Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I am totally excited to share today’s card with you!! As some of you know, Eileen and I have been working on the upcoming Catalog Kick-Off party and this holiday weekend was no exception! But yesterday I came up with the cutest card made with the “Friendly Wishes” stamp set.

Friendly Wishes is just one of 7 stamp sets that will be featured at the Kick-Off party.  We will also have 7 boards showcasing additional card samples so you get an idea how fun and versatile these stamp sets are… Oh yes, and I raffle these boards off at the end of the night, so seven lucky winners go home with these fabulous cards!!

And here is one of those cards …

000_2356

This super cute and easy card was created with the Friendly Wishes stamp set and I teamed it up with the “Pretty Petals” Designer Series Paper Stack. Don’t you just love this pattern! Oh my gosh… I love it!

I added a bit of color to the greeting by highlighting the “BEST” with a marker, and stamping the flower.

I used the “Chalk Talk” framelits but found that I had no Calypso Coral ribbon, hmmm … what to do? So then it popped into my head … ya, you have a “bow” builder punch! And presto … the card was complete!

This view shows you how pretty the bow really is, and the great dimension it adds to it.

000_2358

We all love pretty cards, but that doesn’t mean they always have to take 3 hours to make! Use your designer paper … that’s what it’s here for.

We have another 5 cards showcasing this set, but you will have to come to the Kick-Off party to see them all. (A total of 42 card ideas!!) Remember … you must RSVP by this Friday, July 10th. Click Here to view full details and e-mail me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com to RSVP.

I also want to give a quick shout out to a second wave of new “Pinterest” followers! Thank You!!

Have a beautiful week … I’ll see you tomorrow with the newest wave of Weekly Deals 🙂

The Rose …

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Sympathy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am sharing a special card that I created because of the passing of my Aunt. I wanted something simple yet beautiful, and I found that in the “Timeless Elegance” Designer Series Paper. It is so pretty and reminds me of old photographs.

I remembered a technique where they colored on Black & White photos, so I used the Pink Pirouette marker to color only one of the roses. My way of saying she has now entered a most beautiful place, and will be greeted by all our loved ones who journeyed there before her.

000_2299

I used the shading on the paper to make my pink a little deeper, just color over that area several times until you get the desired shade.

The base of my card is Basic Gray and then the Pink Pirouette to pull out the color of the rose. I also layered a pop of Basic Black to really draw the eye to the card.

My greeting (sending sympathy and prayers…) comes from the “Petite Pairs” stamp set and has a sweet sentiment for the inside (to heal your heart).

000_2297

I carried the Pink Pirouette to the inside of the card and then used Very Vanilla, it coordinates with the “Timeless Elegance” designer series paper.

You could color all the flowers in and stamp a Happy Birthday greeting on it.  I think this paper is so pretty and very, very versatile!

I have included a list of ingredients at the bottom so you can view the items separately or go to my on-line store.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Take good care ~

A Wonderful Man … Sneak Peek

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

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I have returned home and created a “sneak peek” for you today! I will be introducing you to a new “Hostess” stamp set, designer paper, and one of the new In-colors! 

For those of you in my Stampin’ clubs … the catalogs are in, give me a call and we’ll set up a time for you to get yours!  All club members will receive their copy for FREE. Those of you who have purchased during the past few months with a qualifying order … you will receive yours by mail!!

Anyone else in the U.S. who follows my blog and does not have a current demonstrator, all you need to do is place a $50 order from My Stampin’ Up! On-line Store and I will send one directly you – FREE as a Thank You!

Now … on to the card!

000_2275

Let me begin by introducing you to the new “Hostess” stamp set … “Happy Birthday Everyone”.  The font is gender neutral and “any” age appropriate… how perfect!  It also contains: to an amazing women … to a good friend … to you … love … and to my darling. It comes in wood or clear mount.

I stamped the greeting in Island Indigo and Delightful Dijon (one of the new in-colors) to coordinate with the new Bohemian Designer Series paper.  I had a hard time picking out what pattern I wanted to use, so many great ones to choose from.

000_2273

A little layering of cardstock and your card is complete. I think the rich hue of the Island Indigo works so well with the warm Delightful Dijon. We are going to have a blast with the new colors this year!

Thanks for dropping by today …I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek.

Have a warm & wonderful day ~

Simply Sunday: Sneak Peek

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

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

With the new catalog just around the corner, I wanted to share a sneak peek with you! Today you will get to see the beautiful “You’ve Got This” stamp set!

I will also introduce “Watermelon Wonder” … one of the new 2015-17 In-Colors!  The background stamp is included with this set.  I stamped off so it was a bit lighter … I must say, the new pads are very juicy!

000_2267

I stamped the flower and greeting (also included in the stamp set) with the Momento ink. I love this ink pad (still love my StazOn) but the Momento ink cleans nicely off the stamps.

The beautiful lace ribbon is new and is “Watermelon Wonder”. The ribbon comes in each of the 5 new In-Colors.

If you are looking to create beautiful cards, quickly … here’s the answer.  This pretty little card could be sent out with birthday wishes, get well, thinking of you … even a sympathy card. So very versatile.

000_2267

You will be able to order these items on June 2nd!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Have a beautiful day ~
