Well. We did it, my peeps! We made it thru the week to Friday again!
But – you know what I realized today?
Time is running down. To…my Double Peppermint Points special ending (on the 14th). To…the new catalog going live (on 1 June)! To…me sending out Catalog Shares to folks who’ve bought them (8 June!)! To…me going to California for work (9 June) – then flying home and going…TO ALASKA (15 July!)! Whoo-hooo!
Lots to be done bewixt now and then, yes?
But, for now, how’s about a quick and easy birthday card? I used some of the new Garden Impressions DSP, the Happy Birthday Thinlits die and a few images from the Abstract Impressions stamp set. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I love crooked-y panels!!
This one was quick and easy, y’all!
I started with two panels of the new Garden Impressions DSP (coming on 1 June) – both of which are matted on new Petal Pink card stock!
The card base, in new Shaded Spruce card stock, is embossed on the front in the Layered Leaves Dynamic TIEF. Then I adhered the two matted panels – the bottom layer with Liquid Glue and the top popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I fussy cut a few flowers and a leaf from the Garden Impressions DSP. I adhered the leaf and double flower with Liquid Glue.
For the sentiment, I cut two Happy Birthday Thinlits die cuts in Melon Mambo card stock and one in new Mango Madness. I stacked them up with Liquid Glue – offsetting the bottom Mango Madness die cut to form a little shadow.
Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I popped the smaller flower on with a Stampin’ Dimensional, added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel and the card front was done!
On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to stamp an Abstract Impressions stamp set two-step flower in stamped-off-once Petal Pink and Melon Mambo on a Whisper White panel. Over the top of the flower, I added the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel finished it off.
I used Liquid Glue to mat the panel on Petal Pink and into the Shaded Spruce card base and that was it for the card.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a full strength Petal Pink and Melon Mambo flower from Abstract Impressions on the front…
…and some more of the Garden Impressions DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Isn’t this Garden Impressions paper so stinkin’ pretty?! I love it with the Happy Birthday Thinlit die cut sentiment on top! And, the sentiment and flower from the coordinating Abstract Impressions stamp set is the perfect foil. Hope you like – and already have this paper on your list!

Stamps-N-Lingers 2018-2019 Annual Catalog Shares!
What are catalog shares, you ask? Well…think of them as a Test Drive of a new catalog. And I’ve only got a few spots remaining!
In this Annual Catalog, there are 20 new Designer Papers….22 new Embellishments…..and more new ribbons than I can count!! If you were to buy one of each of them – you’d spend over $600! Shares are a great way to get a little of everything from the new Catalog! You get a chance to “try before you buy”!
I’ve got a few options for you to pick from: a New Designer Series Paper Share, a New Ribbons/Embellishments Share, and an I Want It All Share (this one gets a couple of free extra goodies!!). Take a look-see:
1. New Designer Series Paper Share – $55.00 plus $7 for Priority Mail shipping.
You’ll get 202 6″ x 6″ sheets of Designer Series Paper – including new Specialty and Vellum Papers! If you bought a pack of each of these papers, you’d pay about $230!
2. New Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $66.00 plus $7 for Priority Mail shipping.
You’ll get over 290 embellishments and about 61 yards of ribbon and trim! You’d be looking at almost $340 to buy all these goodies!
3. Want it all? $121 + $7 for Priority Shipping – and you’ll get shares of all of the new Designer Series Papers, Designer Series Paper Stacks, ribbons and embellishments.
And, with an I Want It All order – I’ll also throw in a package of a the new Medium Baker’s Twine in Night of Navy and two sheets of new Tea Room Copper Stickers!

Finn Fan Fix
The Prodigal Piggy has returned.
He was at the barn the other night, returning with as little fanfare (none!) as he’d departed.
Goofy thing. Just stood there wagging his tail at me and Finn like a contented horse.
I need a mirror, y’all – to hold up so he realizes he’s A. Pig!
