Welcome to the February Pals Blog Hop. This month we are sharing what we love – our favorite Stampin’ Up! products and our favorite crafting techniques.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from number 17, Martie Pollard at The Crafty Bandit. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.
Each time I’m asked what my favorite Stampin’ Up! product is I draw a blank. Not because I don’t have one, but because I have too many and ‘ain’t nobody got time for that!’.
However, my favorite products are the framelits. They give you the freedom to cut shapes out anywhere on the paper and my favorite technique is making a negative with the framelits.
MAGGIE MADE TIPS: Not in cash, but great crafting recommendations
- Framelits: Are perfect for creating negative space for the backdrop to a focal point.
- Create Your Own Shape: Such as this four leaf clover. Yes, it requires that you run it through your big shot four times, but it takes less than three minutes to create it. If your making several of the same card simply cut two at a time.
- Recycle Paper: The smaller 4-leaf clover is from a previous project I was working on. I just used the heart in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The next stop is number 19, Lynn Kolcun at Avery’s Owlery on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I’ll see you next month.
