Fantastic Overhead Camera Mount!!

DIY videos have gotten more & more popular especially in the area of card making!  They have become so popular and good for business that Stampin' Up! did a class about making videos at our demonstrator convention last month.  They shared a super easy & inexpensive camera mount of smart phones.  Here is the photo of the one I came home and made in maybe one hour including cutting the pipe and assembly!

 The phone mount I got on Amazon for two for like $6.  The fabulous Katie & Benjamin from Stampin' Up! taught the class at convention.  Katie shared the details of it on our blog as well:  http://thecraftyblogstalker.com/diy-overhead-camera-mount/

Enjoy making yours & happy stamping!!

Part 5 of 5 - My Swaps for Inspire. Create. Share. 2015

This is the last card front in my Inspire. Create. Share. 2015 swaps!  I hope you have enjoyed all these card fronts.  In the coming weeks I will be showing some of the swaps I received in trade from other demonstrators.

This card front like the ones in parts 1 & 2 are using the Gift from the Garden stamp set.  I'm also loving this Pretty petals paper stack!

Part 3 of 5 - My Swaps for Inspire. Create. Share. 2015

Today I am taking a break from the Gift from the Garden stamp set swaps to share a different swap card from Inspire. Create. Share. 2015!  This post is part three in this five part series.

I love this new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Sprinkles of Life.  It is the Ronald McDonald fundraiser stamp set that Stampin' Up! offers.  Fall is one of my favorite times of year!!

Part 2 of 5 - My Swaps for Inspire. Create. Share. 2015

I've decided to share each of the five card front swaps I made for the North American Inspire. Create. Share. 2015 (Stampin' Up! demonstrator convention).  This post is part two of this series.  This card front again used the Gift from the Garden stamp set as I am an avid gardener! 

This card front in particular was made for a simple, but great organized swap.

I love the color combination of Pacific Point and Cucumber Crush that this card shows off.  One detail to point out is that the pots were stamped on a separate piece of paper, fuzzy cut, and adhered down.

Part 1 of 5 - My Swaps for Inspire. Create. Share. 2015

I've decided to share each of the five card front swaps I made for the North American Inspire. Create. Share. 2015 (Stampin' Up! demonstrator convention).  This post is part one of this series.

One of my main objectives with my swaps was to use a new stamp set that just came out in the new 2015-2016 annual catalog.  I decided on the Gift from the Garden stamp set as I am an avid gardener! 

gift from the garden is a work of heart

This card front uses all the 2015-2017 in color inks and the Cucumber Crush & Tip Top Taupe cardstock.  The background is Typeset Speciality Designer Series Paper.  Sahara Sand lace trim can be found at the bottom of the sentiment.  The minor detail you might not catch is that I used the Decorative Label punch to make the border on the far right of the sentiment piece.

Come back tomorrow for the second card in this series!  Have a great day and happy stamping!
