EASY PEASY RUB ON TOOL!

I'm sure your're thinking..hmm... rub on too.. big deal.. Well, this little guy is. I really do not like to use rub ons.. Well.. I USED to not like rub ons.. Now with this.. I do. As you can see, it's made by Basic Grey. It has one flat end and one rolling stylus end. It's so precise that you really do not have to start cutting up your rub on sheets.. there reallyis hardly and pressing involved, so you don't pick up all kinds of stuff you don't need on ur paper.


I even rubbed on over very glittery and bumpy paper and it just gliiiiided on! bad pic sorry.

After you roll it on with ease..you put your backing over it and swipe with the flat end.. Its sets it without breaking ur rub on into a billion pieces.. This baby is set for life





YA.. this excited over a tool.. LOL..
My Rubon-aphobia is GONE! Thank you Basic Grey!



PS: I also did some really pretty rubons on a piece of painted chipbaord..and..amazing!!

EASY PEASY TOOLS...ARE YOU A CIRCLE SEEKER?

Well look no more. Pick up the MS Large Circle cutter and get it done..and done quick. I walked by this tool a gazillion times and finally HSN got me hook..line and sinker with their demo. You can cut 4" to 12" and all those lil measurement in between quick and easy. 1. Slide the blade on the arm of cutter to what measurement you want and 2. place cutter on your paper and run the arm around once and your done!



I turned these two sheets of paper into a couple of 4" circles in about 2 minutes :)



Viola!

EASY PEASY TOOLS - and Kel's big win

Hello ladies! Kel and I were talking saying we don't use our tools enough, so we thought we would take some easy ones out to help remind us to use them and show some to you as well.

This is the We R Memory Keepers Sew easy stitch piercer. Let me tell you this is soo easy to use and really helps you sew on your projects.
These are the heads that came with it, it also comes with a mat and some thread. The heads are so easy to take on and off.




This is the head that I used to stitch this stitch on this page, and so easy. You just run the head on the paper where you want to stitch and then start sewing.

This is a close up of stitching I did on a card, this is the pink head.






Comes with all this thread, great colors!!!
I have to say this is one of the easiest tools I have used in a long time. It came with one sheet of instructions and I thought OMG I am going to need more than this, but not really! Fantab tool!

Kel won a challenge over at Frosted Design go on over and check it out. A big contrats to Kel, her card was amazing!!!

EASY PEASY TOOLS!

SORRY FOR INCONVENIENCE!
Good morning ladies..sorry about the weirdness of getting on the blog. Blogpoll wanted me to sign up for sumpthin and was blocking us.. Thanks to Dawn's investigation, I was able to fix it.. Thanks Dawn. Now onto the project.
You know how sometimes tools look so easy on tv or in the directions , you get it home and UGGG. Well this scor pad by Martha Stuart IS that easy. Here's what I did.. I whipped up a trifold card and envelope in less than 5 minutes.. I think it took me about 5 to decorate and Done.. woo hoo. Here's what I did.

1. LAID OUT MY PAPER.. SCORED TWICE AND FOLDED, PUNCHED EDGES







2. LAID OUT MY PAPER FOR ENVELOPE, SCORED, FOLDED AND GLUED.

I decorated my card the way I liked..not too fancy and I stamped my envelope.
















I'm sure all our talented card makers have this down pat.. LOL. But to me.. it was a little card miracle to be so easy.. LOL. With a coupon, you could probably pick this up for about $10.00 Anybody else out there have any scor, folding or envlope ideas they want to share??
