NEW Simon Hurley Christmas in July


It is time to celebrate Christmas in July with Simon Hurley's new release with Ranger Ink and collaborating with Spellbinders for the dies.


I used every cling rubber stamp and clear stamp set today because I love them all and also love creating Christmas cards in July to get a jump on them before the holidays.


I combined some of the cards with Lunar Paste and some with Solar Paste.


I used a different technique for each background and for each stamp set too!


I love the mix of retro and traditional Christmas images and sentiments!


Check out all the new stamps and dies and how I made all of these cards in today's video:

Pink & Main Mini Minc Review - WOW I am Impressed!


I have foiled toner products with a cheap laminator for YEARS and never thought I could achieve different results with a more expensive machine, but boy was I wrong!


The Pink & Main Mini Minc makes toner foiling a breeze! No more missed spots or black bits of toner remaining!


Plus Pink & Main has amazing supporting products for their Mini Minc such as toner backgrounds, colorful toner sheets, designed foil sheets and more!


I love how easy it is to get two foiled backgrounds...


with one foil sheet!


And how you can combine foiling and stamping!


Check out these supplies and my review of the Pink & Main Mini Minc in this video:
