Stampin' Up Love You Lots & Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit - Gift Card Box VI

Oh my goodness, it didn't even hit 70 degree's out yesterday and it got down to 45 last night.  Brrrr....From one extreme to the other!  How crazy is this weather!

Today, I will continue showcasing Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors, Love You Lots Stamp Set (Host), other new SU products and the Many Manly Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit Gift Card Box that I designed.

Let's take a re-look at the Gift Card Box and then I'll share the last card in the series that I designed for the Gift Card Box:

 I just adore these animal cards and gift card box.  They are all just too SWEET!

In the picture above, I used one of the cards in Stampin' Up's Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit to make the Gift Card Box.  Click on the following link to go to my blog post to see how it was made http://lynnslocker.blogspot.com/2016/06/stampin-up-sneak-peek-love-you-lots.html

Now, onto the next card that I designed with SU's Love You Lots Stamp Set, In-Colors and other new SU product: 


Yup...the Hedgehogs are back!!!  And, cuter than ever!!!

My card base is one of Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors called Flirty Flamingo.  I cut it at 3" x 6" and scored and folded it at 3".

My card front panel is SU's Shimmery White Cardstock cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".

I used my Project Life corner rounder punch to round the corners of the Shimmery White Cardstock.


I stamped the Hedgehogs and my sentiment in SU's Soft Suede Ink on the Shimmery White Cardstock.

I colored in the flower with SU's Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Marker.

Using SU's Stampin' Dimensionals, I adhered the Shimmery White card front panel to my card base.

I adhered a piece of SU's new Playful Palette Designer Washi Tape that I cut in half lengthwise under the Hedgehogs for some grounding. 


 I die cut one of SU's new Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies from SU's Whisper White Cardstock and adhered it to the inside of my card using Mono Multi-Purpose Glue.

I just LOVE these hedgehogs!!!  

I thought about water coloring all the animals too; but, they are just so cute stamped as is! 

Well, that's all I have for today.  Please come back tomorrow when I'll share another card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stampin' Up Love You Lots, Bear Hugs & Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit - Gift Card Box V

We had some more storms move through again yesterday with very high winds.  One storm just missed us to the North and two more storms to the South.  We were on the very edge of two of them.  There was sunshine on one side of the house and the sky was so black on the other side of the house.  Gladwin County to the North had damaging hail and trees down.  Over 4,000 people were without power.  We were very lucky and only got rain and the high winds and our power stayed on.  And, today is quite cooler; gone is the hot, humid 80's again and back to low 70's.  Feels much better again!  You would think it was July in Michigan!

This week I will continue showcasing Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors, Love You Lots Stamp Set (Host), other new SU products and the Many Manly Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit Gift Card Box that I designed.

Today, I slipped in a 3" x 3" card using SU's Bear Hugs that is returning from the previous annual catalog to almost complete my set of cards.  I have one more card from SU's Love You Lots to show tomorrow.

Let's take a re-look at the Gift Card Box and then I'll share one of the cards each day that I designed for the Gift Card Box:


I've made a lot of Gift Card Sets; but, I do believe this has got to be my FAVE!!!

In the picture above, I used one of the cards in Stampin' Up's Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit to make the Gift Card Box.  Click on the following link to go to my blog post to see how it was made http://lynnslocker.blogspot.com/2016/06/stampin-up-sneak-peek-love-you-lots.html

Now, onto the next card that I designed with SU's Bear Hugs Stamp Set, In-Colors and other new SU product:



































Awwwwww...Isn't he Sweet!!!  How many times could I have used a BIG bear hug!!!

My card base is one of Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors called Peekaboo Peach.  I cut it at 3" x 6" and scored and folded it at 3".

My card front panel is SU's Shimmery White Cardstock cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".

I used my Project Life corner rounder punch to round the corners of the Shimmery White Cardstock.

I stamped the bear and sentiment using SU's Bear Hugs Stamp Set in SU's Soft Suede Ink.

I punched the sentiment out using SU's Word Window punch (Retired) and adhered it just above the bear with Mono Multi-Purpose Glue.  There's a new punch in the new annual catalog called Classic Label Punch that is going to work perfectly for sentiments.  Can't wait to get my hands on that punch!

I adhered my card front panel to my card base using SU's Stampin' Dimensionals.

Sorry!  My picture is just a titch blurry on the bottom!  Might be too much of a close up, eh!!!  =)

I added a piece of SU's Playful Palette Designer Washi Tape for some grounding for the bear.  The Playful Palette DWT comes in all the new In-Colors as shown in my previous blog posts.  Another one of my SU new product FAVES!!!

I die cut one of SU's new Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies from SU's Whisper White Cardstock and adhered it to the inside of my card using Mono Multi-Purpose Glue.




































I just LOVE this BIG bear and all the animals in Bear Hugs and Love You Lots Stamp sets!!! 

Here's a couple pictures of my Bleeding Heart plants.  They just fascinate me with those perfect blooms!  There's also Honey Suckle, Alyssum and Day Lillie's.


Well, that's all I have for today.  Please come back tomorrow when I'll share another card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stampin' Up Love You Lots & Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit - Gift Card Box IV

We had some storms move through yesterday with some high winds.  Our power flickered on and off a couple times and we have some tree limbs down; but, all turned out well.  The sky is such a beautiful bright blue this morning and the sun is full on.  Still quite windy out, but gorgeous!!!

This week I will continue showcasing Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors, Love You Lots Stamp Set (Host), other new SU products and the Many Manly Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit Gift Card Box that I designed.

Let's take a re-look at the Gift Card Box and then I'll share one of the cards each day that I designed for the Gift Card Box:


I'm so lovin' how this Gift Card Box and cards turned out!  Love You Lots Stamp Set is so adorable and sweet!

In the picture above, I used one of the cards in Stampin' Up's Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit to make the Gift Card Box.  Click on the following link to go to my blog post to see how it was made http://lynnslocker.blogspot.com/2016/06/stampin-up-sneak-peek-love-you-lots.html

Now, onto the next card that I designed with SU's Love You Lots Stamp Set (Host), In-Colors and other new SU product:


These two Lady Bugs are just so darling!!!  I LOVE the little arm around the others back!  So sweet and the sentiments go with the stamps so perfectly!!!

My card base is one of Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors called Emerald Envy.  I cut it at 3" x 6" and scored and folded it at 3".

My card front panel is SU's Shimmery White Cardstock cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".

I used my Project Life corner rounder punch to round the corners of the Shimmery White Cardstock.

Using the Ink-to-Stamp technique, I colored the Lady Bugs with SU's Stampin' Write Markers in Real Red and Basic Black Inks.  I huffed on the stamp and stamped it on the Shimmery White Cardstock.  So Stinkin' Cute!!!  Sometimes when I look at them, I think they are doing a little jig!!!  Too funny!

I added a little water coloring under the Lady Bugs for some grounding by using my Aqua Painter Brush and some of SU's Chocolate Chip Ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black Ink.

I added a strip of SU's new Playful Palette Designer Washi Tape to the left side of my card.

Using SU's Stampin' Dimensionals, I adhered the front panel to the card base.

























I die cut one of SU's new Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies from SU's Whisper White Cardstock and adhered it to the inside of my card using Mono Multi-Purpose Glue.

Love, Love and LOVE!!!  Love You Lots Stamp Set is one of my FAVE new stamp sets.  I just LOVE the critters!!!






































Above is a picture of one of my Azalea's in full bloom.  Well, almost full bloom; the deer and rabbits have taken a few bites out of it.  I have one planted on each side of my little tool shed.

Well, that's all I have for today.  Please come back tomorrow when I'll share another card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stampin' Up Love You Lots & Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit - Gift Card Box III

And another gorgeous day in Michigan!  Although, rain is going to be moving in for the weekend and into next week.

Today and next week I will continue showcasing Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors, Love You Lots Stamp Set, other new products and the Many Manly Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit Gift Card Box that I designed.

Let's take a re-look at the Gift Card Box and then I'll share one of the cards each day that I designed for the Gift Card Box:



Here's a re-look at the Gift Card Box that I designed using Stampin' Up's Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit.

See my 6-1-16 blog post on how to make the Many Manly Occasions May Paper Pumpkin Kit Gift Card Box here http://lynnslocker.blogspot.com/2016/06/stampin-up-sneak-peek-love-you-lots.html

I just adore SU's new 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.  It ties such nice bows!!!


































I have a passion for frogs (Not Live Ones) and this little guy is just adorable!

My card base is one of Stampin' Up's new 2016-2018 In-Colors called Dapper Denim.  I cut it at 3" x 6" and scored and folded it at 3".

My card front panel is SU's Shimmery White Cardstock cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".

I stamped the frog from SU's new Host stamp set called Love You Lots in another new In-Color called Emerald Envy and the sentiment in Dapper Denim.

























I used my Aqua Painter Brush and SU's Chocolate Chip Ink and brushed it under the frog for some grounding.

My card front panel was then adhered to my card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used my SU Confetti Hearts Border Punch and punched a small heart from another of SU's new In-Colors called Flirty Flamingo and adhered it to the frog using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I adhered a strip of SU's new Designer Washi Tape called Playful Palette down the right side of the card.  Another FAVE of mine!!!


For the inside of my card, I die cut one of the fancy hearts from Whisper White Cardstock using SU's new Sweet & Sassy heart framelits dies.  There are 15 dies and two different styles of hearts in the set.



I LOVE how my cards turned out.  Sweet and Simple!!!






































Above is a picture of my Clematis plant in bloom.  This is right outside the sliding glass door going into my Studio.






































Here's a close up of the BIG, gorgeous flowers.  Hmmmmm...I think SU has a punch like this!!!  =)

That's all I have for today!  Hope you can come back Monday for another Love You Lots card share.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Have a great weekend!!!
