Questions about Stampin' Up's Edgelits SOLVED!!!

I've been reading on a BUNCH of blogs that people are looking for tips about how to cut the Stampin' Up Edgelits straight without the CS moving.....I've been doing this technique for quite a while and it's ALWAYS worked for me!! I place my Edgelit (or any small movable die) on my CS, then "hold" it down with strips of Post-It notes on the back of the Edgelit!! You place it on the back so it doesn't cut the Post-It as well....and you can use these Post-It strips for several cuts, so they last a while, and they're cheap!!  Problem solved!!  I also do this with Embossing Folders if I want a specific image in a specific spot!  It's ALWAYS worked great for me!!  Any questions, just ask!

Here's a picture of the Edgelit and what it looks like when I hold it in place with my Post-It note strips!

And here's a picture of the Embossing Folder that has to be held PERFECTLY or else it won't look right at all!

I hope this helps!!

PPA126-Color Challenge

This is the first PPA challenge of the year...a color challenge, and I'm trying to participate in more of these challenges this year.....so I'm off to a good start!

Even though I'm a BRAND new Stampin' Up demonstrator, I didn't use very many SU products here.  I had a few products I purchased last year and wanted to use them, since they were those "I gotta have them" products!  LOL!  I did use the BRAND NEW Stampin' Up Framelits die for my card shape!  I absolutely LOVE these new SU dies!!

Here's the card I made for this challenge:

It's so different than anything I normally make.  What do you think??
