Stamping with Lynn

Diorama Wetlands Card

Experimenting with the Wetlands stamp set and making a diorama card.  It has been a few years since I made one.  I stamped with Stazon ink, and used the Deco Labels framelits, #130102, $24.95, page 186 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.  The magnetic platform made placing them easy peasy!  Cardstock colors are Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, and Pool Party.  I also used the Hung Up Cute Clips, page 170, #129389, $4.95, and the Natural Chevron 5/8" Ribbon, Page 18 of the Occasions (Mini) catalog.  Today is the last day to earn FREE Sale a Bration products for every $50 subtotal ordered.  Click here to order!  Diorama tutorial is found here:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/diorama_card/

I did my own measurements and used framelits instead of punches but the basic idea is the same.  My finished card folds flat to 4.25" by 6.5" and I can make my own envelope for it, using the Envelope Punch board.  (Love that item!)  My front and back pieces are 4.25" x 8.5".  My middle piece was 4.25" x 6.5".  I scored the same as the tutorial.

Owl Punch baby girl dress card

See how the owl builder punch was used to make these cute dresses?  This was one of the projects I designed for the downline gathering last night so yes, it will be a project for future stamp clubs!  Jeni Szmyd did a card with cute dresses made with the owl punch.  I did my own version using the Chevron punch and the Baby, We've Grown stamp set which is on page 28 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog.  The hangers are from the Hung Up Cute clips, page 170 of the annual catalog, for $4.95. (3 designs, 8 of each).  You could make a card using only one dress if you like or just pop up the dresses without using the hangers!  This card uses Strawberry Slush and Whisper White cardstock, and the In color designer series paper pack.

Ampersand Embossing folder

This is my first time to use the new Ampersand Embossing folder.  I embossed Gumball Green Co'ordinations cardstock, then sanded it to "pop" the ampersand.  I also made an envelope to fit using the Envelope Punch board.  I notched the ends of the "thank you" with the hexagon punch.  Finished it off with white Baker's twine.  My daughter, Katie, has my camera in Guatemala and my phone does not take very good pictures.  This does look much better in real life!

Hardwood Background stamp, Flower Shop Bundle

I am loving this background stamp!  Doesn't it look like designer series paper?  It is on page 37 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog and is available in clear or wood mount.  Go to my online store to order.  And remember time is running out to get FREE Sale a Bration products for every $50 subtotal ordered.  Wood #133032 $17.95 or Clear #133035  $13.95.  I also used the Flower Shop stamp set and the coordinating Pansy punch, which are both in the annual catalog and can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 15%.  The bundle prices are on page 95.  The Pistachio Pudding leaves are punched with the bird punch, page 183.  My card base is Crisp Cantaloupe with layers of black and white.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  My desk top computer is getting fixed so am having to use my lap top, and it and I don't get along too well.  I try to post to my blog and it keeps giving me grief.  I have several samples to get posted so hopefully it will work for me this week.  My daughter, Katie, is spending her Spring Break in Guatamala with a medical team, servicing the area, which is great BUT she took my camera so I am having to use my memory card for posts.  Happy stamping!
