Posted on December 11, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Thanks to all who came to visit yesterday and sent some time hopping around the blog-isphere with the Happy Stampers – we appreciate you taking the time! 🙂

As I promised on Wednesday, today’s share uses the stamp set called Botanicals For You – which complements the Occasions Catalog Botanical Gardens Suite – and the Flowering Fields stamp set. Both of these great sets are in the Sale-A-Bration catalog coming in January. Oh – and, did I mention you could get them for the whopping price of….free?!?!

It’s a seriously quick and easy card. Take a look-see:

Pretty, huh? Hang on – the directions are beyond easy!

Here we are – 15 days till Christmas (just a little public service announcement!) and the Happy Stamper Ladies-Who-Hop are bringing you another wonderful assortment of card crafting goodness! And – if that number didn’t make it all really real – then consider that, after today, there’s one more Happy Stamper Hop. And then the one after that will be ON Christmas. Real enough for ya?? I’m just sayin’ that Christmas is like..tomorrow! Yikes! 🙂 But – for today, take a moment, get a cuppa something warm and cozy and enjoy all of our creations! You’ll find links to everyone’s posts down the way a piece.

Today was a sketch challenge, and I chose to go Christmas-y, using one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday Catalog. Wonderland (sadly retiring!) just hits all the right notes for me – and adding sentiments from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits and Sassy Salutations just sends it smack over the top. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Versatile Christmas Poinsettia

Posted on December 7, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all. Hope that you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to get the week going!

This was a busy weekend for me – we’re moving to a second shift schedule this week, meaning I’ll get back to the hotel each day around midnight. 🙁 For those of you who’ve been following me, you know that’s not my favorite work schedule! I’m a 9pm bedtime kinda girl! And, it really messes with my card making time. So, I spent the weekend making cards so I’d be able to keep sharing something with you each day!

Today’s project is a Christmas card, featuring Versatile Christmas for the sentiments (Versatile Christmas is on the Retiring list – so if you want it, now’s the time!) and the beautiful Festive Flower punch. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Going Global Sneak Peak

Posted on December 6, 2015 by stampsnlingers

So – have I told you guys that I have a most awesome husband? Well, if I haven’t – I should have. Cuz I do. He routinely stays back at the homedrome keeping everything together and going. And taking care of horses. And cats. And bills. And…and…and! And, he’s been thru way more than his fair share of taking care of me (literally) thru a series of medical things. Better than I could have ever hoped for – and for much longer than either of us ever expected! So. I am a fortunate woman, indeed. Just wanted to say that!

For my share today, I decided I’d whip up a card with the soon-to-come (like on 5 Jan!) Going Global stamp set in the 2016 Occasions Catalog. The stamp set lends itself really well to “miss you, love you” kinds of cards – so this is one that will go in the mail to my most-wonderful-hubby on Monday. And the coordinating Going Places DSP Stack is just gorgeous! I used a little of the paper and a few of the stamps and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Peace Graces Super Simple Single Stamp Saturday

Posted on December 5, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Today’s share is quick and easy! And uses one of my very favorite stamps from the 2016 Holiday Catalog that, sadly, is retiring in January. 🙁

The Dove of Peace stamp is an elegant, religious Christmas stamp – with the added appeal of being suitable for coloring and customizing to suit your craft! For this card today, I’ve kept it very, very clean and simple. It’s monochromatic in white and Cherry Cobbler. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Midnight Woodland Run and a Happy Stampers Blog Hop

Posted on December 3, 2015 by stampsnlingers

11960226_1268896359803603_8583437756952711798_n

The Happy Stamper Ladies-Who-Hop have gathered their projects to share with you this week. We all very much appreciate that you take the time out of your pre-Holiday hair-on-fire busy-ness to browse our creative efforts. Thanks so much!

Here’s our design inspiration – this week was a color challenge! We were to use Night of Navy, Soft Sky and Silver. Well – I had two out of three here in Arizona – so my share uses Pool Party instead of Soft Sky. Bad planning, I guess! 🙁

For my card, I did something that – quite frankly – I’m ashamed to confess I hadn’t even thought about doing. Until one of the ladies in our group made a card where she did this cool thing. That I’m now going to kind-of-CASE. Since I didn’t think of it my own self, I feel obligated to surrender my Official Horse Person club membership card. I simply Can. NOT. Believe. I. Didn’t. Think. Of. It. First.

Take a look-see and I think you’ll catch my drift. And agree with my dis-barment.

Stampin’ Up! Love You Sew Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 2, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’ guys. Hope your week is going well as we hit hump day! My share today is a sneak peek of one of the most fun stamp sets in the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog. Those of us who went to Onstage Live had the chance to order it early – which was cool, since it’s a Hostess Stamp! I’m pretty sure every demonstrator who attended ordered this set. It. Is. That. Cute!

I’m talking about the Love You Sew stamp set (it’s so new I couldn’t even show it to you in the Supply List!). And it has so many fun images and sentiments in it that it’s the only set I needed to make this card. Take a look-see:
