Summer Silhouettes for What Will You Stamp?

Welcome to my blog and the weekly challenge from What Will You Stamp?   Our challenge stamp set for this week is Summer Silhouettes.  This versatile set has been around for a while now and I had made so many cards using it when it was first released.  Unfortunately it hasn't seen ink in some time so I had to blow the dust off and make it happen.  

I chose to make a sympathy card which is something I don't like to do, but sad to say my stash of sympathy cards is dwindling.  I used the stamps from the set that remind me of Queen Anne's Lace and combined that with a sentiment from An Open Heart. 

Here are all the images from the stamp set and you can see that your creations are only going to be limited by your imagination.

I appreciate you visiting with me today, but it's now time to get back to the What Will You Stamp? challenge blog to see what the Design Team has created for you this week. 

 

I hope you will play along with us by posting your project using Summer Silhouettes and maybe you will be chosen to be our next Guest Designer.

Let's Get Away for What Will You Stamp?

Happy Monday and welcome back to my blog.  Today is Week 16 for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  Our challenge was to use the Project Life Let's Get Away stamp set and I've got to admit that I sat and stared at this set for quite a while before inspiration hit.  I actually had something else totally different in mind and had started stamping that and then decided to scrap it all and start over.  Does that ever happen to you?  What you think is a great idea turns out to be not so fantastic.  The only piece that was salvaged from the original idea was one little suitcase.  The card I'm sharing today is a complete 360 from the original idea...different colors and totally different layout...so much better!!!  

I know Project Life stamp sets are designed to be used for scrapbooking, but I love how my little Bon Voyage card turned out.  What do you think?

There are some really cute little stamps in this set as shown below.

I honestly can't wait to see what the rest of the Design Team has to share today and I'll be checking out the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog as soon as it goes live at 8:30 AM EST.  Get yourself over there and share some love with everyone by leaving a comment.

You know we love to hear from you. 

 

Don't forget you can play along with us every week by posting your project using the challenge stamp set...and you might be chosen as a guest designer.

B.Y.O.P. for What Will You Stamp?

I can't believe we have arrived at Week 15 of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog.  I hope you all have been enjoying the challenges as much as I have.  The stamp set for this week is B.Y.O.P.  So what does one do with a stamp set that contains only sentiments?  You combine it with two other stamp sets....that's what you do.

My cousin recently welcomed her first grandchild and I have been intending to get a card made for the new baby...but time has a way of flying by and I hadn't around gotten to it yet.  The B.Y.O.P. Challenge provided me with a kick in the pants and the perfect little sentiment for my baby card.  I combined it with Zoo Babies and Summer Silhouettes.  I love how this card turned out.  I gotta say it's stinkin' cute!!!  Don't you think so?

There are lots of other sentiment stamps in this set as well.  Something for almost every occasion.

The Design Team has some great inspiration waiting for you on the What Will You Stamp?  Challenge Blog so go check it out.  You won't be disappointed.  Why not play along with us and use B.Y.O.P. to make your own project.  I'd love to see you share something with us.

I recently held a Paper Pumpkin class with several other demonstrators and we showed alternative ways to use five different Paper Pumpkin kits.  I made a couple of alternatives with the March 2015 Sew You kit and would like to share them with you.

 

This is what one of the cards looks like with no changes and it's super cute!

I love, love, love this Christmas card that was made by flipping the "YOU" over and turning it into "JOY".  I cut 1/4" strips of Real Red and Wild Wasabi cardstock and glued those onto alternating stripes to create my own Christmas designer series paper. 

On this next card I cut the striped card from the kit in half and glued that to the front of the Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay cardstock to create another layer.  I used those same colors and the Bird Builder Punch to make the cute little bird that is singing "Thank You".

Paper Pumpkin is monthly Magic in a Box that is delivered right to your door.  If you like the "Sew You" kit I've shown here, you can purchase that also (while supplies last) after you have signed up for a Paper Pumpkin trial.

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.

See you next week.
