Stamping with Lynn

Another Curvy Keepsake box Breast Cancer favor

This time I used the Hearts Collection framelits, page 231 of the Stampin'Up! catalog for the "bra" piece.  The new tree punch was used for the straps.  My paper is from the Brights collection designer Series Paper Stack, page 185.  This is Melon Mambo.  My box base is Pink Pirouette.  If you are wanting to make several of these, you can get 36 boxes out of a pack of Pink Pirouette cardstock. 

Curvy Keepsake Box for a Breast Cancer event

Someone asked me about making one for a breast cancer event held in her sister's memory.  This was my first attempt.  I only had retired pink ribbon but otherwise it is all current Stampin'Up! product.  I used the new Note Tag Punch, and the 1 1/4" circle punch, and the tree punch for the straps.  The sentiment is from the And Many More stamp set.  I do have a retired stamp that says "Thanks for your support" but it isn't handy.  My box base is Pink Pirouette and the bra is punched from the Park Lane designer series paper.

Curvy Keepsake Box Baby Shower favor

Wouldn't this box make great baby shower favors?  And yes, to those of you who have purchased my Curvy Keepsake Box instructions, this will be added to your instructions.  If you haven't purchased these already, you can still do so.  Details above!

Holiday Home stamp set, Gift Box Punch Board Halloween house

Made this with the Stampin'Up! Gift Box punch board, Holiday Home stamp set, and Homemade Holiday Framelits, all from the Holiday catalog.  There is a tea light inside and the house is stamped on cardstock vellum.  This did require fussy cutting so I did like the previous house I made better because it was easier, but it was still fun to play with!  Check out the details on top of my blog if you are interested in purchasing just the Curvy Keepsake box instructions of the many I created!

 

Halloween tea light box

I used the Fall Fest stamp set and the Fun Fall framelits from the Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalog. These are available as a bundle saving you 15%.   The sentiment is from the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set. 

I used the new gift box punch board.  I do think it would be easier to just make a box but I do like the closure on this.  I chose the 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.25 box size, using a 9x9 piece of cs.  I did cut down the scored flaps and just made my own.  It is a little tricky using the ghost on all 4 sides, doing one side at a time and having the excess folded out of the way.  This has a tea light inside.  This was fun to make and experiment with using the ghost framelit in this way.  I have cardstock vellum on the inside. Happy stamping!

Fun and Easy Halloween candy favor!

I love bundles and candy favors!  This was so easy to make!  I cut a strip of 2" x 8.5" of black cardstock, scored it at 3.5" from each end, THEN I punched each end with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, #133324, $22.95.  Then I used the Fall Fest stamp set to stamp the pumpkins.  I added the included face images.  The eyes of the ghost are done with the Freaky Friends stamp set, but you could just punch holes for the eyes if you like since it is on black cardstock. The pumpkins and ghost are die cut with the Fun Fall framelits which can be combined with the Fall fest stamp set for a savings of 15% (#137628 $34.75). I finished it off with the Tangerine Tango Two Tone Trim!  All are in the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog, except for the punch. I stacked 4 candy nuggets 2 by 2, adhering them with mini glue dots.  I wrapped a strip of 1"x7" of black cardstock around them, and with more mini glue dots, adhered them to the inside!  Easy Peasy!

Traveler stamp set

This set is great for those masculine cards!  My card base is Soft Suede with layers of Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.  I sponged with crumb cake all over the Typeset Specialty Designer Series paper from page 184 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.  The sentiment is from the And Many More stamp set.  The Traveler stamp set is on page 38 of the same catalog.  This was one of the cards that our monthly stamp club got to make. 

 

Holiday Invitation stamp set and Cycle Celebration stamp set

These "Angle" cards are addictive!  Use any designer series paper and change the mood of the card instantly!  My fall card uses Color Me Autumn designer series paper and the Holiday Invitation stamp set, both from the new Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog.  The black and white card uses the Back to Black designer series paper, Petite Petals and Cycle Celebration stamp sets from the annual catalogd.  The dsp is popped up with dimensionals.  Use your trimmer to cut your dsp at an angle, any angle, then slide the dsp over half an inch or an inch (however wide your sentiment will be) and cut again.  The angle will be the same.  Easy, peasy!  My card bases are Very Vanilla or Whisper White.  Have fun creating your own!  Thanks to Deb Valder for the inspiration!

Card in a Box

This is my very first Card in a Box!  I followed instructions on Deb Valder's blog and it really is easy! I did use designer series paper on all sides including the back but I think on future ones, I may put Very Vanilla or Whisper White on the tall back piece so I can write my greeting and sign my name.  My box base is Cajun Craze with layers of Mossy Meadow and Color Me Autumn designer series paper.  The greeting on the front is from the Merry Everything stamp set and is part of bundle, paired with the new Note Tag Punch, saving you 15%. (page 13 of the Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalog).  I then used another bundle from the same catalog, page 46, the Fall Fest stamp set and Fun Fall Framelits dies.  I love stamps and punches and/or framelits that coordinate.  The greenery is done using the 1 3/8" circle punch, then spiral cutting into the center.  I attached my pieces with mini glue dots.  This folds flat for mailing and fits inside a regular medium envelope.

For Your Country stamp set

My card base is Very Vanilla with layers of Real Red, and Night of Navy.  I used the Stars Framelits to make a negative star mask with a window sheet.  I placed that over my cardstock, stamped the words from the stamp set with Crumb Cake and sponged.  Then I stamped over the star with Night of Navy ink.  I used the new Confetti Stars punch from the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog on the top. Hope you like!
