Stampin’ Up! Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts

Mornin’, y’all!  Well, we did it!  It’s FRIDAY!  And – for me, at least – it’s the Friday before three entire days off.

No phone calls from work.  No e-mails from work.  No…nothing from work!  Whoo-hooo!

Today’s card uses another previously un-inked stamp set for me – called Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts.  I paired it with the Petal Pair TIEF and…take a look-see:

I used the sketch challenge from this week’s MFT Card Challenge for my layout. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! True Gentleman Hedgehugs

Good morning, y’all!  I think it’s Hawwmp day…right??  Which means it’s practically the weekend which means it’s practically a three-day weekend!  Thank you, thank you, Mr. King!  A friend of mine and I decided via e-mail yesterday that there’s a looooong time between holidays at this time of year, unless you get MLK day and President’s Day off.  So…hunker down, y’all – and get ready for some 5-day weeks!

My card for today uses the fun new set called Hedgehugs in the new catalog.  I paired it with some True Gentleman DSP and a few other little goodies.  Take a look-see:

So…the winner of Package #1 (A Cottage Greetings Project Kit and Cottage Greetings stamp set, a bunch of Stampin’ Spots in all sorts of colors, and a slew of cards and card fronts for you to use/embellish/finish!) is… Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Charming Cafe Bundle Thank You!

Well, it’s Monday again, folks!  Funny how that just keeps happening.  Hope you had a great weekend!  We did, here in GA – other than the ridiculous cold.  I got my shares all cut up and they’ll go out soon!  

If you were able to join me last night on my Facebook Live video – thanks so much for spending part of your weekend with me!  I’ve missed doing the videos and spending a little virtual time with y’all, so it was great to get back in the groove!  If you weren’t able to watch and would like to see the video, here’s the link to it on YouTube!

I made a thank-you card for some horsey friends of mine – a couple and their two boys.  So – I wanted a little bit of flower-dy-ness but not too much froo-froo.  I called upon the new Charming Cafe stamp set and the bundled Cafe Builder Framelits (the bundle is available in Wood or Clear mount) and I added some Wood Textures DSP.  Take a look-see:

My layout – and the wood elements – were inspired by the Fusion Challenge. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Charming Cafe Builder Thank You

Happy Sunday, y’all!  Hope your weekend is going well! Mine has involved cards and chatting with customers-who-have-become-friends (BEST part of my job, y’all!!  I love getting to know the folks in my little SU! “family”!).

I also managed to NOT buy a new phone.  And watch.  Of the Apple-variety!  I’m so proud of myself for my self-restraint!

That I fully intend to bust next weekend! 😉

Today, we’re getting back to “normal”.  Which means that…this is a video sneak peek!  I’m planning to get back on schedule and will be live tonight at 8pm Eastern on my Stamps-n-Lingers FB page.  And I’ll be making a little thank you card with the new Charming Cafe bundle.  Take a look-see:

So – hope to see you tonight over on Facebook!  8pm Eastern! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Snowy Waterfront Night

Good morning, y’all!  I’m sort of betting I didn’t win the Big Lottery last night, so this isn’t my farewell blog…

Not that I’d quit making cards or blogging if I won.  Nope.  I’d still be right here – OTHER things would go away! 😉

My card – speaking of – uses the wonderful new stamp set called Waterfront.  Once again, I let a sample in the 2018 Occasions catalog inspire me.  Take a look-see:

I played along with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge – welcome back, y’all! – going across the top and on the diagonal from the bottom left…

I started with a Dapper Denim panel and stamped the wonderful perfect awesome Pine trees image (y’all – I have a new favorite!!) across the panel about mid-way down.  I stamped the image twice without re-inking several times, to create a forest.  Then I pulled out my Whisper White Craft Ink pad.  

I stamped the moon first and then started adding “snow” – this is a wonderful image in the Waterfront stamp set.  I also added drifts of snow across the bottom.  Once I had it as snowy as I wanted it to be, I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Whisper White mat and then to a Dapper Denim mat.

I used some Liquid Glue to adhere a few loops of Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine to the card front in preparation for the rest of the elements.

I stamped the Waterfront sentiment in Whisper White Craft Ink on a piece of Dapper Denim and cut it out with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.  When it was dry, it was a little lighter than I wanted – so I traced the words with a non-Stampin’ Up! White Gel Pen.

I also cut a larger circle of Dapper Denim with a Stitched Shapes Framelits die, and stamped more of the Waterfront trees in Dapper Denim.

Finally, I cut a slightly larger scalloped circle in Whisper White and a snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.  I adhered all the pieces together with Liquid Glue and popped it over the Baker’s Twine with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A White Perfect Accents dot in the middle of the snowflake finished off the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the second sentiment from the Waterfront set in Dapper Denim on a Whisper White panel and added more of the trees across the bottom.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Dapper Denim mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Dapper Denim Waterfront trees on the front…

…and then I added more snow – in Dapper Denim – across the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Y’all!!  Oh.  My.  Goodness!  This was a stamp set that instantly drew ooh’s, aah’s and a really unseemly number of whoo-hooo’s when it was introduced at OnStage.  And I guess you can see why!  I LOVE this set!!  And I hope you do, too – and are busily clicking on it in the product list below to get it for yourself!!

Finn Fan Fix  

It’s been rather miserably cold here.  Now – admittedly, we have no snow (which you can decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing – we kind of like not having snow!) – and we’re not in the middle of a “bomb cyclone”.  Who named it that anyway?!?

But – it’s cold.  And one of the consequences of the cold is frozen water troughs and buckets for the horses.  Which leads to lots of giant…ICE CUBES!  All over the place (from where we toss the ice out).   

Well.  The man loves him some ice cubes!  When we get ice out of the freezer in the house he hears it and comes running to get one.

Imagine…ice cubes from horse water! Just a little icky and oh-so-yummy to crunch and munch.

Or…toss around and play with…

Funny little man.

Stampin’ Up! Love You Still Thank You

Good Friday morning, y’all!  I am gladder than glad that it’s the end of this week.  It’s been a week amongst weeks and …well.  I hope you had a better week than I did – and are looking forward to a great couple of days off!

My card for today took a little inspiration from a card sample in the 2018 Occasions catalog.  It’s a sample for the Love You Still stamp set on page 21!  I added just a few other elements and came up with…take a look-see:

My color scheme is from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.

I started with a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and embossed it twice in the new Petal Pair TIEF (it’s a narrow folder, so need to run it twice to get the whole panel embossed!), then Fast Fuse’d it to a Basic Black mat for the card front.

Next is a piece of Color Theory DSP, also matted on Basic Black.  I stamped the sentiment from Love You Still in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Then I Fast Fuse’d it to the card front.

On a scrap piece of Crumb Cake, I stamped the flower-strewn frame image twice in Tuxedo Black.  The first time, I inked the entire stamp – with the exception of the little grass at the bottom of each frame.  The second time, I inked only the flowers.

Then I fussy cut the frame – not a very “close” fussy cut – just a casual outline.  I also cut out the center – not as hard as it might appear, I promise! To add just a little “finish”, I edged (inside, too!) the whole frame with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  🙂

I colored the flowers with my So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker and the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend, then I popped the frame over the sentiment panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I decorated the frame with a Corrugated Elements heart and a heart from the Hearts & Stars Elements – adhering them with Liquid Glue.  I popped a single heart-shaped So Saffron Subtles Enamel Shape on, as well.  

On the opposite corner, I adhered a Linen Thread Billie Moan bow with a Glue Dot and a Very Vanilla Solid Baker’s Twine double-stranded regular bow with a second Glue Dot.   And – cuz I’m a bling-girl! – I added some little Pearl Basic Jewels to the middle of the roses.  And that was it for the card front!

For the inner liner, I stamped the small flower from Love You Still in Crumb Cake all over a Crumb Cake panel and Fast Fuse’d it to a Basic Black mat.  Then I matted a small piece of Very Vanilla card stock on Basic Black and Fast Fuse’d that over the panel.

I Fast Fuse’d the whole thing into a So Saffron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a few more Crumb Cake Love You Still flowers on the front…

…and I embossed the envelope flap in the Petal Pair TIEF!

Et Voila!  Y’all don’t miss this Love You Still stamp set – or think it’s only good for weddings or anniversaries!  It’s plenty versatile for all sorts of beautiful cards!  Hope you like! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix  

So – I was in Huntsville for the past couple of days and got home late last night.  Okay – it was 6:30 – but…it was dark.  So…LATE! 

Which I tell you to break the news that I have no new picture of the Man.

I’m so sorry!

But – I’ll leave you an old picture that just makes me smile!
