Let’s get ready to party!  The only way to earn this exclusive stamp set is to host a party or place a qualifying order; the Good Greetings Stamp Set will not be offered for purchase and only lasts until October 31!

I am teaming up the “Fall Fest” stamp set from the Holiday catalog with the “Good Greetings” stamp set.  I shared a Fall Fest card with you as a sneak peek, but the catalog went live yesterday.  Click HERE to see that card share.

I used the “masking” technique to create the moon and cloud effect, using Daffodil Delight, Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy.

 The pumpkins were stamped with the Pumpkin Pie and topped off with the Old Olive marker.  The faces were done in StazOn.  I also sponged Pumpkin Pie on the pumpkins so the lines weren’t so obviously white.

My greeting was highlighted with the use of the Word Bubble Framelit dies… It’s a great stamp set!  I’d love to help you earn it 🙂

Stop back tomorrow, I will share a card featuring the “Good Greetings” stamp set and “Festival of Tree’s” stamp set from the Holiday catalog .

Thanks so much for visiting me…

Have an awesome day ~

To my Stampin’ Friends … I Heart You

Posted in 3-D Projects, Product Wow, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am sharing with you a little peek into my Appreciation Party and a new card I designed to say “Thank You”!  Make sure you go all the way to the end … I don’t want you to miss a thing!

Let me start with one of the cards my Hostesses stamped.  We had a stamp camp after the dinner, but my hostesses were treated to two additional cards … my way of saying “Thanks” for stampin’ with me this past year.

The card was inspired by a fellow demonstrators card … the talent pool within our demonstrator circle is endless and very inspiring!

000_1402

Because I will be sharing several samples with you … I will be listing the ingredients after each project, this will make it easier for you to pick out the items you want on your wish list.

The stamp set used is of course, a hostess set … I Like You, found on page 237.  The greeting comes from the Photopolymer stamp set; Endless Birthday Wishes.  My favorite thing about this stamp set is that you can create your own phrases!  Such as … have a lovely day!

000_1405

I used different Designer Series Paper for the belly bands, but this one comes from the Park Lane packet.  The flowers were fun to make and topped off the box so nicely.

The door prizes contained samples of our newest embellishments from the annual catalog.  One of the goodies enclose was a yard of each of the 5 “Thick Bakers Twine” … which will bring me to my next sample!

I wanted to share a card that showcased at least one of the door prize goodies, and this is what I thought of …  All of the 5 thick bakers twine are present with hearts streaming down.  I want my stampin’ friends to know exactly what they mean to me, and how much I really do appreciate their loyalty and friendship.  I really do “HEART YOU”.

000_1406

Hope you got a little taste of the fun that we had at the Appreciation party.  You can be there next year … I’m taking bookings right now for fall and Christmas stampin’ parties!

Contact me, ( lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) I’d love to share the exciting new products with you and your friends.

The Green and Gold …

Posted in Paper Pumpkin, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday I said I would share a card with you, that I created with the new August “My Paper Pumpkin”.  Well as luck would have it, one of the note cards was Green and Gold … and what do you think a girl from Wisconsin would do with those colors!!!

Make a birthday card!! LOL  It’s  a bit on the “manly” side, thought it was time for one.

000_1375

The card is quite simple to create … I used the Banner Framelit Dies and cut it from the note card.  I took the star and trimmed it down to the star shape.

The greeting comes with the kit, as did the greeting banner … I just flipped it over because I didn’t want the pink lines to show.

000_1377

OH MY … is that a sneak peek I see?  Yes, it’s the NEW Star border punch from the Holiday Catalog!  Did you get your’s yet?  Let me know if you need a Holiday Catalog, I’ve sent one to each of my club members and on-line shoppers… but if you do not have a demonstrator, I’d be happy to get you one.

I have to share a wonderful announcement from Stampin’ Up!

Beautiful Day …

Posted in ON SALE!, Stampin' Up! card ideas, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

So … Did you guess which one of the new Weekly Deals was my favorite?  If you guessed the Elegant Butterfly – YOU were correct!  The Square framelit dies come in a close second.

I thought I would share with you a card I created using my 2 favorites from this weeks, Weekly Deals … the Elegant Butterfly and the Square Framelits!

000_1362

The “Mossy Meadow” cardstock you see, is simply folded in half.  Make sure your framelit sits above the fold so you do not cut the cardstock into 2 pieces.

I used the beautiful “Flowering Flourishes” stamp set, and teamed it up with the “Gorgeous Grunge” to create some depth to the card.

000_1364

As you can see … I layered the Petite Petals (in Black Raspberry) with the Boho Blossom (in Razzleberry) punches to create my flower.  The Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterflies also used the above color combination.

000_1366

I topped them off with the Rhinestones to create a bit of contrast and add some sparkle.  A beautiful friend always “shines”.

And finally, the greeting comes from the stamp set; Flower Patch.  I just used that stamp set on Sunday, so you can add this to your collection of samples for the Flower Patch set … so versatile.

000_1365

I hope I’ve inspired you to add the Square Framelits and Elegant Butterfly to your stampin’ collection … and while they are on Sale.  Just click on any links below for details – although the sale items do not reflect the sale price below, they will come up in your shopping card as the sale price.

I would be more than happy to place an order for you, if you do not shop on-line.  You can e-mail me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

Have a “BE*YOU*TIFUL Day!

A Flower for a Friend …

Posted in Punch Ideas, Techniques, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you had a nice weekend.  I spent a big part of mine cutting cardstock and preparing for the upcoming Appreciation Party.  I really do find it quite relaxing, and quality time with my sister Eileen.

Today I’d like to share with you a simple card with the cutest little punched flower!  Let’s begin with our card base … I am using the beautiful Blackberry Bliss.  It not only looks but sounds yummy!

000_1357

I paired the Blackberry Bliss with the Whisper White and Park Lane designer series paper and added the Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon to soften the edge between the two.

The pretty little flower was created with the Pansy and Petite Petals punches in Blackberry Bliss and Perfect Plum.

STAMPIN’ TIP: The Perfect Plum portion of the flower was created by cutting out one of the petals from the Pansy Punch and then bringing the ends together to form a smaller flower.  The leaves were also created from the Pansy Punch – cutting into the center and then trimming into a leaf shape.

000_1361

The greeting comes from the Feel Goods stamp set and is stamped in the Blackberry Bliss to coordinate with the card base, flower, ribbon and designer paper.  Gotta love that!

000_1360

My list of ingredients are listed below for your convenience … just click on the image to view details or begin shopping.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Enjoy your Monday ~

Happy Blooming Birthday …

Posted in Birthday, New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I would like to share a sweet and simple birthday card that will bring a smile to anyone who receives it.  I used the new “Flower Patch” stamp set!  This is one of our Photopolymer sets, and makes the two-step stamping super simple because of the clear images.

I have a video for you to view that highlights the “Flower Patch” stamp set …

My card base color is the new In-Color Mossy Meadow along with the Whisper White which truly highlights to ink colors we will be using on our card.

The flower was created by stamping our largest image first, in the lightest color: Crisp Cantaloupe.  I then layers the Calypso Coral next, and completed the flower with the Cajun Craze… and topped it off with a pearl.

000_1352

STAMPIN’ TIP:  The leaves were added behind the flower by creating a mask.  Stamp the largest flower image on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out.  I always cut inside the line.  Then place it over the flower and stamp your leaves … it gives the appearance they are behind the flower!

It’s been a while since I’ve used a two-step stamping set and forgot how fast you can create a beautifully layered, colorful card.  I added the Daffodil Delight flowers in the background to create another pop of color.

As the video states, the Flower Patch stamp set has a coordinating framelit; Flower Flair, and when bundled you get a 15% savings!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and video!

Happy Birthday ~

Tickled Pink …

Posted in Stampin' Up! card ideas, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Eileen and I have been busy creating boards for the annual Hostess Appreciation Party.  By “boards” I mean that we showcase several stamp sets at the event, and then create about 5 different cards for each board … then we raffle them off!

Everyone loves seeing the different cards and how versatile the stamp sets are. Create * Inspire * Share!

OK … why am I telling you this?  Because I just had to share one of the cards that will be posted on the “Flamingo Lingo” board.  Each year I highlight the Ronald McDonald House Exclusive stamp set,  because $3 from each stamp set sold goes to the Ronald McDonald Charity Houses.  Great Cause … great stamp set!

000_1343

Now … Isn’t this just too cute!

My flamingo is stamped in Strawberry Slush and highlighted with a Coastal Cabana scallop and twine bow.   The cute flower in this stamp set, coordinates with the Petite Petals Punch.

000_1342

Stampin’ Tip of the Day: Pretty Pearls … in any color!  Our new Blendabilities markers work great for coloring our pearls, rhinestones, and even our buttons!  Watch for upcoming “Blendabilities” classes.

I wanted to bring in that touch of “Florida” so I added the big bright shining sun from the “Kinda Eclectic” stamp set.  Warms it up nicely … don’t you think!?

Picture this ….I wanted to use my “On Film” Framelit die, and just love the way it frames our flamingo.

000_1343

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share, and consider purchasing the “Flamingo Lingo” stamp set.

Click Here to Shop Now. ..

I’d be “Tickled Pink” and I’ll send you a special “Flamingo Lingo” Thank You card!

Have a bright and sunny day ~

Gold goes Fast to Fabulous …

Posted in Product Wow, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Put away your BigShot because today we’re punching!  I’m also going to show you a great tip to create some fun on your cards … works great when you’re creating with the kids.  Our color pallet today is Gold and Vanilla with a pop of Cherry Cobbler.

You will need our Transfer Adhesive sheet because we are making stickers!!  I pulled back the top piece and carefully laid my Gold Foil Sheet onto the sticky side.  I like to put a scrap paper over the top and then apply even pressure to the entire foil sheet to ensure it’s evenly attached.

000_1269

Now just pull the foil sheet off and you have a sticker sheet!  You can do this with your cardstock, designer paper or any of the specialty paper.  Makes application of multiple items quicker, and it’s great for little fingers that aren’t so good with the snail adhesives.

Next I cut my gold foil down to 4″ x 5-1/4″ then punched out my circles.  I used that piece as my mat for my card front… no one will see where you punched so, NO WASTE!

My vanilla card front is 3-3/4″ x 5″.  I just peeled off the backing and placed the dots were I wanted them …  No fuss … No muss!

000_1276

The “For You” comes from the Hostess stamp set, “Hello There”.  I inked up the stamp with the Gold Metallic Encore ink, sprinkled my gold embossing powder on, tapped off the excess, and heat embossed.

I punched it out with the 1-1/4″ circle punch and I added one pop of color … Cherry Cobbler with the 1-3/4″ circle punch.  My greeting was popped up with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish, I added a strip of the Fast Fuse adhesive to the back side and wrapped the card front with Metallic Gold Bakers Twine.  H-O-L-Y Cow … that Fast Fuse really holds!  The entire card front was popped up  … I love layers and dimension.

000_1275

And that’s it … fast to make, fabulous to look at!  Besides, who doesn’t love Polka Dots!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have yourself a Fabulous Friday ~

Color Combination … put to the test!

Posted in Birthday, Product Wow by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

How are you doing this fabulous day?  I’m feeling better every day, so I felt it was time to challenge my brain!   I decided to pick a color combination … then design the card.  What was I thinking?  In reality, it wasn’t that hard.  You’ll understand as you follow me through the steps.

It began with the Sweet Taffy designer paper and my choice of “Pumpkin Pie” …

000_1260

Once I had the designer paper color, I when through the Color Coach to get my color pallet for my card.  As you can see … Cherry Cobbler and Night of Navy completed my color combination.

For some fun and texture I embossed the base of my card with the new “Large Polka Dot”  embossing folder.  Oh boy … this one is going to get used a lot!

000_1266

With the base done, it was time to adhere the designer paper, I matted it with the Night of Navy and scalloped one edge with the Scallop Edge Border punch.  The combination of these two colors emit a burst of energy!

Next I wanted a focal point that really stood out, so I picked the Hostess stamp set: Bloom with Hope.  This is the perfect stamp set to play with your Blendabilities, and as you have seen if you follow me … I use it a lot.

I used the Pumpkin Collection of Blendabilities, then added the Cherry Cobbler.  These two combined created such a warm and beautiful flower.  The Old Olive collection was used for the greenery and ties in nicely with the color scheme.

000_1261

I used the Circle Framelit dies to cut out my flower image, then chose the 2-1/2″ punch to mat it because it is smaller & there was not as much of the Cherry Cobbler cardstock showing.   I used the Cherry Cobbler for the mat so it would pull out the cherry highlights out of the flower.

Finally my greeting … I must say, I have wanted to use the “Endless Birthday Wishes” stamp set for a long time, so I pulled the Happy Birthday from there!  This is the cutest stamp set and is Photopolymer.  If you like your stamps clear and stickin’ to your blocks … these are for you!

000_1265

The greeting was popped up with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I tried really hard to add a 3rd circle (in the flower shop, we always designed with odd numbers) but on this card … it just didn’t work!  Sometimes less is more.

Stay tuned because in the next few days I’ll tell you how you can get the Bloom with Hope Hostess set and a Free color collection of Blendabilities Markers!

Hope you enjoyed today’s card and it’s brightens your day a bit.

Take care ~

Don’t you just love the Green & Gold!  I wonder if Cindy is a Packer Fan 🙂

12 Quick -n- Easy Cards using Designer Series Paper!

Posted in Kids Kards, Man Cards, ON SALE!, Quick -n- Easy, Welcome Baby / Congratulations by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I thought I would share a recap of the many cards using the new Designer Series papers!  I thought this would be a great way to finish off the Quick -n- Easy cards series.

Our first three cards are from the “LULLABY” Designer Series Papers …

As you can see, this beautiful paper can be used for many styles of cards … not just baby cards as the name “Lullaby” would imply.  I love the fun playful patterns in the Soft Subtle colors.

 

My next three cards are from the “PARK LANE” Designer Series Paper…

Don’t you just love these papers!  The rich Blackberry Bliss color teamed up with colors like Old Olive and Soft Suede make these colors perfect for a man or women’s card… and the patterns are there to support it.

 

My next 2 cards are from the “Back to Black” Designer Series Paper ….

For me … this is my go to Designer Paper because you can team it up with any colors you want!   The patterns range from floral, to fun, to funky!  It’s great to pick out your pattern and then accessorize it the way you want … like having a little black dress!

 

The next two cards come from the “SWEET TAFFY” Designer Series paper and from my Quick -n- Easy collection …

This is definitely a fun designer paper to have around… the colors and patterns are just waiting for you to come out and play!

 

The next three card samples come from the “MARITIME” Designer Paper …

This is a great designer paper to have in your collection!  Right off the bat you think masculine, guy cards … but you can see this is so much more!  From a playful kids card to yes …  a baby card!

Isn’t it great to see the different styles all together on one page!  I thought it was a great way to showcase the different designer papers in the different designer series packages.     Hope you enjoyed the cards.  I’d love to know which one is your favorite?
