Small Wallet Fold Gift Card Holder-Feels Like Frost (No Stamping):

 

  1. Cut balmy blue cardstock 8 ½” x 3 ½” and score at 2” and 6” along the long side. Round the corners.
  2. Cut DSP (Feels Like Frost used here): 
    • 3 ¼” x 2 ¼” (front bottom piece)

    • 3 ¼” x 3 ¾” (back)

3. Adhere all DSP to the cardstock. Punch notch with 1 ½” circle punch. Adhere two sides of the gift card pocket with tear and tape.

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.

Lynnzcrafters

 

Hi Friends!

Today is Day 2 in my Gift Card Holder series. Today I am featuring the “Jumbo Gift Card Holder”…. you know how sometimes gift cards you purchase at the market come all packaged up inside sealed package? Well, those usually don’t fit in our traditional gift card holders unless you rip them out of their packaging. Well not anymore- here you go!

 

 

Jumbo Gift Card Holder-Gnome for the Holidays: 

  1. Cut Balmy Blue cardstock base: 10 ¼” x 5 ½” and score at 1 ¾” and at 6” along the long side. 
  2. Cut Snowflake Splendor DSP: 5 ¼” x 4” (front cover) and 5 ¼” x 1 ¾” coordinating piece for strip on top of previous piece. 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.
  3. Cut medium celebration dies out of whisper white cardstock. Stamp gnome and tree on the shape. Color in with Blends: granny apple green, balmy blue, crumb cake, smoky slate, night of navy. Adhere to the top of the card front with dimensionals.

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.

Fiesta Bingo 🌮

Lynnzcrafters

Last night was my monthly stamping bingo night. I had to use some new space because my church and other locations were booked. This room is at the Rexford firehouse and boy was it lovely! My helpers who came early…. I could never do these events without you wonderful friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart! this front table is where I sat to be the bingo caller, and had all the prizes on display. I found a lovely Pandora station of mariachi music that we played throughout the evening which was so fun. I found the absolute cutest paper products, mini morocco’s, and this neat goodie bag all on Amazon. It really helped pull the theme together. Everyone was in the fiesta spirit, and we had a super organized sign-up sheet/Google document and everyone contributed to a taco and fajita bar for dinner before we started stamping. We had two kinds of homemade salsa, guacamole, chicken, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and onions, cheese, sour cream, nacho chips, taco shells (soft and hard), margaritas, some other adult beverages, lemonade, seltzer, and delicious desserts too! Churros, brownies, cinnamon cookies and rosettes (I think that’s what they’re called). All I can say is it was so delicious and I am so thankful from the bottom of my heart for such wonderful coordination, loved everything!

We had a good turn out, these nice long tables made it extra roomy and the lighting was fantastic also!

I have to say the margaritas were delicious and I don’t think anyone left hungry or thirsty that’s for sure.

In order to help increase their chances to win, extra bingo boards were available and our largest jackpot of all went to a brand new person who had never stamped or been to bingo before, congratulations Karen M. 💰

She was the guest of one of our newest Lynnzcrafters, Judi P.

First winner of the night was Jane who was super excited to get the butterfly gala bundle!

And here’s Judi (the newest team member I spoke about) she won our second game of bingo and picked out the new Storage by Stampin’ Up!

Next up was Stephanie who won a lovely bundle with two stamps sets, DSP, blender pens, and sponge brayers.

Alexis was our next bingo winner in game four and she was so thrilled that the Piece of Cake bundle was available!

Game five went to Sheila and she got the soon to retire flowering desert set with two kinds of embossing paste, stencils and utensils.

And the last game of the night went to Kathy- which included a pack of watercolor paper, Brusho crystals, spritzers, and two fabulous stamp sets.

After all the stamping was done and bingo was over these fabulous ladies helped me clean up and I tallied the orders and gave away even more raffle tickets. The grand raffle prize was a brand new big shot machine!

This is Meri, she won the big shot and this was only her second time coming to bingo, congratulations!

I raffled off the cute piñata- which Laurie won- and all those ladies are the ones who stayed to help me clean up. Thank you so much friends! 😘❤️😘

I’d like to give a shout out to my friend Nancy who came over the week before to help me do all the big shot work and prep for this event. And to my wonderful team Lynnzcrafters, especially Kathy who so kindly helped with all the set up and clean up!

It truly takes a village to have an event like this, and I couldn’t do it without them. I am so blessed and thankful to have these wonderful friends and all their support and all of the interest from my friends and customers, thank you for helping bingo be such a fabulous event. I love the positivity, comradeship, and plain old fun!

I do not advertise for bingo because almost every bingo night fills up from the people who attend previously, and I use this night as a kind a VIP monthly event.

I will share the cards we made another night, they were bright and colorful and Mexican inspired.

Thank you so much for reading this post today, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Glitter & Glam Girls Blog Hop April Mother’s Day

Lynnzcrafters

 

Happy April Everyone! I’m thrilled to be dipping my feet back in the water of joining some dear friends in a brand new monthly blog hop, thanks Chris and Raquelle for inviting me to join you in this new endeavor! We will hop on the first Monday of every month, and I know you will love these amazing cards and projects.

Today we are featuring Mother’s Day or Feminine cards for you. We have a different theme each month and will be featuring Stampin’ Up! products and special releases.

There are several new stamp sets in our Occasions Catalog that lend themselves to this theme, and I choose the stunning set called Vibrant Vases (item # 148656 $17 US) this set is a match for the awesome Vases Builder Punch found in our Annual Catalog (but I didn’t use it on this card). Instead, I featured the Stitched Rectangles Framelits (item # 148551 $35 US) to create a “frame” for my whisper white base. To adhere to our theme, I looked through all my paper and I was inspired to use some of my All My Love Designer Series Paper (item #148576 $11)- you guys, it’s not just for Valentine’s! The color palette in this paper is what inspired my ink colors- Soft Seafoam and Flirty Flamingo! And the little floating shelf I made from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits (item# 148527 $35), again- not just for Valentine’s!

 

My greeting came from the amazing Itty Bitty Greetings (item #146667 $36 clear mount, or I have this set in wood mount item #146664 $48) and I punched out the Mother’s Day greeting with the Classic Label punch, also from the Annual Catalog (item #141491 $18).

 

I made this card to showcase the Vibrant Vases stamp set and let me tell you, any greeting would look amazing on this card, am I right? Who would you give it to?

 

Well, that’s it for today, thank you so much for visiting me! Won’t you please leave me a comment? I’m trying to grow my readership here on WordPress, and your comments actually help my visability!

Now just click the link below to head over to the other talented ladies in the hop!  And scroll below if you want to learn about my new monthly special for my customers and team! I’m thrilled to have created a new collaboration with 12 other demonstrators!

You guys, back in February when I was at a Leadership Conference that was organized by my Stampin’ Up! coach (Ronda Wade), I looked around the room and was amazed at the talent and success of so many wonderful ladies. I had been wanting to be a part of a co-op or collaborative to offer free tutorials to my customers but all of the ones I looked into were full (with waiting lists). So I had the great idea to create one. That’s right- by the end of the first night, I shared my idea with ladies I was sitting with, and before the weekend was over, we had a group of 13 demonstrators eager to take the plunge with me.  We’ve worked really hard to come up with 13 unique and spring themed projects that we know you’ll enjoy! The best part of our Talented Tutorial Team- is we’re giving these tutorials away FREE to our customers and team members. I’ve already shared them with my downline and a few customers who had to order the new storage system the other day. You can get it for free by placing a minimum $40 order (before tax/shipping) from me during the month of April. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much.

CenterStage Fun at Epcot And Day 1 at OnStage!

Lynnzcrafters

Hi everyone, I have been so busy getting ready for our huge 30th anniversary celebration for Stampin’ Up! but I have a little time before I head to the airport so thought I would share some photos with you. This was one of my gifts that I made for my team who came down to Orlando with me. I found the font online it’s called Waltograph. I knew we would be getting a new bag and wanted them to have bag tags.

this is my friend Sue, so glad to run into you! We used to be in a blog hop together, thanks for the hug my friend!

On Wednesday we headed right to check in to get our wristbands, bags and gifts (thank you Susan for taking my things back to the hotel for me!) and hop on a bus to head to Epcot, Stampin’ Up! gifted us a free day at Epcot and had a special dessert and announcements in the evening right before the fireworks. It was so magical to spend that day with my friend and downline, Lisa, (It was her promotion in August that triggered my promotion to gold), and it was a true blessing to be recognized and rewarded for that while we were here. Two of my downline, Tiffany and Amye coordinated to be at Epcot that day it was great to catch up with them while we were there and so many other demonstrators celebrating too!

Thank you Lisa for my golden Minnie ears, I will treasure them! We had a wonderful meal in Mexico for lunch, and then in morocco for dinner. Thank you for your generosity!

We received so many wonderful gifts from Stampin’ Up! they had fabulous stamping projects for us to make during our lunch time. They had a timeline of all 30 years of the Stampin Up company around the room, it was great to read about all the milestones.

we are so excited about the new products that will be coming in the occasions catalog, and the new Sale-a-Bration offerings are fantastic, you will love them all! These two new catalogs will launch on January 3rd.

Well that is it for today, be sure to check back tomorrow when I will have another post about Day 2!

I would love to read your comments!

Thanks so much!

Creative Inking- Thankfulness Blog Hop

Lynnzcrafters

creative hop

 

Hello Again,

I was in two blog hops that happened to fall on the same day, today! And our theme here with the Creative Inking crew is also Thankfulness… it is such a great theme, and I am full of thankfulness- for my loving family, the doctors and nurses and medical staff who have helped us with my sweet mother’s battle with cancer and my sister-in-law’s battle with Crohn’s disease. The past two months have been a whirlwind of emotions and change for our family, but through it all our faith is sustained. I have needed a lot of cards to express my thanks, if you saw my post this morning, I used my beloved owl punch to create a card and little house. Now tonight, I’m featuring two simple fall cards that you could customize for any occasion!

Today’s card is for the Community Hospice staff who have given my mother such excellent care, just wanted to create something to tell them how much they are appreciated. I hope my card inspires you- is there someone you’d like to thank? I’d love to help you create a special, individualized card of appreciation.

I was so very happy that the Vintage Leaves stamp set from last year’s Holiday catalog carried over to our new 2016-17 Annual Catalog. These leaves are so versatile and there are thousands of ideas on Pinterest with this set. The coordinating Leaflets Framelits dies make cutting a piece of cake with the big shot. (List of supplies is below).  I love this color palette: Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Garden Green. (I water-colored the die cut leaves to give them more texture and definition and so they would “pop”).

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!
This technique is pretty simple, just water color (I used our Aqua Painters) the same color ink that you used to stamp the image. It fills in nicely on the leaves. Be careful to not “over-saturate” the image as this is our very vanilla cardstock- just go over once, or the paper will “pill”. For this card I added a mason jar from “Jars of Love” bundle, I have been noticing lots of different colored canning jars out there. What do you think of this version?

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!

Don’t worry about going outside the lines, you’re going to cut them out anyway. Isn’t coloring relaxing?

Stampin Friends Blog Hop- Thank You!

Lynnzcrafters

SFblog

 

Welcome to our October Blog Hop!! This month our theme is Thanks, Thanksgiving, and Thankfulness. I have needed a lot of Thank You cards lately, and I wanted to showcase a card and project that might inspire you too! As always, everything is available in my online store, and I’m happy to help you if you need anything, let me know!

As you know, I am involved in four blog hops with four different groups of stampers. Today it just so happens that two of the hops coincide- I worried about this happening…. but if you want to see more on this theme, come back tonight at 9 PM eastern time and you’ll see some more projects!

Everyone knows how much I love owls, right? Well, today’s projects feature my beloved owls.

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!
The card is made with the new hostess set from the 2016 Holiday Catalog called “Cozy Critters”. I pulled in the tree stump from Foxy  Friends so my little fox would have someplace to sit. Guess what I used for the owl’s eyes? The 1/8″ hand-held punch worked perfectly for the smallest pieces. (The scarves on both the owl and fox were hand-cut).  And the greeting is from “Acorny Thank You” that carried over from last year.

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!
I wanted my little owl house to be cute and woodsy, I started by just stamping the door on my piece with the hardwood background stamp in Early Espresso ink on my crumb cake cardstock. (First I cut the two pieces from Home Sweet Home thinlits dies. Use post-it notes to mask off so ink doesn’t get on the house).

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!
Use our wonderful Tear-n-Tape to assemble your little houses, you don’t want them popping open or falling apart. Love our heavy duty double sided Tear-n-Tape for projects like this!! I made a custom roof so it would look more rustic.

by Lynn Streifert www.Lynnzcrafters.com ©Stampin' Up!
The August  Paper Pumpkin kit had these adorable wooden accent pieces, I thought they added a nice touch to my little fall project, what do you think?

It’s a little retro-Vintage looking, do you agree?

Don’t forget to enter the contest for our Mystery Giveaway- be sure to leave me a comment. I love to hear from you!
