We all get it – that dreaded ‘stamper’s block’ where we look at the beautiful papercrafting products in front of us and can’t think of ONE thing to make….devoid of creative juices. Well, do not despair. There are ALWAYS things we can do to get ourselves creating again.
- CASE a project – To case is to Copy And Share Everything…
- You can CASE a project from the catalog. That’s what all those beautiful samples are for — make it exactly as you see it, or take your own twist at it!
- CASE something from Pinterest – Make sure you give credit to the person who originally made it. This is just common courtesy.
- Take out a stamp set you haven’t used for a long time. Maybe it’s an old favorite! It might just stir up some creativity!
- Die cut different shapes from all kinds of dies! I love having little stashes of my favorite diecuts — especially sentiment dies — so I don’t always have to pull out everything to make a single sentiment piece!
4. Die cut shapes from our Designer Series Papers that coordinate with our dies. They’ll be ready the next time you want them!
5. Make a kit! The Stampin’ Up! kits are so handy and fun – everything you need it right there, no thinking involved. And they’re beautiful!
6. Stamp some images using Tuxedo Black ink and color them. Use your Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Markers, or colored pencils. Coloring can be so relaxing.
7. Ephemera, ephemera…I even like just saying the WORD! Use the new Ehemera packs to make a quic, and fun card. The graphic elements use the Stampin’ Up! colors for perfect coordination!
Any of these steps might easily get your creativity moving in the right direction again!
