My weekly deal favorites …

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

On Wednesday I shared with you the weekly deals, today I want to share with you why these are some of my favorites!

First let me start with the “Heart Punch” … I love punches, they make creating cards so quick and easy.  Just a couple layers of cardstock, glimmer paper and a greeting!  Simple …

000_0766

Next is the Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper …What can I say, this is an awesome product!  The specialty paper is one sided but it has an embossed side.

You can leave it as is, and just add a greeting or you can emboss over the top of the embossing as was done on this card …

000_0293

 

Ok … if you think that is awesome (and it is) then grab a brayer, ink it up with your favorite color, and brayer that color over the top of this fabulous specialty paper.  The emboss on the paper, resists!  You can do this technique on “any” of the designs.  Check out this card…

000_0297

So those are 2 of my favorites.  Hope you enjoyed the samples.

Have an awesome Friday ~

Dare to Dream …

combined-poppies-800

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Let me first send my thoughts and prayers on this Memorial Day to all the service members and their families, who have sacrificed so much to give us the freedoms we enjoy in this country.  I thank you as well.

Today’s card encourages the receiver to “Dare to Dream”, so whether it’s a graduation, a new job or someone moving into a whole new life experience this sweet and simple card will fit the bill.  It’s simplicity makes quite a statement.

000_1093

I have been choosing to showcase simpler cards lately because our summers seem so busy, especially at this time of year.  Use this quick -n- easy pattern with any Washi tape to create your card and get back to enjoying your summer.

I will say … it’s getting harder to pick stamp sets, because many on the retirement list are quickly selling out.  The “Loving Thoughts” stamp set used for my greeting only has the wood mount remaining … the clear mount set is sold out.

The yellow checked washi tape comes from the “Gingham Garden” designer collection and is currently on sale… 30% Off!!  That is good news.

000_1095

As you can see, I added a bit of the washi tape to the inside too.  Washi tape is so fun and easy to use!

My butterflies were created by layering the punched Bitty Butterfly over the Elegant Butterfly.  I just love the way this looks … oh, and I used the “Watercolor Wonder” designer paper to punch the butterflies out of.  I used the “string” of rhinestones for the butterfly body.

000_1098

I finished off my card by anchoring it with the 3 rhinestones at the bottom.  If you haven’t guessed my color pallet by now … I used Whisper White and the beautiful Daffodil Delight.

000_1093

I have a list of ingredients at the end of my post for you.  Just click on it to view more details or to begin shopping.  We only have a few days left before these items retire for good.  Please let me know if I can help you.

Have yourself a wonderful day.

Fabulously Fun Friday …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope you are having a good day.  I thought we would have a bit of fun today by going back and taking a look at some of my favorite retiring stamps sets and more.

Most of the samples are my cards, but this is a fellow demonstrators card.  If I have their names I’d be sure to share and give them credit, however on our first card, I do not have the creators name.

The first sample is from “Field Flowers” – page 67 of the main catalog….

102_5802

The clear set has been “sold out” but the wood mount is still available.

My next card share is from the stamp set “Gently Falling” on page 65.  Also retiring … both the clear and wood sets are available and the clear mount is on sale at 25% Off.  I will post a link to the stamp sets at the end so you don’t have to search … just click it and you’re at my store.

I made this card with my technique group … it is the Tile Technique.

Most of the time for the tile technique you use embossing with clear emboss powder, however, it was much quicker and easier to use the glossy cardstock and the Simply Score!  I am going to miss this stamp set … I love Fall and it’s amazing colors.

100_5947

Here is another card that I created using the “Gently Falling” stamp set …

000_0136

000_0134

And I can’t forget to mention the Ronald McDonald House Charity Stamp Set ($3 is donated per stamp set purchased)  The clear sets have sold out, but the wood mount is available and at at 25% savings!  Here’s two of my favorite cards from the “TAG IT” stamp set …

101_1359

101_1397

Hope you enjoyed our stroll down memory lane!  I will share the links for these stamp sets at the end of my blog so you can view full details or purchase before they are gone too!  These sets are going fast, and many are gone forever.

Here is just a fun fact for Friday …

The TOP 5 Countries viewing my blog!

Thank you for joining me … Have a fabulous Friday and a safe and Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Weekly Deals …

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

It’s Tuesday and another new set of Weekly Deals!  We have some great one’s … my favorite is the “Adorning Accents Framelit Dies”.  They are fun and easy to use, and they coordinate with the “Adorning Accents Embossing Folder”.  Here’s what I did with this fabulous pair …

000_1004

You can see where the Adorning Accent framelit trimmed that beautiful edge, and then right above it … the folder highlights the cut by adding  a line of texture right above it.  I believe this is a card that I make with my Card Club in 2012… it’s timeless!

I think the Chevron ribbon would work well on guy cards, so I’ll be picking up a bolt of that myself.  It’s nice to be able to try new things … at a discount!

I’ll let “YOU” check out the rest of the weekly deals because there is something for everyone and for all ages.

I will also have a list of ingredients at the end of this post, that I used to create my card share today.

Fabulous Friday … Glimmer Brads and so much more!

Hello my Stampin’ Friends!

How are you today!  I am simply fabulous … and totally excited to share this card and some fun stampin’ tips with you!  I know that I have been doing my “Fast -n-Furious” on Friday’s but the ideas for this card, just kept blooming ….

My idea was to show you a simple and pretty card showcasing the “Glimmer Brads” that are currently featured in our “Weekly Deals”.   Punch 3 flowers with the Petite flower punch and put a coordinating color brad into it.  That was my original idea.

Then I thought … oooh, wouldn’t it be pretty if I put some glimmer paper behind it?  Aaahh … then I thought, why don’t I dye the silver glimmer paper to match the cardstock and glimmer brads!  Hmmm … good idea!

Oh, but it didn’t stop there, I needed a ribbon!  I have 3 bolts of the silver ribbon from the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog … so I’ll use that!  Hmmm… wonder if you can dye that too?  Answer … YES!  Yes, you can!

000_0975

So … what do you think?  Glitter lovers rejoice … all the shine without all the glitter mess.  I will take you step by step through the card and share how I created it.

You will need the Silver Glimmer paper and Silver Ribbon, along with the bottles of ink refills to coordinate with your cardstock, Sponge daubers and the Glimmer Brads.  If you do not want inky fingers … you may want so gloves too! LOL  (I’ll post ingredients at the end, as always)

To dye the Silver Glimmer paper, I dampened my sponge dauber with water … it really helps move the ink around.  It should be damp … not wet.  Put a few small drops of the ink onto the glimmer paper and begin to “daub” your paper.  You’ll be making the motion of a sewing machine … up and down with the dauber (You cannot slide the dauber across the glimmer paper) until the ink is spread evenly onto the paper.   You can always add more ink … either to your paper or to the dauber itself.

000_0977

Now that you have ink on your daubers, I gently brushed them on the ends of my punched flowers to create a bit more dimension.  I then used my bone folder to slightly curl up the edges of the flower.  I poked a hole in the center of my flower with my Paper Piercing tool and then inserted the coordinating glimmer brad.

To dye the silver ribbon … simply place your dauber over the ribbon, and pull the ribbon out from under the dauber.  The ink on the dauber will dye your ribbon.  Turn the ribbon over and repeat the process.  It looks best when dyed on both sides.

000_0975

Make sure you give the paper and the ribbon time to dry, otherwise you will get ink marks on your card base.  If you have the new Stampin’ Up! heat gun … you can use the low setting to help dry it.

I hope you are as excited as I am to play with these fabulous techniques.   I just can’t believe that I never thought of dying that silver ribbon before!!  You know me, I love to dye my ribbons.

Watch for more projects from me using these dying techniques!  Don’t be afraid to send me “your” creations (you can e-mail me a photo at:  lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

Thank you so much for sharing your day with me!

Have a fabulous Friday!!

blog-closing-small

JUST A NOTE: You will get the sale price when you purchase the Glimmer brads, even though it does not show here.  The “Express Yourself” stamp set that I used for my card share today is a “HOSTESS” set which you can get FREE with an order of $150 or more.

Please let me know if you have any questions:  lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

 

Weekly Deals and Card Share …

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am going to share the Weekly Deals with you, along with two cards that I made using the “Make a Cake” stamp set that is on our Weekly Deals list!  I’m not sure if we’ve ever had a stamp set before … that is so cool!

CM1634BWe hope you enjoy this week’s Weekly Deals!

Regular Price: $6.50
Discounted Price: $4.88

Recipes By Design Digital Kit – Digital Download Item # 118869
Regular Price: $9.95
Discounted Price: $5.97

Today’s card share is a couple of cards that I had made using the Make a Cake stamp set …

My “Bride & Groom” card was created in 2012 and not only uses the “Make a Cake” stamp set, but the flower punch from the “Punch Pack” which is also included in the Weekly Deals.  The layering look is created by “scrunching” the flower until the cardstock peels into layers (only then ends).  Just give it a try … it is quite easy.

This designer paper is no longer available, but there are so many lovely papers you could use and match up to the color scheme of the wedding.  The ribbon is the White Organza, and I love this because you can dye it any color simply by adding a few drops of re-inker fluid into some water, then dip your ribbon.  Easier yet … just color it with your marker!

The greeting comes from the “Sweet Essentials” stamp set.  Also used on this card is the Polka Dot embossing folder and the Basic Jewels – Pearls.

As always, I will put the ingredients with links at the very end of my blog for your convenience.

My second card was created in 2013 as one of the first cards I shared when this blog was created.  I used the “Make a Cake” stamp set and combined it with the fun technique of “weaving”.

You simply weave together scrap pieces of designer paper or cardstock to create a fun and interesting mat or background.

On this card, I stamped my cake image directly onto the designer paper and then cut it out to fit into the cake piece.  This makes cake decorating so easy!

The “Make a Wish” greeting also comes from the very versatile “Sweet Essentials” stamp set.  The embossed background was created with the “Square Lattice” embossing Folder.

The punches used for this card are the 1-3/4″ Circle punch, and the “Modern Label” punch that I also used on yesterday’s card.
