Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for August. This month we are showing off our favorite crafting tools – those Stampin’ Up! tools that we just can’t live without. We hope you enjoy our projects!
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Jane Knudsen at See Jane Stamp, stop number 17 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.
When it came down to figuring out what Tool to feature there were just too many options to pick from! In face I got a bit overloaded with possibilities…and then my Demonstrator Pre-Order arrvied and everything changed! I haven’t had the chance to really dive completely into my box yet, but there was one product that I just had to try. Shockingly it wasn’t the stamp sets, bundles, or papers…it was the NEW soon to be release Fine Tip Glue Pen! Yes, you read that correctly! Stampin’ Up! is releasing a Fine Tip Glue Pen that I absolutely love and I could not wait to get my hands on! I wanted to use it as a test run with the Metallic Sequin Assortment that I ordered when the Annual Catalog came out that I hadn’t had the chance to use yet. I just love the results!
I was not too sure how well the Tombo Multipurpose Glue would do on the Metallic Sequin Assortment simply because even sparingly it seems to come up to be a bit too much for something as delicate as Sequins. That was simply not an issue or even a concern with this card. Not only does the glue come out of the Fine Tip Glue Pen in a clear stream, but just a bit of pressure and there is enough hold for any thin items. I can’t wait to try this new adhesive out on the amazing Butterfly Dies we have and a few of the upcoming Holiday Catalog items! I have used a lot of adhesives in my papercrafting career (I started scrapbooking in High School), but this adhesive has a special fine tip applicant and a pin in the cap to keep this glue sealed and ready for ease of use. I know once you give it a try, you will see why I simply had to showcase this Tool on the Too Cool for School Pals Blog Hop!
Now on to the card details, yes, I know I started to ramble a bit above. I used the fabulous new No Bones About It Stamp Set. I create a simple card really making this Dino pop off my card and added the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Pad in the background. Something about this pattern made me think of cave paintings so I decided to add footprints in Whisper White Craft Ink in the background to mimic what one might find if they were in an archeology dig. Now, this is a card, and as such I thought it needed some bling. I decided to use these Metallic Assortment Sequins to make the footprints stand out and of course show off my new Tool too! I really like how this card came together, I hope you enjoyed stopping by as well!

I just tried out the Fine Tip Glue Pen yesterday…works like a charm!!! : )
totally agree, that Fine Tip Glue Pen is a must have!
I am looking forward to trying the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I love the combo of the Go Wild Paper and that Dino. You have inspired me to add that stamp set to my wish list
I was suggested this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether
this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem.
You’re amazing! Thanks!
I’m not sure why but this website is loading very slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Yes! Finally something about gamefly free trial.
I visited multiple blogs but the audio feature for audio songs present at this web page is actually superb.
At this time it looks like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one
and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much
appreciated.
What’s up friends, how is all, and what you want to say
concerning this piece of writing, in my view its genuinely
remarkable for me.
