Cottage Lane Stamper

Do you get frustrated when stamping multiple things like Christmas cards?  There have been years, when making my mini cd calendars for craft fairs, that I thought I would never finish.  I would keep messing up, sometimes over and over!  So much wasted paper, time and energy.  This year, I'm blessed to say, that I'm already up to August and haven't had to reprint anything!  All due to the Stamparatus!  I've done videos on this before but today I thought I would show you how easy it is to use, when making my calendars.  The stamp set I'm using, Painted Harvest, is not an easy one to line up, but today it was, dare I say, a breeze!  Hope you enjoy this video. You can purchase the Stamparatus here for a list of the products and to   shop for your Stamparatus here! The template for the calendar is available in my Etsy store:  Cottage Lane Stamper

Hello! Stampin’ Up! recently updated my website! To ensure you have the best experience, the next time you visit my site, please make sure not to include “www.” at the front of the URL. Or you can simply click the following link and save it as a favorite so you don’t have to think about it: https://sharonbrennan.stampinup.ner If you forget and do include “www.” at the front, it’s possible you will see an error telling you the site may not be secure. That’s not true; in fact, it’s more secure that it was before the update! That “www.” is the problem. Hope you check it out soon!

I saw these a while ago and thought I would try my hand at them for the craft fair to see how they would go. I had a few bumps along the way since all I had were dimensions and no instructions. I thought this week was Friday the 13th instead of last week!  Hahaha I was scoring in the wrong direction, cutting instead of scoring, couldn't get the Hershey Kisses to stick, and a few other things.  I think I have the bugs worked out, except one that I figured out off camera.  But I did put together a pdf and have the Hershey kiss bug worked out there. You can find the pdf with instructions, dimensions and supplies on my Facebook Group page: Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends under files. Let me know if you give this a try and if you have any suggestions for improvements.  Thanks for stopping by!

Are you also a DSP (Designer Series Paper) hoarder too!  I am.  This is a quick and easy box to make.  The video shows me making a 2" box for treats for my card class ladies. I had to suspend classes for a few months due to some health issues with my hands. Kinda integral to making cards. The photo below is a 4" box.  Instructions are available in pdf form on my Facebook Group Page: Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends, under "files".  Give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this! You can purchase more DSP through my store:  https://sharonbrennanstampinup.net .  There is a sale going on right now until Sept 30, 2019.  Buy 3 get 1 free!
