Welcome to the 2nd Stampers Anonymous SU Blog tour! This time round we will be showcasing the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets. The Sale-A-Bration stamp sets are FREE sets you can earn for every $100 purchased till 31st March. These stamp sets are not available for purchase so if there is one, two, three or maybe 4 you would like then you need to contact your demonstrator (or Me if you don’t alread have a demonstrator) and place an order before you miss out.

You may have just come from Rob Irving blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry…. you can make the complete circuit just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 9 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you!

At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour. Feel free to ‘Share the Love’ and leave a comment! So sit back, relax and enjoy!

My cards are very simple this time around, I saw this stamp set and thought simple and white. So this is how I made my cards. Simple and white. All the cards are the same just with a different stamp set. I hope you like them.

Pretty Idea! Project Tutorial

February 6, 2010 by Ruth  

Have you ever looked at a ‘Pretties Kit’ and thought ‘Surely I could use this for something else other than beautiful cards?’ Well I did and have the answer! When I am teaching classes I struggle to identify where my scissors are, and if you have the Stampin’ Up! scissors (which I would like to say are the best scissors I have ever used in my life) you will know they are to be prized and not to be missed placed. What better way to identify them with and be unique with a charm (yes I did have ribbon tied to them prior to today however I figure quite a lot of other people have ribbon). And because I am sure I will still have my pretties kit at the age of 80!!! (I have a long way to get there,  I like to add) I thought I have another use for it.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thanks to a Rainy day and help from my very good friend Sami I have successfully created my first tutorial. Please tell me what you think.

Supplies

  • Pretties Kit (109114, page 149 IB & C 09-10)
  • Tiger Tale (found at various craft stores in the beading section)
  • Round nosed pliers (I used my ’Crafters’ Tool Kit’,104310, page 155 IB & C 09-10)
  • Crip (found at various craft stores in the beading section)

Step 1 – Select the beads and pearls you wish to use and arrange them in a design. Cut a length of ‘Tiger Tale’ and loop around the handle of the scissors.Step 1

Step 2 – Thread the beads on the design layed out.

Step 3

Step 3 – Thread the crimp on the end of the bead  design.

step 4

Using the Pliers flatten the crimp so the beads cannot fall off the tiger tale.

Step 6

Step 4 – You have finished making your scissors unique!!!

Please send me an email or post  a comment. I have a few more coming up. So stay tuned!
