Technique Tuesday: Layered Flowers with Punches

Posted in Get Well Cards, Punch Ideas, Techniques by Linda Schnabel

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

While searching for a card for a friend, I came along a card that I had made a while back and wanted to share it with you.

I remember when I first saw how a fellow demonstrator made this flower and thought how cool is that! I personally wouldn’t have thought about putting these two punches together, but I’m glad she did!

You begin with the “Blossom Punch” … I think most of you have that one already. Then you will use another popular punch the “Modern Label” punch. Most of us pair this one up with word window. Don’t worry if you do not have these punches, I will have the links at the bottom of my post for you.

OK… as I started before, you begin with the Blossom punch. I punched my flower out of Old Olive on this card. Then I chose Strawberry Slush (same as background) and punched 3 pieces from the Modern Label punch. I cut those pieces in half and layered them over my Blossom punched flower. It layers so beautifully.

You can choose any design for the center, the one used here is retired. The center is just a piece of designer paper with a nice coating of the Crystal Effects.

The border around the Strawberry Slush cardstock was created with the “Framed Tulips” embossing folder.

And last by not least … one of my favorite greetings “Perfectly Penned”. I hope this one does not retire for a long time! I love it, love it, love it!

Hope you enjoyed this fun technique and try it for yourself. Get creative and pair it with some really fun colors! I’d love to see them 🙂

Thanks for dropping in and …

Have a wonderful day ~

Too Much Happy?

Posted in ON SALE!, Quick -n- Easy by Linda Schnabel

Hello My Stampin’ Friends,

My, my … You can never have too much happy! Such is the thought of my card share today. As promised, I will share with you a sample created with the “Weekly Deals”. Today’s card features the Perfect Pennants Bigz Die… on sale now, through Monday 4/7/14.

Perfect Pennants Bigz Die	123126
Price: ~~$32.95~~ NOW $24.71

Create trendy pennants and banners with our Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die! The innovative designs in these longer Bigz dies give you new and interesting creative options. Ideal for cutting thicker materials and multiple layers. Use with Standard Cutting Pads. Measures 6″ x 8-3/4″.

I figured that you could make a banner using that die. The little decor embellishments work great on your pennants / banners and I wanted to show you how to put them onto a card. Here it will mat and highlight my greeting!

The greeting comes from the stamp set “Yippee Skippee” in our main catalog. I stamped it onto vanilla cardstock, using the black StazOn™ ink.

My patterned paper comes from (some of you already know) the Modern Medley Designer Series paper. Who doesn’t love polka dots!

I teamed it up with this cute little flower from the “Mixed Bunch” stamp set. You can find that on page 89 of the Stampin’ Up! catalog. Many of my club members have this set, so I thought you would enjoy another use for this stamp set. The circles (dots) in the flowers work well with the designer paper.

To create the “pop” on the card I used the Gumball Green stitched satin ribbon and my die cut piece in the coordinating cardstock.

A quick and simple card to make that anyone would love to receive… very cheery.

I’m posting the ingredients below- just click on the link for more details or to purchase. Don’t forget the “Perfect Pennants” Bigz die is on sale through Monday.

Thank you for sharing part of your day with me …

Have a “HAPPY” Sunday ~

Fast -n- Furious Friday – Fancy Floral Punch

Posted in Paper Pumpkin, Thank You by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Well it’s “Fast -n- Furious” Friday again and I have a quick card for you. I incorporated the “Fancy Floral” punch this is included in the Weekly Deals.

I grabbed the leftovers from my Paper Pumpkin kit that I used a few days back and stamped my arrows. Then I took the “Thank You” wooden element and covered it in glue with the 2-way glue pen. Then I sprinkled it with the Silver Glitter that can be found in the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog. I just had to share one more technique you can do with the Wooden Elements.

I then took the Fancy Floral punch and punched 3 flowers out of Island Indigo cardstock. I sponged all three on the edges of the petals, then I curled the petals with my bone folder.

To create a more dramatic look … I cut into the flower between the petals and then glued one over the other to create a smaller flower. The center is punched from the Silver Glimmer paper.

Thanks for dropping in.

Have a Fab Friday ~

Throwback Thursday … with “Tag It”

Posted in Birthday, Christmas, Get Well Cards, Kids Kards by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

With all the social media buzz going on now days, I thought I’d share something fun with you. No … I’m not posting a “selfie” but I thought it would be fun to do a “Throwback Thursday”. So today I’m going to share with you some cards that I had made a while back.

I’m actually going to share a “set sampler” with you. This is a group of cards made from the same stamp set…. today’s set is the “Tag It” stamp set. Some of these you have seen before, and some will be new to you. On that note … let’s get on with the sharing!

My first card is a Get Well card that I paired up with the “Quarterfancy Specialty” Designer Paper. I created it with Daffodil Delight cardstock because I thought it was bright and cheery! I also used the Polka Dot embossing folder and Daffodil Delight seam binding.

This cute birthday card below, is a fun card for the kid of any age … 9 to 92! I love all the bold colors by using the brights collection: Pacific Point and Real Red. I teamed it with the In-Color; Gumball Green (this will be retiring this year!)

The “Tag It” stamp set coordinates with the “Chalk Talk Framelits” found on page 187. I used the tag framelit to create a focal point for my stamped image.

You will also see the cute little “Candy Dots” … I used them to anchor the red banners. All mounted on the Pacific Point background that was embossed with the “Fancy Fan” folder.

The “Tag It” stamp set our Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set. Each year Stampin’ Up! designs a new stamp set to raise funds to help families who have children with serious illnesses. When you buy the “Tag It” stamp set …. Stampin’ Up! will donated $3 to the RMHC. It’s the best kind of gift.

My next card is a fun and bright way of saying … Congratulations! Who wouldn’t want this star spangled beauty to celebrate their accomplishments. Again I used the Chalk Talk Framelits and Candy Dots. I did however team up my stars with the stripes embossing folder.

Oh yes, there is more! Why … because “I DIG YOU”!! Oh my gosh … I love this card (I love them all) but this one is just a neat way to tell someone you care about them.

I used the “Epic Day This and That” Designer Series Paper. The earthy colors work so well with our “digging” tool! LOL Oh my … it’s just too cute!

Oops … I forgot to tell you that I used the “Honeycomb” embossing folder and the fabulously fun to use “This and That” Washi Tape.

I have one last card for you… my “Christmas Around the World” card. OK … I love this one too!

I used the “I Am Me” Designer Series Paper because of this pattern. I just thought “how can you not use that for a Santa card!” Right? Again, I used the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut out Santa. He was actually stamped twice, once in Gumball Green and the other in Real Red. The green greeting were cut out and popped up on the tag.

If you don’t already have this stamp set … think about it. With each set sold – $3.00 goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. To date we have donated over $1,000,000 … because we all care. Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share … this one really touches my heart. I have listed the ingredients for these cards along with the link to view or purchase.

I wish you a warm and wonderful day today.

Technique Tuesday: Wooden Elements

Posted in Quick -n- Easy, Techniques, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

And H-E-L-L-O-O-O April! I think spring is finally here 🙂

Yesterday I showed you the March Paper Pumpkin and how much fun I had creating different looks with the supplies they sent. What I didn’t know was that Paper Pumpkin actually turned one yesterday! And in true Stampin’ Up! fashion, they threw a party …

Paper Pumpkin Turns One!

Even more amazing is the incredible year Paper Pumpkin has had.

We’ve sent out 229,000 Paper Pumpkin projects (say that three times fast!) to our friends.
We’ve helped over 45,000 women bring out their creative sides—(and we know that they were just waiting to break out)!
We even had 13,000 take advantage of our Free Marker offer—ended yesterday!

Yep. Not bad for something that is only ONE-year old!

To celebrate, we held a birthday party at our Riverton Campus, complete with yummy cake, festive balloons, and even party hats.

I told you it was a fun company to be associated with! Well hang in there because my 15th anniversary is next year, and in Stampin’ Up! fashion … I will be hosting parties, specials and more all year long. Don’t worry, you will be invited to them all!

I also told you yesterday that I would show you some fabulous products that we have in our “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog that you could use to recreate the techniques I showed you. We will be using the “Essentials Wooden Elements” and the “Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards”.

On my “Life Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect” card … I used the “Direct to” technique in which we applied the Ink Pad directly to our wood element, the heart. You can see I dragged the ink pad across the heart for a streaked look, as compared to yesterdays card when I fully inked up the wood greeting.

I teamed this card up with the Perfect Pennant Bundle, which includes the Perfect Pennant stamp set and the Banners Framelit Dies.

Yesterday’s card I stamped a pattern onto the wood, today I actually stamped a greeting onto the wood element. I also sponged the edges.

As you can see, the Wooden Elements are very versatile and you can use many techniques on these fun embellishments!

These two cards were also very quick and easy to create, with this combination of note cards, elements and the bundle … the possibilities are endless!

Here are the items that I used to create these cards…

Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards & Envelopes

Perfect Pennants Wood-Mount Bundle

$48.50

Perfect Pennants Clear-Mount Bundle

$41.50

Essentials Wooden Elements

I hope you were inspired to try out some of these fabulous products and / or the techniques I used on the Wooden Elements.

I thank you for dropping by today!

Have yourself a terrific Tuesday ~

Pumpkin Card Share …

Posted in Paper Pumpkin, Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up! card ideas by Linda Schnabel

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

Oh my… It’s March 31st already! It’s been cold for so long that I don’t think we realized that we really are heading into April (and Spring).

I have created a bunch of cards using my March Paper Pumpkin that I wanted to share with you. I also want to remind you that the offer for the FREE Markers (when you sign up for the Paper Pumpkin) ends today. CLICK HERE TO TRY IT OUT

I don’t want you to miss out on the FREE markers if you have been thinking about trying out our Paper Pumpkin. It really is a fun treat that comes to you each month.

Here is my first sample, which represents how Stampin’ Up! pictures the design for you. You will see as we go on, that there are 4 each of the two different greetings in wood, the base cards, two different stamps, and two different ink colors. The cute little glitter dots, envelopes and gold envelope liners are also included in the kit. Oh yes, and they even have “glue dots” included to adhere your wooden greetings!

My second card for you is simply adding a flower created with the “Petite Petal” punch from the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog. I put one of the little glitter dots into the center … did I mention that they are “self-adhesive”!

For my 3rd card, I found left-over oval from another project, and added it to my card. The fun part is … I stamped the arrow image directly onto my wooden greeting! You could stamp any design on these wooden pieces. How fun is that!

For my 4th and final card share, I stamped the patterned image on my card several times to create a wide border. I have to say that using these clear photopolymer stamps … it’s really easy to align it!

Then I used the ink pad (spot) that was included in the kit, to “die” my wooden greeting. I punched a circle out of the envelope liner, and used it to highlight my greeting. The envelope liners are long enough that you can still use the liner for your envelope after punching … as shown below.

I understand that you cannot get this Paper Pumpkin any more, but I did want to show you how neat, and how versatile they really are. If you really like the wooden elements – you can find the “Essential Wooden Elements” on page 18 of the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog.

Pair it up with the Watercolor Wonder Designer Note cards and try some of the same techniques I’ve shown you here. I will have the links at the bottom of my blog for you view these products.

Red Carpet ~ Red Dress …

Posted in Stampin' Event & Opportunity by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I have a fun post for you today! I have a cute card and will be sharing some fun upcoming events and opportunities.

Introducing an all-new event brought to you by Stampin’ Up!:

The 2014 Catalog Premiere!

Be the first to see the 2014-2015 annual catalog . . . just as if you were at a star-studded Hollywood movie premiere! You’ll get a sneak peak at upcoming new releases (AKA pre-sale products) AND–what would a premiere party be without a bit of SWAG (sealed with a gift)? No one will go home from this party empty-handed!

And here’s more exciting news: unlike Hollywood premieres, you won’t have to be in Hollywood to see it first! Why? Because the 2014 Catalog Premiere will be simulcast to a theater near you at the following locations!

Doesn’t that sound like fun??

Stampin’ Up! is consistently working on making their demonstrators happy, and to surprise us with fabulously fun events! Join me, and fellow demonstrators …

YES, you will have to join the Stampin’ Up! family to attend and I’d be honored to have you in my Star’s family. May I say … I suggest joining before the end of March (the 31st to be exact) and you will receive additional money, $150 worth of the products you already love for only $99.

Plus … you get me!

I will help guide you in creating a business that fits the needs of you and your family, teach you stampin’ and business tips, and support & encourage you in your goals. You can also join for the discount! I did, and found there was so much more than saving money on my stampin’ orders!

Any way you look at it … I’d say “give it a try” – there is nothing to loose, but everything to gain (friendships, creative outlet, additional money, and FUN!).

Oh … and one more thing if you’re sitting on the fence … Stampin’ Up! will waive your registration fee for Convention this year! Holy cow, that’s a $290 Savings! I’m going … are YOU coming with me?

Let’s do it! The premier, Convention, and a whole lot of FUN!

CLICK HERE NOW 🙂

Now for my card … it was designed specially for our catalog premier night, because I am inviting you.

You could use this layout for any black tie event that you are hosting … or a prom, a wedding (change the dress color to white and the greeting to Congratulations). You could also use just the dress for a Sweet 16 … the uses are endless.

The dress was created using the “Dress Up” framelits and “Red Glimmer” paper, and then I trimmed it down for a sleeker look. The tux … well, that was free hand.

The greeting comes from the “Make a Wish” stamp set and stamped on Whisper White. I wanted to add that “Hollywood” touch, so I added the “Silver Glimmer” paper behind the white. The Basic Black base ties the entire card together and gives it that “Black Tie” look.

Hope you enjoyed today’s post. I really do think you should grab your glittery little clutch and join us for the premier, and Convention 2014. What a blast we will have…. it’s all about inspiring, creating, and sharing.

List of ingredients are below, just click on them for more information or to purchase.

Thank you for stopping by …

Have a beautiful Sunday!

Birthday Butterflies …

Posted in Birthday, Punch Ideas by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends, and a happy Saturday to you!

Today’s blog post is a simple but beautiful birthday card that you can easily recreate. Let’s begin with my base of Very Vanilla. I chose the vanilla because I had already picked out the designer paper I wanted to use, the “Retro Fresh” from the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog.

The base is simply a half sheet of cardstock – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Next is the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper, which is 5-1/4″ x 3″. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch to create the beautiful edge.

Next … I wanted to create a bit of a “wow” factor, and knew that the contrast between the Early Espresso cardstock from the Core’dinations package, against the lightened Coastal Cabana of the Retro Fresh would give me just what I was looking for! The Espresso is 5″ x 2-1/2″ and leaves a nice border of designer paper.

The vanilla that will be punched with the “Elegant Butterfly” punch is cut to 4-3/4″ x 2-1/4″. I also embossed it to give it some dimension … I used the “Modern Mosaic” folder and placed the cardstock in crooked to give it the appearance of “flutter” lines. Keep your butterflies … you can use them on another card 🙂

Using the “Bitty Butterfly” punch … I punched out 3 butterflies from a scrap piece of the same Retro Fresh designer paper. Each butterfly is popped up with a tiny piece of the Stampin’ Dimensionals and then centered in the Elegant Butterflies negative space.

My greeting comes from the stamp set “Blooming with Kindness”, and is stamped in Early Espresso. This is a simple flower stamp with beautiful verses and I find I use it quite a bit. A good stamp set to have in your collection.

I finished off my card by embellishing my butterflies with 3 pearls each, from the pearl strands. I felt a strand of pearls by the greeting would be the “cherry on top” and would truly complete this card.

Shhhhhhhh … this is my Mom’s birthday card. She loves butterflies and I know she’ll love this card. Her birthday is 4 days after mine, she actually brought me home from the hospital on her birthday. Great little present … don’t you think!? tee hee!

Again, I will post the list of ingredients below, that I used to create today’s card share. For more details on these products or to purchase, just click on the item. Don’t forget … you still have time to get in on the FREE Sale-a-bration items, but it does end March 31st.

Thank you so much for spending a part of your Saturday with me.

Have a wonderful day ~

Fast -n- Furious Friday: Using Scraps!

Posted in Birthday, Quick -n- Easy, Techniques by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends ….

Holy cow, I can’t believe it is Friday again! Don’t get me wrong, I love Fridays … especially when I have off of work until Tuesday! Wooo hooo. I’ll be busy in my stampin’ studio working on my upcoming retreat.

Fridays mean “Fast -n- Furious” cards, and what better way to make a quick card than to grab a bunch of scraps. First let me say that I got my inspiration from “Pinterest”.

I was looking at a few boards and this object caught my eye … it was a board full of “quilting” designs … that’s when the light bulb above my head went on!

What a wonderful way to use up my scraps. This card was super simple to make … I simply cut some scrap pieces of designer paper – 1-1/4″ x 4″. I used the “Gingham Garden” Designer Series Paper.

Since my designer paper had 4″ length … I cut my Whisper White base into a 4″ x 4″ square.

A simple trick to make sure you pieces are centered is to place your base onto your Stampin’ Up! Grid Paper. I love this not just because it’s your stamp pad, but the grid make aligning your projects easy peasy … there’s room for notes, and you’ll always have a ruler handy!

I added a bit of adhesive at the 2″ mark and then aligned my strips of scrap. Did the same for the bottom section. When your laying down the strips, one goes over … one goes under. Super Simple. Then you just adhere the ends.

I picked the Perfectly Penned stamp set because I thought it works well with the feel of the card. Besides, who doesn’t love that font!! It’s done using the Craft White ink and the White embossing powder.

So today’s fast -n- furious card is just a bit of cutting, aligning, and then embossing your greeting. Items used to create this card will be found at the end of my blog. Clicking on the item will direct you to my website where you can view the product more closely or to make a purchase.

One more Kiss …

Posted in Sale-a-bration, Techniques by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday I shared the “Kissing Technique” for my Technique Tuesday post … today I want to show you another card using this fun technique.

Now to keep it simple … I used some of the same items that I did yesterday. I did however switch out the cupcake set for the Kind & Cozy stamp set… I took the center out of the checkered circle stamp… never throw anything away that you may use later!

I inked up the circle and “kissed” it to the center of the Doily stamp… I love the cool pattern you get from centering it! I offset the center circle when I punched out each of the different colors, don’t you love it!! I will post a list of what punches I used at the end of the blog.

I stayed with the same color pallet as I used yesterday, but I switched out the Very Vanilla for Whisper White, since I was not using the designer paper… but I kept the ribbon!!

I stamped two verses from the Starburst Sayings stamp set, and cut them out using the coordinating Starburst framelits. I love that Stampin’ Up! bundles these coordinating items because we save money!! We all know, we’re going to get them both anyway… right?!

Last but not least … I tied all the images together by embossing the background with the “Decorative Dots” embossing folder from the Sale-a-bration catalog. Yes, this is a FREE item with a $50 purchase (before shipping & taxes). It really does add to the feel of the card … not to mention texture.

So what do you think? Do you like the kissing technique? I’m excited to hear about your experience using the technique.

I have listed the items that I used to create the card … just click on the pic for more information or to make a purchase.

Thank you for visiting me today~

Have yourself a wonderful Wednesday!

I like to add both the wood and clear mount stamp sets so you can choose the one that you prefer to use 🙂
