Stampin! Up! Zoo Babies for Lando!

Stampin! Up! Zoo Babies for Lando!

Hey there! You've probably already heard. I've been shouting about it on Facebook for a few days, but in case you haven't, my newest grandson, Lando Ronan Hiller, has arrived! He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz. Mommy & Lando are doing great! I'm staying with her for a couple of weeks to mostly help out with Lando's "big brother", Oakley, who will be 18 months in a couple of days.

Now I can FINALLY finish his card:

I added his name using Simply Pressed Clay and the new Alphanumeric Mold in the Occasions Catalog. After the letters dried, I colored them first with my Lost Lagoon marker, then added the "stitching" with a White Chalk Marker. I attached the letters to the card front with Crystal Effects. The letters were not completely flat, so I put a couple of heavy books on top of them until the Crystal Effects was dry.

After stamping the Whisper White Medium Evelope with Zoo Babies images and Lost Lagoon ink, I used the Envelope Liner Thinlet Dies to cut the Sweet Dreams Designer Paper to embellish the inside flap of the envelope.

You can check out the supply list for this card in my post last month HERE.

Here are the additional supplies I used to create and attach Lando's name. Place your order in my Online Store HERE.

The instructions and tips to make the Alphanumeric Letters with the Simply Pressed  will be included in my next newsletter scheduled to go out next Tuesday. If you are not subscribed, be sure to sign up using this feature on the right side of my blog!

Until tomorrow, which is the monthly Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Bundle!

Good morning! Hope you are enjoying a long July 4th weekend! Today I want to share with you another card we will be making at my SWOW class next weekend using the Flower Shop Bundle, Dictionary Background stamp, the My Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit, and the Four You stamp set!

The Flower Shop Bundle listed on page 95 is one of several bundles Stampin' Up! is featuring in the New Catalog this year. Stamps are bundled with a coordinating punch or framelits to give the stamper a 15% discount when they buy the two products together! Look for the blue-framed bundles to get the item code and prices for a Wood-Mount Bundle or a Clear-Mount Bundle!

Flower shop 1

The colors are Sahara Sand, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, and Perfect Plum. I found my color combo by using the NEW Color Coach! I've never really been a Color Coach fan, but after fooling around with this one a bit, I think I'm going to be using it more and more all the time! I LOVE these colors together!

Perfect Plum

I made the flower centers with the Simply Pressed Clay and the "blossom" mold from the Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds. After pressing a little ball of the clay into the mold I popped it into the freezer for about 10-30 minutes (depending on how long it took me to remember to take it out, lol!), then popped the blossom out of the mold. After allowing it to air-dry for about 24 hours, I first spritzed them with a mixture of 91% rubbing alcohol and reinker, allowed that to dry for a few minutes, then used a Sponge Dauber to sponge on additional ink. They were then attached to the flower with a Glue Dot. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz and were punched with the Bird Builder Punch.

Flower shop 3

Inside I stamped a phrase from Really Good Greetings on page 38, then added another leaf branch and a couple of tiny flowers punched with the 4-petal flower punch in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. I used my White Gel Pen for the flower centers.

Well, that's all for today!  If you want to make this card, you can either visit my Online Store by clicking on the "Shop Now" button on the upper left side of this blog or RSVP to come to the SWOW class next weekend on the 12th or the 13th!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope the rest of your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Good morning! Can you believe it? Only TWO MORE SLEEPS until the New Catalog starts! I can hardly wait!

I'm busy as the proverbial ol' bee this week, getting ready for THREE, yes I said THREE, big events this weekend! They are a follows:

Friday evening: my daughter, Alisa and her husband, Cody, are hosting their annual "Summer Bash" at our house! This involves a bonfire with hotdogs & 'smores, hamburgers on the grill, all the rest of your traditional picnic trimmings, kickball, volleyball, LOTS OF FRIENDS, and of course, mosquitos!

Saturday afternoon 1-6 p.m.: I'm hosting my annual "New Catalog Open House"! This involves Make n' Takes, doorprizes, gifts, refreshments, a BOGO sale, and of course the giving out of the New 2013-2014 Annual Catalog for FREE, many of which will be spiral-bound for those who RSVP to me by today and attend!

Sunday afternoon 2-4 p.m.: My daughters are hosting a baby shower at our church for Cody & Alisa and baby Oakley, who is scheduled to arrive sometime in early July!

Whew! I get a little tired just thinking about it all!

Today's new catalog samples I downloaded from a "virtual swap" I participated in with a Facebook group I belong to called "Stampin' Leaders". 

This sample used the set we received in Fiji, Kind & Cozy, with new Gingham Garden designer paper:

Gingham garden kind & cozy

This sample uses Gingham Garden paper again to create a cute little seed-packet card. Notice the flower embellishment? It was created with our new Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds and Simply Pressed Clay!

Another Kind & Cozy sample, this time with Gingham Garden Washi Tape to accent so easily!

And last but not least, this sample used Gingham Garden Washi Tape with the Beautiful Butterfly Die to create a custom butterfly embellishment!

That's all for today! I'm off to get busy on my "To Do" list for today!
