A Berney Bulldog Thank You

Hello stampin' friends and happy Thursday!  

This week has FLOWN by!!!  So quickly, that I almost didn't have time to get anything made for teacher appreciation week!  I had big plans of making something super cute for Owen to take to his teachers this week, along with a card.  Well, as you can see, I only managed a card.  But it's the thought that counts...right?!?

Thanks to the fun Lined Alphabet stamp set and the super cute book images from the Hand Delivered hostess set, I was able to make a quick card for both teachers and send them off to school this morning.  Just in time since there is no school tomorrow!  Oh...and of course I had to add a Berney Bulldog, the mascot for Owen's school. The Sitting Pretty stamp set will forever be called the Berney Bulldog set in our house.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape, Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch

Ink ~ Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape

Stamp Sets ~ Lined Alphabet, Hand Delivered, Labeler Alphabet, Sitting Pretty

Other Supplies ~ Pretty Park Framelits, Whisper White Bakers Twine

Okay, who else saw the new 2018-2020 In Colors and immediately thought of teachers???  These colors are so bright and cheerful and FUN!!!  I am loving ALL of them!

Don't forget to have your kiddos thank their teachers this week...even if it's just a simple thank you straight from their mouth.  A word of thanks goes a long ways, especially for our teachers and all that they do!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!



Sitting Pretty ~ OnStage Las Vegas Display Samples

Welcome back stampin' friends!  I'm sharing a few more OnStage display samples featuring two new sets coming in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Today's samples feature the Sitting Pretty stamp set as well as the Lined Alphabet stamp set.

I was kind of stumped with the Sitting Pretty stamp set at first, but after my youngest looked at it and got excited about the Berney Bulldog, his school mascot, I just knew I had to do a scrapbook page!  With a little embossing paste, a bit of DSP and some stamping, I had a fun page in a hurry.  The little bulldog was the perfect added touch.  My son has already asked to have this framed so he can hang it in his bedroom :-)

*Disclaimer ~ I can say that he is my favorite Berney Bulldog because he is my only kiddo who has gone to school there!  :-D

Next up are a couple of cute puppy cards.

There are framelits that coordinate with this stamp set that coordinate with the dog, the bench, the plant and a few other stamps.  It also includes another bench and some cobble stone.  I can't wait to get it to complete the bundle!  The "best friend" sentiment comes from the Love What You Do stamp set.  Isn't every puppy your best friend?!?

If you notice, I also used one of the new Basic Brads on the card with the heart.  The colors included are Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy and Whisper White colors.  I'm pretty excited to have brads again to embellish cards!


After inking up this stamp set and seeing so many other cute samples, I am not nearly as stumped as I was when I first saw it.  That little bulldog is just too cute!

One of the best things about being a Display Stamper is having to really think outside the box and be creative.  I need to remind my self of this every day when I'm stamping...it will lead to many more fun creations!

Thanks for stopping by again today!  I still have more samples to share, so be sure to check back soon!

Happy Stamping!
