What's The Scoop?

“Save all your leftover strips of papers, then cut them in equally sized squares and glue them (leaving a gap) onto white or black paper for a striking mosaic card or scrapbook layout.” —Paper Wishes Message Board Regular, Fabrizio M. (aka Fabyon)

If you’ve got tried-and-true tips you’re willing to share (like Fabrizio), we’d love to hear them! I’m collecting tips on scrapbooking, stamping, cardmaking, papercrafting, organizing or photography for the Countdown Clock for upcoming Week of Webisodes. Willing to share? Then please email your tips to me at snaumann@hotp.com.

If your tip is chosen, I’ll put your name in a hat and pull a few people to win selections of Paper Wishes goodies. I’ll also draw one name to win a collection of my favorite Paper Wishes stuff—$100 worth!

Interested in helping out? Then please email your tips to me by May 31st, and please put “Week of Webisode Tips” as the subject line. I need a LOT of tips, so there’s no limit to how many you can send! Thanks in advance—I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

NEW! Templates Plus Personal Shopper!

Love templates? Me too! In fact, they’re my favorite (and most frequently-used) papercrafting tools. I love that they’re inexpensive, easy to use and give lots of different looks for scrapbook pages and cards. And I’m super-excited about the new Templates Plus Personal Shopper kit club! Every other month there’s a new template (starting with a Berry Box from designer Susan Niner Janes—it’s SO cute!) plus specialty papers like foil, glimmer and hammered. You also get a full-color sheet with instructions that lead you through the projects so you can get started right away. Each kit is just $9.99 and shipping to US and Canadian residents is free. Our first kit ships in June—I can’t wait! Learn more or sign up by contacting Personal Shopper Assistant Debbie or visiting here.

Tip: Dazzles™ Transfer Sheet

Alert to those having trouble with the Dazzles™ Transfer Sheet! Here’s the scoop: It seems there’s some variation in the stickiness of the Transfer Sheets and unfortunately, this has just come to our attention. We’re getting it fixed from the manufacturer—but until then, here’s a simple way to make the sheet less sticky, so it works properly: Cut the piece of Transfer Sheet you need to use, then press it onto a towel or piece of felt, lift off and repeat three times. This will remove the excess stickiness and the sheet will work as demonstrated in the Webisode. This process is only needed if the Transfer Sheet has the Dazzles™ name on it. If it has another name, no removal process is necessary. We are getting the problem fixed right away and I’m so sorry for any inconvenience!
