Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning And Wood Words Patriotic Thank You!

Good morning!  Welcome back to work – at least it’s only a four day work week!  But there’s a lot going on Stampin’ Up!-wise in that four days!  Check it out:

• My Stamps-N-Lingers 2017-2019 In Colors Bundle Sale ends tomorrow afternoon.
• The Eastern Palace Bundles sale (Starter or Premium) ends tomorrow afternoon!
• Your chance to buy an Annual Catalog Share ends tonight!
• You still an opportunity to get your name into the Jul-Dec Online Host Club!
• And – OBTW – the new Annual Catalog goes LIVE at 3pm Mountain Time on Thursday!!

Wheew!!  That’s a lotta stuff to pack into a few short days, huh??  There’s a lot of detail and information down below, so be sure to check it all out and take advantage of some great deals happening this week!

Now – on to the card for today.  I promised that I’d share the details and how-to’s on the Memorial Day thank you card that I gave you a glimpse of on yesterday’s post.  It uses the One Great Meaning stamp set, as well as the Wood Words stamp set and coordinating Wood Textures DSP Stack (available Thursday!).  Take a reminder look-see:

I started with a piece of dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack and matted it on Cajun Craze card stock.  The center layer, with the sentiment, is another piece of the Wood Textures paper, also matted on Cajun Craze.

To make my sentiment, I first inked the little star cluster image from the Wood Words stamp set in Versamark and stamped it in the corner of the panel.  Then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.

I stamped the very appropriate sentiment from One Big Meaning in Cajun Craze in the middle of the panel, then SNAILd it to its Cajun Craze mat and onto the card front.

I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Copper Trim around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

The stars are from an image in the Wood Words stamp set.  I stamped it once in Versamark and heat embossed it in Copper.  The other two, I stamped in Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze – then sprinkled them with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated them up.  This is a cool way to emboss in any color – just be sure to have a moist ink pad, have your embossing powder ready to go and move a little quickly – and the powder will stick just fine.

I fussy cut the stars and ran my Stylus on the back of each arm of all three stars to make them more dimensional.  Then I adhered each star with a Stampin’ Dimensional.  To finish it all off, I adhered a bow from the 1/4″ Copper Trim with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I repeated the Copper embossing of the Wood Words cluster of stars in the top corner of a Whisper White panel.  I also added a Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze larger star.

I SNAILd the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze star on the front…

...and some more of the dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I love the Americana vintage feel of this patriotic card, don’t you?  One Big Meaning is a wonderful stamp set filled with sentiments to express your gratitude.  And the new Wood Words stamp set goes perfectly with the Wood Textures DSP!  One Big Meaning is available now, and the Wood Words goodies are both going to be available on Thursday afternoon!!  Hope you like and already have these on your wish list!

Two Days Left to grab my Stamps-N-Lingers 2017-2019 In Color Bundles!

Bundle #2 – this is for those folks who bought either of the Eastern Palace Bundles.  Y’all already have three of the five new In Color ink pads, so…I have a second bundle just for you.  I call it…The Eastern Palace Owners 2017-2019 In Color Bundle.  Catchy, huh? 🙂  This one is $89 and still gets free shipping and tax and a free goody!  The total cost if you bought them separately would be around $120.

In this special bundle, you’ll get almost the same thing as in the first bundle – but minus the three In Colors you’ve already got!

On both bundles, you get to choose from one of two great In Color embellishment packs!  Free!

Finally – I have one more deal.  You’ve seen me use the wonderful new 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon on a few cards now.  And you know it comes in each of the new In Colors.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have a whole spool of each one??  Well….

This is a special Add On Bundle.  You can buy it in addition (so…not all by it’s lonesome!) to either of the bundles listed above.  And – you’ll get all five In Colors for $35 with free shipping and tax!

How do you get in on the fun?  Well – fill out the form below.  As soon as I get your order, I’ll blast you a PayPal invoice.  Then I’ll place the order on the 1st and your goodies will be on their way!  Easy.
