For My Sentimental Sunday Post I thought I would share some fun photos of Miss Lucy! She sure has brightened up our life!!
Sawyer thinks Lucy's playpen looks like fun!
Can you spot the REAL puppy!
There she is!!
Friday was a big day for Lucy and I guess Dale too! Dale is always up before the crack of dawn so it's understandable he needs a nap during the day. Friday Dale took me to the pain clinic for a steroid shot in my lower back so Lucy had to spend several hours in her playpen while we were gone. She was so happy to see us when we got home! I headed straight to bed with ice and Lucy and Dale took their nap in the living room. When I got up this is what I saw and I couldn't resist snapping a photo.
I posted about the Fall into Savings with Paper Pumpkin super fantastic deal earlier this week, but starting yesterday you can take advantage of the savings through September 10th. Did you miss that previous post? No problem - just click HERE for a reminder.
In fact, Stampin' Up! came out with a short video for you to watch. Remember if you are getting this in your in box just click on the blog post title and it will direct you to my blog where you can see the video.
Remember, this applies to first time subscribers only!!
Now, to give you a look inside the July kit (just in case you were wondering.) Don't stop here - there are two photos at the end
Just look at everything that was included in this kit!
This is the stamp set. I love the font and how you can use them together with the smaller word phrases
Wood elements
What could these be? Mountains, of course! (you'll see)
2 sizes of cards (3 colors)
Step by step instructions, 2 ink spots (soft sky and tranquil tide), glue dots, dimensionals, washi tape!!
This is the card that I made as instructed.
What did I change? Well, I sponged the mountains with crumb cake ink and then used a stamp from the August 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit to make it a birthday card. Our pastor is from Montana and I just know he is missing his mountains so wanted to make this one for him.
This was my second card (inspired by Joni Martin from the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club)
What I did wrong... When I was using by Layering Circles Framelits (the scallop #5) I had the card base completely closed so got the cut out on the right side as well. However, it did not cut all the way through so I left it as is and stamped my sentiment inside.
Don't you just love that cute little baby elephant butt!!
Another OOPS, was that I cut a LOT - seriously - a LOT of elements out in a months time for classes, etc. so I get new plates out the first of every month. This cutting plate in only 11 days old and when I went to cut out the scallop circle I had to layer the white piece over top so that I would get the placement right, it seriously made my white card stock super dirty
Back to the drawing board. Only 2 white card fronts with circles came in the kit so I cut my own from Whisper White card stock and the #6 Layering Circles Framelits
Today's Guest Stamper is Sue!
Sue was my very first recruit way back in 2008. We have been on this journey together for almost 10 years, and I appreciate her so very much!
Sue also shared the cards that she made for her card classes.
This beautiful Christmas card features the new CAROLS OF CHRISTMAS Stamp Set and Coordinating CARD FRONT BUILDERS THINLITS DIES. Buy them as a BUNDLE and save 10%. Sue also used the amazing new Embossing Paste which gives the card dimension.
This beautiful fall card features the VINTAGE LEAVES Stamp Set
A refreshing Lime card featuring the LEMON ZEST Stamp Set and LEMON BUILDER PUNCH. Buy them as a BUNDLE and save 10%. A little CLEAR WINK OF STELLA gives the card some glitz.
The background is pretty faint, but it features the Background Stamp TREE RINGS. The chickens are non Stampin' Up! dies, but still super cute.
Tuesday night was our team meeting and this girls love to share!! And I am one very thankful team leader.
Today I am featuring the designs by Donne. Donne is actually in my "side-line", but our up-line is no longer a demonstrator so Donne is a great addition to our team meeting night.
Donne shared the cards that she made to use at her own stamp class
Card #1 Donne used the floral stamp from WOOD WORDS and the STYLIZED BIRTHDAY single stamp. I love the white heat embossing on the Night of Navy Card Stock. It is very striking.
Donne said her sweet mama designed this card for her and I absolutely love it! I have yet to use my own OH SO ECLECTIC BUNDLE.
The next 3 cards Donne used the BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET Stamp Set. This first one she used the Coordinating Dies BEAUTIFUL BUNCH. Buy them together as a BUNDLE and save 10%
These next 2 she stamped the flowers and used the bow die to tie them together.
She said that she likes to make 2 cards from the same stamp set or bundle to increase her sales. Then she made this third one to show it in a different color scheme. Smart tips, I think!!
Donne cased this card from a card I made in one of my Tuesday classes, but instead of using the "ink-dragging" technique she used the "marble-roll" technique. Stamp Sets used: POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS
