The New Catalog Release

Good evening,
I just wanted to share with you the release of the New Catalog. You can click on the catalog icon on the right hand side to download. E-mail me if you would like to purchase one. The catalog is $9.95 but I will sell it at my cost of $5 plus shipping. Also in the month of July every Monday at 10 am there will be a new deal of the week. So visit my website at http://stampinwithu.stampinup.net to see what the new deal is! This week it's the scallop punch at a savings of more than 30% off! Though the flyer says June it was a misprint and really it actually is July!

I will be gone for the 4th of July, so I would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy 4th. Remember all the Soldiers, who are fighting for our Independence.
Stampin' with you,
Sandy

Ribbon Dying Using Chalks

Good Morning Crafters and Stampers,
I thought I would share a tutorial I found on SplitCoast Stampers with you today. The product highlight is on the Stampin'Up Chalks. Picture this,you have made a card and you don't have the ribbon to match, well, this is what you can do. This is what you will need:

White grosgrain ribbon
Pastels
Sponge daubers
Acrylic sealer
Step-by-Step



Step 1
Cut desired length of ribbon. 18" is manageable, as this can get messy.

Use firm pressure to apply pastel with a sponge dauber.

Go back and forth until you achieve the color you want.



Step 2
Flip the ribbon over and apply a different color of pastel with another sponge dauber.








Step 3
Once both sides of the ribbon are covered evenly, brush off any excess pastel powder with a large brush or a paper towel.

Place the ribbon on scrap paper or cardboard and spray lightly with acrylic sealer.

Warning:
Use acrylic sealer in a well-ventilated area or outside as the fumes from the sealer are very strong.







Step 4
Once the ribbon is dry (a few seconds should be enough), flip the ribbon over and spray again.

Add it to your card and you are done!

Have fun trying this and keep on creating and stampin',
Sandy
