The envelope is behind it. I have to admit I got a little frustrated trying to figure this one out (and I had directions)! Just a little hint, it helps a lot if you score at all the right places and in the right directions. I got this idea from Splitcoaststampers of course. <a href="http://paperpatty.blogspot.com/2009/02/wanna-camp.html">Here</a> is the link to the directions. You can see more ideas be searching for WW090. Looking forward to seeing all my girls tonight or tomorrow morning. Denise, you family is in my thoughts and prayers. Have a safe trip to Del Rio. We'll see you next time.<br /><br />Karen :)<br /></div>Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032579743941747478.post-34389861449295990092009-04-05T09:43:00.002-05:002009-04-05T09:55:13.348-05:00April Card Kit of the Month><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Comic Sans MS";

I've missed you. This week has exploded on me and I still have tons of stuff to do. Here is something that I made last Thursday. I have secret sisters with my MOMS Club group. I thought I would be sneaky and try and give my secret sis something right away. So I made a gift and took it with me. My secret sister was sitting next to me. When she walked away, I snuck the gift into her purse. As she was leaving, she looked into her purse and found her gift. She looked at me and said "Is this from you?" So 5 minutes into the new round, my secret sister knew who I was. OH well. I'll still have fun spoiling her. Here is what she got.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73qMGjsh8Bw60XCs4Wz8T-oNoNrSWOCXk1bblGrX-9L3hsTUiGA34TppM85RXxYWznSMb8RdLK-elakUxxQLbyS_gceLwjCXnF2LT8c_1sQioVyQfbnKTy0eGgLRyjy_4smagBxMaers/s1600-h/Friend+box+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73qMGjsh8Bw60XCs4Wz8T-oNoNrSWOCXk1bblGrX-9L3hsTUiGA34TppM85RXxYWznSMb8RdLK-elakUxxQLbyS_gceLwjCXnF2LT8c_1sQioVyQfbnKTy0eGgLRyjy_4smagBxMaers/s320/Friend+box+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301902830726247218" border="0" /></a>I cut 2 envelopes with my envelope die and my big shot out of Elegant Eggplant c/s. I don't normally use this color but it was screaming my name that day. I shorted the bottom tab and glued them together to make a little box. These boxes are so cute. I covered some chocolate with my Old Olive <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">DSP</span>. The "Friend" stamp is from the new hostess set called A LITTLE SOMETHING. I stamped it with Elegant Eggplant ink on Whisper White c/s. I punched it out with the designer labels punch and mounted it onto a piece of Old Olive c/s punched out with the Curly Label punch. I love our punches. The bag topper is the top note die used with the Big Shot again. If you don't have this tool, you need to get one. I use it all the time and love it. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Definitely</span> worth the investment for me. I'd love to teach you how to make this little box. Call or email me to schedule a workshop today.<br /><br />Karen Thompson :)Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032579743941747478.post-9657915164745735552009-02-02T13:56:00.004-06:002009-02-02T14:10:55.683-06:00Valentine Box ClassIsn't this the cutest box? I absolutely love how it turned out. As usual, I didn't create the directions, but the way it looks it all mine. You can see the original <a href="http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2009/01/valentines-boxcupcake-box-tutorial-is.html">here</a>. We will be making this box on Monday, February 9th at 6pm. Class is only $15 and you get everything pictured. The first picture is the box in its entirety. The second is with the cover taken off. This will be an advanced class. You will be following the directions and doing the cutting. You will need to bring your paper cutter, bone folder, and scissors. The directions are very good and it is not hard to do. <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzt5u-TqnsISUP8ikm3j3SdylIOc1-qDLBcP0vwNSSF0hqxdeW4o-rMFxo9MgPmgJIZf3tNRyJU1heTUs5PwkoKD6z4r41c1ve-dTD-ii6nJb6EH9ldxklZu8Yha9OBVC29FlM_Gnzzo/s1600-h/Valentine+Box.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzt5u-TqnsISUP8ikm3j3SdylIOc1-qDLBcP0vwNSSF0hqxdeW4o-rMFxo9MgPmgJIZf3tNRyJU1heTUs5PwkoKD6z4r41c1ve-dTD-ii6nJb6EH9ldxklZu8Yha9OBVC29FlM_Gnzzo/s320/Valentine+Box.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298292099969158450" border="0" /></a>Completed Box<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmR-6VNjQiBjaXXudaEwbAsFk2fllzUIl_M8AqUT4fK_oYNRhB8MbJ3-bwJ7Aew1uBRgIItSyX1R9Xr9g25BtN0JCLsRqKdfzOApNSBqimHxrOhqqvsTmyI4DOpZhx-EbSW3A1gQ53ueo/s1600-h/Valentine+Box+No+lid.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmR-6VNjQiBjaXXudaEwbAsFk2fllzUIl_M8AqUT4fK_oYNRhB8MbJ3-bwJ7Aew1uBRgIItSyX1R9Xr9g25BtN0JCLsRqKdfzOApNSBqimHxrOhqqvsTmyI4DOpZhx-EbSW3A1gQ53ueo/s320/Valentine+Box+No+lid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_52982917http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif38897469026" border="0" /></a>Inside View<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Each box has 2 covered peppermint patties, 3 Ghiradelli chocolates, a covered book to decorate anyway you want (pages are whisper white) and finally an acetate box full of kissables.

Would you like to never pay retail again for your stamping supplies? Now is the time to join Stampin' Up! Not only will you receive the 20% discount from the catalog, if you join between February 1st and March 31st, you get an any extra stamp set you want from the catalog and you get it at a 15% discount from normal.

I have been lucky enough to avoid that aisle so far this year, but we still have almost a month left. Here is what I came up with. Isn't it cute?<br /><br />The base is Riding Hood Red c/s cut to 4 1/2" x 7". Score at 1/2" along the 4 1/2" side. Score at 1/2", 3" 3 3/4" and 6 1/4" along the 7" side. Score all the lines. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ok</span>, now this part will be hard to describe so bear with me... Cut up to the 1/2" scored line at all points. Before you assemble the box, punch a hole at the top with your Crop-a-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dile</span>. I used the 3/16" side and punch in 3/8" (use your cool settings). I folded the paper so that I punched <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">through</span> both sides at once.<br /><br />I used 21 1/2" of Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon. I don't know if you really need that much but I'm trying to make it easier to tie bows.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHiiUqJlnFKwePJ4vqCpvIxzxvbfBqHuz6qjOBRU3XLDCIisVPUoAxfA_beWr9jYng7nkeyfmAMwj8nhNZYjgXpOzThProXhyMqCMDwFEmCH2MH-sNiJi79NZRSFJ6dscb37NLZDmMiQ/s1600-h/Sweethearts+box+open.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHiiUqJlnFKwePJ4vqCpvIxzxvbfBqHuz6qjOBRU3XLDCIisVPUoAxfA_beWr9jYng7nkeyfmAMwj8nhNZYjgXpOzThProXhyMqCMDwFEmCH2MH-sNiJi79NZRSFJ6dscb37NLZDmMiQ/s320/Sweethearts+box+open.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293623106554791346" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a picture open. It is a lot easier to thread the ribbon under the box than it looks. Thread the ribbon through both holes across the top of the box, centering it. Now you can push the ribbon down with the box and tie a ribbon on the top. I decorated the front with Candy Lane <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">DSP</span>. I stamped the hearts with the "Love You Much" stamp set in Riding Hood Red ink on Pink Pirouette c/s. It was so easy to punch them out with the "Heart to Heart"punch. I used a dimensional on the medium sized heart to raise it up a little bit. Finally I stamped friend to friend with Black <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Staz</span> On ink in the lower right hand corner. I would suggest decorating the top piece before <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">adhering</span> it to the box. This will make stamping on the paper much easier. Clear as mud? Have fun.<br /><br />Karen :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032579743941747478.post-92157179450549516172009-01-20T20:44:00.001-06:002009-01-20T20:45:53.161-06:00I need your help...As you can probably see, I'm not very good at all this computer stuff.

I have decided to give one away to one of my Open House Attendees. Will it be you? All you need to do is show up. Hope to see you there...<br /><br />Monday, January 19th<br />6:00- 8:00 pm<br /><br />You will get to make 2 projects (1 from the "Game Night" stamp set). Right now, I have only 6 people who have RSVP'd. That is great odds.<br /><br />Schedule a workshop or sign up for a club and walk away with the new catalog that night. I get them on Thursday. I can't wait. See you Monday!!!<br /><br />Karen :)Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032579743941747478.post-75910041662127855832009-01-08T20:07:00.002-06:002009-01-08T20:13:02.713-06:00Get them before they are gone...Out with the old and in with the new...<br /><br />Be sure to check out this link to see all the current, retired, and retiring product you can get at up to 50% off...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/itemlist.aspx?categoryID=385">http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/itemlist.aspx?categoryID=385</a><br /><br />also the retiring product list...<br /><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=381"><br />http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=381</a><br /><br />You just until noon on January 18th to order these products unless they are while supplies last.

Do you want to attend a free class every month? If so, you want to join a Stamp Club!!! <br /><br />How do they work?<br />Commit to purchasing $25 per month (before shipping/handling and tax) for 6 months. Each month, you are invited to a free class where we will do 2-3 projects. 2 of the projects will be cards. These will be something more than I can do in a workshop either due to time, technique or cost. <br /><br />What do I get for my commitment?<br />-Free class once a month (1st Tuesday of the month at 7pm or a make-up Wednesday at 9am)<br />-New catalogs (Spring-Summer 2009 AND Fall-Winter 2009)<br />-Hostess benefits one month during the club<br /><div style="text-align: center;">-at least $15 in merchandise<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">-at least a Level 1 Hostess set<br /></div>-New ideas and inspiration<br />-A chance to build upon your skills and increase your supplies slowly over time<br /><br />Do I have to be local?<br />No. All I need is a credit or debit card on file to pay for your purchases. You will need to email me your order by the club meeting. I will mail your the completed club projects with your order. You will need to add $5 to your club order each month to help defer shipping costs.<br /><br />How do I sign up? <br />Call or email me. Sign up at the open house on January 19th and get extra door prize tickets!!<br /><br />Can I still come and play if I can't commit every month? <br />Of course. You will need to submit the same minimum order as everyone else. Just be sure to RSVP so I have enough supplies to include you.<br /><br />I look forward to playing with all my old and new club gals. I have had fun these last 6 months and look forward to learning more from you.<br /><br />Karen :)Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032579743941747478.post-22730950430914177302009-01-08T16:51:00.004-06:002009-01-08T16:58:19.549-06:00Pick a Petal Class<div style="text-align: center;">When: January 26, 2009<br />Time: 6:30<br />Cost: $45<br />What do you get: Pick a Petal stamp set ($33 value)<br />plus at least 5 cards with envelopes.<br />Pre-pay by January 19th to play.<br /><br /><br />Here are 4 of the cards...<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAdBGnDaiJoA3bS3HgHyLKeiBCYnBTHrBllsme-45fN72G1_xid5jGTZq559HENLAczrIFWE018OTkWqLZxSAvP9NSqgwTU0AevPTiayItOyP9DBvRMX69xwVfIqQeHVNrEQCrgtf0Vs/s1600-h/Pick+a+Petal+Ladybug.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAdBGnDaiJoA3bS3HgHyLKeiBCYnBTHrBllsme-45fN72G1_xid5jGTZq559HENLAczrIFWE018OTkWqLZxSAvP9NSqgwTU0AevPTiayItOyP9DBvRMX69xwVfIqQeHVNrEQCrgtf0Vs/s320/Pick+a+Petal+Ladybug.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289059885100304930" border="0" /></a><br />Ladybug</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGBvqDEcl7S99SetBzZD-cGlgyRvDUmsflN-Pp0gy1v6zmL1vC1-c7NTHzXlLM-L_Rp2DYH2q3wcqWY4h-hZ_cuda3VWAJwIMdbv4xKn0vN-LTkXcL7-NON2aH_jaCiXljmDUiNthh-Ek/s1600-h/Pick+a+Petal+Heart.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGBvqDEcl7S99SetBzZD-cGlgyRvDUmsflN-Pp0gy1v6zmL1vC1-c7NTHzXlLM-L_Rp2DYH2q3wcqWY4h-hZ_cuda3VWAJwIMdbv4xKn0vN-LTkXcL7-NON2aH_jaCiXljmDUiNthh-Ek/s320/Pick+a+Petal+Heart.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289059878799684274" border="0" /></a>Heart</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2bVenmpUYrKq5a1zf5PuQE3CaJ_mxHuR6odl4yDcuQAWmfl55lIxr5nJFoZ-YLwPvbOFdwjZXV_ipcZoqIUgFAfvwKmxn-ShikQEffJx19sZaDsOmzRIr0qRBAdqUvzX7Kl9rDckS-A/s1600-h/Pick+a+Petal+Dragonfly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2bVenmpUYrKq5a1zf5PuQE3CaJ_mxHuR6odl4yDcuQAWmfl55lIxr5nJFoZ-YLwPvbOFdwjZXV_ipcZoqIUgFAfvwKmxn-ShikQEffJx19sZaDsOmzRIr0qRBAdqUvzX7Kl9rDckS-A/s320/Pick+a+Petal+Dragonfly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289059873190217458" border="0" /></a>Dragonfly<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUeACoKzQiyG45IDVdZkNE_6I1wCOXDYAJqZXu-6sV46xFDSCe6deYKcOZD95rwB1jUurmziS2DBTEek-AY2dRx2jNQaH8jjsfPgtFrXcDmgydk3UZdH4hY7EciRiCC9IZqn1LxtpKOs/s1600-h/Pick+a+Petal+Celebrate.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUeACoKzQiyG45IDVdZkNE_6I1wCOXDYAJqZXu-6sV46xFDSCe6deYKcOZD95rwB1jUurmziS2DBTEek-AY2dRx2jNQaH8jjsfPgtFrXcDmgydk3UZdH4hY7EciRiCC9IZqn1LxtpKOs/s320/Pick+a+Petal+Celebrate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289059871841001970" border="0" /></a>Exclamation Point<br /><br /></div>I can't wait to teach you how to make fun out of the box cards with this set.

I loved the kit and now that I've put it together like this, I LOVE IT!! Jason even thinks it is cute. Scary huh? Barbara Mullikin was kind enough to sell me her design and I tweaked it a little. (Very little!! You know me.) I put this together in an hour including Brenden's "help" and taking pictures. Come learn how to make your own on Wednesday, October 29th at 6:30 for just $15. Can't make it, no problem. Everyone gets electronic instructions and I can mail your kit to you for just $5. If you can come pick it up, you save the shipping fee. I must have orders for this by October 21st so that I can get the supplies in time. No adhesive is needed.

Want all the projects completed for you, add $5 more and I'll send you the completed projects. As a reminder, we'll be making a "Rules of Chocolate" dvd tin, a candy pouch, a decorated fruit cup, and a Valentine's day card (this one I'm still working on). Come play with me Saturday night from 5-9!!<br /><br />Karen :)<br /><br />P.S.

You'll never need to buy another one, but a refill.)<br />* tweezers<br />* paper towel to protect your surface<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywe4rGWb9i-pp-7LeNwn1aaxHcUR89G41S1xdZimsHjnL514tVUIct3BihuCIRYV0Hj1UhUezLY1RYIINZ6xnG7hLBaIydaeJaO8dcnyUs7lvvkDgmNzPbwyBl1dCpQ55mxbu9CyW278/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%281%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywe4rGWb9i-pp-7LeNwn1aaxHcUR89G41S1xdZimsHjnL514tVUIct3BihuCIRYV0Hj1UhUezLY1RYIINZ6xnG7hLBaIydaeJaO8dcnyUs7lvvkDgmNzPbwyBl1dCpQ55mxbu9CyW278/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%281%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156840039373804354" border="0" /></a><br />Start with the brush side of the marker.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjho8c-ZRAZvc4mZu1RxzxqK75pcQWWoVu9hIrdh-tje7-UwjPQXyRxq3QKAUzniHK9XaQ4dvD6jTl5hMODIQDc3hyphenhyphenGOwU3ox_H7bV-FpdhA1d-IyZse5CSlizRLxv0rEURZPNqjXWqv38/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%282%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjho8c-ZRAZvc4mZu1RxzxqK75pcQWWoVu9hIrdh-tje7-UwjPQXyRxq3QKAUzniHK9XaQ4dvD6jTl5hMODIQDc3hyphenhyphenGOwU3ox_H7bV-FpdhA1d-IyZse5CSlizRLxv0rEURZPNqjXWqv38/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%282%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156840043668771666" border="0" /></a><br />Use your tweezers to remove the brush part of the marker.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ydl6ETkOrFEno-C3B6mnRAsydbKBR7bxBd2xzCvqch6yAqf3zYECqmoYrW7bqWc3TcraieK6FBMCKwu_TYtbja13q7pbviBcxzqLnwjEIBvBre8HNQ1b4dFUQ1dsEZmtTQmOaxMTObA/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%283%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ydl6ETkOrFEno-C3B6mnRAsydbKBR7bxBd2xzCvqch6yAqf3zYECqmoYrW7bqWc3TcraieK6FBMCKwu_TYtbja13q7pbviBcxzqLnwjEIBvBre8HNQ1b4dFUQ1dsEZmtTQmOaxMTObA/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%283%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156840047963738978" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyE1NDBUH-GaoczRXDj4DQXm24oUzd88EXdWFLpu79zgNe-Z7BQ_S0XESE9muFDz7gBb0hcRizOtFl_Q4sIubpwB5N-vWCj3Fh-8Rd_dNlHvReScfGHBFnfa5c8cfy1ihAXOv9z24bxLo/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%284%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyE1NDBUH-GaoczRXDj4DQXm24oUzd88EXdWFLpu79zgNe-Z7BQ_S0XESE9muFDz7gBb0hcRizOtFl_Q4sIubpwB5N-vWCj3Fh-8Rd_dNlHvReScfGHBFnfa5c8cfy1ihAXOv9z24bxLo/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%284%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156840082323477362" border="0" /></a><br />Add your refill a drop at a time. You'll begin to see the color inside your marker as it fills up. If you're like me, you'll know when you have too much. It's ok. Just know that when you put the tip back in, it will spill over and leak out. Be ready for clean up so you don't stain your surface.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5U9UCC4wrK43AHLSXOdGY674Q-KgOsk5Oa3gEGw-2gp_yAvHvPnl1Fx_YDH3nL98mU6EC4O2s-sNyDWezsu2_jyS0o4ui_GzUHmwaDECmdrO7VVsuoRFk8fKHuBV1xGevaKjBddE12xI/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%286%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5U9UCC4wrK43AHLSXOdGY674Q-KgOsk5Oa3gEGw-2gp_yAvHvPnl1Fx_YDH3nL98mU6EC4O2s-sNyDWezsu2_jyS0o4ui_GzUHmwaDECmdrO7VVsuoRFk8fKHuBV1xGevaKjBddE12xI/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%286%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156842487505163170" border="0" /></a><br />Replace the cap and wipe up an excess.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMaVoVTI-WQEAFIA6J4OCY4qq8T-D-7zqAkqc_7hL80xjPCZw9TPPYKtE2milrOoJitfFLithp-cxXdTQHNDrvSikYu8mSLoBZtMB3cIftTXwd5RnI3HFgKoZKnITfDmC6T3bYG780nD8/s1600-h/How+to+refill+your+markers+%287%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMaVoVTI-WQEAFIA6J4OCY4qq8T-D-7zqAkqc_7hL80xjPCZw9TPPYKtE2milrOoJitfFLithp-cxXdTQHNDrvSikYu8mSLoBZtMB3cIftTXwd5RnI3HFgKoZKnITfDmC6T3bYG780nD8/s320/How+to+refill+your+markers+%287%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156842491800130482" border="0" /></a><br />Stand the marker on its end with the writing side on the bottom. This will ensure that the ink gets distributed to both sides of the marker. I let it sit overnight but I'm sure you can use to again before that. Once you are done, but sure to always store your markers on their side so that the ink doesn't sit at one end or the other. That's all there is to it. Thank you to Brenden for helping me out and taking the pictures. He did a great job.<br /><br />Happy Stamping!!<br /><br />Karen :)Karen :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15143574709206534691noreply@blogger.com4
