Today I’d like to share with you the opportunity to get this exclusive hostess set ‘Good Greetings’? It’s on sale at the Year End Closeout for just $10.19. There are tons more deals starting at just $1.99. It’s a good time to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to me and get some of those items you’ve been wanting. .
Here are just a few of the items that I had made using this fabulous stamp set …
As you can see, the “Good Greetings” stamp set is very versatile … these are only a few, just think what you could do!
Today I’d like to share with you a quick and simple card with a touch of elegance. The elegance is brought into the card with the use of the “Painted Blooms” Designer Series Paper that will be available with the kick-off of the Occasions catalog on January 6th.
I can’t wait for the Occasions catalog to go live … it’s full of amazing stamp sets and accessories. This paper is just one of them. It works beautifully if you are in need of a quick yet pretty card!
I chose the blue flower pattern for today’s card and highlighted the yellow centers by adding the button and ribbon from the Sale-a-bration bundle!! The base of the card and mat on the greeting is Wild Wasabi.
My sentiment (or greeting) comes from the Main catalog and can be found in our hostess section on page 238. I could not resist getting the “Let Your Hair Down” stamp set for my hostess dollars … it just reminded me of my friends!
So that is my card share today … I get requests all of the time to post quick and easy cards. Why not, don’t we all need a card in a pinch!
Thank you so much for stopping by today …
Have a great one!
Just a reminder … There are only 4 days left of my “Sweet End of Year Deal”
Today I’d like to share another card we made at my Star’s Christmas Party (The Star’s are the lovely ladies that have joined the Stampin’ Up! family under me) It’s a sneak peek into the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs!
Our base color is Tempting Turquoise … my choice for a gender neutral card. Every now and then you will find expecting parents who still want to be surprised and do not want to know if it’s a boy or a girl!
I used the very “fun” Celebrate Today stamp set from the new Occasions catalog … If you are one of my regular customers you should have received yours.. if you didn’t please email me so I can get it sent out to you! (email: lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com)
This is just the cutest stamp set and great for birthdays, babies, graduations and more! I know you ladies will come up with some fantastic ideas of your own too. It’s a “two-step” stamp set!
Now … I am really excited to share with you the coolest designer paper “Irresistibly Yours” Specialty Designer Series paper. The designer paper is white with glossy patterns on them so you can color it! I love, love, love this!!
You can sponge it, as we did on this card, you can use your brayer, you can dye it by watercoloring with the Aqua Painters, or spritz it with color … you can even use the “masks” to create an alternate pattern as shown in the Sale-a-bration catalog. Yes … I said Sale-a-bration, which means you can get this awesome designer paper FREE with a qualifying purchase.
The new year is right around the corner and so is Sale-a-bration! I can’t wait to stamp with you, and share some fabulous new products with you right here!
Thank you for stopping by today!

I love that Stampin’ Up! is always right on track with the “hot” techniques and latest products for stamping, and I’m excited to share with you the NEW Chalkboard Paper in the Occasions catalog. Cool right? Well hang onto your socks because they also brought us “Chalk Ink” pads!
Here is my card share today … This is one of the cards that I did as a Make & Take for my Star’s members for our Christmas party this year.
This paper is a bit heavier and has a smooth grain that pairs perfectly with the Chalk ink and our White Stampin’ Chalk Marker. The chalk ink is permanent and creates a realistic chalk effect. You can find these on page 25 of the new Occasions catalog.
Also from the Occasions catalog is our “Birthday Bash” Specialty Designer Series Paper …. I picked out the Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry colors from the DSP as my base colors because I thought it was gender neutral. It’s always nice to have cards around that can be used for anyone.
The Chalkboard paper really is the focal point and it highlights our greeting which comes from the “Big Day” stamp set. Yes, you already got a sneak peek from this set on Saturday (click here to view).
I love stamp sets that have a greeting and words to match that I can put inside …
Ice cream and cake … it’s making me hungry! I think I should have added some designer paper to the inside to add a bit more color! Hmmm … that is why I like stamping with my friends, we share ideas and end up with even better cards! Right ladies!!
Hope you enjoyed the break and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Today I want to share a few of the Christmas cards that I have received from friends and family. You will see that some of the stamp sets used are retired, but I figured many of you have those stamp sets so you would yet another card idea!
Enjoy ….
Cindy used the “Ornamental Pine” stamp set found in the Holiday catalog.
Many of you will recognize this ornament that Nancy used, it also had framelits to match.
This Christmas card was from my Mom. I believe our friend Sandy H. helped her with this card.
Barb used the “Pinwheel” technique for her card. The greeting comes from the Christmas Bliss Photopolymer stamp set.
Wooo Hooo … the weekend is here! I will need it to finish up my Christmas shopping. Hope you are already done and just putting on those finishing touches so you have some time to relax.
Yesterday I told you that I would be sharing another sample from the December Paper Pumpkin kit, and I teamed it up with a Sale-a-bration stamp set!
In the kit we got several sheets with die cut stars to punch out and use in our shaker card, so I cut mine apart and …
used the strip of stars as the focal point on my card. I picked the Pistachio Pudding strip and accented it with the Smokey Slate cardstock. I added the Pistachio Pudding Thick Bakers Twine for some added dimension and texture.
The “Happy Birthday” greeting comes from the upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set: Big Day.
Sale-a-Bration is right around the corner, and it’s a great way to get FREE stamp sets and accessories! I’m so excited with this year’s SAB catalog, it’s filled with fantastic products!
Sale-a-Bration begins January 6th and runs through March 31st. Let me know if you need a catalog! I’d be happy to help you earn some free goodies!

I am really excited to share with you what I created using my December Paper Pumpkin! First I’d like you to watch the video on how to put together the cards in the kit ….
I think the videos are fun to watch, and they inspire me. However I already had my cards created before I watched this months video. I love shaker cards … Who doesn’t?
First I will show you my card from the kit, just a twist from the Stampin’ Up! instructions, and one more way you can put your cards together ….
For those of you who know me, you know I’m just like you and don’t want to see anything to to waste! Well, here is what the “greeting” sheet looks like …
and what do you think I thought of … that’s right, “Make a card out of that!” So I cut off the piece that I had taken my “hello” from, measured it and cut a piece of the “Dazzling Diamonds” Shimmer paper. I just used it a couple of days ago so I still had it out on my stampin’ table.
I love that the greetings are on adhesive sheets so I would not loose the little pieces from the h – e – l … well you get my drift! lol So it was easy to transfer this onto the glimmer paper and add those little pieces to complete the word. I popped up the greeting with our Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Since I used the “Lucky Star’s” embossing folder for some texture on the base – Bermuda Bay cardstock, I punched out some additional stars with the “Confetti Stars Punch”. I attached them with “Crystal Effects” and a tooth pick!
This card was so simple to make, and I think it’s adorable!
My Pumpkin Pals and I get together to put together our kits, plus I always have an alternative product for them. If we don’t get together, I post or send them additional samples ideas.

Oh what a sweet surprise in my mailbox! I love getting my Paper Pumpkin, always a treat …
Stampin’ Up! wraps it so nicely … just like opening a Christmas present!

Oh my … and the stamps are fabulous, I will be using them a lot, hard for you to see with that silly flash!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Since I took Saturday off from blogging, I figured I would share a special post with you today. I am going to show you a progression of cards, from simple to a touch of glitz.
I started ever so simple with the “All is Calm” Specialty Designer Paper and the “Wintertime” stamp set. I haven’t used it yet, but have been dying to get my hands on it and stamp!
My core colors that I used are Pool Party and Island Indigo … even though those are not listed on the designer paper pack, the Pool Party went well with the pattern I chose.
I simply inked up the stamp with the Island Indigo and stamped directly onto the designer paper… assemble and you have a cute and quick card! Simple can still be pretty.
Now … If you’re one of us who like some sparkle to your cards, my next sample illustrates what a few rhinestones can do for your card. Oh my that’s pretty!
If you’d like to step it up a bit more and highlight the greeting, simply stamp another image onto the Whisper White cardstock … cut it out … and mat it with a little piece of Island Indigo.
Wow… that really adds dimension and gives your card a new look.
If you still don’t have enough sparkle … then instead of the Pool Party mat behind the designer paper, you could use our beautiful (and new) Dazzling Diamonds Shimmer paper.
Look at how that makes the entire card pop! So whether you like a more simple and subtle card or full out bling … you can see how easy you can transform your cards.
So head off into your stamp room and have some fun! Feel free to share your projects with me (lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) I’d love to share your project with our stampin’ friends on Linda’s Stampin’ Escape blog… with your permission of course!
Hope you are doing well. I’m great … took the day off yesterday to spend it with my downline to celebrate the Holiday’s, stamp, eat, share ideas and relish the new catalogs!
One of the perks of being a demonstrator is being able to order the new products out of the “Occasions” and “Sale-a-bration” catalogs. I always make sure to order right away so we can look, touch, and play with the new items at the Christmas party.
Today I am going to share two of the cards from the party …. you’ll have to tune in during the week to see more.
First we’ll start with Barb’s card. Oh it just warms you up like a nice spring day … are you ready for spring yet?
Barb used the “Everything Eleanor” stamp set for the focal point of her card. The colors are Pistachio Pudding and Wisteria Wonder … how pretty. The greeting comes from the “A Dozen Thoughts” stamp set and was highlighted by using the Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches.
Next we have Kathy’s card … a sweet card for baby!
Kathy used the “Something for Baby” and coordinated it with the “Baby’s First” framelits. You can save 15% if you bundle the two of these! She also used “Label Love” for the greeting on the card.
This fun card used several punches to highlight the focal points of the card, and topped off with the heart border punch.
I will have a list of ingredients below for both cards.
Thank you for stopping by today … Have a great one!
