Whirlwind Stampers M&T projects

Lynnzcrafters

Happy Monday! I hope you had an awesome weekend! I know I did! I wanted to show you what we made the other day at my upline’s house for our monthly get together. When you join Stampin’ Up! there are lots of opportunities to get together and stamp with others, and I’m so fortunate to have such a great upline, who inspires me more than she probably realizes… love our Whirlwind get-togethers!

This first M&T was by Debbie Kolberg, isn’t this a cute little treat bag? She even bundled up some yummy jelly beans for us, how fun!

The second M&T was a great gift card holder! Dania came up with this one for us, and I loved using some new products from the soon to be released Holiday Catalog!
IMG_0526
Please note, the “Merry Everything” stamp and the Note Tag punch are not available until August 28th, when the 2014 Holiday Catalog goes live. PLEASE let me know if you’d like a catalog- I’m happy to get one to you!

So did you do any crafting over the weekend? I worked on some cards and projects for my new Stamp and Sip events that Dania and I are going to be trying out. Wish us luck! I’m still looking for hostesses for our launch party in September. We booked the Elks and are each hoping to find five friends to reserve a whole table for $30 (they can decide whether they want to “treat” their friends, or have everyone chip in.) the tables hold up to six people each. We are having a chocolate fondue station and have lots of fun projects planned. What a fun way to have some quality time with your girlfriends! Let me know if you’d like to give Stamp and Sip a try!

 

Here is a sneak peek of one of the projects we’re going to make at the launch party:
IMG_0523

 

 

Well, that’s all for this morning. I hope you have an awesome day! Please ask your friends if they want to get together and make some fun projects- no crafting experience necessary!

Come back tomorrow to see our swaps from Whirlwind Stampers get together!

Thanks,
Lynn

Recipes for August Club Cards (the other two)

Lynnzcrafters

Thanks so much for your nice comments and emails yesterday, I really appreciate hearing from you, and YES, I will keep sharing the recipes. People wanted to know the Stampin’ Up! ingredients for the two other club cards I shared yesterday, so here you go! I think this card would be great for someone going off to college, moving, starting a new job, getting married, or even a birthday. What do you think? Remember, this is a card I cased from a talented stamper named Heidi…. from Pinterest, where I lose more hours per week than I’d like to admit… 😉

IMG_0412
Everyone seemed to really love the Dear Heart stamp set- and as a tip, these stamps are small enough we didn’t need the foam pad like other bigger Photopolymer stamps.

Also- I am adding two additional photos to show you some ways my awesome club ladies changed up the cards (I always want my stamping friends to make the card work for them, I have alternate sentiments and always want them to go home loving their card!)

 

 

 

 

IMG_0498

 

 

 

Look at Amye’s sweet scuba diver boy! How awesome with this nautical paper?? Love him!

 

 

 

IMG_0497

 

And look how Barb stepped up her card- using the honeycomb texture folder really makes the background pop, don’t you think??

 

Well I have the rest of my club ladies here tomorrow night, I’ll be sure to report if we have any other alterations from my design, to inspire YOU!

Thank you so very much for stopping by today to check out the blog, and most importantly- thanks for your feedback about the “recipes”, I love the Stampin’ Buddy tool, and I’ll keep using it to provide you these photos and links to my website (did you know if you click the photo, it takes you to my online store, neat-o, huh?? )

 

Have a great day!

I love to read your comments, they really make my day to hear from you! thanks and happy stamping!

IMG_0415

 

I already shared the card “recipe” the other day (all the Stampin’ Up! products used to make a card) for the sunflower card. Do you like when I show you all the products? I can do it for the other two club cards, if you’re interested, please leave a comment and I will do so. thanks!

 

IMG_0412

 

I adore the new Photopolymer set “Dear Heart” (the boy version of the “Sweetie Pie” set that sold out a few months ago- what do you think?

IMG_0393

 

This card is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from Pinterest by a stamper named Heidi- thanks so much for the inspiration! I always let my stampers change the greetings, if they want, this card would be perfect for someone going off to college, or a birthday, get well, thinking of you, and many more occasions!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have an awesome day!

Fun Fold Card Swap

Lynnzcrafters

Spoiler alert for any of my Whirlwind Stamping stamping demonstrators who are swapping this month… but I was so excited with how my card came out, I decided to blog about it today!

So our August Stamp and Share Get Together with Dania Welch’s downline is tonight, and I challenged myself to do a swap card that features ALL new Products, new stamp set, new Designer Series Paper AND was a “Fun or Fancy Fold”. So I thought I would break out my brand new “Amazing Birthday” stamp set that I received free at Convention last month. I also thought about how challenging masculine cards can be, and thought of the patriotic colors in the Maritime DSP…. well, this was NOT quick to make, it was a lot of stamping, punching, fussy cutting and yes, some mistakes were made…. but I’m pretty happy with how it came out- what do you think?

 

IMG_0357

 

Want to know how I made it? Well, it is a Screen Card (I sure hope this is a “Fancy” enough fun fold card, it sure was challenging to make it!)

Coastal Cabana base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″ Scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ then punched bottom “Legs” using Decorative label punch and made the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

Then Stamped each image from Amazing Birthday in Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy ink pads, hand cut the “happy”, “today” and “amazing” words. Used the circle punches for the birthday cake and used the Little Labels punch pack for “make”. Used banner framelits to cut out the “Happy birthday to you” and the DSP behind it. Here’s the card recipe:

 

 

I love to hear from all of you- please leave me a comment and let me know YOUR favorite fun fold card!

If you need any of these items, just click the picture and it will take you right to my online store, so you can shop at your leisure!
Hostess code for August is: YA7CNZND in my online store at: http://LynnStreifert.Stampinup.net

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by my blog today! I really treasure your comments, so I hope to hear from you today! Thanks!!!

IMG_0364

 

IMG_0365

 

I was very happy to see Vivid Vases carry-over from our spring catalog, it is a great stamp to start learning to color using blendabilities. The vases just lend themselves to needing “blending”…

 

IMG_0366

 

This card was inspired by another demonstrator, Jan Tink, I just loved her color combinations and use of the camera paper. I changed my card up a tad bit.

I think Blended Bloom is one of the nicest single stamps we’ve ever offered, it is so versatile and perfect for practicing with Blendabilities! the shading and color combinations are endless!!

Lynnzcrafters

I113439S

 

Good morning Friends! I am trying to decide if I should offer an incentive or reward for people who might be interested in purchasing a Big Shot this month (since Stampin’ Up! has already sweetened the pot with a FREE bundle – choice of 4 stamps/framelits) I’m not sure if I should sweeten the deal any more?? I guess I need to know who doesn’t have one yet, and who MIGHT be interested in getting one this month???

Please help me out by talking this quick (15 seconds) poll- thanks for your help!!

Sunflower Card Recipe

Lynnzcrafters

Good Morning Friends! I had posted some photos of my 25 card swap by mail on my Facebook page: Lynnzcrafters and had so many “likes” and comments that I decided to give away the “card recipe”  to you all as my thanks for reading my blog! I am also offering this card to my club members as one of the projects for our August Clubs! I hope they enjoy making it, I know I am happy with all the new 2014-15 Annual Catalog goodies I could pack into this card!

 

 

 

IMG_0283

 

 

 

This picture represents how I work when I am doing more than one card: Assembly Line! It really helps to mass produce cards to make more than one at a time!

 

IMG_0284

 

Here you see one of my favorite tools in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog- the Silicone Craft Sheet! It saves my grid paper from getting all gunked up from adhesives and is a marvelous time saver when using snail, glue or glue guns!

IMG_0285

 

 

Here are the 25 cards all done, notice that the cards are not identical, well- that’s because the flowers can hide my “boo-boos” so to speak- if I have a flaw, I like to cover it up. Once I did that, I realized I liked having the flowers in different spots! What do you think? Which version is your favorite?

 

IMG_0286

 

Close up of the finished card. I was pretty happy with it. Hope you enjoyed this photo montage of how I made my swaps. Here’s a list of all the supplies I used:

 

Ready to order?? Here is the Hostess Code for August: Hostess Code: YA7CNZND in my online store at: http://LynnStreifert.Stampinup.net
