A Happy Birthday Note … Quick & Easy!

Posted in Birthday, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Burrrrrrrrrr… it is cold again this week.  This has been a “heck” of a winter!  Hope you’re all holding up … even those of you in the 60 to 70 degree Arizona warmth. (tee hee)  We’re jealous!

Today I’m going to share with you a simple layout that will work with any Designer Series Paper and Stamp set.  Of course, I chose one of my favorites… you guessed it, I’m using the Timeless Talk Stamp Set and the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper.

What a fantastic Birthday card!  Gender neutral … that is always good when we are creating cards.  A bit nostalgic, and I guess that is what draws me to this stamp set.

This sweet stamp set should be a must have in everyone’s collection … I love that the greetings are included in this set.  It includes a “Thanks” … a “Hello” … and of course the “Happy Birthday”.  Seems to me that rounds it out pretty good.

This card is so simple to make, I don’t have a lot of instructions.  The only thing that I forgot to add to my list was the “Ovals Collection Framelits”.  You can find them on page 186 of the annual catalog & Idea book (the big one) or click on the link.

  I must say that I do use the Black StazOn ink pad whenever I stamp black images.  I think it works the best.

I added a few pearls just to jazz up the card a bit, and used my “Sharpie” marker to color them black.  You “MUST” use a Sharpie / permanent marker so that it does not rub off.

Stay warm … have a wonderful weekend and …

Have a great day!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today is a quick and simple post for a quick and simple card.  Inspired by the group of ladies who participated in my “Timeless Talk” class, I’m sharing another card using the paper design they suggested.

They thought that this pattern from the Modern Medley Designer Series paper would work great with this stamp set … so here it is.  I think they are right, don’t you?

With a little help from my BigShot and the Circle Collection Frame-lits, I highlighted the phonograph.  This sweet but simple card would work nicely for a birthday or just to “send a note” to your friend.

I added a few banners from scrap pieces of the Modern Medley paper and tied it all together with the beautiful “Crochet Trim”.  Everything you need to make this card can be found in our current catalog.

SIMPLY TIMELESS …

Posted in Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

I can’t believe it’s Friday already, however I am sure there are some of you who are sayings … “It’s Finally Friday”.   Time seems to be flying by, which brings me to today’s post.

Last night I hosted a stamp class using my favorite new stamp set in the Idea Book and Catalog… Timeless Talk.  I love the nostalgic look of this set and have probably said so a million times.  The class was based upon 3 simple ingredients.

First and foremost is the “Timeless Talk” stamp set (Wood – 126605 / Clear – 126607) found on page 19 of the catalog.  Second is the “Modern Medley” Designer Series Paper (126926) that is on page 164.  And the last ingredient to the class was the Basic Pearls (119247) on page 171.

I held true to the coordinating colors of the “Modern Medley” Designer Series Paper … Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  I also added a splash of Real Red on a couple of the cards.  On this card I added the “Real Red” (119247) Stitched Ribbon.  This card really reminds me of yesteryear… when days were calmer, and more relaxed.

We had a nice time in the class and talked about how this precious stamp set brings back memories.  We also had a good laugh as we discussed “party lines” …  something kids now days would not understand.   And phone numbers were not as long as your social security number.  Our old number was 4-7725! THE GOOD OL’ DAYS!

If you are interested, I would be available to host this class for you and your friends … just contact me ( lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com ).

Enjoy your day  … and remember, the weekend is almost here!
