Tuesday Tips!

Published: Tue, 12/10/19

Several of you have asked me when the new Stampin' Up! die cutting & embossing machine will be coming out. The short answer is, I don't know yet. But, I do know they are diligently working on a new, spectacular machine and will get it into our hands as soon as they can.

Beginning today, Stampin' Up! is making replacement cutting plates available for purchase. These plates work with the Big Shot. Their timing is funny because I was just looking at my plates thinking they are in the "well loved/used" category and could use some replacing. This offering also works great with their free shipping offer tomorrow.

A tip when storing plates to keep them flat - sandwich the 2 cutting plates underneath the 2 platform layers (or magnetic platform) and crank them halfway into the Big Shot. This has really helped keep my plates flat.

This week's Holiday Organizational Tips

When mass producing your Holiday cards, I recommend using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue instead of your trusty Snail Adhesive. As much as I love using the Snail Adhesive, I found that I was going through lots of refills for my 150+ cards. I wrote more about this in a blog post - http://mailsomethingpretty.com/tips-for-mass-production-of-cards/

Do you make cookies over the holidays? We sure do! Make a whole bunch of dough, scoop into balls and put in the freezer on a cookie sheet (they can be close together). After 20-30 minutes, remove the sheet from the freezer and place all the dough balls into an airtight container and refreeze. Then, when you have guests stop by, you can take a few of the dough balls out of the freezer and bake. Or, gift the dough balls with directions on baking. I did this for my dad one year and he loved it! They were able to take 4 dough balls out at a time and bake for nightly tea & cookies.

Glitter Clean Up - This is the time of year for glitter and it does tend to get everywhere. An easy glitter clean up is to use a dryer sheet. Wipe the area with a dry dryer sheet (the static picks up most of the glitter) and then go over your table with a wet sponge or cloth. If you don't have dryer sheets, a substitute is a kleenex.
