Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Just a quick post today … I am having technical difficulties (computers!) but I have two cute projects from the Stampin’ Up! catalog to share with you using the “Friendly Wishes” stamp set.
This is one of the 7 stamp sets that will be featured at tonight’s Kick-Off party. Although we will not be doing the Chalkboard technique as shown below …. this is the perfect set to use it!
The cute paper is from “Everyday Chic” Designer Series paper! Next is a cute project …
I’ll be back tomorrow with the Weekly Deals and hopefully some of the fun from the kick-off party!
Have a wonderful day!
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Today I have another Simply Sunday card share for you. I chose the Friendly Wishes stamp set and paired it with the beautiful English Garden Designer Series Paper. The outcome was a beautiful card that you would be happy to share with a friend …. a friend everyone wishes they had!
I used our new “Lot’s of Labels” framelits. It frames the verse beautifully and is matted with Early Espresso. I used Blushing Bride and the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents punch … notice how the four petal flower coordinates with the flowers on the designer paper!
I’m introducing the new Metal Rimmed Pearls on this card, I thought that it was the perfect choice for the top. The “friend” was colored in with the writing tip of the marker (not the brush tip). I stamped the greeting in Early Espresso, and if you used the brush tip, you could smear the two colors.
To finish off my card I popped up the greeting and added a scrap piece of the designer paper inside. There really isn’t any scrap … is there!
Thank you for sharing a part of your day with me.
I hope you have a wonderful day … spend it with a friend 🙂
TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …
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 …
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 ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Hope your day is going well. Yesterday I posted some of my favorite items from the Clearance Rack … one of them was the Snowflake Card Thinlit Die. We all love those “flip” cards, so today I’m going to show you one that we made at last years Holiday retreat…
We used Smoky Slate as our core color and then added the designer paper. We slip the end of the cardstock over the top of the end piece on the die so it would not cut it off. It does however leave you a nice score line so you can fold it in.
We even stamped on the inside, so you wouldn’t get bored when you open it up. lol
Simple to make … I’m sure your friends will flip over a card made with this fun framelit.
Thanks for stopping 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 …
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.
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 🙂
Thanks for stopping by ~
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Just a quick note to say “THANKS” to all my new Pinterest followers … I’ll be sure to keep posting my projects & collecting great samples to inspire you.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I know I usually post “Simply Sunday” with quick and easy card, but I wanted to share a card with you that I made. The inspiration came from fellow demonstrator Clair Daly … one of our Australia demonstrators.
I changed up the color pallet and wanted my focal point to be the dragon fly … that will bring your eye directly to the “HELLO” greeting which comes from the Tin of Cards stamp set.
My main stamp is the new “Awesomely Artistic” and is it ever. I really like this stamp set and it will be one of the “featured” sets at my upcoming “Catalog Kick-Off Party” Click on this link for full details
My color pallet consists of Sahara Sand, Whisper White and Early Espresso. The dragon fly’s are done in Pacific Point, Crisp Cucumber and glitter!! I will admit that the dragon fly’s are “fussy” cut … there is no punch or die for them (I know … so sorry).
The background was created using the “collage” technique … I haven’t done that in a while, so I thank Clair for the inspiration!
Enjoy your day & I’ll be back tomorrow with another cute sample! Maybe something a bit different!!
Thanks for stopping by ~
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
A Happy 4th of July to you! Today I have a twist to my blog post … I’m going to share some card samples and information from my Pinterest page.
I’ve noticed that one of my cards gets “pinned” a lot, so I checked it out and it has over 1000 pins! How exciting! I posted this card onto my Pinterest page quite a while ago …
I liked the card a lot when I made it but was surprised that it got more pins than some of my others. The next card I’m sharing is also from the Six Sided Sampler set. It took me longer to create it … it’s hard to see from the photo but I actually created a template to follow so I could recreate the card over and over.
There are areas that are punched out, and others where the punched image is added to the card front. There is a lot of dimension and really looks better in your hand!
So I dug a little further into the analytics of my Pinterest page and here are the 5 top boards on my pinterest page …
1. My Stampin’ Up! Creations (Cards I have made)
2. Stampin’ Up! cards I Like (Some are mine but others are from other stampers that I like!)
3. Paper Pumpkin Creations (I have a board with my alternative projects, and great cards from other subscribers)
4. Masculine cards (You like your man cards!)
5. Quick & Easy Cards (Most are my creations)
If you click on any of the titles … It will take you to that board on my Pinterest page.
I like this … it gives me a good idea of what my stampin’ pinterest followers want to see from me! So if you haven’t already … go to my Pinterest Page and “follow me”. I’m also open for suggestions … feel free to leave me a note in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
So … let me share just one more card from my Pinterest page that I created using the Six Sided Sampler …
I love this one!! I hope you enjoyed the parade of cards today… again, feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks so much for spending your time with me today!
For my US friends … have a safe & happy 4th of July, and for the rest of my stampin’ friends … have a wonderful weekend.
See you tomorrow ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Well … we are over the hump and one day closer to the weekend, and a Holiday weekend too! A perfect time to celebrate.
Today I’m celebrating our new In Colors!! I have teamed them up with a great technique that I taught my Technique Club this past June. The Marker to Block Watercolor Technique … so simple but it can make a dramatic impact!
We took one of the clear blocks and colored it with our markers, you can add a second color to create a bigger WOW effect. Then simple spritz it with water until it starts to bead up … then press it onto your cardstock. We used the Whisper White … no special cardstock needed!
It’s an amazing site when the colors create the beautiful watercolor look. Let it dry a bit and then you are free to stamp. We masked the left side of the card so our image looks like it is captured in the block. The stamp set we used is the new “You’ve Got This” stamp set.
Here is the card done in each of our new In Colors. I marked them for you. Check out how nicely the ribbon, cardstock and inks coordinate! Love it!!
I hope I inspired you to pull out your makers and spritzer and create some wonderful watercolor cards.
Thank you for joining me today …
Hope your day is full of color… Have fun!!
TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Happy July!!
Are you looking for pretty cards that are quick and easy to create? Well … I have the answer for you! Join me in the English Garden …
English Garden Designer Series paper that is! I don’t know what it is, the watercolor look, the color pallet? I don’t know, but I am drawn to this paper. It is really pretty and will be the focus of today’s card.
You can get 6 pretty cards just from the sheet I used here … what’s really cool is, none of them will look alike. I simply cute my designer paper into 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces, then mount them onto the Soft Suede card stock.
I added banners to this card, however you can use circles, rectangles or any of the fabulous framelits! The greeting comes from the “Tin of Cards” stamp set. I finished off the front of the card with a bow created with the Whisper White Seam Binding.
Inside I used a left over piece of the designer paper and added a touch of the Soft Suede before mounting them onto a piece of Whisper White.
The card maybe simple to make but it has an air of sophistication that any one of your friends would love to receive.
This one is for a special friend who is fighting a battle and I just want to let her know that I’m praying for her and think of her all the time. She has always brought a smile to my face when we get together. Stamping truly brings wonderful people into your life … I’m blessed.
Thank you for spending part of your day with me …
I hope yours is a happy one!
