My Links

I just want to take a moment to explain my links listed to the right of your screen. Of course I listed Stampin' Up because that's my company. Their site has ideas and directions for many of their products. If you did not receive the quarterly mini-catalog, you can access that right online. They also have a section of frequently asked questions if you are curious about certain products or why you have to cut the stamps out yourself. I love Stampin' Up as a company. They truly are very caring and really take care of us as demonstrators.

SplitcoastStampers is one of my favorite sites to visit. They have thousands and thousands of ideas in their gallery. Probably 90% of the artwork shown is created with Stampin' Up products. You can type in a stamp set name and all of the projects made with that set will pop up. Or you can type in a technique you want to try, such as embossing, and all embossed projects will pop up. They have a wonderful techniques section under "resources". The directions are very clear and the photographs help you each step of the way. Because of this site's popularity, their server is overwhelmed and it can take a while for the pages to download. In addition, the site is undergoing some changes and may start charging a $25 annual membership fee if you want more access to the various galleries and resource pages. Frankly I think it's worth every penny to join.

Ink Blots is a blog written by Nicole Seitler, a fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator. Her artwork is exquisite. She goes into great detail about certain techniques and you can definitely follow along and do these techniques at home. You can also access her personal gallery to see more of her work. Definitely worth a visit!

There are hundreds of rubberstamping websites out there, but these are my personal top three choices. One thing about stampers is that they are open to sharing so if you see an idea that you like and want to copy it, feel free! It's called CASEing (Copy And Share Everything). However, be sure to give credit where credit is due such as making sure you acknowledge copyrighted images.
