Guy Greetings for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome back for week 12 of the What Will You Stamp? challenge.  I'm sure you noticed that I was missing in action last week, but I'm back now and ready to share my project this week using the terrific stamp set by Stampin' Up! called Guy Greetings.

Check out my he-man wrestler strutting his stuff in his paper-pieced pants on the poster attached to the red brick building that houses the wrestling arena.  Wonder who his opponent is this week?

 I love Guy Greetings and was thrilled to see that it carried over into the 2015/16 Annual Catalog.  However, I think Stampin' Up! kind of missed the mark on this one by not adding in the word "Son".  I have called and told Stampin' Up! that I felt this way and requested they make a single stamp for "Son".  I just know there are plenty of stampers out there who feel the same way and, if you do, give Stampin' Up! a call to let them know and ask them to issue a single stamp.  They do listen and I'm sure if enough of us call they will do something about the missing "Son".   Okay, enough of my rant.  Here are the other stamps in this great stamp set.

I know the other members of the Design Team have some wonderful projects to share with all of you so head on over to What Will You Stamp? to check them out. 

If you would like to recreate my project, following are the supplies I used. 

• Guy Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set [137178]
• Dictionary Wood-Mount Stamp Set [130348]
• Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [121045]
• Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [101650]
• Cajun Craze 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [119684]
• Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack [137780]
• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708]

If I can help you in any way with your stamping needs please don't hesitate to let me know.  Also, if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like to receive the beautiful new catalog please get in touch with me.  I would be happy to get one out to you.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop in for a visit and hope you will leave me a comment.  I love hearing from you.

Painted Petals for What Will You Stamp?

I love the stamp set Painted Petals and was super excited when it showed up as the challenge set this week over at What Will You Stamp?  I have been wanting to make a card using this framing technique and Painted Petals proved to be the perfect choice.  I do have one tip to share about this stamp set and that is to do yourself a favor and purchase the photopolymer version.  Go ahead and ask me how I know this!!!  Photopolymer makes it a snap to line up the flowers and the leaves. 

Here are all the stamps that come in Painted Petals.  The possibilities are endless.

Love this stamp set!!!

Mother's Love for What Will You Stamp?

It's time for another Design Team challenge on the What Will You Stamp? blog.  Our challenge this week was to use Mother's Love from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog and this was so easy to do using other product found in the same catalog.  I love the Spring Flowers embossing folder and thought it added just the right touch to the flowers from Mother's Love.  Don't you just love how Stampin' Up! makes designing foolproof by providing us so many fabulous products to choose from.

Here are the other stamps you will find in the Mother's Love stamp set.

Head on over to the What Will You Stamp? challenge blog to see what the Design Team has to share with you this week.  I just know you will find tons of inspiration there.

Hello Love for What Will You Stamp?

Happy Monday Everyone!!!  Hello and welcome to my blog and another What Will You Stamp? challenge.

Check out my happy little lovebirds....aren't they just the cutest?  I used the Hello Love challenge stamp set which is a Hostess Only set and can be found on page 239 of the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I also used two other stamp sets (Crazy About You & Kinda Eclectic) because I needed a few branches for my lovebirds to perch upon and I couldn't let them sit there without any sunshine...that would have just been too cruel.

From the Garden for What Will You Stamp?

 

Welcome back for another What Will You Stamp? challenge.

 

I've got to admit that this week's project was REALLY a challenge for me.  Not only do I not own this stamp set and had to ask a fellow demonstrator to stamp me a couple of images, but once I had those stamped pieces I was not inspired...in the least!!!!  I sat and looked at the stamped pieces for about a week and tried to come up with something, anything. 
 

Finally an idea began to form and here is the result.

I decided to make a card that had a pocket in which I could insert a seed packet.  I cut the Baked Brown Sugar cardbase to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2.  The pocket on the front was cut 4 1/4 x 4 3/4 and scored at 2 3/4.  I then used the Stampin' Up! stamp set Regarding Dahlias to stamp the large flower in Baked Brown Sugar ink all over the cardbase and pocket.  The pocket was then glued to the cardbase on 3 sides using Sticky Strip.  I decorated the flap of the pocket with Melon Mambo cotton ribbon and strips of Whisper White and Melon Mambo cardstock.  Once the flap was decorated I used additional Sticky Strip to hold the flap down.  Insert the "love ya!" garden pick in the bow, insert the seed packet and you're done!!!  Wouldn't your favorite gardener love to receive this in the mail?

 

I only used 2 of the stamps that come in this set, but there are many others from which to choose.  You can purchase separately or as a bundle in which you get the stamp set as well as the Handpicked Framelits Dies. 

Now you need to go back to the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog to see the rest of the fabulous projects from our Design Team.  I just know there is lots of fabulous inspiration there.

 

If you would like to recreate my project, following is what I used 

• From The Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set [137139]
• Handpicked Framelits Dies [137361]
• From The Garden Photopolymer Bundle [138862]
• Regarding Dahlias Clear Stamp Set [130327]
• Baked Brown Sugar 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [131296]

Stamp Out Autism Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamp Out Autism Blog Hop. 

I'm so excited to be taking part in this wonderful venture for such a worthy cause.  The blog hop is taking place at the same time as several fundraising events being held across the country.  The idea for this nationwide fundraising extravaganza came from Lee Conrey, my upline and friend.  I don't know how she did it, but she was able to get many of our fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators to not only participate in this blog hop but hold fundraisers in their respective cities. I'm proud to say that tomorrow, April 11, I will be participating as a demonstrator in a fundraising event here in Jacksonville, Florida alongside Lee.

The lifelong cost per individual with Autism is estimated between $3-5 Million
 

Please help us raise funds for this worthy cause...Imagine if everyone donates only $1 how much of a difference we can make...Please click the button below to help.  Thank you!!!

The symbols for autism are puzzle pieces and I designed my project with that in mind.   I'm   sharing with you a striking photo frame using the Stacked With Love Designer Washi Tape.  I painted the frame white with an acrylic craft paint, put down the washi tape and then covered the washi tape with a light coat of Modge Podge.  I then took three large puzzle pieces and traced them onto Pacific Point, Real Red and Daffodil Delight cardstock.  The cardstock was glued to the puzzle pieces and then glued to my frame.

Thank you so much for hopping along with us today.  I hope you enjoyed my project and would love it if you left me a comment.  I love hearing from everyone. 

It's now time to continue on with the hop.  You should have arrived here from Katina Martinez's blog and your next stop will be with the amazingly talented Patty Bennett.   I know you will enjoy the entire blog hop...there are so many talented stampers participating.

                                                                                                                                                                                     

Thanks for stopping in...Please come back soon!!!
