Happy happy Haaaaawwwwmmp Day, my peeps! The week is half-way over! Whoo-hooo!
One of the sweetest stamp sets in the Occasions catalog is the A Good Day set – especially when you pair it up with the Mini Embroidery Hoops! And that’s exactly what I did for today’s card! Take a look-see:
Recognize the card base? Yup – it’s one of the super cool Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes – which are free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase!). Continue reading
This is my second post of the day – if you’d like to see the Coffee Cafe card I shared earlier today – check it out right here!!
Stampin’ Up! shared the following note with us this morning related to the Stampin’ Blends and the possibility of backorders with long delays:
Since the introduction of Stampin’ Blends in October 2017, our forecasting and planning department has been closely monitoring our Stampin’ Blends inventory and customers’ buying patterns. Over the last couple of months, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the sales of Stampin’ Blends, which is wonderful—you are buying them, using them, and loving them! Continue reading
It’s Tuesday, y’all – so that means it’s time for another Stamp Ink Paper challenge for you! This week we’re playing with Ribbon!
I pulled out a fun set from the Annual Catalog – the Coffee Cafe and bundled Coffee Cups Framelits. And paired them with the Petal Pair TIEF from the Occasions catalog and a sentiment from the Petal Palette set. Take a look-see:
The challenge for SIP #139 is…as I mentioned…Ribbon! Hope you’ll come play along! Continue reading
Merry Monday, y’all! Well…it IS Monday – you decide if it’s Merry or not!
If you were able to join me last night for my FB Live video, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to watch and see how I made today’s card, here’s a link to the YouTube replay!
I was celebrating the arrival of my little yellow daffodils – they took last year “off”! – and made this card with the gorgeous flower image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set. And, after seeing a card on Pinterest (thanks for sending it, Elisha!), I wanted to try the technique. Take a look-see: Continue reading
Happy Sunday, folks! Hope this post finds y’all well and having a good weekend!
As is – mostly! – the norm, I’m sharing just a little glimpse at the card we’ll make this evening. I’ll be live on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page at 8pm eastern (that’s our normal time). The card uses the wonderful You’re Inspiring stamp set – and it pays homage to my brave little daffodils poking their heads up in the hopes that winter is over! Take a sneaky-peek:
We’re going to do some fun embossing in Copper – so I hope you can join me! Here’s a link! Continue reading
Mornin’! Hope your weekend has started off well – and that you’re planning something fun!
My card for today is a pretty large departure from my usual style. In that it’s not got a ton of layers, and embellishments. No froof.
I was sort of thinking…masculine card – after I saw the color scheme at this week’s Color Throwdown. So I pulled out some True Gentleman DSP and the Truly Tailored Bundle and put it all on top of a Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF embossed card front. Take a look-see:
The layout – which is quite clean and simple – is courtesy of the FabFriday sketch challenge this week. Continue reading
Well, hidey-ho, my peeps!! Friday arrived quickly, thanks to the miracle of a Monday holiday! Gotta love it!
I found out yesterday evening that a friend of mine had been in the hospital the past couple of days – with a flu-like illness (but not “the flu”!). Fortunately, she (and her baby! 🙂 ) are fine and have been sent home. But, since I’m not there to administer a hug in person, I thought I’d send her one in paper-and-ink!
So, I pulled together some of my favorite Springtime Foils Specialty DSP, a few leaves from Petals & More, and a couple of sweet sentiments from the Hanging Garden and Lots of Love stamp sets. Take a look-see:
The inspiration for this card came from the photo in the Fusion challenge this week. Continue reading
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! It’s color week and we’ve got the full complement of hoppers…. so be sure to check out all their projects when you’re done here, won’t you?
I inked up a new-to-me stamp set called Beautiful Day from the 2018 Occasions Catalog. I’d seen a lovely card out in the ether that had a large flower embossed on Vellum and colored and I remembered how much I liked the technique. So, I decided to use the flower in the Beautiful Day stamp set to create my own paper stained glass window. Take a look-see:
I played along with our color sketch, of course… Continue reading
