Free Tutorial Friday: Thanks A Bunch Card

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

It’s time for Free Tutorial Friday! Direct from the pages of our Sale-a-Bration catalog comes the Thanks A Bunch stamp set!

You’ll “carrot” a lot about all the things you can do with the Thanks a Bunch Stamp Set. This Two-Step Stampin’ set makes it easy to build a vegetable garden scene. With more than half a dozen greetings to choose from, you can create friendship- and spring-themed cards for a variety of occasions. Harvest these playful images and greetings for yourself!

Measurements: 

  • Card Base: Pumpkin Pie- 4 ¼” x 11”
  • Cardstock #2: Pumpkin Pie- strip 2” x 5 ¼”
  • Cardstock #3: Basic White- 4” x 5 ¼”, 2 ¾” x 4” layer, and 2 ½” x 1 ¼” for sentiment
  • Cardstock #4: Garden Green- 3” x 4 ¼”

Instructions:

  • Score the Pumpkin Pie card base of the long side at 5 ½” and fold.
  • Stamp the small carrot bunch mostly on the sides of the 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White layer in Pumpkin Pie. Add the tops of the carrots with Garden Green ink.
  • Attach this layer to the card front using Stampin’ SEAL. Then, attach the strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock on top with Stampin’ SEAL.
  • Take the last Basic White layer and stamp three large carrots in Pumpkin Pie. Start in the center and add one to each side. Then, stamp the detailed stripes on the carrots using Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the carrot tops in Garden Green ink.
  • Attach this layer to the Garden Green cardstock layer using Stampin’ SEAL. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and add to the center of the card front.
  • Stamp the sentiment using Calypso Coral ink on the last piece of Basic White cardstock. Die-cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
  • Make a faux bow with the Garden Green ribbon and attach it to the card front using Mini Glue Dots. Add the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.
  • Lastly, add three gems to the card front.

Thanks a Bunch for dropping by today! Wishing you an awesome weekend.

You are the Key to My Heart

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I kicked off my Catalog Launch party … It was a great start. My Stampin’ Friends are the Key to my Heart because they are the Heart of my business and they make my stamping classes, clubs and retreats so worth while and so much fun.

This is the Alternative project I shared yesterday ….

Here are the cards I shared during my LIVE demonstration on Facebook last night …..

I even gave away a FREE “Key to my Heart” Paper Pumpkin kit last night. All the names of the attendee’s watching LIVE were in the drawing … yep, all they had to do was join in and watch.

Here is the awesome February kit: Remember that there are Sale-a-bration Rewards when you subscribe to one of our three Pre-Paid options.

Thank you so much for stopping by today … Why don’t you join us on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page.

Have yourself an amazing weekend.

Here are the Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions …. It’s a great time to check out Paper Pumpkin because you will earn FREE product during Sale-a-bration!

Key to My Heart: Alternative Paper Pumpkin Card

Happy Friday Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised, I’m back to share my Alternative Card from the Key to My Heart Paper Pumpkin kit. I used most of the items from the January kit except for the Vellum oval that I cut from the Framed Florets Dies.

The original design has 3 padlocks on the front … I borrowed one! Then I knew I wanted to use the Key to “unlock” their heart. I used the vellum oval to really highlight my heart lock and key, and with dimensionals on back, it gives it dimension as well.

I added a little bow to my key which is included in the January Paper Pumpkin kit, and it ties in the color of our heart lock. Then I stamped my greeting in Fresh Freesia and trimmed the ends off the banner.

One of the main reasons I love the Paper Pumpkin kits is the Exclusive Stamp Sets!! Not to mention you can collect many colors of “spots” ink pads and the ease of having a kit so you can whip out a card when needed … no lengthy though process to design your own card.

Stampin’ Up! thinks of everything because you also get a coordinating envelope, and that’s what Stampin’ Up! and Paper Pumpkin is all about …. COORDINATION. Making our lives easier.

Thank you so much for checking back to see my alternative card.

Have yourself an amazing weekend.

Here are the Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions …. It’s a great time to check out Paper Pumpkin because you will earn FREE product during Sale-a-bration!

Simply Sunday: Simply Gorgeous Dainty Flowers Card

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy Sunday! Today I’m sharing a super simple card that is Simply Gorgeous using the Dainty Flowers Designer paper you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration.

For those who don’t know what Sale-a-bration is, it’s Stampin’ Up!s most anticipated time of year because YOU can earn FREE “exclusive” products now through February 28th. Yes, sometimes the freebies sell out, so I don’t hesitate to get the ones I love first! Click HERE to learn more about Sale-a-bration.

Early in the week I shared a cutting technique using the Dainty Flowers (CLICK HERE to see post) and now I want to share what I did with some of the left overs! This piece is 12″ x 6″ – it’s simply cut in half, so you have another sheet just like this one (and a full one too!).

These will show the left over pieces from my first card (they are marked on the paper). Now I’d like to share my finished card and give you the simple instructions to create your own card ….

If you take a look at the layout of the Dainty Flowers paper I have “marked” … the pattern piece I chose for today’s card is on the right. My colors were chosen to highlight the daisies of Mango Melody with Early Espresso centers. The third color I used was Old Olive to bring in my greens from the designer paper.

The Early Espresso card base is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and is scored and folded at 4-1/4″ (basic A-2 size). I had to trim the top off my designer paper from 6″ to 5-1/2″ to match my card base. The Mango Melody mat behind the Dainty Flowers designer paper is 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″. Simple measurements for this simply beautiful card (the designer paper does all the work)

Speaking of this designer paper, I had to share a close up so you could see the “look” of texture that it has. We don’t have to do anything … it’s already there for us. It adds such a warm and natural look with these beautiful flowers. And the flowers, well … I have fallen in love with the “watercolor” look. It truly is a work of art, and to share this masterpiece …. just add cardstock.

And a sentiment, which comes from the Dainty Delights stamp set. I suggest the bundle so you don’t have to “fussy cut” any flowers, the dies will do that for you! I’ll share more of that with you as well. Today the sentiment was punched using the Double Oval Punch.

Just so you know, when you purchase the Dainty Delights bundle, you can chose the Dainty Flowers Designer paper for FREE! It’s a perfect pairing. I will also be hosting a Dainty Delights Class in February.

I thank you for taking time out of your Sunday and sharing it with me.

Have a beautiful day ~

Here is a list of supplies used for today’s card. You can click on any image to learn more about it, or to begin shopping with me. Thank you!!

Pumpkin Card Share …

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.

demoheader_paperpumpkin_demo_1.11-1.27.2014_US_CA

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!

000_0943

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”!

000_0944

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!

000_0948

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.

000_0950

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.

Again, thanks for stopping by and have a great day ~
