Lots of Labels Framelits

Favorite Retiring Stamp Set/Bundle – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

May 12, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Hello my Saturday friends! Time for our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our Favorite Retiring Bundle.

I have featured several of my favorite retiring stamp sets and bundles – there are just soo many to love!

This time I went with a bundle/suite that I will really miss –

The Birthday Memories Suite or the Birthday Delivery Bundle. All these products are just adorable! I love how the paper has all these images that can be framelit cut with the coordinating framelits! Requires minimal stamping if you desire. Also, makes creating a card like this so easy! Not to mention stinkin’ cute!

Another great item retiring on my card – the Lots of Labels framelits. I will really miss those. I used them all the time. Sadly, they have already sold out. Guess something equally as cool will be introduced!

I bet Debbie Henderson, and Mary Brown and the rest of the blog hop members will have some really must buy ideas. I can’t wait!

Stampin’ Up Supplies –

Stamp Set – Birthday Delivery
Framelits – Birthday Friends, Lots of Labels
Bundles – Birthday Delivery
Card Stock – Soft Sky
Ink – Black Memento
DSP – Birthday Memories

Thank You, Thank you, thank you

Hello my Thursday friends!

You know its time for a Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

This week, we have a new layout –

Took me no time to pull out some soon to retire Stampin’ Up items to create this –

Black and white are always a classic!

I started with creating my focal element, using the Lots of Labels Framelits. The flowers and leaves are from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits. I will so miss both these versatile items!

As I adhered the while flower to the black base, I only added Tombow glue to the center of the flower so it stands away from the base.

The ‘thank you’ is from, also retiring stamp set, Rose Wonder. I inked it up and stamped it three times, not reapplying ink. (Looks like my stamp has some lint on it…..it happens!)

Everything was placed on a piece of Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper, which was adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Quick. Easy. Elegant.

Check out the other Design Team cards at Create with Connie and Mary. I am sure you’ll be inspired! If you’d like to add a card to our challenge, you can do so on our Facebook page.

Stampin’ Up Supplies –

Stamp Set – Rose Wonder (retiring)
Framelits – Lots of Labels, Eclectic Layers (both retiring)
Card Stock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Black Memento
DSP – Pick a Pattern (retiring)

Happy Stampin’

April 7, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday!

Welcome the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards that are not square.

This is a cool idea!

I went with a framelit shape –

A very sweet Mother’s Day card!

I used some soon to retire colors, Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy. The Pick a Pattern Designer Series paper will be retiring too. The stamps are from Apron of Love.

Simply put together! And a great use of these framelits!

As my card was getting it’s photo shoot, someone else decided they needed to be in the shoot as well –

Lol!!! She is soo cute!

Curious to see other non-traditional shapes? Go forward to Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some terrific ideas!!

I’ve been wanting to play with these little piggies! And, I finally got to –

Isn’t this the sweetest?

These pig images just make me smile! Whoever designed them – clever!

The Night of Navy strip along the edge is actually the negative part of the Ticket Tear Border punch. Great idea to use everything!

CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Going Green

March 11, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Time for a Saturday blog hop for Create with Connie and Mary!

Our theme this week is Going Green. That could mean several things. A green card, St. Patrick’s Day, recycling, to name a few.

I decided to go with a green card featuring ‘shamrocks’ just for you –

A simply sweet card! Great for lots of occasions to let someone know you’re thinking of them.

I stamped flowers from the Fresh Fruit stamp and cut the fifth petal up the center to create the stem. On each one, I used a different petal to create the stem. The result? A more natural shamrock look. Kinda cool, huh?

These nifty, thinking outside the box sort of things can be found in our tutorials through Create with Connie and Mary. Check the other great designers and see what they have to share with you today and take the time to leave us a comment!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Fresh Fruit, Watercolor Words
Framelits – Lots of Labels Framelits,
Card Stock – Whisper White
Ink – Emerald Envy
DSP – 2016-2018 Envelope Liner Paper
Other – Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine

Sweet Treats for Watercooler Wednesday #108

March 1, 2017 · 4 Comments

This is the typical Wednesday for me, a post for Watercooler Wednesday. Today, this is post number two of three!

This is a weekly design team I’m on.

We have a great sketch from Gail this week –

A little edgy. A lot of fun!

I do admit, I was stumped with which way I should go.

Ultimately, I decided with the same set i did yesterday. The Cool treats Bundle.

Simply a nice little birthday card.

What really made this card was the over use of the Wink of Stella Glitter pen! I really didn’t mean too. It’s a new pens and it just started coming out! It happens!

See what the other design team members created and join up with our challenge! It’s quite fun!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Cool Treats
Framelits – Frozen Treats, Lots of Labels
Bundles – Cool Treats Bundle
Card Stock – Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake, Peek-a-Boo Peach, Watermelon Wonder
Ink – Chocolate Chip
DSP – Tasty Treats
Other – Wink of Stella

Happy Stampin’

Cupcakes, Clearance and Special Deals

September 13, 2016 · Leave a Comment

That’s right.

Let’s start with the Cupcake –

I made this using the framelits and no stamping! Well, there is for the greeting, but you get what I mean.

I used the cool new Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate for the bottom dotted portion of the card. It’s flipped over to look silver. Pretty nifty. And, it’s on sale in the Special Deals!! So are the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits!!

I just love the repeated soft stamping of the birthday greeting. Matches the silver look on the bottom quite well! And, using the negative from the Red Foil Swirls, quite cool!

What do you think? Comments make bloggers happy!

Clearance. Stampin’ Up! has put lots of new stuff on the Clearance Rack. LOTS & LOTS of cool stuff – stamps, paper and holiday stuff!
