Grid Lines for SU! Clear Blocks

Yippee!  My SU! order arrived tonight...included was the new grid line templates to add to the clear blocks.

My initial thought was how heck do I get these on the block STRAIGHT?!  Oh boy. 

Then it hit me...SU! grid line paper!  Line the block up in the corner...

Peel off the...whatcha call it...well...cling vinyl.  Line up one line on the vinyl with a line you can see through the block.  You gotta stand up...and hover over the block.  Then just lay the vinyl over the block...it smoothes right out.  Use the same technique you use to stamp clear stamps using clear blocks.  The cling vinyl grid line template doesn't have to be perfectly in the center of the block; but it should be straight in relation to the edge of the block.  I had some overlap in the larger clear block, but the cling vinyl clings really well and it smoothes right over.  I cleaned the side of the block I was adding the vinyl to and I will use the other side for stamps. 

I only did two blocks - I use these two most at the moment.  The others, I will add if I must have a need for grid lines on a different sized block.  Not a big deal because I thought it was really simple & quick to add the grid line templates.  They remove cleanly and go right back on the sheet (for storage).  They come in a zip top bag with a piece of sturdy cardboard.  I'm impressed.  I like them because I can remove them if I don't need them; put them back on quickly if I do.

Well, that was just one thing...I have some other things in the order...things for my son's baby book and for those...ahem...onesies.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Mr. & Mrs.

I believe this is the first wedding card I've ever made.  LOL. 

My first wedding card.

It was inspired by the CAS July 4 Holiday challenges on SCS - this one was TEA.  So I decided to do some tea staining...the SU! way.  Although, I do have some coffee stained workpapers at work...hmmmm...

This was steppy...and yep...had a craft-splosion.  Bigger than yesterday's...and nope...didn't take a picture. 

I break out the Bella Toile and the SU! markers.  Color the stamp...tap on versarmak...and STAMP!

Supplies.

Pretty.

 Grab the powder pal tray...dump on clear EP...hit it - the card (wink) - with the heat gun...and viola!

After embossing, before tea staining.

Not sure this is my style...but I'll carry on.  Out comes the SU! Distressing Essentials....and I found the cube of Tea Stain.  tee hee.

After tea staining.

WOW.  I was approaching shock territory.  I had to take a break.  I went to fix some supper.  Ham & cheese calzones, with a rabbit salad...I'm tired of salad...I'm growing long front teeth or somethin'.  :-p

After supper, I finish up my card. 

Love the elegant popped up sentiment.

Sentiment inside.

 I love the simplicity of the sentiment and the look of the inside after the business of the outside.

This card is going to work today...it's for a co-worker that got married over the holiday weekend.   SURPRISE!  Indeed. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!
