Guest Stamper, Lynda

Today's Guest Stamper is Lynda

Lynda is in my direct line and she shared this pretty fall card using some products that she had sitting around from a card class a year (or so) ago, and needing to be used up.

I recognize the stamp set from GATHER TOGETHER.

Weekly Challenge/Plaid Builder Dies

This past weeks weekly challenge for the C3 team was a color combo challenge combined with the PLAID BUILDER DIES.

I spent some time prior to our team meeting and cut out one each of the 2 dies from every color of our card stock.

I had the girls randomly choose 2 colors, then pick out the pieces, take it home and create!

Some colors were easy to figure out and some were more challenging. That is the beauty of a color challenge.

For the girls who could not come to the meeting or if they lived too far away, I mailed out their pieces to them so no one had an excuse to not participate,

Rachel used only a portion of her dies on this very cool SEASIDE NOTIONS card. Her colors are Blushing Bride and Mossy Meadow

Stephanie's colors are Balmy Blue and Real Red, and she went with a slim line Christmas card

Jodie's colors are Crumb Cake and Whisper White. She added a card base of Balmy Blue and used the WILDLY HAPPY Stamp Set

Barb's colors are Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz. Barb went with a beautiful Fall theme

This was my first card. The colors are Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. Our school colors are Maize and Blue so this combo lended towards a graduation card. Our mascot is the eagle and this is a non Stampin' Up! stamp, but because I make a LOT of Eagle grad cards it is handy to have on hand. I added a layer of vellum between the Whisper White Card Base and the Pacific Point die cut piece. This softened the harshness of the stark white.

Karen said she struggled with her color combo of Soft Seafoam and Terracotta Tile, but I think it turned out very pretty! She added some Designer Paper just like I did with the Vellum, and added it to a Soft Suede card base,

This is the second card that I shared with the team. We had several pieces left over after everyone received theirs in the mail and what was handed out at the meeting, so I thought I would chip away at some of the combos. This combo color is Mossy Meadow and Cinnamon Cider. I added it to a Very Vanilla card base and added some fall leaves from GATHERED LEAVES DIES, the sprigs from the SUNFLOWER DIES, and a pumpkin from HARVEST HELLOS.  I actually had these pieces already cut out for another project so was very thankful for a chance to use them.

This is Ronda's first challenge to participate in and she did a great job. Ronda is also new to our team so doesn't have as many resources, but I think this is perfect. Ronda's colors are Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.

Pam's colors are Cinnamon Cider and Soft Seafoam. When we probably wouldn't pair these two colors together, Pam did a great job with also adding the Soft Seafoam to the little coffee cup. Her stamp set is NOTHING'S BETTER THAN. A great choice for her color scheme!

This is a card that I featured at the September Stamp a Stack Classes and fit well into our weekly challenge. It was inspired by Sharon Burkett. I used the TASTEFUL TOUCHES Bundle, and the greeting came form PARCELS & PETALS

Anna's colors are Very Vanilla & Basic Black and she made a wonderful Christmas Card for her challenge card.

Linda's colors are So Saffron and Garden Green  - so pretty with the Country Home Stamp Set

Bev's first challenge card and her colors are Sahara Sand and Just Jade - another super elegant card with the COUNTRY HOME Stamp Set, combined with some greenery from FOREVER FERN.

Bonnie's colors are Shaded Spruce and Purple Posy! - I'm very happy how all these color combinations are coming together

Lynda's colors are Pool Party and Granny Apple Green. She was thrilled when she found that the Whale Done Designer Paper had those colors in it.

Vicki's colors are Smoky Slate and Mint Macron. - Don't you just love those little goats!! Vicki used the Mirror Image Technique in order to get her goats to face one another.

Carla found her color combo of Magenta Madness and Crushed Curry to be rather challenging, but I think she did a great job using the Harvest Hellos Stamp Set

Debbie O's colors are Bumblebee and Blackberry Bliss, I love how she took her photo by a mason jar

Denellda's colors are Rococo Rose and Basic Gray. I love the turned down corner and the pretty daisies

MORE GOOD NEWS!!

The New Embossing Tool is Here!

I have had my new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine for 3 weeks now 

and I absolutely love it!

This new tool offers multiple die-cutting and embossing options that I know you will love. This Stampin' Up!-exclusive machine offers the highest quality and makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time. 

You will also love how simple it is to store and how easily portable it is. It will make a great addition to any craft room. One of the best things is that it comes with all the tools needed to get started right away, making it easy for you to have a fantastic die-cutting and embossing experience right from the start.

Here are some simple facts that Stampin' Up tell us about the new machine:

• The firm top handle allows for easy transport and leverage while in use.
• The machine includes a solid, full surface impact foldout platform to support solid and stable performance.
• Its high grip feet minimize sliding on surfaces.
• It has a compact footprint for easy storage and transport.
• Its platform is designed to naturally guide products into the rollers for a smooth user experience.
• The ergonomic handle flows well and balances the perfect amount of rotation and pressure for precise cutting and detailed embossing results.
• You are going to LOVE how smoothly and easily it cuts! AMAZING! And with the new specially designed flatter dies, they cut through like butter!

You may remember that originally, the magnetic plate was not going to be available till later this year. However, it is available TODAY! so you can add it to your Starter Kit!

 I know you are probably also waiting on the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine. But that won't be available until later this year. 

I will keep you posted on the progress of that tool.  

If you do not want to take advantage of this great deal, but still would like to purchase the new cutting machine, here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me: Just remember if your order goes over $150.00 please do not use the hostess code as you will receive the 10% hostess rewards for yourself.

Now it a great time to grab those embossing folders and dies that you have been wanting but you were just waiting for this new machine to become available
