still learn a lot of tips and tricks for working with metal sheets and will see the great opportunity that lies in starting your own Stampin' Up! business.  Members of my team receive my planners FREE as this helps them grow their business.  Have you thought about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?  I would love to have you as part of my team.  This is a great time to join.  If you are interested in joining my Dazzling Impressions Team, please contact me at monica@addalittledazzle.com and we can set up a time to talk and answer all your questions.

Have a dazzling day,

Please Read Entire Post: Perfect Details Metal Embossed Collage Frame Planner, New Shipping Costs, New Colors

Good Morning Stampers,

I am excited to share with you the release of the NEW METAL SHEET COLORS, NEW PLANNER, AND NEW SHIPPING COSTS.  I have been working hard to get it all together and I am so excited to share it with you.  There are five new metal sheet colors and they are all gorgeous and great for upcoming summer projects, gifts, and home decor items. The Hot Pink Diamond and Peacock are to die for; they have a beautiful metallic finish.  You will love it!  The Gold Nugget is gorgeous,too.  The truth is I love them all.  I am so excited as the creations are endless and my mind is going crazy right now with ideas (LOL). Click on the Metal Sheets Button located on the right hand column of my blog and it will take you to the Metal Store Page where you can view them up close.  By the way, the Spiced Rum is like Really Rust and is perfect for a school color collage frame.  I am so excited as I learn how to work with this great medium everyday. Of course, the main product will always be Stampin' Up! but there are great ways to combine metal sheets with Stampin' Up! product to create dazzling projects that are different and dazzling. Lets keep our customers interested and excited by offering new and innovative projects combined with SU product.

Today, I would also like to share with you my new planner "Perfect Details Metal Embossed Collage Frame".  This creation is unique and absolutely stunning. I love it! It is so beautiful in person and looks so elegant in my house.  I used Plum, Barn Red, and Copper Metal Sheets to create this amazing look. One of the things I love about this project is that it looks like something you would buy at a fancy store.  This project is so versatile and can be created for anybody and for any occasion.  We all have people in our lives that don't appreciate handmade cards and scrapbooks but everybody loves frames to display pictures in their office or home.

Are you looking for a different kind of Mother's Day Class to offer your customers this year? Do you want to fill your class? This unique and dazzling project will be loved by all.  This is definitely a class you want to offer.  I am offering this class this weekend and I only have 3 spots left.  If you would like to attend, contact me today, or send me payment via paypal as this class is filling up quickly. 

The great thing about this class is that it isn't limited to just Mother's Day.  You can offer this as a graduation class.  Purchase the metal sheets in the school colors and offer this class to your customers.  You will not only fill up your class with seniors but with people who are looking for a unique and different gift to give the graduate.  Maybe you have somebody who has finished college and is going to move into their first house or apartment.  This would make a great housewarming gift.  Then how about a 25th or 50th anniversary gift?  Fill it with great memories that the couple is sure to cherish.  How about Father's Day?  That is one that a lot of demonstrators struggle with.  Not anymore.  Create a dazzling metal embossed collage frame for the office filled with family pictures.  As you can see, this is a gender neutral/occasion neutral class to offer and we have colors to fit all. 

I have a demonstrator version and customer version of this planner available to meet your needs. All planners include a supply list, detailed instructions with pictures to guide you through each step, and cutting instructions. If you are a demonstrator, your planner will also include the following:

1. Detailed Instructions with step-by-step pictures

2.  Customer Version Planner

3. Supply List

4. Cost Analysis

5. Cutting Guide

6. Timely Tips 

7. Promotional Flyer

My goal is to offer you a class that will dazzle your customers while creating a great profit margin for you the demonstrator.  There are many tips and suggestions for running this class in a profit producing manner.  Your customers will love this class and will see the versatility of the Big Shot and why it is a must have for them.  In the pricing guide section, I have also incorporated the cost of this planner into the suggested class fee so that you the demonstrator are not absorbing the cost.  Look at purchasing this planner as an investment that you will recover once you offer this class.  The great thing is that you can then offer it as a class for another occasion and fill up attendance once again and then it is just extra profit. 

The cost for this dazzling planner that includes all of the above is only $13.95. The knowledge you will gain in working with metal sheets and offering something your customers haven't seen is priceless.  This class will spark the interest of those customers who haven't come to class in a long time as they can see that there is a functional use for this project.  We are all facing tough economic times, but the need for gifts still arises so why not offer a class that your customers will want to attend because of the functionality of the project as they can give it as a gift for an upcoming holiday, wedding, baby shower, graduation etc.  To order your planner, just choose the best option below, and place your order today and get ready to offer a class that will excite all your customers.

Quick Update!

Good Afternoon Stampers,

I wanted to write a quick post to let you know that my blog designer is currently working at uploading everything to the Metal Store.  I haven't forgotten you and we are working to get everything up and running.  My blog designer's computer froze and so she is working to get everything done as fast as she can.  Stay tuned and come back!

Have a dazzling evening,
