Crafters: How to Pass the time While You're at Home

  • Let's get started with some fun ideas for productively using our stay-at-home time
  • Join the COVID-19 Card Challenge

How to pass the time while you're at home

Burned through your prerecorded TV shows and new Netflix movies?  Many of us are going to have some extra time on our hands in the coming couple of weeks.  I'm sure there are things you haven't had time to do or things you've always wanted to learn, and things you've wanted to reorganize.  Well, this is a perfect time!  Don't sit around waiting for bad things to roll out. Use this time to move forward.   

Here's some ideas to help you pass the time:


  • Purchase craft kits to help keep your kidos busy  Our Stampin' Up! All-inclusive Kits like Three Cheers for You, Item #151304, on page 59 of the January-June 2020 Mini catalog is one great alternative.  There are several more kits to consider in the annual Stampin' Up! catalog.
  • Pull out all of your Paper Pumpkin kits that you haven't yet assembled and make some great cards to send to family and fiends to let them know you're thinking of them.   If it was a kit you didn't assemble because it wasn't a project you liked, look on line for Paper Pumpkin alternatives and find samples of alternative projects using the contents of your kit.  Google, Pinterest, and Stampin' Up! Demonstrator blogs are all great resources for alternative ideas for your Paper Pumpkin Kits.
  • Organize your Paper Pumpkin stamps into Stamp Cases.  Order Standard Stamp Cases, Item # 119015.   Then, join the Facebook group, Paper Pumpkin Fan Club, go to the files for the group and download the monthly Paper Pumpkin inserts for your Stamp Cases.  Make sure to order the April Paper Pumpkin Kit to have something new to work on.
  • Organize your craft room.  If you haven't yet ordered the Storage by Stampin' Up! for your ink pads and accessories, this is a great time to reorganize your craft room work area so that you maximize your time creating.  
  • This is a great time for you to post your retired Stampin' Up! items on neighborhood boards, eBay, or Sell/ISO Facebook sites.
  • Make a list of birthdays and anniversaries coming up in the next few months and make a supply of cards to send when you need them instead of rushing at the last minute.
  • Join Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator to make some extra money,  and start a blog to promote your new business.  Join by March 31 for extra sign-up bonus
  • You've wanted to learn how to use some of your new Stampin' Up! stamps and dies.  This is a great time to spend some time on the Stampin' Up! YouTube channel.  Subscribe to the Channel.  Then binge watch  all of the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog videos and the Sale-A- Bration product videos for fun ideas you'll love to try on your own.

Stampin' Up! Easy Christmas Cards

Need to create a lot of Christmas Cards and need a simple design that won't take you weeks to finish?  This simple, yet elegant card will fit your needs perfectly.  It uses the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and the Everything Festive Sentiment Stamp Set.   You can find this Stamp Set on page 35 of the Holiday Catalog from Stampin' Up!.  If you're one of my customers, you should have received your copy of catalog during the past few day, and I'm sure your copy is as dog-eared as mine is already!    
  
Christmas Card idea using Everything Festive Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!



The base card today is Thick Very Vanilla.  Then a layer of Garden Green cardstock.  Then a layer of one of the Garden Green prints on Toile & Tidings Designed Series Paper.  
     
Easy Stampin' Up! Christmas Card




To create the sentiment layer, I die cut a stitched s using the Stitched Shapes Dies.  Then I used Garden Green ink and stamped the Merry & Bright sentiment using the Everything Festive Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog.  To add interest to the sentiment layer, i added a design element from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.  I added Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment circle before adding it to the card front.
