It’s not a Sneak Peek without a card …

Posted in Christmas, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

So sorry for the late post today, but I know you understand who sometimes life gets in the way! Besides extra hours at work, I’m busy planning several upcoming events …

  • Thoughtful Branches Class
  • Hostess Appreciation Party
  • Holiday Catalog Launch Party
  • Holiday Retreat

I’m excited to share a brand new stamp set and thinlits that will be in the Holiday Catalog! I’m not sure I could pick a favorite so I decided to start with the big guy … You got it!! SANTA CLAUS!

I’ve teamed up the “Greetings from Santa” stamp set with the “Detailed Santa” Thinlits Die to create this cute card …

000_3544B

The thinlit die makes it super simple to create this card, in fact … it does all the work. The “Merry Christmas” greeting comes from the “Greetings from Santa stamp set, and so does the “Ho! Ho! Ho!

I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter to jazz up Santa’s hat and the surrounding swirls.

000_3545-Front

The inside of the card has Santa’s list stamped in Basic Gray and the question of the season is …”Naughty or Nice” stamped in Real Red. This is complemented with the new “Candy Cane Lane” Washi Tape. I LOVE IT!! and used it on the front of the cards as well.

000_3547

You are going to LOVE the new Holiday Catalog … so many wonderful new items to share with you.

Thanks for checking in on me today! I’ll be back tomorrow with my Simply Sunday series of cards.

Have a wonderful weekend ~

Sneak Peek …

Posted in Business Opportunity, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am totally excited today!! My pre-order from the Holiday Catalog came in yesterday … woo hooo!

I must admit, that I was so tired from a long week at work that I didn’t even open the box until this morning! I just have to share the excitement with you, plus I have some really cool things to share with you about the Holiday Catalog ….

IMG_20160805_072645

First, I want you to know that Stampin’ Up! is introducing “Marker Packs” … this is a set of two markers that coordinate with a product suite!  Yay … you can now get the markers you need for your projects without having to buy the entire family pack! Just what you asked for 🙂

Scrapbookers …. they also brought back 12 x 12 card stock. These also coordinate with the product suites, so you’ll find them in Real Red, plus combo packs of Real Red & Garden Green for Christmas and a Halloween Night 12×12 Card stock pack of Basic Gray & Pumpkin Pie.

Just so you know … You don’t have to be a scrap booker to love 12 x 12  ❤  I use it when making gift tags. Cut your card stock into 6 x 3 inch strips and fold in half, it makes the perfect size gift tag and you don’t have any leftover card stock!

If you can’t wait to get your hands on these, join me and the rest of the Stampin’ Up! family … Starter Kit is only $99 and you can choose items from the Holiday Catalog. Then you can begin your journey (I’m here to coach you) and make extra money for Christmas or just play with you new goodies!

Meet new people

There is no obligation, however we have a blast and I would love you on my team of Stars. Contact me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com  or CLICK HERE to begin.

Thanks for stopping by. Remember … your catalogs will be shipping out next week!  Hang on, because I didn’t even get all the goodies I wanted!!

Have a great day ~

ThrowBack Thursday: Blooming Birthday

Posted in Birthday, New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I would like to share a post from August of 2014 … It’s still as relevant as it was two years ago. This is a sweet and simple birthday card that will bring a smile to anyone who receives it.  I used the new “Flower Patch” stamp set!  This is one of our Photopolymer sets, and makes the two-step stamping super simple because of the clear images.

I have a video for you to view that highlights the “Flower Patch” stamp set …

My card base color is the new In-Color Mossy Meadow along with the Whisper White which truly highlights to ink colors we will be using on our card.

The flower was created by stamping our largest image first, in the lightest color: Crisp Cantaloupe.  I then layers the Calypso Coral next, and completed the flower with the Cajun Craze… and topped it off with a pearl.

000_1352

STAMPIN’ TIP:  The leaves were added behind the flower by creating a mask.  Stamp the largest flower image on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out.  I always cut inside the line.  Then place it over the flower and stamp your leaves … it gives the appearance they are behind the flower!

It’s been a while since I’ve used a two-step stamping set and forgot how fast you can create a beautifully layered, colorful card.  I added the Daffodil Delight flowers in the background to create another pop of color.

There is no longer a bundle available as this was an earlier post.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and video!

Happy Birthday ~

Put down those scissors—there’s an easier way!

Posted in New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent the day yesterday with family celebrating by brother Richard and his wife Sheila’s 30th anniversary. It was very nice gathering and we were all honored to see them renew their vows.

Yesterday I shared the Flourishing Phrases stamp set with you and you got to see how versatile it really can be. Today I would like to share with you a video that highlights how to use the new Flourish thinlets! I absolutely LOVE this bundle!!

Put down those scissors—there’s an easier way to cut detailed flowers and images! Using the Flourish Thinlits Dies and the Big Shot, you can make multiple die-cut flowers in minutes. Watch as we show you how…

The video highlights the layers needed when using the “new” Big Shot Platform and the “Precision” base plate.  I currently use the “Precision” base plate in conjunction with my Standard Cutting plates (the ones that come with the Big Shot) fully closed (all tabs down) and one cutting pad.

As soon as I get my new Precision base plate, I will let you know how I feel they cut. I’m sure they will work great.

Now … be sure to stop back tomorrow because I’ll share my card creation with you using this fabulous bundle: The Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and Flourish Framelits.

Till then … Have yourself a fabulous day!

Better Together with Swirly Bird!

Posted in Birthday, New Product Intro / Video, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope this Saturday finds you well. It’s a bit warm here in Wisconsin – hitting in the 90’s with some of that fine humidity! It appears summer is right around the corner and I know some of you have been waiting for this!

Speaking of summer, I have a cute card for you that fits right in! Picture a warm summer day sailing across the cool waters …

000_3450

I created this card with the absolutely “fun to play with” Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlets Bundle! With the 4th of July right around the corner and “blue” such a nautical color – I chose the new “Dapper Denim” and teamed it up with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

000_3457

The greeting and verse used on the card come from the very versatile stamp set, Better Together. I am using this stamp set for both of the cards shown today. You can also see a variety of the words used in this prior post – CLICK HERE to view.

 

My second card was cased from another demonstrator, but I turned it around and added my won touch. Isn’t that what we all do? The catalog is your first reference for card samples 🙂

On this card I used the swirly from the framelits and the flowers and dots from the stamp set. This card highlights the new “Flirty Flamingo”. I teamed it with Smokey Slate, Whisper White and the elegant Silver Foil.

000_3453

The silver swirl draws your eye to the greeting “Just a Note” which is anchored with the cute little bow made out of the new “Flirty Flamingo” Ruched Ribbon. The rhinestones really tie the card together with that little touch of bling.

000_3455

We brought the stamped patterns from the card fronts, and repeated on the inside of the card and on the envelopes! Just ties it all together so nicely.Both of these cards were created for my June Technique Stamping Clubs … we are now done for the year but will be starting up again in September. 

000_3459

Would you like to join us? I have a few openings in my Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday Morning groups. I will also be starting up a Monday night group and a Saturday afternoon group. 

Stop back tomorrow and I’ll show you more samples and give you a few more details. Till then, have a wonderful day!

Thanks for stopping by today.
