I loved your heat embossing tool video on 3-24-20! Wonderful useful tips & the smore looked yummy. Thanks!
Thank you Connie for all the time and effort you put in to helping us fellow stampers! Your unexpected tip for s’mores had me ?. You are the best.
But Connie! You forgot the Keebler cookies and marshmallows in your “what you need to make this craft” list! LOL Stay safe and keep inspiring us with uplifting messages of Hope. We aspire to provide that for you too! God bless.
Connie- What great tips! I love the tear & tape and glitter tip so much! What craft related things are you getting done while social distancing? I really need to clean my clear blocks, and maybe cull out some old supplies. Now would be a great time to give them to school kids stuck at home. I hope you & your family are doing well. I wish I had s’mores supplies — That looked SO good! Thanks again!
Love all your tips. I always learn something from them even tho I have been stamping for a long time. This one was no exception. Thank you. May I ask a request to show differences between the plates for embossing folders. I get confused when I pull an embossing folder which plates to use thank you.
Heat Tools – NOT just for Stamping!
Always love your tips Connie!
I just wanted to say you are the best , keep the tips coming and be safe . Linda
What great tips! Thank you so much. Didn’t think past heat embossing until now!
Thank you for the idea to hold card stock with the small blocks. Genius! Thank you for your inspiring ideas!
I got the biggest laugh out of making s’mores with the heat gun. Nifty idea when no campfires are allowed in our neighborhood. Only trouble is I can’t run out and buy some chocolate or cookies with the corona virus keeping us at home.
