Stamping with Lynn

Two Tags Die, Three Little Words

Here I go again.  Still having fun with this die and this stamp set.  The layout is pretty much the same, but have tried different color combos.  One uses Bermuda Bay, black, and white, and the other uses, Lovely, Lilac, Blush Blossom, Almost Amethyst, Pale Plum, and Very Vanilla.  Both use the Beautiful Wings embosslit, Two Tags Die,  and the finial press embossing folder so the Big Shot was in use again! The Three Little Words stamp set is one of your FREE sets you can earn with a $50 order.

Three Little Words Stamp Set and Two Tags Die

The Three Little Words stamp set can be earned FREE right now with a $50 Stampin'Up! order (minus shipping and tax). It is a set of 8 and sells for $13.95 in the big catalog.  Some of the sentiments are:

thanks so much, thinking of you, i miss you, i love you, so very sorry, etc. The colors I used on this card are Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango, and Very Vanilla.  I used the Big Shot to texture the 3 strips by using the Finial Press embossing folder and to die cut the tag that the words are on.  This is my project I designed for a shoebox swap. 

Addendum to Bunches of Punches Class

Instead of the 3x3 cards you can make full size cards using the 3x3 layer.  I will not provide envelopes with this size card choice.   You MUST let me know which you will be making at the time of registering.  Here is a sample of one 3x3 size made into a full size card. Go to www.starzlstamps.com to view all details of this class. You will have to scroll down a bit.

Garden Whimsy stamp set

I made this for a swap for an upline meeting in Sioux Falls.  This meeting is just for Stampin'Up! demos but if you join my team we can go together.  Several of us from the Yankton area attend these meetings and just have a fun day together, stamping, eating out, and sharing ideas and laughter.  You can receive a FREE STAMP SET OF YOUR CHOICE (up to $47.95) when you sign on.  The starter kit is discounted 15% right now and this special expires March 31st. I also hold monthly demo meetings on the 3rd Tuesday night at my home.  Okay, for the card supplies.  Stamp sets:  Garden Whimsy, Teeny Tiny Wishes  Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Black, and Whisper White.  Also used the Hugs (scalloped rectangle white piece), the finial press embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Crushed curry ribbon, and Crushed Curry and Old Olive markers to color the tulip.
You could use other sentiments such as With Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter, etc.  from the same stamp set (Teeny Tiny Wishes).

Hugs

I am loving these Hugs (the white scalloped rectangle) that you can buy from the  Stampin'Up! Occasions mini catalog (20 in the package for $4.95).  You can view any of these catalogs by clicking on them below or by visiting my Stampin'Up! website (www.starzlstamps.stampinup.net)   I designed this card for my downline meeting last night.  What is a downline meeting?  Join my Stampin'Up! team and you can attend my monthly meetings.  You can have your choice of ANY stamp set in the catalog for FREE if you become a demonstrator by the end of March.  The starter kit is discounted right now by 15%. You can sign up at my website and my password is Patches. This card uses the I Heart Hearts stamp set, Perfect Dots Embossing folder, and the 3 Heart punch, and Soft Suede ink. 

Faux Diamond Dust Technique

This technique uses versamark smooshed all over your image (the elephant square), then embossed with Irredescent Ice embossing powder. (Faux Diamond Dust technique) The designer paper squares are from the Tall Tales designer series paper. Old Olive is the base.  Very simple card and a great way to use up your scraps.  The layout/technique idea is from Catherine Pooler. The elephant is from the Animal Stories stamp set.

Chocolate Bunny card

Here is the card I made to go inside the bunny basket I just made and posted.  Details below.  This one uses the Hugs (scalloped white piece) from the mini.  Also the perfect dots embossing folder, the chocolate satin ribbon, Well Scripted stamp set, and the Chocolate Bunny stamp set are all from the Stampin'Up! Occasions Mini catalog.  You get 20 Hugs in one package for $4.95.  They are 2.25 by 4 inches.  What a buy!  This card is a 3x6 and fits in the small open end envelopes.  I ran the Hugs piece through the Big Shot to get the dots embossed.  I also used the Movers and Shapers die with the magnetic movers and shapers die.

Chocolate Bunny stamp set

The Chocolate Bunny stamp set is only $7.95 in the Occasions mini catalog.  It is a single stamp.  I also used Well Scripted for the greeting.  The bunny is stamped with versamark on chocolate chip cardstock, embossed with clear embossing powder and cut out and is popped up with dimensionals.  The front and back of the basket are done using the scallop square die and run through the Big Shot. Colors used are So Saffron, Choc. Chip, and the Pawsitively designer paper. I may make some cards to add to the basket yet. I used the cropadile to set the jumbo eyelets for the handle.  I used the Stampin'Up! Little Leaves sizzlet.
The Pretties Kit is used for the flower and half pearl.  Direction for the box: 

The box is a 12 x 5.5 piece of card stock scored at 4, 5.75, 9.75 and 11.5 - the front and back is the large scallop sizzix die.

Score along the long side of the box at 1.75" - cut at the score lines - this makes the bottom of the box. This basket was inspired by a similar one on splitcoaststampers.com by msalvato.
