Happy Hanukkah!

Lynnzcrafters

 

 

 

 

Hello Friends!

I wanted to share a special Hanukkah card that I created to be featured in a tutorial bundle with some of my crafty demonstrator friends! We have created this blog hop as well as a Hanukkah Tutorial bundle! I’ll be sharing it with all who order from me this month!

Here’s the details:

card base: Night of Navy cardstock cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

Silver foil paper cut 5 1/4″ x 4″ (die cut the dove’s solid wings- one will be cut on the silver face up, one cut with silver face down to get this effect of two outstretched wings)

Feels Like Frost DSP is cut 5″ x 3 3/4″

Wrap Metallic Silver edged ribbon around the DSP/Foil that is adhered together, tie knot off to side as shown. then adhere to top of card base

Cut Dove body and wings out of whisper white cardstock, and adhere to the silver foil pieces and add to top of the card with dimensionals. Cut little sprig out of garden green cardstock.

 

Stamp “Happy Hanukkah” in Night of Navy ink, on whisper white cardstock, punch ends with Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (annual catalog) and adhere to card, over the ribbon, with dimensionals.

 

On the inside, stamp “Peace on Earth” on a piece of whisper white cut 5 1/4″ x 4″, add strip of DSP 5 1/4″ x 1″

 

Need a treat to go with that Hanukkah Card? This adorable acetate box is perfect for a homemade cookie, candy, gift card, money, or even some handmade cards!

 

 

The belly band is 3″ x 12″ wrapped around the acetate box. Add a silver foil label cut from celebrations label dies. Create a dove out of all whisper white cardstock and assemble as shown. Add greeting, sprig, pearls and add over the ribbon. What would you give as a Hanukkah gift?

Of course these projects can be modified for a winter birthday, thank you or Christmas gift/card as well. Just change out the sentiment if desired.

I am going to “try” to blog more often, I’ve missed writing and sharing here on this blog. It seems when life gets hectic, blogging falls down farther on my long “to do” list.

Let me know what you’d like to see me feature here.

Cut the coordinating piece for inside: 5 ¼” x 1 ½” that is glued onto a piece of whisper white that is 4 ½” x 3”. Adhere all DSP to cardstock. Punch a half circle notch from inside the piece with 1 ½” circle punch, then adhere two sides with tear and tape.

Freezin’ Friends Gift Card Holder

Lynnzcrafters

 

 

Hello Friends!

I told you recently that I wanted to get back into posting on my blog, and here goes! I have several posts planned for this week. Today’s feature is a Side-Fold Gift Card Holder featuring Freezin’ Friends bundle (it is retiring from the August-December 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog).

 

 

Here are the directions on how to make this one:

Side Open Gift Card featuring Freezin’ Friends:

  1. Cut Pacific Point Cardstock 4 ¼” x 11”, score at 2 ½” and 5 ½”. Burnish. (do not adhere yet). 
  2. Cut three pieces of DSP (Snowflake Splendor):   Front left cover: 2 ¾” x 4”; Inside left pocket: 2 ¼” x 4” (adhere and punch a half circle with the 1 ½” circle punch); Right side piece: 2 ¾” x 4” add this to piece of whisper white that is 4” x 5 ¼” 
  3. Adhere pocket with tear & tape on the two sides so gift card will fit inside
  4. Die cut celebration dies (two nesting sizes as shown) large is pacific point, small is whisper white. Stamp iceberg directly on die cut piece with pool party ink, color with pool party blends. Stamp sentiment in pacific point ink.
  5. Stamp the freezin’ friends critters, trees and props in memento black ink on a piece of whisper white cardstock, color with blends (night of navy, balmy blue, crumb cake, basic black, mango melody, smoky slate, real red); and stamp trees in just jade ink and color with just jade blends. Cut out with dies. 
  6. Adhere the whisper white celebration die cut to the pacific point piece. Adhere to the card front by adding adhesive to only the left half of the pieces (so this will open- see photo). Add critters and pieces with dimensionals on outside. Glue the raccoon on the inside left and a small tree is glued down bottom right. Add greeting from Merry Moose stamp set. 

 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another gift card holder!

2020 Mini Catalog, 2020 Saleabration, card making, handmade cards, paper crafting, rubber stamping, Sale-a-bration, scrapbooking, Stampin Up

2020 Mini Catalog and Saleabration Launch Today!

Lynnzcrafters

Happy New Year Friends!

Today is a BIG day for all of us who Love Stampin’ Up! The 2020 Spring Catalog goes LIVE and the Sale A Bration begins!! Hopefully, you’ve received a catalog in the mail. If you’d like one, just let me know and I’ll get one out to you!

This year Stampin’ Up! has marvelous new stamps, papers, embellishments, and a punch to coordinate with one of the stamp sets! You receive 1 free item per $50 you spend, and there are a few items at “level 2” which means they count as two selections, or can be your free item with a purchase over $100.

I’ve updated my side bar with the new catalogs, but here they are for you:

2020 Mini Catalog:

Click to access 20200103_JANJUN20_en-US.pdf

2020 Saleabration:

Click to access 20200103_SAB20-1_en-US.pdf

New this year, the reward for hosting a qualifying party (or order) over $300 is this Free Lady Bug Stamp Set:

*Guess what? Next month as part of our Coordination Release of new products- there will be DIES to cut these cute images out! How cool?@!

 

 

I must tell you about the very best deal during Sale A Bration- The Starter Kit!!

 

During Sale A Bration 2020,

you get quite a bit for the $99 price tag:

1. Choose $125 in product from the Annual or Spring catalog

2. Free Mini Trimmer

3. Free Designer Series paper sample pack (see photo above)

4. One more stamp set of your choice!( Go ahead, pick the most expensive set on your wishlist!)

5. Free Shipping!!

Did you know that when you purchase the Starter Kit, you actually earn a 20% discount off EVERY purchase for the next 3 months? In fact, it’s actually longer than three months. If you purchase the Starter Kit in January, you actually have until the end of June to take full advantage of that discount on all Stampin’ Up products!

What’s In A Starter Kit?

Anything you want! Yes, REALLY! For just $99 (FREE SHIPPING too!!) you choose up to $125 of ANYTHING in the Spring Catalog, Annual Catalog or even off the Clearance Rack! Plus, as I mentioned above, you get the Mini Trimmer, DSP Sample Pack and one more stamp set of your choice.

What’s the Catch?

There is NO catch! I know, sometimes, we think there is something hidden that we don’t find out until after we purchase the kit. But here, truly there is no catch! The only requirement to remain an active Demo is a quarterly minimum. And as a new Demo, you actually have until the following quarter to meet it (June 30!) And what if you don’t meet it? You just become a customer again and lose the discount. That’s it! But, I have a feeling you will love the benefits so much that you will never want to let that happen!

Do I have to have a blog, make videos or hold classes?

Nope. Again, this is what you want it to be. If you want to purchase the Starter Kit just to enjoy the discount- great! You are what I like to think of as a “preferred customer.” You get all the benefits but don’t have to actually run a business. But, if you want to run a business, you can! And I’m here to help guide you with that if you want.

 

What Are the Benefits?

The biggest benefit, in my opinion, is that you become a Lynnzcrafter! That’s the name of my team and we are growing with leaps and bounds! My team is spread out throughout the Capital District Region of New York, and we have some Floridians as well! So, we do lots of things in person and some things online… We swap monthly, we have creative challenges, we have celebrations! But the best part is- we support each other! Many of my team have chosen to make a business out of their Starter Kit and many have chosen to support their hobby with a discount. I welcome ALL new demos to my team regardless of why they purchase the Starter Kit.

Official List of Benefits:

  • 20% discount
  • Potential to earn up to 38% of your sales
  • Early and exclusive access to new products
  • Opportunity to earn free product through various incentives
  • Qualify for cash bonuses, free product, incentive trips and more

 

If you choose to purchase your kit through me, there are even more added benefits.

  • You will be a part of my Lynnzcrafters Community and will be invited to join in all the fun we have together.
  • Monthly get-togethers (in Glenville or Burnt Hills) with make and takes, fun and contests. If you aren’t local, we can our meetings via Facebook Live! I have someone who monitors that discussion during the meetings and asks questions for them as we go.
  • Continual support from me. Stampin’ Up is my part-time job, so I am available to inspire you, encourage you and help you when ever and however you need! I actually do occasional one on one calls as needed.
  • Free monthly Tutorial Bundles- my downline get 15 Tutorial PDFs for free every single month! You can use them for your own crafting or as a class of your own!
  • Team recognition and incentives- PRIZES! Lot’s of them! The incentives change from time to time,
  • Quarterly Rewards Day called Way to Go Day! I reward for promotions and sales and occasionally we have recruiting contests.
  • Team Facebook Page- this is where we’ve really gotten to know each other!
  • Monthly Creative Challenges (more prizes!)
  • Monthly Swaps- even for those long distant
  • Business Builders bimonthly Video Conference for those interested- I do a  Zoom video conference with all who are interested once a month.
  • First dibs on Retreats
  • Open Studio day- chance to come play in my Craft Room
  • Team T-Shirts available for purchase
  • Attend OnStage and other Stampin’ Up! events together for so much fun!

 

I’m sure you will enjoy all of these new products! What are you excited to craft with?

I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on! Planning my 3 monthly stamping clubs, my Team meeting, swaps, Bingo and a new sampler as well as new inserts for the HOME Frame (with an interchangeable “O”).

Thanks for stopping by today, and please note I have a new host code (just haven’t updated the side bar yet).

2nd Annual Christmas Retreat

Lynnzcrafters

Hi there friends, First of all, I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! May your turkey be juicy and your potatoes not lumpy!

Did you notice anything new here on my blog?? How do you like my new header and buttons? The amazing Justin Krieger of jkcardsonline.com created all my new elements!! Didn’t he do a fabulous job? I feel like such a grown up! The owls were cute, but I’ve had them for over 6 years now, time for a blog and Facebook make-over. I have matching business cards and return address labels now too. I’d love to know what you think!

Last, but not least, I wanted to share some photos of my 2nd (Annual) Creative Christmas Retreat! I started this event last year, I wanted a way to include everyone on my team at an all day crafting event. They couldn’t all attend, so I invited some special friends to fill up the room. I’m thankful to have been able to have this event at the Clifton Park Elks again this year, and Mike Bloss outdid himself with delicious spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Friends brought some yummy snacks to share as well!

I found this terrific game online and thought this would be perfect for the ladies to play throughout the day and earn some raffle tickets!



This area is the lending library, I brought dozens of my stamps, punches, dies, big shots, and paper cutters. 

This ballroom is huge, and provided us with ample space for crafting all day!

You can see Kathy and Amye hard at work helping me to set up each spot.

My fabulous helpers Kathy, Amye, and Patty helped me set the room up so everyone had a nice work area and their Stampin’ Up! products and gifts were waiting for them at their spot. Everyone received this canvas zippered tote bag, ceramic mug, Let it Snow embellishment kit, Jingle Bells, Snowflake Sequins, and Snowfall Accents Puff Paint! Then the items inside the snowman gift bag were all the pre-cut paper supplies they used to assemble my 8 Make and Take projects! The hot cocoa here was for one of the M&Ts.

 

we had this cute little hot cocoa station and the girls were able to use their own mug that was part of their gift. 

Could you guess what my theme was? Let it snow… How cute is this little snowman sign?



I feel so blessed that my team and friends from near and far were able to come together for this day. My friend Jacki came all the way from New Hampshire! And Nancy, Addie and Susan are my bingo regulars, so happy they could join us!

Nellie came all the way from Saugerties! Sue and Theresa came from Queensbury! And Amye didn’t have far to travel, but she came early and stayed late to help me with set up and clean up! Thanks friend!

Three of these ladies (Lisa, Jess and Nicole) came from Johnstown. I’m so touched that so many traveled a great distance to come to this event! Look at those sharp Ott lights Cindy and Sheila brought, cool right?

Laurie came over last week to help me punch and die cut almost everything we needed for all the M&Ts. Patty also helped with set up and clean up. Thanks friends. Molly and Jill made some gorgeous cards!

Pam and Elizabeth came from the North Country and they joined Annette, Mandy and Linda at this table.

MaryBeth helped me out by cutting out all the candy canes we needed for a M&T, thanks MB! Kathy is always there for me, every event, she is my right arm and such a treasured friend, thanks Kath!  Gail and Tiffany joined them here.

 

Last but not least, these four friends joined us for the first time, many thanks Barb, Chelsea, Jen and Bobbi for attending!

Altogether we had 30 people come to stamp for the day, I did have two who weren’t able to make it and I’m still working on their projects for them… hopefully I’ll get a chance to finish them this weekend. 

I used all the hostess rewards from placing all the retreat orders and got 5 raffle bundles and they were able to put their tickets in whatever bag they wanted. 

My friend Amye made these cute mugs, can you see what it says? “Sip, stamp, repeat”. She used her cricket and vinyl to make these.  Thank you so much for donating two of your mugs to the raffle!

 

Ready to see the projects everyone made? 

The gold pizza Box featuring Perfectly Plaid bundle, this can hold a small gift, jewelry, candy or even a gift card.

Some delicious Ghirardelli Hot Cocoa and stick candy canes.

Some cool mint tic-tacs

This beautiful ice skate card could easily be turned into a gift card holder as well.

This little snow globe shaker card was the only die cutting the ladies needed to get up to cut on their own… The Night Before Christmas Memories and More card pack with envelopes was the base of the card.

The mini curvy keepsakes dies are amazing, I saw this cute snowman on Pinterest and couldn’t believe how easy it was to make!

The copper tea tins hold more than tea- you can fit some homemade chex mix, fudge, cookies, hot cocoa, tea bags, or even a gift card in here!

 

 

Last but not least, this little pillow box was a breeze to put together, the heart is from the dog punch, and then the Christmas cups of cheer dies made the perfect snowman cup. This held some marshmellows and could fit another gift card.

 

Next time I’ll share all the winners of the prizes and the gifts I gave everyone throughout the day, I’ve got to run and get some of my Thanksgiving meal prep going here.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Love,
Lynn

Blossoms

Lynnzcrafters

Picture this: a tiny seedling on the verge of breaking through the soil. Can you see it? Now water it with affection and good vibes. What do you have after a little bit of time and a whole lot of love? A blossom—bold and beautiful and blooming!

Now imagine that in a stamp set. With the Bloom & Grow Bundle, you can see the entire story of the blossom: from tiny seedlings to beautiful bouquets. Then sprinkle in some encouraging sentiments, and you’ve got a card for everyone you love!

If you’re just beginning on your stamping journey, you can use these gorgeous stamps to create a patterned look for a simple but beautiful project as was done in the You Are Simply Wonderful sample, or if you want to step it up a notch, try tinkering with the dies and a blender pen, as was done in the Thanks sample. For all of you avid stampers, roll up your sleeves and add this bundle and some ribbon to a treat bag to make the cute bag you can see in the samples. There are so many options! Get this awesome bundle and make some cards or projects to send to your friends and everyone around you. Just like the little seedling— you can bloom and grow with just a few beautiful stamps, and a whole lot of love.

Here are some more samples using the Bloom & Grow bundle.
