Make It Monday - Broadway Star June 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit (Alternative Cards!)

Basic Black

Lovely Lipstick

Lemon Lime Twist

Whisper White

Good Morning Everyone! My Make It Monday Share is a set of Alternative Cards created with the Stampin' Up! June 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Called Broadway Star, it has everything you need to create 8 Birthday Cards with Envelopes. Plus, it also coordinates with the Broadway Bound Suite featured in the New Annual Catalog. Although this kit was already pretty and easy to assemble, I decided to step it up by adding an extra banner layer and cake platter to the Hooray Card. Then, I created a Birthday Box in a Card for a totally different look. These alternatives give you more bang for your bucks. Check back this week for the Free Birthday Box in a Card Tutorial!

Tidy Up Tuesday - Re-inking Stampin' Up! Ink Pads

Good Morning Everyone! It's Tidy Up Tuesday and today my focus is on Re-inking Stampin' Up! Ink Pads. They come with an innovative design which has a patented flip-top lid, and a firm foam that provides exceptional ink coverage. Although this firm foam pad lasts longer than felt pads, they do need to be re-inked over time. Below is a Quick and Easy Tutorial on how to Re-ink your ink pads. 

Re-Inking Stampin' Up! Ink Pads

1. You will need your Stampin' Up! Ink Pad, the coordinating bottle of Ink Refill, and a plastic spoon.

2. Take the Ink Refill and spread ink over the firm foam pad.

3. Next, take the back of the plastic spoon and smooth the Ink Refill out. Be careful not to damage the firm foam pad by pressing to hard. 

4. The Stampin' Up! Ink Pad is now Re-inked. Because the top is already built in upside down, the ink pad will stay inked during storage.

Happy Stamping!
