Stamping with Lynn

CCMC182 - Sketch Challenge Take 2!

Here is another color combo using the same stamp set and sketch challenge.  I used the Ain't Love Grand stamp set, a hostess choice.  I also used the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog, and the Neutrals Designer Series Pack.  I embossed the stamped image this time and watercolored with the Watercolor Wonder crayons.  I also used the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit to texture the white heart.

CCMC182 - Sketch Challenge

I am really not liking this color combo but I used the color coach.  I think I will experiment with another color combo and maybe I will like it better.  Colors used here are Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Early Espresso.  There is a small pearl added to the sentiment on the "o" in love.  I used the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog for the Blushing Bride heart and then embossed it with the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit.  The heart behind this is also done with the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit. I stamped the image from the Ain't Love Grand stamp set in Stazon ink on watercolor paper, and colored it with our Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an aquapainter.  I also highlighted the veil with the uni-ball Signo Gel pen. The dsp is from the Neutrals Designer Series pack.  Check out more submissions for this challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  Also my submission in last week's challenge was one of the top 3 winners and I have the badge on the right side of my blog!  Thanks for the motivation to try some of these challenges!

 

We are blessed again!

 

Our 19th grandchild arrived yesterday afternoon, December 26th, at 3:41 p.m., an 8 lb. 14 oz. little girl! Welcome Sara Darlene Starzl!  She joins one brother and 9 sisters! We are expecting grandchild #20 in February, and grandchild #21 the end of April!  My birthday is tomorrow so Sara missed my day but that is okay for her to have her own day.  Our 40th wedding anniversary is New Year's Eve and we already have one grandchild born on that day - Karalyn who will turn 3 this Saturday! Anyway I just wanted to share our exciting news!  Happy stamping!

CCMC181 - Merry & Type Stamp set

Here is my card for the CCMC181 Color Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary. This is so much more sparkly in real life.  I embossed the ornaments and sentiment with pewter embossing powder because it was new, then I used Brushed Silver Cardstock for the wide oval punched piece, and Silver Glimmer paper for the strip, then the Basic Rhinestones finish it off.  I have done a Cherry Cobbler one also with the Silver Glimmer paper behind the ornaments and that really is so sparkly.  I love the bling.  The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Whisper White embossed with the Snow Burst embossing folder.  I have other cards using this stamp set posted previously here on my blog. 

Stocking Builder Punch - Get it NOW! while supplies last!

I am reposting this baby card because I used the stocking builder punch to make the booties.  Stampin'Up! will NOT be carrying this punch after this month. It will only be available while supplies last through the end of December (Holiday Mini). So if you want it, you had best order it now! The doily is from the Flirtatious designer series paper.  I just cut it from the rest of the sheet.  I cut the stocking shorter to make it look more like a bootie. 

 

Another Sneak Peak, Blushing Bride Adorning Accents Sample

Same products, just different color card base.  This used the Bordering on Romance stamp set, the Adorning Accents embossing folders, Adorning Accents edgelits dies, and the 3/8" Blushing Bride Pleated Satin ribbon, another sneak peak. 

More Sneak Peaks!

Now how did I do this you are asking!  I used the Adorning Accents embossing folders, then used the Adorning Accents edgelits dies which are in the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog.  I also used the Twitterpated designer series paper and the Bordering on Romance stamp set, also in the upcoming mini!  Which sample do you like better?  The monochromatic one or the more colorful one?  I am loving my new products, so much so that I am not getting my Christmas projects done.  You know, - the cards, the baking, the cleaning, the shopping and the wrapping.  I just like creating!  Happy stamping!

Edgelits Dies, Adorning Accents Embossing folder, Heart Collection Framelits dies

Wow, more sneak peaks from the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog which goes live January 4th!  I used the Heart Collection Framelits dies again AND I used the Adorning Accents embossing folder.  This one is the hearts, but there are also two others in this set. THEN I placed the Adorning Accents Edgelits dies alongside the strip and ran it through the Big Shot.  This gave me the scalloped edge.  The heart background is from the Neutrals Designer Series paper pack.  The card base is Real Red, with a layer of Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.  It is finished off with black satin ribbon, small hearts from the Heart to Heart punch and a rhinestone.  I hope you like!

Paper Doily Sizzliet, Heart Framelits, Take it to Heart Stamp Set

This is not a very good picture because it is late and the lighting is poor.  The image is stamped on Whisper White but it looks Very Vanilla.  I used 3 new products!  Woo Hoo!  I love new!  The card base is Wisteria Wonder with a layer embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.  The doily is from the Paper Doily sizzlit in the upcoming Occasions mini catalog.  This die does all the cutting but you do have to poke a lot of the cut pieces out with a piercing tool.  But you don't have to use scissors to cut this out so that scores points with me!  The image is from the new Take it to Heart stamp set (which I earned free, by the way) and then, oh my, then it is cut with the new Heart Framelits dies, also in the new mini.  The sentiment is from Tiny Tags and is punched with the Jewelry tag punch from the big Stampin'Up! catalog.  The doily and the ink are Elegant Eggplant.
