Fabulous Flamingo card inspired by Vans

 

Get ready to order this super fun, new Stampin' UP! Fabulous Flamingo set on June 1, 2017!

I was thrilled to receive this fun Fabulous Flamingo stamp set at the Stampin' Up! April OnStage event in San Diego!  I knew right away I was going to love playing with bright colors to create projects with this stamp set!!   If you are looking for it in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, you'll find it on page 177.

 

Fabulous Flamingo Stampin' Up! card idea by Patty Bennett featuring the fun new Lemon Lime Twist In Color

 

One night when we were mall walking and eating dinner in the mall, we sat in Johnny Rockets eating and as I looked across the mall to the stores on the other side, I was looking at this flamingo display in the Vans shoe store ... and of course my mind was thinking... OH I have that new Fabulous Flamingo stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog!!  I need to make a card like this!!  :)

 

Fabulous flamingo stampin up pattystamps vans store display mall

 

Pattystamps-crafty-tips

I have a fun tip for you .. get more mileage out of your punches (or dies) by altering the shape after you punch!  As you can see for my Tickled Pink label, I punched Whisper White cardstock  with the Pretty Label punch first, then just cut off the top and bottom scalloped parts!

 

Craft Tip for the Pretty Label Punch - new from Stampin' UP! - easy way to alter the shape of your punch!

 

 Color Combo Tip:

This is my Stampin' Up! Color Combo for this card.   I find it helpful to take a photo of the ink pads I use when stamping, just in case I want to recreate the project, or if someone asks me weeks or months down the road, and my memory has failed :)

 

Color Combo for Fabulous Flamingo Stampin' Up! card idea by Patty Bennett featuring the fun new Lemon Lime Twist In Color

 

You'll notice from the stamps in the set that it is a "3 step" stamp set.. there are 2 layers of solid images and 1 layer that is an outline for stamping the flamingo.  I stamped the most solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink, then the next solid image with Calypso coral, and then the outline in black.

I stamped the water in Bermuda Bay and then used the aquapainter and water to go over it, and then I decided to use my Clear Wink of Stella on the water, too.

The leaf stamp is in the set, too, and I stamped it in Lemon Lime Twist for a fun bright finish to this card.

Blendabilities Update:

I am VERY Sad to share this news with you - The Blendabilities Product Line has been Discontinued.  I know.. I think we all need a moment to take that in.

  • As I shared with you last week, the Blendabilities markers have been experiencing defect issues, namely that many of the markers arrived dry to the customers.
  • In a nutshell, the manufacturer is unable to correct the problem and provide Stampin' Up! with a solution. Therefore the product line has been discontinued.
  • The good news is that Stampin' Up! is committed to ONLY selling the BEST products available, so rather than ship a defective product and continue to send replacements, they have made this decision.
  • The Memento Black Ink pad and refill will still be available (and that's great news because it's a fabulous black pad!)
  • What should you do?

            1.  If you currently have a pack of Blendabilities on backorder that you purchased, do nothing, you will receive a refund from Stampin' Up! within the next month.

            2.  If you have selected a free pack of Blendabilities from hostess rewards or from a Sale a Bration choice  and they are on backorder or defective, please complete the survey (CLICK HERE) - have your original order number handy - and you will be able to select a replacement Sale a Bration or hostess item. 

            3. If you feel you have a defective package of Blendabilities, please contact Stampin' Up! Demo Support at 1 800 STAMPUP.

            4. If you need ideas for coloring your images, we still have our great Stampin' Write Markers here, our Blender Pens here, and our AquaPainters sold here to use with your Stampin' Up! ink pads.  

 

Note: due to the unavailability of the Blendabilities as part of the advertised Sale a Bration offering, some of the other 14 Sale a Bration products MAY run out.. stamp sets will be available through 3/31/15, but the other items MAY risk selling out.

New Stamp Set Release and Weekly Deals!

 

Before I share the new stamp set and weekly deals with you, I MUST share this fun idea with you!

Oh my gosh.. you have to see what my son Jason made!!!!

Fall-fun-framelit-man-head-ghost

135856-fun-fall-framelits-dies I was working on my Founder's Circle swaps with this cute Ghostie die cut from the Fun Fall Framelit die set, and Jason walks in to say hi, and he picks up a ghost and turns it upside down and says... THAT'S A MAN'S HEAD!  Look what he did! :)

So if you have kids in the house (or Big Kids, too) :) invite them to come create with you and you'll be amazed what they see that you don't see!! :)

OK, now back to your regularly scheduled program...

Beautiful Bunch Flower Stamp with Lovely Lace Embossing Folder

 

You know I'm all about flowers, right? ... and I'm REALLY all about any matching stamp and punch... well, here's my new 2014 favorite from Stampin' Up!  Another new flower stamp with a matching punch!! YAY Stampin' Up!!  whohooo!

I hope you like these cards we made in Stamp Class last weekend!

Beautiful-bunch-lovely-lace-embossing-folder-cards

Some of the new Stampin' Up! stamps and products I used are:

Beautiful Bunch Stamp set, pg 158, #134279 (wood), #134282 (clear)

matching flower punch: Fun Flower, pg 219, #133785

You really need to add these to your wish list.. and while you are at it, add this gorgeous new embossing folder.. how pretty is this embossed in Whisper White Cardstock!?? aaah!!!! Lovely Lace embossing folder, pg 227, #133737.

Oh, and the new greetings I used are from the Hey You set... i am pretty sure this is this set gets the award for "most hidden in the catalog".. find it on pg 103!! They are shown at 1/2 size so they are easy to miss!

Lovely-lace-embossing-folder-stampin-up-samples

133737-lovely-lace-texture-impressions-embossing-folder

 

Above: you can see that once you emboss it if you flip the paper over, you can either get an embossed (raised) or debossed (depressed) impression on the paper! That's like 2 embossing folders in one! :) (2, 2, mints in 1) (remember that?)

 

<<< This is the beautiful Lovely Lace Embossing Folder... wow.. even my best stamping friends said "This is a Patty embossing folder"... do they know me or what!?

Lovely Lace embossing folder, pg 227, #133737

Beautiful-bunch-lovely-lace-embossing-folder-card

I punched the leaves using the same Fun Flower punch and a green cardstock scrap.. great way to use up scraps!

While you have that wish list out, may I suggest adding the gorgeous new Blackberry Bliss ink and ribbon to your order?  Wow.. .BEST new color ever!! 

I stamped the dotted center with Daffodil Delight and punched it out with the 7/8" scallop circle punch.. this would have been equally as pretty with the new Hello Honey ink, too!  Then I added Pearls and colored them with the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities marker (coming soon!).

Blog Tour - SNEAK PEEK PRODUCTS!!

Dinnblogtour

WELCOME to the JUNE 2010 Control Freaks Blog Tour !!!

You have probably joined me after visiting Jen's Blog, and you can click on the "next blog" link at the bottom of the post to continue on the tour  :)

This month we are featuring "a sneak peek" of products from the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog, to be released on July 1.  Please enjoy the samples and the tour !! 

My first sample is a vintage style card made using the wonderful new Designer Paper called NEWSPRINT as a focal point on the tag.  I stamped it with the new set called Artistic Etchings, which I think is going to be my new fave set!  The new color I used is Cherry Cobbler.... OH MY GOSH>> YUMMMMY COLOR! :)  I also used the "love" quote from a new hostess set.


Artistic etchings tag card

I made my own "background" on the card above, to look like an page from an old book, using My Digital Studio... stay tuned next week for details on how to do that.

NEXT up...

My poor old handstamped checkbook cover was soooooooooo old I decided I needed an UPGRADE!

So... SNEAK PEEK PRODUCTS TO THE RESCUE!

Checkbook cover


I used some new Greenhouse Gala DSP and the new stamp set "Friends Never Fade" plus some die cut and punched out flowers for my checkbook cover.  I added a strip of new Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta ribbon for an accent.

Greenhouse gala chbk close up

For Flower Accent:

  • Birds & Blooms die with Presto Patterns Paper, sponged with Tangerine Tango ink
  • Boho Blossoms punch with Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery cardstock, sponged with Marina Mist and Wild Wasabi ink on edges.
  • 1/8" Chocolate Chip brad for center

I think it turned out really pretty!

This was my old one - I have had it sooooooooooo long! ... anyone recognize this set ? :)  NO> It's NOT a Sneak Peek...

Old checkbook cover 

Sure brings back memories, doesn't it!!???   I think it was called Sketch It.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and ENJOY THE BLOG TOUR!

Manhattan Flower Impressions Die

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.. I've been having FUN today!!  I got my exclusive Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die today, and I HAD to play with it right away!  I used it in conjunction with my Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set from Stampin' Up! and Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip cardstock/ink..

DSC05873 copy 

I used tags from both the new Matchbox Die (Occasions Mini catalog) and the Stampin' Up! "Lots of Tags" Sizzlit dies.  A couple of the tags layer nicely from the 2 products!

DSC05871 copy 

Notice the new Baja Breeze Corduroy Buttons! (available now to demonstrators, available on April 1 to customers).

DSC05875 copy 

The Manhattan Flower die is on pg 202 of the current Stampin' Up! catalog, item #114517, $7.95 and is available NOW!

OK.. now go play with your new stuff and tell me what you made!
