Stampin’ Up! Best of Love Collector’s Stamp Set Sample #3!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love Collector’s Stamp Set Sample #3!

Good morning! Even though I'm not able to have my "Best of Love" class this weekend due to the eye surgery I will be having on Friday, I still wanted to share the projects I have completed for the class when I do get a chance to reschedule it!

In today's sample I paired  "Fabulous You" with the "love you much" stamp from "Best of Love":

Fabulous you 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

"Sycamore Street Designer Paper is combined with 2011-2013 In Color Patterns Stack Paper in Calypso Coral, Pool Party & Whisper White cardstock. I white embossed the shoe and the "love you much" phrase for an extra lacy look. I love how the "Vine Street" folder coordinates with the Sycamore Street Designer Paper!

Here's the inside:

Fabulous you 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I really love how well this phroase from "Fabulous You" follows through with the theme of the card!

That 's all for today! I'm off to see Liam today, then this afternoon I get to go with Alisa to her follow-up

sonogram appointment!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

All supplies can be found in my Online Store:

Stampin’Up! “Best of Love” Collector’s Stamp Set Sample #2!

Stampin’Up! “Best of Love” Collector’s Stamp Set Sample #2!

Even though I am cancelling/postponing my "Best of Love" stamp class for now, I still want to show you another project I created for it, a lip-balm holder:
Lip balm 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I thought this phrase from "Best of Love", which is the brand-new phrase in the set, would be perfect to go with a lip-balm gift! What do you think?


Lip balm 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I paired Raspberry Ripple cardstock with this design from the "Print Poetry" Paper Stack, adding Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and a Summer Starfruit Dahlia!

It was easy to ink up the "Read my lips" stamp. I first inked it with the Primrose Petals inkpad, then came back in and darkened the lips portion of the stamp with a Raspberry Ripple Stampin' Write Marker!

Well, I need to hurry. I have an appointment this morning with an eye specialist to see what needs to be done for my "narrow angle" problem.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love 25th Anniversary Collection!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love 25th Anniversary Collection!

Just a pause today to show you one of the projects we will be making at my "Best of Love" Stamp Class this weekend!Love 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Starting with Stampin' Up! Notecards with Envelopes, a section of the bottom front and back was cut off with the Large Scallop Edgelit. The "Gentler Times" heart was stamped with Jet Black StazOn, then cut out with Paper Snips. This was layered onto a Pool Party heart cut with a Heart Framelit, then layered on a Basic Black heart of the same size, but cut in half and matted onto the back of the Pool Party heart with SNAIL.

Pool Party ribbon from the "Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack add a classy touch that is just the right scale for the notecard base. The "love" from "Best of Love" was stamped in Pool Party, and the finishing touches to the heart focal point are a piece of a "Tea Lace" Doily and a Silver Glimmer Paper -punched heart.

Inside the card we are using words from "Love & Laughter"!


Love 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

 

Guess I'd better close for now. In case you didn't see it on Facebook, I experienced a "vitreous membrane detachment " in my left eye yesterday morning. Nothing made it happen, it's just something that can happen, especially in women of a "certain age" (cough) It's NOT a retina detachment, but it could still happen, so I have to monitor myself for the next four weeks. Also found out today that I have "narrow angle glaucoma", but am being referred  to a specialist for laser surgery to help eye drainage. I can see ok, but do have some freaky large "floaters" showing up in my line of vision frequently. NOT FUN!

So I'm just going to wish you a Stampingrox! day and see you tomorrow!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #5 & Whoo Hoo!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #5 & Whoo Hoo!

Happy Monday! Today's card features the next installment from my "Best of. . ." class series, "Best of Birthdays!" For this card I also used the new fun single stamp, "WhooHoo!":

Whoo hoo 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

We used TONS of new products on this card: "Print Poetry" Designer Paper Stack, Ovals Collection Framelit Dies, "Vine Street" Textured Impressions Folder, Designer Builder Brads, and "Itty Bitties" stamp set!

The colors for this card are Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, and Gumball Green. Although we have embossing powder in a large selection of colors, we do not have Raspberry Ripple. I was very pleased to try our Melon Mambo Embossing Powder and found it coordinated beautifully with Raspberry Ripple!

I wanted a to put a piece of Gumball Green between the Print Poetry oval shape and the Melon Mambo-embossed "Whoo Hoo!", but it needed to be pretty large and I didn't want it to be just a plain rectangle, so I cut it out with the "Two Tags" Bigz Die and the Big Shot. I love this look!

The inside of the card is where we used the "Best of Birthdays" stamp, the cute little gift in the bottom right corner:

Whoo hoo 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Embossed again with the Melon Mambo powder, I did the same with the "happy birthday" from "Sassy Salutations".

I like to dress up the inside of my card to coordinate with the outside any time I can, so I added a sliver of the same "Print Poetry" paper to the bottom edge and added a strip of Gumball Green that I had cut out with one of the "Finishing Touches" Edgelits and the Big Shot.

Stampingrox! Tool Tip: Did you know if you cut out TWO layers of cardstock at the same time with this edgelit you will have a much easier time removing the little "eyelet" pieces? YES! Layer two identically-sized strips of cardstock on the Big Shot Platform and cut with the edgelit at all at the same time. As you remove the edgelit, the two pieces of cardstock will be squished together, but when you pull the them apart, almost magically the little eyelet pieces will fall out of the strip that was closest to the edgelit! You can discard the second strip if you like. The eyelet pieces of it will be harder to remove, but if you are a "frugal girl" you can use a Paper-Piercing Tool or the tip of your Paper Snips to remove those too and you will have another eyelet strip all ready for the next card!
