Two for Tuesday: Layouts & Designer Papers!

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG, 2018 Occasions Catalog, 2018 Sale-A-Bration!, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have two different layouts for you that will showcase the designer paper! We’re going to start with the ever so popular “Banner” card layout …

 

I decided to use the “Whole Lot of Lovely” Designer Series paper … it is soooo pretty, and I can’t believe I have not used this one yet!! The patterns in this package work so nicely together for our banner layout.

I added the “Tranquil Tide” ribbon for my bow. I also used the Tranquil Tide cardstock to cut out my “amazing” from the exclusive 2018 Sale-A-Bration “Celebrate You Thinlits Dies” and “Amazing You” Stamp Set!

Our next template is fun and simple, and can be more fun or have a touch of elegance depending on the designer paper and accessories you choose…

For my second card, I’ve decided to have go with a more elegant card and use the same “Whole Lot of Lovely” Designer Series paper!

Simplicity at it’s finest … the core of your card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ sheet of designer paper. My greeting comes for the beautiful “Charming Café” stamp set found in our Occasions catalog and punched out using the 2″ Circle Punch.

Again … our bow was created by using the Tranquil Tide Ribbon.  Your card making can be so easy if you use simple layouts and use our designer papers to create with.

Hope you enjoyed today’s “”Whole Lot of Lovely” Designer Series paper used on two simple layouts.

 

Thanks so much for joining me today. Enjoy!

A Christmas Bridge Card …

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, Christmas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised … I’m back to share the “Bridge Card” that my Stamp Club members made this month!

I picked 2 of my favorite bundles to create this amazing card, the Brightly Lit Christmas, Carols of Christmas and added the Detailed Gate as my bridge!

My color pallet consists of Whisper White, Soft Sky, Basis Black, Garden Green and a pop of Real Red.

We used the little spots stamp from Brightly Lit Christmas to create snow on our Soft Sky background. The trees are from the Cardfront Builder Thinlets Dies from the Carols of Christmas Bundle (same with the deer).

Since the gate is not wide enough to reach the ends of the card … We used the lamp posts to anchor the card and hid the seam of the gate.

I’m pretty proud of this card … and I love the look of the gate as my bridge. Simple to create and it folds down to slide right into your envelope!

Thanks for stopping back today, enjoy your Friday …

Have a great weekend!

Season Like Christmas …

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

The Season Like Christmas Stamp Set is perfect for stampers who want the flexibility to create something simple and cute, while also having elements that lend well to a more intricate or advanced design when they are really in the elaborate crafting zone.
This is a layered set that can be used to create dimensions within your card. By stamping the trees in darker and lighter shades, you can create a forest wonderland, as in the sample above.

 
Whether you use all the items and make a detailed and extravagant card, or simply choose your favorite to make an understated gift tag, you are sure to end up with a beautiful and festive creation.

Thank you for allowing me to share a part of your day with you!

Two for Tuesday: Carols of Christmas

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy Tuesday to you! Today I have double the “Carols of Christmas” from the Merry Little Christmas Product Suite, one of which is the winner from our 2017 Holiday Stampin’ Retreat.

Let’s start with the card that I cased from Dawn Olchefske (a fellow demonstrator who does beautiful cards). I was drawn to Dawn’s card right away by the beautiful simplicity of the card …

The “Merry Little Christmas” Designer Series paper is the backdrop to this card. The focal point is created by cutting the trees from the “Card Front Builder” Thinlits Dies out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper … the deer in black to coordinate with the rest of the card.

Next, I’d like to share with you the Winner of our Attendee Swap at our Holiday Retreat this year … Guest Stamper: Cindy P.

Our retreat attendee’s vote for the swap cards they like best and the winner receives a Gift Certificate from me to do a little extra Christmas Shopping from the catalog.

Cindy used the “Carols of Christmas” bundle from our Holiday Catalog … stunning! I love the Night of Navy tree’s behind the Silver Glimmer trees, it appears as a shadow and really makes the silver pop!

If you can’t get enough of the Merry Little Christmas product suite which includes the Carols of Christmas bundle … head on over to my website to see more samples! CLICK HERE TO VIEW

Thank you for stopping by today, hope your day is double the fun!

 

 

Brightly Lit Christmas …

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, Christmas, HOLIDAYS, ON SALE!, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy  Monday!! Today I have a beautiful card to share that our Stamp Club did last month. I also want to let you know that TODAY ONLY …. FREE SHIPPING!!

We made this card from the Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle.  This is one of those stamp sets I just had to have … it reminded me of Christmas’ past. Everything about this bundle just brought back some beautiful memories. 

The designer paper comes from the “Christmas Around the World” … not only the plaid design but the wreath and bow!! The dies from the bundle fit perfectly with the designs on the paper.

The lamp post has two different styles of lights … I chose the ones that have the coordinating dies that cut out the “gold” we put behind the lamp! I love it when the light hits it because it appears to actually be lit up… it brings it to life. I borrowed the greeting from a favorite Christmas stamp set for last year (still available) … the Star of Light stamp set found on page 122.

These two stamp sets really make a good team, I think the verbiage works well with the lamp post! I also think FREE Shipping goes good with all your wants and must haves in either catalog!!

CYBER MONDY SALE …. 24 hours Only!

 

I want to offer you a special on Cyber Monday as well … I will DOUBLE YOUR REWARDS … That’s right. I will double your rewards points with each $50 purchase (before shipping & handling)

I know this is called Cyber Monday, but if you need help with your order … email me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com or call 262-334-1009. You will need your charge card but I will help you place your order.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have yourself a wonderful Monday!

Two for Tuesday: Silent Night & Simple Stockings

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG, Christmas, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’ve got double the fun for you! I’m going to share a beautiful card that one of my Holiday Retreat Attendee’s made for the card swap, and I have a super simple way to deck out your Holiday Paper Pumpkin Stocking.

I am thrilled to share a pretty card from my Guest Stamper: Jennifer F. What I love about this card is that Jen took a staple from her stamp collection and created this a fresh new holiday look …

Lovely as a Tree just received a lovely update … I love how it is framed with the use of the Circle Framelits Dies and the Softly Falling Textured Embossing Folder.

The “two” on this Tuesday is an Alternative Project to the November 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. These little stockings are so easy to work with and a Gift Card tucks nicely inside … so hang them on the tree or use them on the gift.

I teamed up my Paper Pumpkin with the fun and amazing Stitched Felt Embellishments from the Quilted Christmas Product Suite. Just a quick dab on All Purpose Glue and your stockings are ready to hang… and I added some pretty ribbon so you can do that!

I see some of you took part in our 24-hour Sale (THANK YOU!!) There are plenty of items on the shopping list, so just click the link below.  Don’t forget the Clearance Rack too.

Projects & Stamp Sale & Tips … Oh My!! It’s all here!

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog, 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG, Christmas, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’ve got a cute project to share and some stampin’ tips that can be used on any projects!!

Stampin’ Up! has produced yet ANOTHER fabulous Paper Pumpkin kit! This November’s kit is filled with adorable mini Christmas stockings. And they are super fast and easy to assemble for gifting as is.

I didn’t change much on this little stocking at all … Basically I extended the Cherry Cobble part of the tag so it shows at the top and bottom, wrapped the leaves around the tag, and ….

… used my new Stampin’ Blends to color the clothes pins that were included in the kit! That’s right, you can color any of our wood elements, rhinestones, pearls, accents or enamel shapes with the Stampin’ Blends.

Next… I jazzed up the stocking a bit by using the Gold Star Sequins from my October Paper Pumpkin kit, just add a touch of Multipurpose Liquid glue.

I choose the stars because of the gold tree and the star at the top… it just ties it all together.

Ready for one more awesome idea? Oh yea … Here it is ~

IMG_3299

You can use the Stampin’ Blends on the stocking to die it to match the October card … how awesome is that!! I love this, and you can make it any color.

If you can’t get enough … join me and the rest of the Paper Pumpkin family on a FACEBOOK LIVE event  …

Champagne -n- Sparkle

Posted in 2017 Holiday Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I’m back today with another of my retreat cards! The Year of Cheer product suite was a great way to send off our stampers on our final stamping session … our grand finale!

Today’s card features the beautiful sparkly pattern from the Year of Cheer Designer Paper and the Champagne Foil paper… add a piece of Window Sheet and you have a spectacular card.

The designer paper and foil was layered to hid the window sheet, but my true trick for this card was to stamp your greeting before assembling the card! The sweet sentiment comes from the “Add a Little Glitz” stamp set found on page 21 of the Holiday Catalog.

I also barrowed the die cut snowflake from the “Swirly Snowflake Thinlets Dies”. This is one of the bundles I have highlighted earlier so go back through my posts and discover even more great cards.

Thanks from sharing a part of your day with me today, and I’ll see you again tomorrow 🙂
