Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Well Written Welcome New Pet Card

Posted on September 21, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Well – it’s Monday again – hope y’all are ready for the week!  Don’t know about you but we here in GA had a simply perfect Fall-preview day yesterday!  Bright sun – blue skies – low humidity – mid 70’s!  My windows and doors were open all day and I enjoyed a few hours on the mower in the pasture!  It was wonderful – and I hope we get a few weeks of it!

One of my friends from my previous work-life is…getting a new addition to his family!  They lost their senior GSD a few months back and…finally were ready for a new face in the house.  So…I made them a card to welcome…Gus!  They’re pretty big gardeners, so I used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle, the Dog Builder Punch (duh!) and a few sentiments from the Well Said stamp set and coordinating Well Written Dies.  Take a look-see:

The card layout is from the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge this week!

And many of the elements are thanks to the inspiration photo from The Card Concept.

And – this one might have some feminine elements in it – but…it’s perfect for my friend – he loves his dogs, loves to garden and is a retired Apache pilot.  So…he can totally handle a flower and a few hearts!  Hence – I’m saying it’s a card with a masculine twist for the Watercolor Wednesday Challenge.

I started with a piece of In Good Taste DSP that I matted on Night of Navy for the card front.  Then came a strip of wood-design from In Good Taste, also matted on Night of Navy and adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I cut the solid Sunflower Dies flower from Bumble Bee card stock and sponge-dauber’d it with Bumble Bee ink.  Then I cut the detailed flower in Early Espresso and adhered it over the solid flower with Liquid Glue – just in the center.

I cut an Early Espresso flower center and popped it in place with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I cut some Sunflower Die grasses and leaves in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.  I adhered the detailed leaves to the solid leaves with Liquid Glue -and then added them to the card front.  I added the flower over top with Liquid Glue.

I tied a bow from the black-and-white twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack and added it with a Glue Dot.

I stuck a piece of Whisper White onto a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet and cut the sentiment with a die from Well Written.  Then I adhered it to a Basic Black piece cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

I used the Dog Builder Punch to cut a Soft Suede dog and adhered him with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added the sentiment over top of it all with some double-stacked Dimensionals.

I used Cajun Craze card stock, punched a few hearts with the Dog Builder Punch and adhered them with Liquid Glue.  And that was it for the card front!

On the inside – I stamped a sentiment from the Well Said stamp set in Night of Navy on Whisper White.  Then I cut another Soft Suede Dog Builder Punch and adhered it with Liquid Glue.  I spelled out GUS with the Playful Alphabet dies in Night of Navy and adhered them (and another Cajun Craze heart) with Liquid Glue.

Why THAT particular sentiment?  Well…Gus is an 8 week old GSD!!

LOL – they’ve got busy times ahead! 🙂

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Night of Navy mat and into my Bumble Bee card base, added the card front with more Liquid Glue and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a smaller Celebrate Sunflowers image on the front in Early Espresso.  I used my Blender Pen to pull the ink into the center and more ink from the lid of my Bumble Bee and Mossy Meadow Ink Pads to color the image…

..and I added more of the In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Ahh – the joy of being able to create an incredibly personal card for a friend, huh?  I love the rustic beauty of the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle set atop some In Good Taste DSP!  And I love sentiment dies – Well Written is perfect – and the Playful Alphabet Dies gives us total freedom for any sentiment we need!  Thank you, Stampin’ Up!

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful Hallows Night with Video Tutorial for The Paper Players

Posted on September 20, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – LeAnn’s given us a Clean-and-Simple challenge to work with this week!  🙂 It’s a good one – and one that I know will give your creative mojo a bump!  So I hope you’ll come and play along with us!

If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me!  If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!

So – funny story.  LAST Sunday – remember my card?  Check it out right here.  It was a CAS Pets card.  Why?  Cuz…I totally messed up and did the wrong challenge for the Players!  Doh!

But that IS the challenge for THIS week – so…the cat punch makes another showing!  I used it – and the Life is Beautiful stamp set, along with the Hallows Night Magic Bundle and some not-real-spooky Magic in This Night DSP – to make…a double-easel fun fold card.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our Paper Players challenge!

And the layout is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

The card base is just a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic Black folded into a portrait tent-fold card.

Then I cut and folded a piece of Bumble Bee card stock – 4″ x 10″, score and fold at 5 1/4″ and 7 5/8″ – to create the double-easel itself.  I used Liquid Glue to adhere the easel to the front of the Basic Black card base.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere a piece of bat-strewn paper from the Magic in This Night DSP to the top – largest – panel.  Then two smaller pieces in a coordinating pattern – to the two smaller panels.

The “moon” is a piece of Bumble Bee card stock, cut with the largest smooth-edged Layering Circles die.  I used a Sponge Dauber to lightly sponge some Bumble Bee ink onto the moon – to create a little depth.  And to look more moon-like and less cardstock-circle-like!

I placed the circle in my Stamparatus and stamped the tree branches from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

While the ink got good and dry, I stamped the pretty label image from Hallows Night Magic in Tuxedo Black on a piece of Bumble Bee.  Then I added the sentiment.

When IT was all dry, I cut it with the matching die in the Halloween Dies set and adhered it to the front small panel of the easel.

I punched the kitty in Basic Black using the Cat Punch.  Then I did a dry fit of the moon and the cat – and popped the moon into place with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals on the large main panel.  I used some Liquid Glue to adhere the cat on the front fold.

Using the bat dies in the Halloween Magic Dies, I cut a few from Black Glimmer Paper and adhered two on the moon and popped the last one onto the sentiment label with a Black Stampin’ Dimensional.  And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I again used my Stamparatus to add the spooky tree image from Life is Beautiful in Tuxedo Black to a Whisper White panel.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into the card base and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Tuxedo Black tree on the front…

…and a little more Magic in This Night DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Hardly any white – but…it looks clean-and-simple to me! 🙂  I’d planned a top-fold Joy Fold card – but…the design that was in my head with the Cat Punch against the Life Is Beautiful tree silhouette on the moon…just screamed DOUBLE-EASEL!  And the Hallows Night Magic stamp set – with the fun Halloween Dies is the perfect accompaniment!

I hope you like!

If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Now – before you reach for your ink and papers, check out what our amazing team has created to inspire you this week:

Happy Friday, y’all!  Hope you’ve got a decent weekend in store – if you’re cleaning up after Sally’s visit – I wish you well in those endeavors!  We got some pretty solid rain and wind – but nothing catastrophic where we are.  So…we were lucky.  Didn’t even lose internet! 😳😳😳

If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! 🙂

It’s no secret that I love Fall cards – with leaves and boughs and bows and and and….  Yes.  It’s true.  My name is Mary and I’m an over-layer-er! 😉

But.  I decided with this one to try a Fall card that is Clean-and-Layered.

Yes.  That’s a thing.

To that end, I pulled out some gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP and the sweet Love of Leaves Bundle (with the amazing Stitched Leaves Dies!) and created my version of a Clean-And-Layered Fall card.  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.

And the Fall colors are from the Sunday Stamps challenge palette.

I started with some copper-foil-embossed Mint Macaron paper from the gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP that I adhered to the front of my Mint Macaron card base (it’s the same size as the front of the card base, just FYI!) with Liquid Glue.

Next up is a different Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP design that I cut and matted on Early Espresso – then adhered to the front of the card with Liquid Glue.

I cut a Stitched Rectangle die from Very Vanilla and stamped a Love of Leaves sentiment on it in Cajun Craze ink.  Then I adhered that to the card front with more Liquid Glue.

On a seperate piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the large leaf from Love of Leaves in Bumble Bee ink.  Hint:  the large – solid image – photopolymer stamps really do want to be stamped using a foam stamp pad under your cardstock – I used my Deluxe Stamparatus Foam Pad!

I cut the leaf – and embossed the “stitches” in it at the same time! – using both coordinating dies in the Stitched Leaves die set.

I used a couple of Glue Dots to adhere a Gold Hoop Embellishment to the card front – then popped the leaf over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a simple bow with two pieces of Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaf with a Glue Dot.

I added a few (okay – FIVE!) Gold Glitter Enamel Dots and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second Love of Leaves sentiment in Cajun Craze on a Very Vanilla panel.  Then I added the large leaf in Bumble Bee.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Early Espresso mat and into the Mint Macaron card base and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Bumble Bee leaf on the front…

…and some more of the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I LOVE this Love of Leaves bundle – the Stitched Leaves Dies make the most amazing “stitched veins” in the leaves.  And I really like how the stamped images look….a bit worn and distressed?  Not sure if that’s the right word – but…I think you know what I mean??  You can see what I’m talking about in the image below – the stamps are created such that they make lighter and darker places in the stamped image.  Which I think is cool!

And the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP is undoubtedly some of our prettiest paper ever!

I hope you like!

Posted on September 12, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, all!  Hope your weekend is dawning bright and clear.  Except for the west coast – I hope YOUR weekend is dawning cloudy, cool, rainy (or at least misty) and NOT AT ALL WINDY!!  Praying for the weather to start favoring the firefighters!

So – I’ll be coming to you tonight, at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page, with a fun-fold.  I think you’ll like it – I know I do.  It’s a riff on one of my favorite fun folds.  And it’s super cute for….pet lovers!  Take a sneaky peek!

Can you tell what it is??

No?  Well – guess you’ll need to come on over and see what it’s all about in virtual-person, huh?? 🙂

Tonight.  7pm Eastern.  Right here!

Not to put too fine a point on it – but…this is your LAST day to pick up the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine AND earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINTS from me while you’re at it.  AND a free embossing folder of your choice (in addition to your usual ordering Thank You gift!).  I mean – you’ll still be able to ORDER the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine after today (duh!) – but you won’t be getting all those great extras when you do!  So…if you have any plans to add this great machine to your tool chest – and you really should! – then this is a great time to do it!  🙂

Stampin’ Up! New Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine Available Now, Stamps-N-Lingers Ordering Bonus and a Joining Special!!

Posted on September 1, 2020 by stampsnlingers

This is it!  The day you’ve been waiting for!  For a couple of reasons, I’m sure!  This is a long-ish post but….it’s chock-a-block full of good info.  So…do take a minute to look thru it, okay? 😉 Oh – and don’t miss the Clearance Rack Update – lots of new goodies there at up to 60% off – but…they’re all only while supplies last.  Don’t delay!

First off – the brand new standard-size Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is available for you to order now!  Whoo-hoo!!!

I’ve been using this new machine for a few weeks now – one of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator – and you’ve seen it in action on some of my videos!  I love it!

The machine is sturdy and smooth – and the folding platforms are an amazing space saver for folks that don’t leave their machine out all the time OR for those of you who take your tools with you to stamp and craft with others (or – like I did before I retired! – travel on extended business trips!!)

In case you have NOT seen this machine in action – here are a couple of videos from Stampin’ Up!

             

And – we didn’t think the Magnetic Cutting Plate was going to be available this fast but…IT IS!!  Whoo-hoo!!

This thin, fully magnetic sheet, with its self-healing cutting surface, will give you magnetic power ALL OVER!  No more “hot spots”!  The Magnetic Cutting Plate (Plate 5) holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you.  Check it out!

In case you’re wondering – the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and its plates will be available later in the year!!

Here’s what’s available today:

Now – I also mentioned an…

Ordering Bonus!

Since dry embossing is one of my favorite things to do with my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I thought I’d pass that on a bit! And…a little more!  🙂
