STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
It appears as if I have been distracted by this beautiful Wisconsin weather today! A perfect day with all the windows in the house open, plus a planning session for my upcoming Holiday Catalog Launch Party and Holiday Retreat! But I’m here now and sharing a simply cute card using one of the bundles that will be featured at these upcoming events!
Our color pallet was based off the “Presents & Pinecones” Designer Series Paper which mats the “focal point” … the stocking and our greeting: Cherry Cobbler, Mint Macaron and Whisper White.
Who doesn’t love stockings by the fire at Christmas? This is the perfect bundle … with so many options to create your stockings, you wont’ have to make any two the same! You can stamp any of the 5 designs, you can use the different textures included in the framelits, or you can simply use the basic stocking die to cut out a stocking from any of your favorite designer papers! SO MUCH FUN to play with 🙂
If you haven’t signed up for the Holiday Catalog Launch Party … there is still time, and we would love to have you join us. There are going to be 10 fabulous cards and plenty of fun and surprises! Bring your camera! Contact me at … lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com RSVP due by Sept.9th for Monday. Sept.12th.
The “Holiday Retreat” has already filled to capacity … but there is always Spring of 2017!
Thanks for checking in on me today! I’ll be back tomorrow at my regular time.
Have a wonderful rest of your day ~
STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Happy Saturday … and for some of us, an extra long weekend! No work on Monday 🙂 Happy Face!! I love when I can spend more time in my stamping room and play with my new stampin’ stuff.
Today, I have a beautiful card to share with you. We made this card during my “Floral Phrases” class. The focus of the class was to illustrate the different ways that you could use this awesome bundle.
This card was simple to make but looks extravagant. We begin with the Night of Navy cardstock – cut lengthwise. The inside white and white for the front are both cut at 4″ x 5-1/4″.
Place one of the white sheets on the the New BigShot platform and topped with the Precision Base Plate. The Precision Base Plate will deliver improved performance with this detailed die, giving you the extra fine cut. Place each of the floral dies at the end of the cardstock … there will be a space between them.
Once cut, I used the Die Brush to remove the small cut pieces from the dies. I applied the cut piece to the front of the card using my Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped my greeting from the stamp set onto a 1″ strip of Whisper White and attached it directly to the card. Add a few Pearls and your done with the front … that quick and easy, with beautiful results.
The inside of the card has a strip of the coordinating Designer Series Paper – Floral Boutique and another of the greetings/verses that come with the Floral Phrases stamp set. This is the first bundle that caught my eye when I first got my annual catalog … I love it!
Thanks so much for joining me today!
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the beautiful sunshine (I hope it’s shining by you too).

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
I am so excited to say “It’s Here” …
Today I’d like to feature a stamp set that I think is so versatile, you will want this one in your stamp collection. WHY? Because it has a little bit of every greeting for this upcoming season, or should I say “seasons” …
A picture tells a thousand words, so I’ll just show you …
I just love this time of year … it slows down just a bit, the weather cools down and the landscape becomes alive with vivid colors of yellow, red and orange. I can smell it already…
Then we gather with our families to give thanks for all the blessings we have, which leads us right into Christmas! Rosie red cheeks, mittens and Hot Chocolate … yum, yum. We won’t even talk about the Christmas Cookie!
Yep, I love this time of year … and this stamp set captures so many of the sentiments of the season.
Thank you for joining me today ~
Have a wonderful day.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
It’s Monday again! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Today I’m hosting one more “Thoughtful Branches” classes and I wanted to send out a reminder that this versatile stamp set and coordinating framelits ends this Wednesday. It will be so sad to see it go.
I will say it again … If you use “Lovely as a Tree” for your go to stamp set, you will really love the Exclusive Limited Time “Thoughtful Branches” Bundle. If you purchase this bundle on-line by August 31st, I will send you the 3 cards that we made in my class.
It’s so fun to be able to create a seasonal card … you can watch it go from summer to fall to winter!
Below is another one of the tree’s included in the bundle … so pretty.
Below you can see the same tree branches I used above in the background with the die cut tree as your focal point. These are both beautiful cards that showcase the versatility of this bundle.
If you would like to purchase this bundle before it officially retires after Wednesday … just click on the icon below.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope that you have a wonderful week.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
How are you this beautiful Sunday? Hoping you are doing well. I’m feeling much better now that I have my system up and running the way it should (still may get a new computer!)
Today I’d like to share with you a pretty little card that we made at my Hostess Appreciation Party. We used the new “Jar of Love” stamp set and although I love the pretty little flowers that come with the stamp set … sometimes we just need “Quick & Simple” and that’s what I have for you today.
Let’s begin with stamping the jar image … I used the StazOn because of the “true” black color and because we watercolored our water in the jar. There is a “water” stamp in the set if you would prefer to use that. It just depends on the look you want.
We then stamped our foliage into the jars, then began to create our flowers. There are beautiful flowers in the stamp set but when working with a large group of people, it wasn’t feasible to stamp each flower and then cut each flower out (one by one).
We used the “In Color Envelope paper” and the “Petite Petals” punch… together they created bright, pretty flowers that went quick and easy! There are 3 flowers below and then 3 that are popped up with a dimensional. To finish the flower we topped it off with a pearl in the center.
You can find a bow stamp & dies in this bundle but we created our own with the new “Burlap” ribbon. I love this stuff … you can cut it lengthwise to create a narrow ribbon or pull it apart to get more of a “twine” look. Reminds me of grandpa’s farm!
We needed a greeting to finish off the card so we used the “forever friends” from the “First Sight” stamp set. This was carried over from the Occasions Catalog, so if you missed it then, you can still add this great set to your collection.
I really do love the beautiful flowers in the Jar of Love stamp set, but sometimes you just need a “quick” card or a faster way to create multiple flowers when making a lot of cards.
Thank you so much for checking back with me today.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Today’s Stampin’ Supply Highlights …
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
I have been trying to get my pics to post all morning … both my computer and camera are giving me trouble. Technical issues again! Time for a new computer (posting from my phone).
I’m hoping to be back tomorrow with my “Simply Sunday” series.
Thank you for your patience ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I have a quick post with a peek at the Holiday Catalog. With Autumn just around the corner, Stampin’ Up! has given us a wonderful new stamp set that reflects on images of fall.
This pretty card warms your heart with the warm colors of autumn and it’s harvest.
Let’s begin with the core color: Crumb Cake for base and the used to emboss the basket on… then colored using the watercoloring technique.
Our focal point… our basket is matted onto the new Burlap ribbon found in the Annual Catalog and topped off with the Delightful Dijon that you can get from the Holiday Catalog.
I think this is the perfect set for sharing the warm reflections of autumn and friendships.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
I know we have some time yet before Christmas, but I know many of you like to get your ideas early so you can begin your holiday stamping.
Today I’d like to share with you a beautiful Christmas card I designed with the Thoughtful Branches stamp set. It’s one of the cards that we made at my Hostess Appreciation Party. I wanted to used the pretty pine tree from the stamp set and here is what I came up with …
It’s so easy to align the foliage with the branches when using the photopolymer stamps… just make sure you have plenty of ink in your ink pads or the tend to stick to the paper a bit.
I teamed up my Thoughtful Branches with the pretty “This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper” from the annual catalog. This is a great paper stack when making cards because there are actually 4 – 12 x 12 sheets each of 6 double-sided designs … a total of 24 sheets!
OK stampers … put this on your wish list: “Holly Berry Happiness” – this is the stamp set that I took the greeting from – page 27 in the Holiday Catalog. I love the holly, and the bows, and I LOVE the Coordinating Punch!
Last but not least …. I finished off my card with a pretty little bow made from the Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, just as you would complete a gift.
I hope you enjoyed my card today … Remember that the “Thoughtful Branches” is an exclusive stamp set / bundle which end on August 31st, so if you really like this … just click the link I have for you below and you can purchase it today.
Thank you so much for the visit today, hope your day is a good one.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Last week Thursday I shared the August Paper Pumpkin kit with you … today I’d like to share some fun alternative projects you can make with that kit. Being a Paper Pumpkin member is so much fun…
First, you get a stampin’ kit in the mail that has everything you need to create some great cards and/or projects, including the embellishments and the “exclusive” stamp set. Here’s this months …
Many of my stampin’ community and fellow demonstrators are subscribers just for the exclusive stamp sets, because once you’ve completed the kit … you’ll still have a fabulous stamp set in your collection (and an ink spot / a small ink pad). Speaking of the ink spots … I collect them too because they are much easier to carry when I get together with fellow stampers.
Here’s a card design with the components of this kit. With a stamp set like this and a variety of embellishments, there’s no stopping your creativity!
Add the pocket card you’ve created from the kit to a Petit Café Gift Bag with a Gold Binder Clip and you’ll have a gift ready to for a special occasion.
You can create a gorgeous background and a simply elegant design. The style lends itself well to water coloring as featured on this card.
I’d love to see what you create with your Bold Botanicals kit. The refill kit is now available so you can keep on creating… but you must be a subscriber to purchase refill kits and past kits. NOW … is the perfect time First-time subscribers can buy their first month at regular price and get their second month FREE! Use promo code BOGO at PaperPumpkin.com by October 10.
I hope you have an awesome day … and thanks for stopping by.
