Stamping with Lynn

Super Quick and Easy cards!

The Petite Petals stamp set and the Flower Shop stamp set each have a coordinating punch, making it so easy to stamp and punch!  Both can be purchased as a bundle, either wood or clear, saving you 15%.  My card base on both cards is Whisper White with either Basic Black or Coastal Cabana cardstock.  The strip of polka dots is from the Fresh Prints designer series paper stack, $6.95 in the new Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog.  Sale a Bration starts tomorrow, January 28th, and for every $50 subtotal ordered, you select FREE from the Sale a Bration brochure.  Order one of these bundles and you are on your way to your $50!  Hint, hint! Order both bundles in clear and your total is exactly $50 subtotal.  How cool is that?

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Candy/Gum favor

I am so loving this new punch!  This time I made this to hold a package of Trident Gum!  I used the Tag It stamp set, and various punches.  My Coastal Cabana strip is 2" x 10.5", and scored at 4 7/8" and 5 5/8" BEFORE punching both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!  This punch is in the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog and is available to order now!  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, and it is finished off with ribbon and the Fresh Prints designer series paper stack, $6.95.

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Nugget holder

I had this idea to make these before I went to Leadership and finally got to it yesterday.  I know there are similar treat ideas out there but here are my measurements.  I wanted it to hold two Hershey Nuggets.  I started with a 2" x 6.75" strip of Pistachio Pudding cardstock.  I scored at 2 5/8" and 4 1/8" inches BEFORE punching both ends with the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  I attached the nuggets with mini glue dots.  The FREE Sale a Bration Sweet Sorbet designer series paper is 1.75" square and then the notches are done with the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  I used the Round Array stamp set for the sentiment and the 2 smallest Scallop Circle punches and the 1 inch Circle punch.  The Pisatachio Pudding 3/8" Ruffle Stretch ribbon finishes it off.  These are so quick and easy to make and I am thinking they would make great wedding/shower/holiday/birthday candy favors!  Stampin'Up! just makes crafting and creativity easy peasy!  Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, #133324 $22.95, page 35 of the now live Occasions Catalog.  Make a tag or topper any length you want but width is 2 inches!

Vivid Vases stamp

I designed this card for the downline swap last night!  It uses the new stamp, Vivid Vases, from the now live Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog.  I stamped the image on Watercolor paper, but the words at the bottom of the stamp were stamped below the paper, thus omitting them from the paper.  The sentiment I used is from the Wetlands stamp set.  My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Pool Party.  The strip on the side is FREE Sale a Bration paper, Sweet Sorbet designer series paper!  I used an aqua painter, and Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush inks.

Petite Petals stamp set

This card could easily be swapped out with other scrap designer series paper scraps.  Create with whatever you have on hand!  I used Very Vanilla and Basic Black, with Modern Medley designer series paper.  The top half of the card is embossed with the Sale A Bration Decorative Dots embossing folder.  You can get this free during Sale a Bration with a $50 subtotal order.  Sale a Bration starts January 28th!  The flowers are from the Petite Petals stamp set and are punched out with the coordinating Petite Petals Punch.  These can be purchased singly or as a bundle, saving you 15%, page 33 of the now live Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog!  The sentiment is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set.  This card was inspired by one I received in a swap at Leadership by Paige Batten.  I used a different embossing folder and sentiment, and did not use the leaves she had.  Love the simple design of this card and that it uses up my dsp scraps!

Hexagon Hive Thinlit, Leadership Shoe box swap

This is the card I designed for Sherry Robinson's Leadership shoe box swap.  I had to have 23 premade and supplies for 22 others to make this card.  I chose the Polka Dot Parade designer series paper and die cut full Hexagon Hive sheets, and then cut them in half.  My card base is Rich Razzleberry, with Whisper White.  I used the Flower Shop stamp set, Petite Petals stamp set, and the coordinating punches which are available as a bundle purchase in the Stampin'Up! annual catalog and the new Occasions Catalog.  My club members made this card last night and loved it!  A tip:  Use wax paper between the dsp and the thinlit so that your dsp pops right off the thinlit!  The sentiment is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set.

Happy Watercolor stamp set

Here is my swap I made for the Creating Success Leadership Swap.  I used the new Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Stampin'Up! Occasions Catalog. My colors are Island Indigo, Smoky Slate, and Gumball Green on Whisper White.  I also used the rotary cutter for the scalloped edge.  The Watercolor Wonder designer series paper coordinates beautifully with this stamp set. I needed 41 for this swap and this card is pretty quick to make.  All of the images and sentiment are included in this set.

Leadership Freebies!

Well am back from Leadership where I had a fabulous time!  It was the best Manager's Reception ever and thank you so much Stampin'Up! for treating us to the Downtown Aquarium and awesome, awesome food!  It is a let down for sure coming back to reality and the empty nest again with our youngest going back to college from Christmas break! I had fabulous roommates and would room with them again in a second!  Made new friends and met up with old ones, and made many fun memories!  I will be posting my swaps soon and more Leadership fun pics!
