WARM & BEACHY CARD

Hey Stampin’ Friends ~

This card is so simple to make … with a few steps you will have created this cute card.

1. Stamp palm leaves in Evening Evergreen ink and trunk and coconuts using Soft Suede ink. Stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink on Mint Macaron rectangle.
2. Die cut palm, coconut, and trunk images. Emboss the Crumb Cake piece.
3. Assemble palm trees and tear Crumb Cake piece at a slight angle.
4. Adhere Calypso Coral rectangle to card base, followed by the Crumb Cake embossed piece, ribbon and sentiment.

And you’re done! Easy peasy and oh so cute. I hope you enjoyed the Warm & Beachy Card today … I have more from this cute bundle to share with you!!

Making Cute Cards from Scraps!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’m going to show you a really cute card from the scraps left over from the Awash in Beauty Designer paper that I used on the last three cards … I still have four more to show you
after today!! Crazy right!

This card reminds me of my friend Mary … she always is posting pictures of her pretty kitties and her cute puppy, so this is in honor of all of you with four legged children!

I used the reverse side of the floral image on that sheet and loved the pattern … the cute little kitty relaxing in the chair comes from the Sit Stay Relax stamp set found in the Hostess Section of the new Annual Catalog. This is an exclusive stamp set created just for our Host/Hostesses.

You can get this by hosting your own party (in home or virtual … I do both) or if you place a qualifying order. I would also like to invite you to my MYSTERY HOSTESS PARTY this weekend on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page. More details to follow.

The Blushing Bride card base is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ then scored & folded at 4-1/4″. The Awash in Beauty designer paper is cut (3X) to measure 1″ x 5-1/8″ and are secured to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White. The image was stamped onto Basic White using Blushing Bride ink and covered in Wink of Stella. I finished it with Crumb Cake ink.

If you’re not the one who has these cute pets hanging out at your house, you have a friend who does! Just think, you can make this cute card with scraps. Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a list of products that I used in my Making Cute Cards from Scraps post today …

Are You Ready to Say Goodbye? Retirement List is here …

Last-Chance Products Ready or not it’s Retirement Time! Stampin’ Up! has just released the list of retiring products and some items are on sale. Now is the time to get those items on your wish list ordered before they are long gone. I highlighted a few of the products below that I adore and are on sale now. Here are my Top 3 Tips for the Retirement List:
  1. In Colors: All 2020-2022 In Color inks, paper, and embellishments are retiring. These items usually sell out quickly so don’t forget to add ink refills and extra cardstock to your craft stash. You don’t want to miss having these gorgeous colors in your collection!
  2. Bundles: Bundles, with their 10% savings, all retire! Even if the bundle items carryover to the next catalog the discount does not – so if you have your eye on a bundle, get it now and save!
  3. Stamps vs. Accessories: Retiring stamps are available through 2 May 2022. All other retiring items, such as paper, embellishments, and dies are only available while supplies last, so you don’t want to wait and miss out.
Have a beautiful day ~
Stampin’ Hugs, Linda

Friday Frights: Treat Pouches!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ I’m here but limping along on a not so stable laptop, so it’s going to be a quick post to share these cute little treat pouches that I made for you!

Each of these little cuties were make from the “Cute Halloween” Designer Series paper and a few other accessories which I’ll share as I go.

This sheet of designer paper has the polka dots on one side and Pumpkin Pie and Black stripes on the other. I used the Black Organdy Glitter Ribbon and the “Little Delights” stamp set. I also used the “Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins” on this one!

I actually used the “Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins” on all of my Halloween Pouches …

I used a more subtle pattern on this sheet of the “Cute Halloween” Designer paper … I then highlighted it with a cut out of another sheet of the designer paper. That little bat trick-or-treating is just too stinkin’ cute!! I will share more designs along with instructions as soon as I hunt down a new computer … I don’t know what happened 😦 But … I’ll be back!!

Thanks for hanging out with me as I limp through my “technology” issues!

Linda
