“She Believed” Card Share …
Hello Stampin’ Friends<
It’s finally Friday, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. I’m meeting with my Saturday Stampin’ Technique club in the morning, and then I start preparing for the upcoming Holiday retreat. I’ve got some wonderful projects planned for my group, and I can’t wait to get started.
Today I have another card share from Gloria’s Impressionistic Stampers Fall Regional, and downline member (Star’s) Brenda Morateck. It’s a beautiful card showcasing the new In-Colors …
Let me start with the colors … Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush. They look so good together.
The stamp set used to create that “watermark” flowers is “Secret Garden” which is found on page 94 of our annual catalog. Might I just say that each of the flower centers were created “dot by dot” with our “White Gel Pen” (105021). It really ties in all the colors of the card.
The greeting comes from “Feel Goods” stamp set on page 25 of our current catalog. I love this greeting set and use it often. The greeting and the mat (Pistachio Pudding) were die cut with the “Labels Collections” (125598) Framelits.
To finish off the card … the beautiful Strawberry Slush (130023) 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Ribbon was added. Brenda shared a tip that she received from her talented up-line, Debi Krebsbach … When using using ribbon, only adhere it to the card where it will be showing (not under the greeting). This is a fantastic “money saving” tip, especially if you are making multiple cards.
Thanks for stopping by today …
I will have more samples from the Impressionistic Stampers Fall Regional to share with you tomorrow. Till then, have a great day!
Star’s cards to share …
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
I’m back with more from the Impressionistic Stampers Fall Regional. I’m happy to share the following cards with you, as these are some very talented demonstrators and I’m proud to say they are “Star’s” … members of my group.
I’ll begin with one of the newest members to our Star’s group – Rebecca Salminen. She is in my second level, and we welcome her to our stampin’ family. Here is her swap card –
Rebecca used the Warmth & Wonder Stamp set which is a “Hostess” only stamp set from the Holiday catalog … so pretty embossed in gold. Can’t go wrong with “Modern Medley” Designer Series Paper! Can’t tell you how many times I have used it on my cards … love it, love it, love it!
I also love the pop of color by using the Red Glimmer Paper. All I can say is … “Nice job, Rebecca”!
The next card is from my direct downline member and friend … Connie Heersma.
Connie has brought together some bold colors to create this fall Birthday card … and using the ever popular “Lovely as a Tree”. This really is an awesome “go to” stamp set … so versatile! The double stamping creates beautiful dimension.
Hope you enjoyed today’s card share, I will continue tomorrow with more from our regional event.
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy the day!

It’s Flippin’ Birthday Cards!
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Today I’m going to share with you, two of the swap cards that I received at Gloria’s regional event this past weekend.
The first is a card made by Sharon Kerr who used our new “Circle Card Thinlits Die” (133480) that was introduced this fall. It made flip cards quick and easy… just roll it through your Bigshot!
Sharon also used the delightful “Gingham Garden Washi Tape” (129314) and the fun “Blossom Punch” (125603) … both are found in our annual catalog, to create this totally cute card! (Just click on the highlighted words to view the product). I love that she ran the die through the BigShot with the washi tape … and then punched the flower! Don’t you just love the effect!
The second card is from Bonnie Miller. Bonnie came all the way from Minnesota to join us … how wonderful was that. You gotta love her card … this flip technique will never go out of style. You use the layering of the card to secure the string (fishing line, dental floss works too), and then securing the string between the two punched circles.
Bonnie used the “Sassy Salutations” stamp set found on page 39 of our annual catalog for her greeting. I love this totally “fun” font … it just relays “happy”.
Now help me out here, but I cannot place the butterfly … what do you think? I can tell you though, that the background was embossed with the “Modern Mosaic” (129984) embossing folder. Embossing with the folders adds a wonderful texture to the cards.
I’d love to hear what you think …
Thanks for stoppin’ by!
Gloria’s regional, stampin’ fun!
Hello Stampin’ Friend,
I’m back! My apologies for no post yesterday, but I just got home from a Regional event Saturday, and was a bit under the weather (besides my Holiday Stamp-a-stack). I did not cancel my class, and I must say that stampin’ with the ladies made me feel much better!
Saturday I attended (and presented) the Impressionistic Stampers Fall Regional hosted by my upline Gloria Helmbrecht. It was great to see my fellow demonstrators again, some I have not seen in a while! I had an awesome time! Even lunch was a hoot!!
I helped a little in the planning, but was still surprised to see all the wonderful “goodies” packed in the beautiful bags, Gloria had made for all of us.
By all means … these is not all the stamping that we did. In fact, many of the projects are not shown because I will be using them at future stampin’ events. There are even some swaps that I did not include, because they will also be used in my events, classes or retreats!
The theme for the regional was “classes” … projects that the demonstrators could take back to their customers and share! So again, that is why you don’t see all the stamped projects we did.
I will however, share two of the great cards that Gloria did for her “acrylic block” class (I can show you because I don’t have that set, so when I share these techniques with you … they will look totally different!) That’s also why she gave us acrylic blocks in our bag.
The first is a “reflection” technique card … much simpler than it looks. You will need a brayer … so if you don’t have one, put one on your next order.
The “Thinking of You” card has 2 different techniques that are combined to create this beautiful card. Many of you will recognize this stamp set … “Simply Sketched”. It was one of the stamp sets I showcased at my Hostess Appreciation Party. It is a “Hostess” only stamp set, and I would love to help you get yours for free.
Did I think going to the Impressionistic Stampers Fall Regional was worth it … YOU BET!! I came home with idea’s for 3 new classes, additional ideas for cards, and a whole lot of catching up with friends! Let’s not forget the goodies included in that bag! THANK YOU GLORIA!!! It was an awesome day.
OK … I’m off to work, but stop back tomorrow and the rest of the week, because I will be sharing some of the fabulous swap cards I received at Gloria’s regional from my fellow demonstrators and my downline members!
Have an awesome Monday!

Shake your Halloween Booty …
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
It’s Friday … and it’s time to shake some booty!
Today’s card share is a fun, whimsical Halloween card, and super simple to create. I brought out the fabulous “Bootiful Occasions” Stamp Set found on page 24 of our main catalog. To me, this was one of those “must have” stamp sets. It’s fun, versatile … and who doesn’t love shoes.
Because we’re still on our Halloween themed week – I wanted to showcase fall colors, so I chose the Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black … and added the Elegant Eggplant to make the colors come alive!
If you haven’t guessed by now … here’s another design from our Witches Brew Designer Series Paper. I thought the swirlies (reminds me of the Twilight Zone) worked well with the witches boot. The boot was stamped in Black StazOn (my favorite) and then colored in with our Pumpkin Pie and Elegant Eggplant marks. You have to love that everything coordinates … doesn’t that make life easier.
Well I couldn’t stop there … I “HAD TO” add the beautiful Black Stampin’ Glitter (pg. 20) in the Holiday Catalog… easy to apply with our Two-way Glue pen. I added the Pumpkin Pie 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon, just because I wanted to “girl it up” a bit. And to finish it off … Black Diamonds! Also known as our Rhinestones colored with a black Sharpie!
I did a bit of stampin’ on the inside …
The moon was created with the “Reverse Masking” Technique and a sponge, and my little witchy (who grabbed her boot and flew off) is from the “Halloween Hello” stamp set (pg. 21) in the Holiday Catalog.
I hope you have enjoyed my Halloween week, and have been inspired to create some fun projects with the Witches Brew Designer Series Paper, and the fun stamp sets shown. You can purchase any of these items directly from my website … http://www.lindaluvs.stampinup.net or contact me: lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com … I’d be happy to help you.
So have fun this weekend and don’t forget to shake your “booty”.
Thanks for stopping by.
Simply Beware … Glitter Technique
Hello Stampin’ Friends,
We are over the hump and on our way to the weekend! We are also half way through our Halloween week card share.
Today’s card is super simple and super glittery! I began with one of my favorite patterns from the “Witches Brew” Designer Series Paper. Cover the entire piece with the VersaMark™ … I actually just dab the pad right onto the paper.
Then I dip it into my “Iridescent Ice” Embossing Powder. When you heat this… watch closely to make sure it is melting properly. That’s it! I love the way this looks, and the technique has several names, but I call it the “Dazzling Diamond Dust” technique.
I also embossed the “Beware” which comes from the “Halloween Bash” Stamp set located on page 21 of the Holiday catalog. After embossing, I added the Black Stampin’ Glitter (132206) to just the bat, to tie in that “sparkle”.
I said it was simple … and you can do this to any Designer Series Paper. So if you have someone that loves that “glitz”, just add this simple technique and they’ll be starry eyed, and think you are the bestest!
Hope you are enjoying my Halloween card feast … only 2 days left! So get your “booty” back here tomorrow because you won’t want to miss this quick -n- cute card either .
Have an awesome day!
