Vintage Vogue Friends LNS55

Hi Stampin' friends! It's Monday, which means it is time for a new Late Night Stampers Challenge! This week, the challenge is to create a "Vintage" card, which I knew our brand new "Vintage Vogue" stamp set would be perfect for!

The "vintage" look is not my typical style, but I had fun creating something outside my comfort zone. Vintage is all about a classic, enduring appeal, so I tried to incorporate elements that I think have been around for a long time, and will be for a long time to come. Polka dots are an element I love, and certainly have an enduring appeal, so I added a polka dot background texture (polka dot embossing folder ) and polka dot ribbon. Gold is another element with long-standing appeal, so I added a gold brad. I also like how distressing adds an older feel, so I used a couple of distressing techniques: sponging, scuffing, and "rock n rolling".

Like our wood-mount stamps, clear-mount rubber stamps are also die-cut, which makes it easy to start stamping right away. And they come in DVD-style cases for easy storage.

I love the new clear mount stamps SO MUCH! I have created my first video to show you how easy it is to mount the stamps and use them on our clear blocks. Check out my video HERE!

Valentines Door Hanger

I don't have much blogging time today, but I want to share this Valentine's Door Hanger with you, so you are going to get a "quickie" version of this project. :)

I used 4x4 chipboard coasters and mod-podged on designer paper from the NEW Sweet Pea Paper stack, 48 sheets, 2 ea of 24 double-sided designs for just $24.95!

I am still just absolutely LOVIN' that chunky, striped ribbon. I just want to use it on everything! It was perfect for this project to string it through each coaster. Helpful Hint: Punching through chipboard is "no sweat" with the Crop-A-Dile!

I loaded up this project with fun embellishments: sweet pea stitched felt, NEW Sending Love epoxy brads, Taffeta ribbon, and a heart punched from very vanilla cardstock.

Wonderful Mother: Occasions Mini Well-Scripted Stamp Set

I think I may be coming down with something... Occasions Mini Mania, that is! It has been hard to drag me away from my studio this week, I have been having way too much fun with all of my new Occasions Mini products. Still need your copy of the Occasions Mini Catalog?? Just EMAIL ME and it will be on its way today!

Today's card features some of my favorite items from the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog, and goodies from my stalwart friend the2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.

The layout for my card was inspired by this week's Mojo Monday Sketch challenge (one of my favorite weekly challenges).

I am totally in LOVE with the 5/8" satin ribbon now available in 9 colors in the Occasions Mini. I used some in Chocolate Chip here to create a bow for the center of my flower. This is a super easy flower to create by using circle punches. The petals are 1" circles, and the center is a 1-3/4" circle (also a punch). I added a corduroy button in Pumpkin pie with a linen thread bow to top off my flower. Ohhhh! Ahhhhh! That's what I have to do every time I see the stitched felt. It is just toooo cute! It comes in a package with 52 pieces and is just $7.95. LOVE IT!

And now, darling blog visitor, the greeting "Wonderful Mother" comes from my favorite stamp set from the New Occasions Mini: "Well-Scripted". It is available in standard wood-mount, and also in the new option to clear mount.

Here's a visual on the Well-Scripted Stamp Set: This set has lots of fantastic greetings for so many occasions.

Ok, ok, I know this post is going on forever, but I just can't stop! I have to tell you about the designer paper I used for this card. It is from the NEW Sweet Pea Paper Stack. It is such an amazing deal! You get 48 sheets of double sided designer paper for just $24.95!! EEEEEK! I am on overload with excitement for all the incredible new items in the Occasions Mini!

Ribbon Butterflies

It's time for a new Late Night Stampers weekly challenge! This week, the challenge is to get creative with ribbon.

Stampin' Tips:
-I used a little linen thread to cinch together scraps of ribbon to create lovely butterflies.
-The Big Shot and Little Leaves Sizzlit make it a snap to add a some greenery to any card.
-I love to layer the Curly Label punch and Word Window punch together, like I did for the greeting on this card. Hint: Stamp first, punch second! When you stamp your greeting first, it is easy to center and straighten out the image so it looks perfectly stamped every time!
-The Circle Scissor Plus is your new best friend when it comes to circle frames! Hint: use the glass mat for best results.
