Today, I received a box from Hero Arts with a few things. When I opened my package I decided that I needed to write sticky notes on the reason why I bought those stamps. I put the note inside the packaging so it would not get lost.
The notes weren't about card ideas, but a little simpler. For example, I bought the Blizzard Bold Prints and the note was: use with glittery blue embossing powder. So when I found a window to stamp, I just picked up this stamp and just made the background like the sticky note said. Then I knew it needed a snowy ground. From there, it was easy to decide theme and the stamps to coordinate.
Here is the card that was inspired by a sticky note.
I think from now on I will start printing my email confirmations and making notes on why I purchased those items and how I plan to use them. Once the supplies arrives, I can write sticky notes to put on them.
Hope you like the video and don't forget to give it a thumbs up and share.

Love this scene!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I can't tell you the number of stamps I buy because I want to do something special with them and when they get here, I never can remember the reason. It is only 7:30 A.M. and I learned something today. Now I can go back to bed! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL! No go make a card.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I'm ALWAYS forgetting why I ordered something by the time it arrives...I'm definitely going to start using this technique.
ReplyDeleteVery cute Iliana!! TFS :D
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Absolutely adorable! <3
ReplyDeleteGood idea and a great looking card!
ReplyDeleteHi Iliana ~ This is an awesome idea!! I often order something and then wonder what my plan was. Love the idea of printing the email confirmation and jotting down notes. It seems like such a simple idea...so glad you're sharing with us. ~HUGS~
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card and BRILLIANT idea!!! I frequently kick start from someone else's card too, and I use Evernote to save the inspiration as its similar to Pinterest but I can make better notes and then search them later when I get the stamp set or or have the time to work on it. But when you order a product with an idea or technique in mind and then forget it by the time you get the order, that is so frustrating! I could even still use Evernote, but save the product image instead of the card inspiration and put my notes there until the shipment comes in. Now, do you have any ideas for making time to play when I'm either too busy or spending too much time looking at what others are making?!?!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHere is something I used to do and plan to start again. I would only allow myself to watch YouTube while on my elliptical.
