BE A FRIEND-A-SAURUS & BONUS DAYS ARE HERE

July 2, 2019

Do you have a special friend that sticks by you through thick and thin? A Friend-A-Saurus so to speak? Why not send them a really cute card with a couple of friend-a-saurus’s right on the front!

I really like dinosaurs and had a ton of fun creating this cutie with the Dino Days Bundle and matching designer paper. To make the greeting stand out a little more, I sponged a bit of Old Olive ink directly onto the stamp and then cut it at an angle with the Layering Ovals dies.

Hi and welcome to this all lined up card for today. I pulled out the A Little Lace Cling stamp set as well as Varied Vases for this pretty card.

It took a little time to measure the top piece so it would fit properly but it was worth it! Before cutting the strips, I stamped two images from the A Little Lace set and then used the Word Wishes dies to cut the “happy” in Calypso Coral. Varied Vases had the right font and greeting size for the birthday wishes greeting.

I’m playing along with the SUO Challenge(Stampin’ Up! only) for this card – we are to create a project that celebrates birthdays.

Thank You

Hi and Happy Monday to you! I played around with the Handwritten background stamp over the weekend and created this card.

It was paired up with the Praiseworthy Prose stamp set for a great thank you card.

I felt that it needed a little something extra so used the Seasonal Layers dies to create those tiny flowers wrapped with the twine from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon combo.

The Handwritten stamp set is perfect for backgrounds on thank you cards and I’ve already got a couple more different techniques to try with it!

Here’s the list of products used.

Handwritten Wood-Mount Stamp Set [146521] $27.00	Praiseworthy Prose Cling Stamp Set [149454] $29.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Pretty Peacock 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [150880] $12.00

FOR THE SWEETEST BABY

Hi out there. I thought that I’d end the week with a sweet baby card created with the Wildly Happy Cling stamp set.

There are so many really, really cute images in this set which makes it hard to choose. I love elephants though so went with this Mom and baby image and coloured them with the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends combo.

The simple layout comes from Freshly Made Sketches which made it easy to add that soft touch of Purple Posy cardstock.

Here’s the product list for you.

Wildly Happy Cling Stamp Set [149408] $29.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Purple Posy 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [150881] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25
2019-2021 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers [150079] $20.00	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708] $8.25	Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack [149537] $12.00	Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [147923] $10.25
SNAIL Permanent Adhesive [104332] $9.50	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00	Simply Scored [122334] $41.00	Bone Folder [102300] $9.50

NOTE: There have been issues with the quality of the Purple Posy ink pad and it is not yet available for purchase. So, because of that I used the Purple Posy Stampin’ Write Marker to add ink “direct to stamp” for the greeting.

Have a great weekend and we’ll see you on Monday. Happy Stamping.

FRIENDSHIP DEFINED

Have you ever wondered what the true meaning of friendship is? Wonder no more – the Praiseworthy Prose Cling stamp set can help by adding the definition and I used it for today’s card!

Of course, when one is thinking of a friend, why not add some beautiful flowers! I had these magnolias stamped and waiting for some ink, so coloured them with our Stampin’ Blends and placed them just so. There was also a piece of “lace” sitting on my table and I decided that it would be the perfect backdrop for that lovely greeting! I really love the purple theme on this card!

Hi and welcome! When I make my shopping list for the new catalogue, I always try to include stamp sets to cover all seasons, events and types of projects. So today’s Relax Your Way card is a great idea for the men in our lives.

This was created with the A Good Man Cling stamp set and is not just for Father’s Day. This could be used for a birthday or a “just because” greeting!

I know that the 3D Dynamic Embossing folders aren’t available to purchase yet, but I couldn’t resist added a little texture with the Pinewood Planks folder!(I’ll let you know when they are finally available). The piece of designer paper(Perennial Essence DSP) was adhered first and then I ran the whole thing through my embossing machine.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out.
