Stampin’ Up! Sweet Treats, Toil and Trouble for the Amy’ Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop!

Posted on September 11, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Good mornin’, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month we’re doing Halloween Fun! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

Before I get going – let’s just acknowledge the historical import of this day in the history of our Country. I know I will always remember that day – where I was, what we were doing, what I felt as I raced to work – hoping my boss/friend hadn’t already gotten on an airplane and that the folks I knew were in D.C weren’t at the Pentagon. I know y’all remember it as well. As we must. We must never – ever – forget.

So – okay. On with the card.

I pulled out the Cauldron Bubble stamp set and bundled Cauldron Framelits – paired them with some Toil & Trouble DSP and some Spooky Bats Punch shapes. Take a look-see at the Double Easel Fun Fold that I created with them!

Stampin’ Up! Cauldron Bubble Fun Fold Sneak Peek

Posted on September 9, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a great weekend!

We did some share chopping yesterday – got most of the paper shares in the mail. Today is ribbon winding and chopping – and, when we get done, maybe a trip to Costco? Time will tell!

Tonight we’ll be making a card together – at least, I HOPE all y’all will be able to join me – on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. It’s a Fun Fun-fold (which I suppose would be an F3Card?). And it may or may not be THIS exact card – the fun fold will be the same, but…we may do Thanksgiving. Or…Christmas! Take a Sneaky Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Peaceful Poinsettias

Posted on September 8, 2018 by stampsnlingers

‘Sup, y’all? Hope your weekend is starting out well – and that you’ve got plans to do something fun! 🙂

When I ordered all the goodies for my shares, I procured a few more goodies from the Holiday Catalog. Some of which I’d been pining for since I saw them – but had tried to be good and wait until I got home from California to bring on board. One of those is the gorgeous Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set and the bundled Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.

I started out by stamping all over a Crumb Cake panel with the large poinsettia image in Crumb Cake ink for a tone-on-tone look. Then I matted the panel on Mango Melody card stock to create the card front.

I wrapped a length of Shaded Spruce Metallic Ribbon around the panel, securing it in the back with a few Glue Dots.

I cut a strip of All Is Bright DSP, matted it on Mango Melody and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the Peaceful Poinsettia sentiment in Shaded Spruce on a Whisper White panel, using my Stamparatus. In the top corner, in Tuxedo Black, I stamped a couple of berry branches from Peaceful Poinsettia. I colored the berries with my Dark Mango Melody Stampin’ Blend Marker. Then I matted the panel on Mango Melody and attached it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the large Poinsettia and a holly sprig in Tuxedo Black on Whisper White, then cut them with the matching die in the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits. I colored the two images with my Dark and Light Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.

The holly sprig is adhered to the sentiment panel with Liquid Glue, and then the Poinsettia is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I colored three Pearl Basic Jewels with my Dark Mango Melody Blend and adhered them in the center of the Poinsettia. Finally, I tied a little bow from the Shaded Spruce Metallic Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I added the Peaceful Poinsettia image in two corners of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black and colored them with my Blends. Then I added a second sentiment in Shaded Spruce.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mango Melody mat and into my Shaded Spruce card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Peaceful Poinsettia on the front (I stuck my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig acetate panel that I’ve held onto inside the envelope to protect it from Blend-Bleed-Thru!)…

…and I adhered a little more of the All Is Bright DSP to the envelope flap.

Et voila! A perfectly positioned Peaceful Pointettia positively captivates, does it not? 😉 And, I love that these gorgeous images even have their own dies in the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits! Hope you like!

So – I’m signed up on a website called IHeartDogs.com. Each day they send me articles about dogs – and, of course, fun products that I can (and do!) buy that help feed shelter dogs and other good dog-deeds.

One of those articles was about how dogs sleep (https://iheartdogs.com/your-dogs-sleeping-habits-can-reveal-secrets-about-their-health-personality/).

By which I mean the position in which they like to sleep.

“Does your pooch simply roll on her back with her paws dangling or stretched up to the sky? This is the ultimate sign of a carefree sleeper. It’s a very vulnerable position, so your pup feels safe and confident enough to doze off this way. Also, it’s a wonderful way for a warm dog to cool off!

“Dogs who assume this sleeping position usually tend to be very laid-back and have an independent streak,” says Little Things.

Uhmmm. Yep.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Delicate Baubles

Posted on September 7, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday, y’all! I’d like to make another plug for permanent, every-week, all-the-time, FOUR-DAY WORK WEEKS!!

Who’s with me!? 😉

So – in the mail yesterday I got two ginormous brown boxes with the Stampin’ Up! logo all over the sides! Yep – all my Shares goodies are IN THE HOUSE! If you ordered a share (you know who you are!!), I’ll be chopping and cutting and winding today and thru the weekend and will get your goodies in the mail quick as I can do it! You’re going to love what you receive!

One of the goodies – for those of you who ordered I Want It All or DSP shares – is the new Festive Farmhouse DSP. I used some gorgeous plaid paper from that pack – and I sheshe’d it up a bit with a couple of stamped images and die cuts from the new Beautiful Baubles and bundled Detailed Baubles Thinlits. Take a look-see:

My layout was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

I went with one of my favorite color combos – Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow. With some glittery Copper tossed in for good measure. I love the glitter against the vintag-y Crumb Cake and plaid from the Festive Farmhouse DSP, don’t you?

To begin, I matted a piece of the Festive Farmhouse plaid paper on a Crumb Cake mat for the card front.

Next I took an asymmetrical piece of Crumb Cake card stock and embossed it in the new-and-awesome Corrugated Dynamic TIEF. Then I tore the edges – making it even more assymetric. I tap-tap-tapped all four edges on my Versamark Pad, sprinkled Copper Stampin’ Embossing Powder on them, and heated them with my Heat Tool. Then I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the panel to the card front.

Note: I highly recommend Tear & Tape when you’re trying to stick a Corrugated DTIEF panel to anything. I suspect you’ll be much happier with the resulting stick-to-it-ive-ness than if you use SNAIL or even Liquid Glue!

Next up, I cut two die cut shapes from the new Detailed Baubles Thinlits from a piece of Copper Joyous Noel 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper. I adhered the lovely large circle to the card front with Liquid Glue.

With my 2 1/4″ Circle Punch, I cut a Cherry Cobbler circle and adhered the smaller ornament to it with Liquid Glue. Then I popped that onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from Beautiful Baubles, is stamped in Versamark on Crumb Cake and heat embossed with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then I cut it with the little label die in the Night Owl Thinlits.

I edged the banner with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker and then adhered it with some Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a couple of Mossy Meadow pine boughs with my Pretty Pines Thinlits, and a couple of Copper Glimmer Paper boughs from the Night Owl Thinlits and adhered them with Liquid Glue. Then I added a little bow tied with Cherry Cobbler Twine from the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine pack.

On the inside, I stamped the large ornament from Beautiful Baubles in Cherry Cobbler on a Whisper White panel. Then I added a second sentiment in Crumb Cake.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Crumb Cake mat and into my Mossy Meadow card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Beautiful Baubles ornament in Cherry Cobbler on the front…

…and I added a little more Festive Farmhouse plaid DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love all the texture on this card – the plaid Festive Farmhouse DSP and the Corrugated Crumb Cake panel. Add in the Coppery Glimmer from the Detailed Baubles die cuts and…some Mossy Meadow pine boughs? Yep. I hope you like!
