Stamping with Lynn

Convention tickets!

See what arrived yesterday!  Two weeks from tomorrow I am arriving in Salt Lake City!  Woo hoo!

Elephant Punch Art

This punch art was inspired by Jackie Topa and my card design is similar to hers.  My downline made this card and the 6 x 6 instruction sheet at this month's downline meeting.  This may show up in future punch art classes! How do you like the brand new Stampin'Up! catalog?  Is your wish list a mile long?  You know that the starter kit is $99 plus tax and NO SHIPPING! And for that amount, you choose all your own product, whatever you want that totals $125 subtotal so you are getting $26 more product and still no shipping!  You also get the Make a Cake Stamp set, the Patio Party designer series paper, and the Patio Party Collection DVD (page 199) all FREE (value up to $48), plus catalogs and business supplies are included.  All of this for $99 plus tax.  So just think of your wish list from the brand new catalog and look at the savings.  You don't have to do workshops, or even sell it.  You would need to meet your quarterly commitment of $300 by Sept. 30, but with the holiday catalog coming out, you would be able to purchase at a discount and that goes toward that amount.  Also, my punch art to downline is $15, or if you sign on by June 30th, you get this month's free. (3 different punch art instruction guide sheets and 3 full size cards)  The Make a Cake promotion is only good this month.  Also as a demo you get to preorder in July from the Holiday catalog and demos love this perk!   Just think about it. If you don't meet the $300, no problem, you will just be dropped but you get to keep all this product/value!  You can join my team by clicking here  This a total value of up to $238 for only $99 plus tax!  What a deal! 

A Reason to Smile stamp set

Here is another look using this stamp set.  I was playing around using my reject pieces and put this together.  I used the Finishing Touches Edgelists for the black accent strip on the bottom.  The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set.  The card base is Daffodil Delight.  Inks are Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Black.  I love the Elegant Butterfly punch.  It adds just the right touch!

A Reason to Smile stamp set - 2 samples

So which do you like better?  I am trying to come up with samples/projects for my downline meeting tomorrow night.  A Reason to Smile stamp set is Stampin'Up!'s July promotion.  You can buy this set for $5.00 when your order is $50 subtotal.  Do you see new product?  I used the Elegant Butterfly punch and the Delicate Designs embossing folder, both of which are available right now in the current catalog!  My card base is Basic Black, and I used Basic Gray and Black ink.  It is hard to see in the photo, but there is a textured stamp image behind the flowers, kind of like that linen or canvas background stamp which has retired.  The scallop bottom is done using the Large Scallop edgelits.The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set. 

Sunshine Punch Art

This was the 3rd project at June's Punch Art Class.  This idea was shared by one of my downline gals and I don't know who is the original creator of this punch art.  If it is you, contact me, so I can give you credit.  The card base is whisper white, with a layer of Pacific Point, embossed with the Stripes Embossing folder. The sun is done with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  Punches are the Blossom Petal Builder Punch, the Bird Builder punch, the 1 3/4" Circle Punch, and the Small Oval for the smile. I am going to take July off from the Punch art Class because I will be in Salt Lake City at the Stampin'Up! Convention!  Woo Hoo!  I will be there 3 weeks from today! If you would like to have a private class and do some Punch Art, contact me and we can get one set up! 

Dog Punch Art

This is not my idea but I did change a couple of circle punches and the heart punch.  If you are the original creator of this dog punch art, please let me know so I can give you credit.  This is another of the samples for my June punch art class.  Details are on a previous post.  The card base is Very Vanilla, and the Real Red "fence" is embossed with the stripes embossing folder.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  I also used Crumb Cake and Soft Suede cardstock. 

Superman Owl Punch Art

This Thursday is the last of the 4 month series of Punch Art.  I MAY take July off from punch art and then resume in August with some tweaking of the classes.  Everyone seems to be enjoying filling up their albums with the different punch art ideas.  This card uses the brand new Chevron embossing folder.  It is a larger size so just a heads up that it will only fit one direction in your Big Shot.  Colors are Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, and Real Red.  I also used the Perfectly Penned stamp set for the sentiment.  Whisper White is the card base.  You can check out the Punch Art class details here.  If this little guy is your creation, please let me know so I can give you credit.  The card design is mine. If you are coming to class, please bring your owl, blossoms petal, and bird builder punches. 

Elegant Butterfly Punch, Betsy's Blossoms stamp set

Look what the Elegant Butterfly punch adds to this card!  My stamp club members got to add this to their samples last night.  I added the basic pearls afterward but ooh this punch is so nice!  Love it!  It is on page 184 of brand new Stampin'Up! catalog, #127526, $15.95.  Love the layering of the sentiment using the Apothecary Accents framelits. They are on page 191, #127003, $24.95.  Brenda, would you like your guests to do this card at your party on Saturday? 

Betsy's Blossoms stamp set - Same set, 2 different looks!

I love the bright colors on this card.  I saw a similar one by Gail Beezley.  Colors are Primrose Petals, Gumball Green, Starfruit Summer, and whisper white.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set, page 134 of the new Stampin'Up! Catalog. This is cut out using the Bitty Banners Framelits, page 191, and the Big Shot die.  The little flowers are punched using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  The ribbon is the Gumball Green 3/8 inch Stitched Satin Ribbon. 

Betsy's Blossoms stamp set

The card base is Sahara Sand with a layer of Midnight Muse.  I stamped the images from the Betsy's Blossoms stamp set with Midnight Muse ink.  I used the Apothecary Accents framelits, page 191 of the Stampin'Up! catalog, sponged with Midnight Muse.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, punched with the Modern Label punch, and layered on a large oval punched piece.  Very Vanilla seam binding finishes it off.  I want to try the new stitched Midnight Muse ribbon but I haven't unpacked an order yet.  Yankton Stamp Club will be making this card this month.
