I’ve had a couple of people tell me they have problems getting Glue Dots where they want them, especially those sheets of Glue Dots from their Paper Pumpkin kits.
Please bear with me as I work on my video setup to get better at the process of videoing!

Happy Fourth of July!!
I know things are tough right now, with COVID-19, job insecurities, protests, and concerns about the economy. But, I hope you’ll get a chance to relax and enjoy today.
At Stamp Club last month, we made these cute treats.
Here’s the fixin’s:
For every $50 you spend in July, you’ll get a $5 coupon to use in August!
That means you can purchase products you love from the new Annual Catalog and save money on holiday products from the new Mini Catalog coming next month!!
Please contact me if you have questions or need help placing an order.
Independence Day will be here before you know it!
In today’s Tuesday Tidbit, I’d like to share a quick tutorial on making 3D stars. These are easy to make, and you can add them to your Fourth of July Projects, or any project.

I recently sent these cards to my Stamp Club members. I used up some of my retired stash of Tangerine Tango cardstock and DSP, along with the Digital Download created by Stampin’ Up! as a fundraiser to support organizations fighting COVID 19.
These cards were easy to make, but it did take me a while to fold all those little “masks” and attach all the ribbon. My club members seemed to enjoy the cards, so it was worth it!
If you don’t have one, I would LOVE to be your demonstrator!! You can shop with me 24/7 at the link below.
Last week, I showed you a card that we made in Stamp Club using the Scrappy Strip Technique.
I promised you a tutorial, so here it is!
SCRAPPY STRIP DSP TECHNIQUE
1. Choose DSP and prepare card base and layers using coordinating colors. I used Terra Cotta Tile and Early Espresso. My smaller layer of Terra Cotta Tile is 3 ¾” x 5”. This is optimal for getting the most from your DSP. Your DSP strips will need to hang over the edge, so cutting your DSP at 4” works well to get the most from your DSP. For my card size, you’ll need four strips of double-sided DSP (1 ¼” x 4”).
2. Cut the strips of DSP diagonally. You can cut these without measuring or you can cut them all the same. I used the lines on my paper trimmer, lining up the bottom with the first line to the left of the cutting track and the top with the first line to the right (1/4”).
3. Glue a strip of the DSP to the top of your smaller layer. It should hang over on the top and sides.
Back of layer
4. Glue the other DSP strips to the card layer, leaving just a sliver of cardstock showing between the strips. Alternate the strips so that the wide end is on the right, then left, then right, etc.
5. Flip the layer over and cut excess DSP off the edges.
6. Your panel is ready to be mounted to your card and decorated as desired.

If you’ve been stamping for very long, you probably own some of the old Clear Mount stamps. Those old stamp stickers were never very sticky and wouldn’t stay on the acrylic blocks. In fact, I always used mine without the stickers because they worked so much better. Now, we can convert those Clear Mount stamps to Cling Stamps using free leftovers!
See how to convert those old stamps here!

We made this card in last month’s Stamp Club using a paper strip technique.
This card is made with products from the Ornate Garden Suite in the new Annual Catalog
Here’s the fixin’s:
My husband, Steve, recently lost his sister, Debbie. It was a horrible time, but it was definitely a lot easier than it could have been, thanks to the kindness and generosity of my friends. They brought food, sent cards, and called or texted daily just to check on us.
This is one of the cards I made to say Thank You. It’s based on a card we made last month in Stamp Club, and to be honest, I didn’t have the energy to be creative, so I just changed the sentiments to suit my purpose.
I used the recently retired Kindness & Compassion stamp set for the words. I’m sorry this set retired, as it has beautiful words, both to express sympathy, and to thank others who expressed sympathy to us.
I used the following products to create this card.
