I recently listed my Mini CD Easel calendar template and the cases on Etsy. One of my customers wanted to know my recommendation on how to color them other than just stamping.  For me, because I make a larger quantity to sell, I prefer to just stamp as much as I can, because the process is time consuming when I do so many.  I have in the past have done some coloring, and die cutting, and embossing (both heat and dry - with embossing folders).  So Kathie, this video is for you.  I hope it answers some questions for you.

Hi fellow stampers, Often when I'm stamping and using my Stampin' Blends, or my Watercolor pencils, or Window sheets or a technique, my mind goes blank and I'm not sure what ink to use.  Do I use Memento?

Here's a little cheat sheet that was provided by Stampin' Up! in one of our demonstrator magazines and I wanted to share it with you.  I'm printing it out for myself and am going to laminate it so it doesn't get all dogeared and keep it handy. I hope this helps you too. Share it with your stamping friends. I'm also going to put this on my Facebook page: Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends , look for it under "files".  Please leave a comment and let me now if you find this helpful! Images © Stampin' Up!
