Stamping with Lynn

Mixed Bunch stamp set, Blossom Punch

The first card was inspired by Dawn Olchefske.  The second card uses the Twitterpated designer fabric, and the Loving Thoughts stamp set, all from the Occasions Mini catalog.  Both cards use the Twitterpated designer series paper and buttons, the Blossom Punch, and the Mixed Bunch stamp set. 

Coming Soon! Simply Scored Diagonal Plate

This plate is used with the Simply Scored and sits securely on the base of your Simply Scored scoring tool, and like the Simply Scored has etched grooves every 1/8 inch.  This is a fabulous tool for creating one of a kind designer envelopes, boxes, and more.  Book a private class with me to see this tool in action!  Customers can order this beginning March 1st!

Mixed Bunch stamp set, Blossom Punch

I copied a layout from Dawn Olchefske and used different colors, sentiment, and designer series paper pattern.  I also used the Twitterpated buttons instead of a brad and I didn't use the Rock & Roll technique, but just sponged my petal edges with Basic Gray.  I love the Basic Gray and Blushing Bride color combo.  I used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and I LOVE when Stampin'Up! has a punch to use with a stamp set. This is the Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I punched out the flower and then cut off a couple of petals to make the butterfly.  The sentiment is from the FREE Sale A Bration Elementary Elegance stamp set.  The card base is Blushing Bride with a layer of Basic Gray, and Twitterpated designer series paper.

I Dig You stamp set

This one has the sentiment attached.  I wish I would have remembered to add it before I had assembled it all.  Oh, well.  I am really lovin' this set.  It is perfect for those little boy birthday or valentine cards. The dimensions are on my previous post.

I Dig You Stamp set

Here are my Stampin'Up! Valentine sucker treats using the I Dig You stamp set and the Candy Conversations stamp.  In my haste to get them ready, I forgot to stamp "I Dig You", which is also part of the stamp set.  I will do that yet before handing them out.  My Real Red cardstock is 3 x 6.75 inches, with a layer of 2.75 x 2.75 inch Pacific Point and then the focal image is just under 2.75 inch square.  I also used Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Basic Black Inks, and the small heart punch.  The ribbon is retired but I figure my day care crew won't mind.  I bought flat Valentine Suckers at the dollar store. I was inspired by Wendy Hawkinson who used this set to make her son's Valentine cards.

Fresh Vintage Stamp Set

This was my card I designed for the Leadership shoe box swap.  It uses a lot of FREE Sale a Bration Product.  The Fresh Vintage stamp set is FREE with a $50 subtotal order, and is colored directly on the stamp with Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Lucky Limeade markers.  Then you breathe on the stamp to remoisten the ink and stamp! The side strip is the FREE Everyday Enchantment designer series paper, and the brad is from the FREE Sale a Bration Ribbon and Brad bundle, each FREE with a $50 subtotal order!  The card base is Very Vanilla, and the scalloped piece on the left is Soft Suede.  The sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.  The Pool Party piece is textured with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

Another Rue Des Fleurs stamp set sample!

 

I cased this from a Leadership "Clothesline" display/contest sample so I cannot give credit to the original creator.  This isn't an exact copy but very similar so if the idea came from you, please let me know and I will give you credit.  This card is easy peasy and so elegant looking in real life.  I have also made this using Stampin'Up!'s note card/envelope sets, so then it is even easier yet!  I have put together Sale A Bration kits with all the needed items for the card. When you select Kit A or Kit B, you will get a FREE Sale A Bration items of your choice from the SAB brochure. The card base is Whisper White (5.5 x 8.5 inches), Black Layer (3.75 x 5 inches), White layer (3.5 x 4.75).

Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper, Rue Des Fleurs stamp set

The card base is Pool Party with a strip of Attic Boutique designer series paper on the inside bottom.  I folded the cardstock in half, then opened it back up to use the Adorning Accents Edgelits dies on the bottom.  Then I changed tabs, and ran it through again with the Adorning Accents embossing folders.  I then randomly stamped with versamark images from the Rue Des Fleurs stamp set.  The corset is stamped with black stazon, and then blender pens are used for coloring the image with Daffodil Delight and Pool Party inks. I added the Victoria Ribbon and a basic pearl, and stamped the "Thanks" in Soft Suede.  The inside says "for your support".  Both sentiments are also from the Rue Des Fleurs stamp set.  I also used the oval from the Designer Frames embossing folders. The corset is then punched with the extra wide oval punch which fits the inside of the oval frame!  Love it when Stampin'Up! products coordinate perfectly!

Antique Brads Pin (Brooch)

I have been playing again!  At San Antonio Regionals, the chiffon pins were demonstrated.  This is still a work in progress for me, but the great thing about these pins is using the Big Shot to die cut several layers of chiffon fabric at one time.  I did 8 layers with no problem.  Then I put an antique brad through and used the heat gun to poof/scrunch them up.  I don't seem to have just the right touch yet, but it is fun experimenting!  The Antique Brad pin is a case of one that Denise Jorgensen made for a downline gift at Leadership, and I had to have one of my own!  I used a chipboard circle from the Merry Medley chipboard pack from the big Stampin'Up! catalog, page 191.  I covered that with CRAFT Black ink, and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I did this on both sides.  Then I used Crystal Effects to adhere the "wingless" brads.  I sneaked my hubby's cutter from the garage to cut the wings off.  This is at least a 24 hour project because you must leave it alone to give the Crystal Effects time to completely dry.  Then you can use the Crystal Effects again to attach a pin to the back, and then more drying time. I think it is very elegant and dressy looking! The Antique Brads are on page 198, $5.95, and you will use the entire package.
