 are we on? Hello everyone! Hello, welcome to Stampin' Chat! Yes, with Stampin' Jill, but she is taking a little break today and so you have Beth and Aubrey. Yes, hello, welcome. We're so glad to be here with you. So excited. We are playing with the Let's Chat stamp set today. Such a cute one. We should show them in the catalog because it's really cute. Okay, do we have one handy? It's really cute. There are some really cute samples in the catalog with it. There are, and it's a simple set I feel like can get looked over. Right? Okay, I should have done this before, darn it. I wish I knew the page number. I wish I knew too. We'll just look through all of it. Oh, there it is. Super cute, kind of bright and fun. You can do a lot of things with it, but it's just a simple stamp set. There's no dies that coordinate with this or designer series paper, so it just kind of makes us get creative. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So I have played with this a little bit. I love to do it with the note cards because they're just a little bit smaller and since it's kind of a simple, more basic stamp set, I feel like it goes really well with that note card size. So that's what I played with. I'll show maybe really quick while Beth, you can get started and I'll show some of the ones I've made previously with it. I made these the other day. They're kind of a, I don't know, matching kind of series of cards, but it's so cute. It has this like, this cord here that has a hay written in it. I thought that was cute. It is quite cute. But I've had fun. Some of them, oh, those are the same ones. I forgot. Okay. That's three of the same card. And then here's another one. I've had fun cutting them out and popping them up, but some, I just, this one's just all flat. So it's cute. I did all the hearts in the background there. And then, yeah, and you can do all sorts of colors and it's just fun to play with. It's nice to have a stamp set you can just create with. You don't have to have a lot of extras. You can just kind of go with what you've got. Yeah. You do have to cut out like fussy cut a little bit, but it's cute. They've got the little heart. I really love this that goes and fits in the middle of the telephone. So I stamped my, I stamped a few previously in lemon lime twist and just cut them out. I did some in black too, just to get them prepped so that if, as I'm going, I can do that. I also found, and I thought this was cute. I punched this out with a two and three eighths inch punch, which it cuts off the sides, but I thought if I stamped it first and then popped it up, it might just give it some dimension. So that's kind of an idea I'm going to play with. And then I love using like black and white and a pop of color. That's just one of my favorite ways to create, especially with simple stamps. So I pulled paper from the rock and roll paper that I'm kind of using a little bit today too. Great idea. Yeah. But I think you're right. The note card size is kind of perfect for this stamp set. Yeah. I did stamp this background. This is a typical card size. This is five and a quarter by four. So I'm going to try and figure out something with that and just have like the phone in the background and then maybe a little saying or something. Cute colors. Is that what colors? That's balmy blue and bear. This is balmy. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It looks so dark. It's pretty with the very burst. Is that what that color is? Yeah. So that'll be fun. But I wanted to show you this other one that I made earlier. So I made a little telephone cord out of Baker's twine. And then this is like a little hello. So cute. So you can, I don't know, whatever that's called, interact with this card. I wanted to just show you how to do this little curly queue thing for anyone who hasn't done that before because I thought how fun to make a little phone cord that kind of pops off the page. So to do that, you need Baker's twine. Any, any color. I used black, but you could use any color and you need, here it is, a pen. And I just connect it to my pen or pencil or anything like cylindrical marker, whatever. And then I just use glue dots and glue down each of the edges. And then I take hairspray and just spray that whole thing and until it's like completely coated and then let it dry. So this one's dry. It maybe takes like, I don't know, 15 minutes or so to completely dry. And then you can just kind of peel it off there. Oh, maybe it wasn't dry enough. It kind of finds it. But it'll kind of find it. Yeah. Yeah. And you have a cute little curly queue. So cute there for your little rotary phone. Yeah. So I've done these before for different things. Beth did it once, like for the vines on pumpkins. I've done it like on a birthday card for the, like the bow on a present or something like that. So it's, I think like a craft thing. Sometimes we forget about, but our Baker's twine is great for it. I had no idea. But I thought it was fun for the phone just to have a cute little cord. Super cute. Anyway. Okay, I'm going to play with this one. Beth, that is looking so cute. Yeah, I'm kind of digging it. I love that. I kind of love that like rotary font. I don't know. Do you remember grandma's rotary phone? So Aubrey and I are sisters. And our grandparents, we would spend Sundays over at their house all the time. And our grandparents had a rotary phone. Do you remember grandma's rotary phone? Yeah. And I would call my mom just to use the phone. Like I thought it was so much fun. Yes. It was pretty great. It was. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun time spending like every Sunday. Every Sunday when we go over. Yeah. Yeah. But they had that rotary phone. Can I use one of your black ones that you stamped or do you have plans? No, I just stamped a bunch so that I would kind of see what was going on. I'm going to see what I needed. I think cut one of these out and maybe pop up on top of my background. I got to figure out maybe it's going to be like this instead for this one. Let's see. Kathy's here. Hi, Kathy. Hi, Kathy. Welcome. Welcome. Yes. I know some of these sets that we use have a lot of pieces to them. Like I love the sweets that come with a designer series paper and embellishment. It kind of makes it easy, easier for me anyway, because I'm not super creative about mixing and matching things, but I like these simple sets that you can kind of use the same stamp set and make something totally different than somebody else. It's kind of fun. Well, and I feel like sometimes with all of our sweets that cute little sets like this that don't have a punch or don't have dies that coordinate, I feel like sometimes they get overlooked and I'm like, but this phone is so cute. It is cute. It's way cute. And yeah, takes you back to the old days. Right. When we used actual physical phones. I know. I don't even have a home phone. I don't, but I actually, I thought I wonder if my kids would know what this this phone is. I don't think they would know. I don't think like a rotary phone or how you do it. That was the funnest part was to twirl it all around. And it would do all the way back. In fact, I've seen that online sometimes that like older people will give a younger person this like a rotary phone and say, okay, you need to dial this phone number and they can't figure out how to dial with the with the dial on the roadie rotary. And really that's why we even call it dialing. Like they just have no idea. Do you know, it's funny though, my kids, I saw a real recently about a mom, like a millennial mom and a child that she's raising and they were doing like, how do you pick up a phone? How do you pick up a phone? Yes. Well, I say like this because can they see us? Yeah. So a little bit. So like this, right to your ear, but kids pick it up like this or they said, how do you pick up a phone? That's how the kids do it, right? They do it, but we actually like, yeah, hang up a phone. It's so funny. Anyway, so super simple. I just added some designer series paper in the background, chose one I could stamp directly on and stamped the cord stamped a little ringing stamped a little hello. So just really simple. Could juice it up. I just want to do a couple. Um, can I use that punch that you used? Yeah. I'm thinking I might want that. I know, having a good big circle punch back is so nice. That is nice. I love using it, especially in simple stamping. It just simple stamping sometimes can be kind of flat, but this gives it just a little dimension. So maybe it's not considered simple stamping if you use a punch. Is that true? I don't know. Stamp, sink and paper. So I guess not. Yeah, I guess not. But maybe like a step up from simple stamping. Yeah. All right. Kathy says she has this, but she hasn't used it yet. Okay. So she'll have to try the cord idea. Hopefully you'll get some good inspiration from us playing with it. Yeah. And you'll be able to play with it too. So I wanted to see if I stamped it and then popped it. Sometimes it just takes seeing what other people are done with something to. Oh my heavens. Are you like a real stamper if you don't look on Pinterest? Oh, I don't. That is usually how I start my creative process. I get on Pinterest or Instagram. Or YouTube now, right? Yeah. And I just look for ideas that people have done. And sometimes I love an idea so much that I'll just copy. But sometimes it's just the thing I need to kind of like the inspiration. Yeah, the inspiration to just get me going and yeah. I love that. That's I'm glad we're all in it together. Yes. I'm glad that usually someone else has played with something before I have. I know people get their orders so quickly. It's fun. I love this one, this hay. That's cute. It is cute, huh? Yeah. The curly, cute little cord. Trying to like pre-think where it's going to end up here. So I think I'll do like a blue card base and then maybe here for you. Oh, I took them all out though. So cute. Just a little white hair for you down here, I think. Here we go. But I did, you guys, I made Aubrey cut out these. Here's a little tip. I cut mine directly to the line because I am not a very straight cutter, but it looks really, really cute with a little bit of a white rim around it. Yeah. Yeah. I should show you. I threw mine away because it was so bad. I do it with a little white rim. Yeah. So there's the difference. If you don't, and if you do, it just gives it a little bit of a frame, right? It's like dimension, yeah. Yeah. So leave a little white rim and hopefully you're really good at cutting because, sorry though. You okay? I'm fine. I'm not a very good cutter. She bumped her. I can cut. I'm just, it's not very straight, which is awful. I'm trying over here. So just find a fun friend who can cut it out for you. Cut for you. Look how cute. Just a little dimension, right? Just popped it up. That is really cute. You could still mail it, but it just kind of gives it something different than just flat on page. Yeah. I like that. That's kind of fun. Okay. Going with it. Let's see. I should have done that before I put it on. Okay. Let's see what happens if I add it now. I love photopolymer stamps. Like I said, I'm not a super straight cutter. Also not a super straight stamper, but I love those photopolymer stamps because it just kind of helps me. Cute. Aw, really simple. Super cute. Is that a regular card size friend? Yeah, it will be. So I'll do, I don't have any balmy blue cardstock sitting here, but I'll do like a cute, just a card base of balmy blue behind it. And then actually maybe, maybe I'll do another curly queue with my other super cute linen thread that I made here. Linen thread. Baker's twine. Baker's twine. Whatever. Anyway, maybe I'll do that. Maybe we'll, oh, cute. Oh, I love with the hearts. That's fun. I really love that. Hey, I know, it's so sweet. It's really cute. I wish we had more like that. Well, but they have this one, right? So Aubrey's making her own little cord. Oh, I used it on my other one. You might be able to kind of see it on the camera. Yeah, right here on this side. It's cute. It's like a little they have a stamp for it too. Yeah. So that's really fun. All right. Well, I will get my this card finished up and we will go and post them all on the Stamping Jill VIP Facebook group. I'm so proud of you. I was thinking about it ahead of time. Usually I'm sitting over there mouthing it to her, but Jen's there today. So she's awesome. Yes. So I will go, I'll finish this one up and then we'll go and post them. Yeah, I think I have one more idea as well. I wanted to make like a trio of three that kind of coordinated. So I'll finish up mine with a little bit more of that designer series paper. Love it. And we'll post them over there. Go find it there. And if you don't have this stamp set yet, the link is in the description of the video. You can go shop for it now. I think it's only $19. It's a pretty good value for this one. It's pretty good. So if it's one you overlooked, go check it out now. Yeah. Okay. Thanks so much for watching. Bye guys.
