Teresa Collins Stampmaker Training Session


Sunday was a very full day.  I arrived in good time for the training sessions on the Teresa Collins Stampmaker.   If you would like to see a few highlights of the things I learned, I have written a brief summary in my post on the Scrappy-go-Lucky blog HERE.  I'll be finding out and sharing more information about this amazing machine which will definitely change your crafting life!


Show registration was not at all crowded today - that will change tomorrow!  I am always impressed at all of the logistics that go into putting on a show like this.


Despite the heat, I thought it would be nice to walk the short distance to my hotel after being in an interior room all day.  If I had known that the sidewalk was gone and I'd be pulling suitcases through this construction, I'd have given up and taken the shuttle!


My hotel room has the neatest alarm clock - and I have it set to make sure that I don't oversleep and miss my first class tomorrow morning - Tim Holtz will be there!

At the top of this post you can see yet another way to use this machine.  Apparently jewelry making is a fast growing segment of the market for this awesome machine.

Please post any questions you may have about the Stampmaker and I'll do my best to get answers here at CHA.

  3. I've watched how amazing the machine is on Above Rubies Studio. I can hardly wait for you to get it and put your artistic hand to work. No one can come up with projects like you can.

  5. LOVE the retro alarm clock. AND it looks like you can set it without haveing to have an engineering degree~ I'm never quite sure that I have the alarm set at most hotels. Enjoy the show and learn lots~

  9. Hi Diane,
    Need your help w/CDS please. After I open CDS I can't use half of the Shape Properties. I have tried to make the screen smaller but to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks so much,
