Sneak Peaks from Convention!

Posted in 3-D Projects, Christmas, Fall / Autumn by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Convention may be over but the fun will soon begin … with you that is!! I’m still in Salt Lake City and I have already begun planning so fascinating stamping events for you!

The new Holiday catalog is amazing so I wanted to give you a sneak peek before your catalog arrives next month…

Let’s start with one of my favorite holidays … Halloween! I actually won this stamp set during one of our “Prize Patrols”

11751960_10153448190592210_6405193210391164454_n

And of course we have to have those “awesome” coordinating framelits to go with the stamp set!

11251820_10153447850557210_901775885438737686_n

Lets move on to my favorite season … Fall ~

11695975_10153448238042210_5983339478524454769_n

A tantalizing peek at these most amazing coordinating products …. I received the stamp set (Happy Scenes) below for one of our “Leaders” gifts

11208654_10153446704032210_7932295865713062002_n

And if lack of time is a concern … got you covered! The answer:  we have fun kits for you that include what you need, eliminates cutting (it’s done for you) and comes with full color instructions … easy! Oh … and one more thing … they are Shaker cards!! You’re friends and family will think you’ve worked for months … but that’s OK. lol

If your looking for something special this year … I have just the answer! I know you are going to fall in love with these beautiful ornaments and coordinating framelit dies! So pretty!!

11800172_10153449961332210_1443968634941546705_n

There is so much for me to show you, but don’t just wait for a stampin’ event … invite your friends over and I will show how amazing these products are! Then earn some for FREE!!

So… what do you think so far? I’d love to hear from you.

Lego Lovers …

Posted in 3-D Projects, Birthday, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Friday is finally here and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend planned. I will be busy cutting for my upcoming Catalog Kick-Off party. I don’t mind doing this at all … and I get to spend time with my sister Eileen. It’s a great time for us to talk about all our upcoming events.

Remember today is the last day to RSVP (lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) to the Kick-Off party.

Today’s project is so cute!! I found it on the blog So Shelli (Click to view). It is her personal blog so you will read a lot about her family, the mission she is currently on, and of course … Stampin’ Up!

Here is a the “Lego” box she made for her grandson …

Ashton_bday_legobox_3

It doesn’t look that hard to make so I’m going to try it out someday soon.  I will share it with you then. Shelli had a little help for the stamp set “Boys will be Boys“. Click the link to view more. Here is the stamp set …

Cute … right! I’ll tackle this project after my Kick-Off party … till then, I’ll have plenty more to share with you.

Thanks friends for popping in for a visit!

Have a fabulous day ~

A Gift for Father …

Posted in 3-D Projects, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today’s post is a cute project you can use for Father’s Day or for a special gift for a Dad, Son, or brother! However … I’m sure you know a woman that love’s light houses so she would love this gift box too.

Annual15_p083_full

 

This cute project was started with the cute little Take Out Boxes (135827) and stamped with the steering wheel (helm) of the ship from our stamp “From Land to Sea”.  I love this stamp set!

What is the steering wheel of a ship called?

The tag was created using the “Ornate Tag Topper” punch and the lighthouse from the “From Land to Sea” stamp set. The greeting comes from the new “Happy Happenings” stamp set which includes 14 fun greetings!

To finish off the project, the new 5/8″ Striped Cotton Ribbon in Mossy Meadow was used to create the bow.  Coordinated perfectly … don’t you think.

Annual15_p083_d

Hope you liked this cute little project as much as I did when I saw it.  Stop back tomorrow and I will share with you a beautiful card I created using the “From Land to Sea” stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by …

Have a happy day!

STAMPIN’ SUPPLIES …

Introducing 2 New “FUN” products!!

Posted in 3-D Projects by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Hope you are enjoying your new catalog. If you are one of my customers and did not get yours yet, contact me so I can get one to you.

Today I thought I would share with you two new products, both create fabulously fun 3-D projects!

First, the Baker’s Box Thinlet dies ...

Make a treat extra sweet by presenting it in a box you make yourself. Cut handles, windows, and accents to dress up the base box, then fill it with goodies. With Thinlits dies and the Big Shot, it’s easy to make multiple boxes in minutes. Watch to see how…

 

Now … the Cutie Pie Thinlets Dies!

Make die-cut boxes for individual treats, or create a whole cake! Cut out these boxes in record time with Thinlits dies and the Big Shot—we’ll show you how.

Wasn’t that fun!! Wouldn’t these be cute for a Baby or Bridal Shower? Or Birthday Party!!  Just think of the creative ways you an use these for.

Thanks for checking out the videos with me.

Have a wonderful day ~

Designer Series Paper Stacks and More

Posted in 3-D Projects, Birthday, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Just had to share the “Get Inspired” post by Stampin’ Up! with you.  Check out all these cute projects!!

The new annual catalog is out! Wooh!!! I don’t know about you, but my wish list is enormous. And our new (adorable) Designers Series Paper Stacks are my faves.

Check out these striped and floral patterns! For this project, I used Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Pool Party, and Watermelon Wonder. It takes just a minute or two to make the fun little Designer Series Paper floral accents featured here using the Flower Medallion Punch (item # 137417). Just snip the petals to give them a little dimension, then adhere them to the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

12be816583795661a8962ff0000f7f0e6


Do you love the adorable floral centers? They’re our new 2015­–2017 In Color Blossom Accents (item # 138383)—1/2″ in diameter with 20 flowers per package and four each of five colors.

2

The stamp sets featured here are Friendly Wishes (item # 139579) and Sweet Stack(item # 138948).

Create the tag using the Ornate Tag Topper (item # 137416).

3

Love the new Watermelon Wonder 1″ Dotted Lace Trim; it’s item # 138425 in the new catalog.

4

The cute taffy paper used to make this card is included with the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack (item # 138443). Make the gift box with the Big Shot (item # 113439), the Fry Box Bigz L Die (item # 132966), the All about Sugar Stamp Set (item # 138684) and the Sprinkles on Top Stamp Set (item # 139569). I slipped the treat inside a Gusseted Cellophane Bag, item # 133770.

5

Just for fun, I made a necklace out of stamped doughnuts (see right side of picture). Just make a “sandwich” out of two punched doughnuts with a Stampin’ Dimensional in the middle, then adhere it to the soon-to-be-available-and-super-awesome Silver Metallic Thread (item # 138402). Add a balloon to this cute little ensemble and you have a bright and happy birthday gift for a friend!

Thank you Cindy B. for the awesome projects! Get’s you in the mood to party!

Hello Darling … Guest Stamper: Robin P.

Posted in 3-D Projects, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

When I checked out the Stampin’ Up! “Get Inspired” blog … I found this cute card and project and had to share it with you.  It was created by our concept artist: Robyn P

Gold is the new black—okay, maybe not when it comes to your basic black skirt or pants, but it’s huge in the crafting world. Our Gold Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (item # 133697) has just the right amount of gold. In fact, each sheet has gold metallic ink on it, from a full sheet of gold stripes to little hints of gold confetti.

The gold is paired with other trendy, fun, bright colors and coordinates with the hip imagery in the Hello Darling Stamp Set (item # 133994). Combine these two together to make cards, boxes, and tags that shimmer! You’ll be the talk of the town. Get them fast before they are gone!

Sweet Treats Gift Idea …

Posted in 3-D Projects, Birthday by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I have a cute little project for you … a different twist using the “Petite Purse Bigz Die”. What a cute way to present a little treat to cheer up a friend or to say “Thank You”… just trim off the top!

CreativeProj2_DBWS_USCA_Apr0112

Choose one of your favorite patterns from a designer paper and with the Boho Blossom punch, create a cute little flower for the front. A pretty little bow made from our Daffodil Delight 1/2″ seam binding ribbon.

I love this little alternative to the “standard” purse … so have fun with your die!  Don’t have one? Now’s a great time to order … Free Shipping from Stampin’ Up! and I will pay the tax for you!!

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks to all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday. I had a nice day!

Today’s Stampin’ Supply List …

 

Big Brothers / Big Sisters Organization Stamp Camp

Posted in 3-D Projects, Christmas, HOLIDAYS, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of working with the Big Brothers / Big Sisters Organization. The local Volunteer Center donated the facility for us … it was a wonderful collaboration by all so the “Big Sisters” and their “littles” could spend an afternoon together stamping.

000_1753

The theme for the stamp camp was Christmas… the season of giving. The projects everyone made reflected a “giving theme” and I elaborated that the beauty of stamping is much like Christmas … a gathering of friends.

Our first project we did was the “Santa Card” … so easy but so stinkin’ cute!

000_1757

We used the Real Red cardstock as our base and Basic Black for the belt. The buckle was created with the Silver Foil paper and the Curvy Label punch.

We used the beautiful new “Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper” for the fur on the jacket, and finished it off with the “Happy Holidays” greeting I borrowed from my November Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Our next project was the Christmas Treat Tree Box … this comes from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit. The adhesive is already on the cardstock … all we did was punch out the tree and add a window sheet … Ta Da!

000_1755

I should have put candy in it for you … it really is cute, and who wouldn’t want a cute treat box filled with candy!

Our last project was the sweet little treat box … remember, our theme was “the season of giving”.

000_1754

Create a belly band with any designer paper, the one shown here is retired. My poinsettia flower was created using the “Petite Petals” punch. It takes a bit of layering to get it to look this full but our group did an awesome job!

The front tag was created using the “Cheerful Tags” stamp set … just wanted to add a greeting to our gift box.  These “Tiny Treat Boxes” can be found in the Holiday catalog.

I hope you enjoyed viewing our Stamp Camp projects … I had a wonderful time with the Big Sisters and their littles. I also want to Thank the Volunteer Center for letting us all gather together for the afternoon in their facility.

Wishing you all a fabulous day today ~
