Are you anxious to see how easy it is to tint Stampin’ Up!’s new vintage dimensional flowers?  If so, today’s video is tailor-made for you!

In case you missed yesterday’s post, check out the Oh, Hello card.  It is waiting to make your aquaintance!  Helloooo…

Until next time…

Have you ever wished that there were more hours in a day?  I know I do! Fortunately for me, my wonderful team mates at The Paper Players were very understanding when I was not able to get my Design Team card completed before Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership.  Anne Marie had planned a wonderful color combination for us, and I knew in my head what I wanted to create.  I was finally able today to put ink to stamp.  I hope you enjoy “Oh, Hello for The Paper Players“!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:  Sweet, Shabby, and Sassy
This card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

• Sweet! Stampin’ Up!’s new Flower Trim adds a vintage touch of sweetness.  These dimensional flowers can be easily tinted any color by simply using an ink pad, Sponge Dauber and Stampin’ Spritzer.  My color of choice for today’s card was Daffodil Delight. 

• Shabby! A Tea Lace Paper Doily cut in half adds a shabby background to the Pacific Point Oh, Hello Herringbone Oval. 

• Sassy! Herringbone and Polka Dots add a sassiness to any card.  The Daffodill Delight designer paper is from the Parker’s Patterns collection, while the Basic Gray Polka Dots are courtesy of the Neutrals Collection Designer Series Paper Stack.

This is a relatively simple card to make.  Punching out the Oh, Hello oval is a piece of cake with the new Oval Framelits.  Plus I have prepared a short video on dying the new Flower Trim, which will debut Tuesday.  So what do you think of today’s card?  I tried to make it a little fresh and sassy, as well as give it a few vintage touches.  As always, your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one.

Until next time…

Little Lexi (Burlwood’s Unlike Any Other) was a big winner at the St. Paul, Minnesota dog shows.  Although I was away from home from 6:00 AM Thursday morning and did not return until late Sunday evening, it was worth the trip.  Lexi was Winner and Best of Winners in the Northstar Working Group Show, earning her first two points towards her AKC championship at the age of 8 months.  Then she went on to win the Minnesota Boxer Club’s Best Puppy and Grand Sweepstakes titles.  We are so proud of her!

Unfortunately, I had poor internet connections at the hotel.  I am so far behind in my emails.  And of course, I fly off Wednesday morning to Orlando for Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership…so I will be getting farther behind. However, for those of you who purchased the Spring Catalog New Product Shares…they will be mailed out Wednesday.  Everything is cut, counted and ready to place into their mailers.  My sweet husband wrote out the address labels for me and will drop them off at the post office for me.

And congrats to the following people for correctly guessing the stamp sets I used on Sunday’s card:  The Bean and Amy Williams.  Since you two were the only ones who guessed all four correctly, (the Waterspot Stamp from French Foliage was a stumper for most of you), you will both receive rolls of all five 2012 – 2014 In Color Ribbons.  If you would please email your address to me, I will get your ribbon mailed out to you.

I know that many of you will be at Leadership, and I can’t wait to meet up with again this year! Until next time…
