Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tidings of Joy & Noel

Happy Saturday, y’all!  Wow.  Each day feels like it takes forever to get thru – but then I look up and there’s only two weeks to go!  Yikes!  The more important day is next Tuesday.  On that day, we end the “hard” grind – and transition to cruise control.  No more 4am alarm clocks for me.  Can’t tell you how happy I’m going to be about that.  And – I think I’ll probably even get the weekend off!

GASP!

So – one of the pretty new stamp sets in the 2018 Holiday Catalog is called Joy & Noel.  It’s a beautiful, two-stamp set, similar to the Floral Statements set in the Annual Catalog.  I used that set, plus the Timeless Tidings set, for my card today.  Oh – and…did I mention we’ve got new colors of Stampin’ Blends coming?  How does Shaded Spruce, Real Red, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Basic Black and Mango Melody strike your fancy?!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Santa’s Workshop Memories & More Sneak Peek

Good Monday!  So…this is the next-to-last 12-hour Monday for me.  After the next one, we should go back to “regular” (to include actually taking the weekend off – gasp!) so that will be a relief.  I’m not as wired for this kind of schedule as I used to be.  12 hour day?  Got it.  Five in a row?  Cool – can do it in my sleep.  FIFTEEEN days in a row?  Not so easy any more.

But – I can do anything for 2 more weeks, so…this too shall pass.  I’ll be glad, though, to get back to having a little time and a lot more creative energy to make cards.  I have a lot of “wanna” when I get to the hotel at night, but…not a lotta “DO”!

Fortunately, one of the goodies that arrived in my pre-order was a Santa’s Workshop Memories & More Card Pack.  I used a few goodies from that, along with a large Poppy Parade Santa’s Workshop Card and Envelope from the pack we got as a free give-away on the Cruise.  And not one ink pad was opened in the making of this card!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Dashing Deer Sneak Peek on a Jaunty Angle!

Mornin’, y’all!  Weekend is almost over, huh?

So – bad news first…I won’t be able to do a FB live tonight – sorry!  I don’t get done at work until late and it just won’t work.  Sadly, that’s probably true for next Sunday, too – so…it’s very likely going to be the 19th before we can get together again. 🙁

In the meantime, I’m planning to have cards for you most days – and will bring you some sneak peeks of the new catalog!  I think you’re going to love it!

For today, I went back to the Dashing Deer stamp set and added a little bit of Corrugated Dynamic TIEF texture and some more of the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Dashing Deer and Joyous Noel Sneak Peek

Mornin’, peeps!  Happy Friday!  That’s sort of a useless word for me today – we’re working straight thru till the 13th, so….bleh!  But – I very much hope that YOU are not working this weekend and have, instead, some fun plans!

Before we get going – want to remind you that Bonus Days are going on right now!  This is a great promotion from Stampin’ UP!  When you make purchases in August – you’ll earn certificates for $5 off for each $50 that you spend (before shipping and tax!).  So…spend $50 – get a $5 coupon.  Spend $100 – get two.  And so one.  Then, in September, you can redeem these coupons for savings!  Spend it to save it!

Scroll down for more details, okay?

Now.  For today, I’m bringing you another sneak peek from the 2018 Holiday Catalog – all of which will be available to customers on 5 Sept.  This one uses the Dashing Deer bundle with the Dashing Deer stamp set and Detailed Deer Thinlits.  And there’s a few other new goodies thrown in, too.  Take a look-see:
