I used a Brother Scan N Cut to create die cuts for both the sentiment and the sentiment mat. It does take hours to create files to us. It's not for the faint of heart.

* A must have! I'm frugal so when I found gold adhesive rhinestones at the Dollar Twenty-Five Tree, I had to buy them. Well....when I tried to separate them, the glue pulled away. The Take a Pick Tool made my life easier. The putty on the tip picks up the rhinestone (any embellishment) instead of your fat fingers.

If you are a new blog follower,  I love Stampin' Up! products and use them almost exclusively on this blog. I'm retired and spend every day in my craft room. I am trying to use up my well-stocked, studio of current and retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper and cardstock.

Shortly I will be posting every day only because I make more than one card a day. If this is not your thing to receive an email everyday, I am offering to change your subscription to my blog for once a week. You can get receive an email once a week which will list all the weeks posting in one email. You may miss a beautifully created card at the bottom of the email - you'll have to remember to keep scrolling the email for ideas you can use. You may also miss an unscheduled announced from Stampin' Up! such as FREE SHIPPING!

If you want to be on my weekly email showing the previous week's post, please EMAIL me requesting to subscribe only to my weekly summary email.

I share what I love by shopping from my stash and helping others to shop their own stash. In fact, in February I have a It's My Party - Party Pandas Card Series.

TUTORIALS UPDATE

I posted several days ago about my tutorials will no longer be available for purchase. The reason I had to make that statement was PayPal's new Terms of Service.

They have since retracted their statement and I will continue to offer my tutorials for purchase.
