Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Janet Forton

 Today's Spotlight Stamper is my friend, Janet Forton. Jan likes to try those difficult fun folds that I usually avoid! Today, I want to share with you the Never Ending Fun Fold.

Jan's card turned out great, I hope that you also enjoyed it. Maybe you would like to give it a try, just do a search for Never Ending Fold.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cindy

Stampin' Up! Love What You Do - Iridescent Treat Bags

 

Wow Tip: Yes, You Can Shrink Wrap That!

Iridescent Treat Bags (166204) make creating sweet! See what BIG ideas this shrinking technique will inspire. Step 1: Insert Basic White Cardstock in an Iridescent Treat Bag. Step 2: Hold the Heat Tool 1–2" above the bag and heat in a side-to-side motion to shrink the cellophane. Repeat on the other side. Safety First! Work on a heat-safe surface, and hold the bag in place with a tool, such as a Bone Folder. Step 3: Cut three shrink-wrapped panels. Tip: You may need to apply additional heat along the cut edges to seal. Here is the Link to My Store:  Shop With Cindy What a fun technique!!  Let me know if you try this. Take care, Cindy ********************************************************************************                                                               What is Happening Every Monday - FACEBOOK LIVE AT CINDY'S STAMPING STUDIO AT 5:30 P.M.
