Finn Fan Fix


Finn’s birth mom sent me a picture yesterday.

There’s much cuteness, so…figured I’d share it.

Right??

He’s a little bigger now, but still totes-adorbs….just now he’s Man-Cute instead of Baby-Cute. 😉

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday, Magnolia Lane!

Well – here we are – it’s FRIDAY!  And…the Friday before a three-day weekend!  Whoo-hoo!

That said – if you’re in the way of that darned Dorian – I know you’re going to spend the long weekend battening down the hatches and preparing your home for his arrival!  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! 🙁

My card today is from the Magnolia Lane suite in the 2019 – 2020 Annual Catalog – an obvious favorite, right?  I used the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack and the Designer Series Paper, along with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and bundled Magnolia Memory Dies for this one.  Take a look-see:

I got the inspiration for this one from the CASE The Designer challenge over at the Global Design Project this week.

And the layout is from the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge.

I started by matting a panel of the lovely Magnolia Lane DSP on a double-mat of Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink for the card front.

The circle sentiment is from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack – I just cut it out with a circle Stitched Shapes Die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Then I used a few Glue Dots to adhere a short length of Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon near the bottom of the circle.

With the Magnolia Memory Dies, I cut a couple of flowers from the Magnolia Lane DSP (that’s right – one of the dies in the set totally cuts out a beautiful flower in one of the papers! How cool is that??).  I also cut out two larger leaves and two smaller from Mossy Meadow.

I adhered the leaves with Liquid Glue – then added the flower on the right with Liquid Glue.  The second flower is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a double-loop bow from Linen Thread and added it with a Glue Dot.  A small bow from the Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon, attached with a Glue Dot, was next.

I added a single Pearl Basic Jewel and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia in Mossy Meadow to a Whisper White panel.  Then I added a super sweet sticker from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a double mat of Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink, then into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope for another Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack sticker on the front…

…and more of the Magnolia Lane DSP on the envelope flap!

Et Voila!  How pretty is this soft and feminine birthday card, y’all!??  I LOVE that I can cut perfect flowers FROM the Magnolia Lane DSP, don’t you?  And the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack is amaze-balls, for sure!  Round it out with a sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia and…winner winner!  I hope you like!

TODAY and TOMORROW – are the VERY LAST DAYS to grab that extra gi-hugic Starter Kit, y’all!  Why, oh why, would you miss out on THIRTY extra dollars worth of free goodness – with no commitment?

Smart money says…YOU WON’T!  Talk to you soon! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix


It’s getting pretty real, folks.

Mr. Reindeer is…nearing admittance to hospice, I’m afraid.

With – I’m askeered – a DNR order.

He recently underwent a Finn-induced evisceration.

Yes.  Another one.

This one required a medically induced coma and several days in the ICU to get strong enough for the extensive surgery.

Finally – it was time.

Dr. Dad-Wayne mentioned that the next time – if Mr. Reindeer survives – we may need a skin graft.

But – he was able to cobble him back together – for now.

The Finn-Dad was SOOOOO happy!

Maybe too happy?  No time in the recovery room for Mr. Reindeer.

No rest for the eviscerated!

He carried Mr. Reindeer out of the barn and then…

…gently set him down in the grass.

Turned out Finn had some “business” to attend to.  Ahem.

But as soon as that was done – he was back!

Then it was time for the last walk of the night.

Are you guys coming?

WHHYY are you guys so SLOOOOW??!

He hurried thru the walk – on an obvious mission to get back to the house.

Only put Mr. Reindeer down when a PESKY FLY landed on his butt.

There are limits, people.  Flies must be dealt with immediately!

But finally – FINALLY!!….

Back to the house…to begin taking apart Dr. Dad-Wayne’s handiwork! 🙁

Stampin’ Up! Tidings All Around Wreaths for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!  Today’s Hop is a sketch challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with –  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop!

I went back to the Toile Tidings Suite for this Sneak Peek today – this time…using the Tidings All-Around stamp set and bundled All Around Wreath Dies!  Plus some of that wunnermusly gorgeous Toile Tidings DSP.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our sketch – you can see I turned it on its side! (Lay your left ear on your left shoulder – you’ll see it!)

I started with one of the pretty Garden Green paper from the Toile Tidings DSP, matting it on Soft Suede for the card front.  Next up is a piece of Very Vanilla that I embossed in the new Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder (coming in the 2019 Holiday Catalog), matted it on Soft Suede and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used a few Glue Dots to adhere a short length of 5/8″ Burlap Trim to the embossed panel.

Then I used the more intricate wreath die in the All Around Wreath Die set to cut a Garden Green and a Vellum Card Stock wreath.  I used a few Glue Dots to adhere the Vellum wreath to the Garden Green Wreath.  Then I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the wreath onto the embossed panel.

I cut two Soft Suede branches and two Garden Green boughs –  both in the All Around Wreath Die set – and used Liquid Glue to adhere them to the top of the wreath.

Three little Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots at the top – and a Burlap Ribbon bow adhered with a Glue Dot – finished off the wreath.

I stamped the Toile Tidings sentiment in Real Red on Very Vanilla and used a Stitched Rectangles Die to cut it out.  It was too long – so…I ran it half-way thru my Die Cutting Machine, then moved the die and ran it half way thru from the other direction.  That let me make a custom-sized Stitched Rectangle!

I popped the sentiment onto the wreath with Stampin’ Dimensionals – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment in Real Red on Very Vanilla, then added the large wreath image in Garden Green.  I added some Real Red berries, too!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Soft Suede mat and into my Real Red card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the Tidings All-Around wreath in Garden Green and Real Red on the front…

…and more of the Garden Green Toile Tidings DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I think this is one of my favorite Suites – and this Tidings All-Around stamp set, with its bundled All Around Wreath Dies – is certainly a showcase (and show STOPPER) piece of the suite!  I hope you like!

And – are you getting ready?!?  There’s less than a WEEK before you can order from the amaze-balls new 2019 Holiday Catalog! 😉

Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop thru all our projects today  If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go right to Kristi’s page. And you can just click on the names below to go direct to all the blogs!

There’s not really a story or a little funny to go along with these pictures.

Wayne was searching for fur-stickers.  When you’re covered in fuzzy Velcro, those are a perpetual problem.  The struggle is real.

I was on the sofa and looked over and…the expression on the Man’s face and the position he was in was….just too sweet.  It NEEDED to be captured.

So….here ya go!

You’re welcome! 😉

Stampin’ UP! Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blades Are Available NOW!

The Blades are LIVE! and when they sell out they will be gone for good.

Past history shows that individuals placing single orders have had more success than if I try to place orders for multiple customers – so if you need blades – I highly suggest that you try to get on my Online Store to get item item #126995 as quick as you can!  And remember, the limit is three packs per customer! 

These bad boys sold out in about 10 minutes the last time we had them in stock! Yikes!

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Wreaths and Scrolls Sneak Peek

Good morning!  Before I get going – let me remind you that today is the day that the Trimmer Blades will be available again – starting at 10am Mountain Time!!  I’ll TRY to be at the computer to send a quick “HEY IT’S LIVE” post…but…set your alarms and head to the Online Store right on time (or even a little early!) and start ordering your own (Item #126995)!  Three packs – that’s the max!

My card for you today is another Sneak Peek from the 2019 Holiday Catalog – which is just over a week away! This one uses the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set.  Something cool about this set is that it coordinates with the All-Around Wreaths dies – which you can get bundled with the Tidings All Around stamp set!  Yep – one die set…TWO stamp sets that coordinate!  Winner winner! For this card, I also used the new Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one comes from this week’s challenge over at The Paper Players.

And the colors are from the Fab Friday color challenge.

I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock that I embossed in the new Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder (coming 4 Sept – find it in the Spooktacular Bash Suite!) and then matted on Blueberry Bushel for the card front.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of Petal Pink paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I cut a square of Whisper White and used my Stamparatus to stamp the wreath using the image in the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set.  I placed the stamp in the first “corner” of the square panel and stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Then I turned the panel 1/4 turn to the right (clock-wise) and stamped again.  I did that two more times to complete the wreath!

I colored the wreath with my Light and Dark Call Me Clover and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.  I also used my Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover and Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Markers.

I added some faux “stitches” around the edge with my Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Write Marker and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from Seasonal Wreaths, is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on Whisper White and cut with another Stitched Rectangles Die.  I used a few Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue to adhere it to the card front.

I added a bow tied with Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon and adhered with a Glue Dot.  A Gingham-Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequin in Grapefruit Grove and a few Pearl Basic Jewels finished it off!

On the inside, I added second sentiment from Seasonal Wreaths in Blueberry Bushel on a Whisper White panel.  In the corner, I stamped the floral bough image once in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink – coloring it as I’d done on the front.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat and into my Call Me Clover card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another floral bough from Seasonal Wreaths on the front…

…and some more of the Petal Pink Subtles DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  LOVE this wreath – made from four stamped images from Seasonal Wreaths!  But – there is ALSO a full wreath image in the set – and that one can be cut out with the die in the All-Around Wreaths Dies!  And – the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder adds such a sweet and classy bit of texture! I hope you like!!

Finn Fan Fix


I have some proof that Finn has Super-Canine Powers.

So yesterday morning, the Man decided to hold the strategically superior high ground…literally…

He stared at me – looking really quite splendid! – as I peeked around the corner to take his picture.

He’s a Star.  It’s his due.

Several minutes later – with no fanfare, very little noise and no indication to him – I ever-so-stealthily went into the tack room (which he absolutely, positively could NOT see from his vantage point!) to get the peppermints for the girls.

One point two nanoseconds later…

Super ear-balls.  Super schnoozle.

Just sayin’.

Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Cardinal Sneak Peek

Good Monday!

And nope – NOT an oxymoron!  At least…not for me.

Sorry – that was mean!  But…Monday has no effect on me anymore!

Well – except if I need to go to Walmart, I know that one of these next five days is the day to do it!  Don’t have to go on the WEEKEND anymore!  Whoo-hoo!

My card today showcases some of the goodies you can get for a tidy little savings if you purchase my Bundle #6 Toile & Wreaths!  I used the Toile Christmas stamp set and bundled Christmas Cardinal, plus some gorgeous Toile Tidings DSP!  Take a look-see!

I took some design ideas from the samples in the 2019 Holiday Catalog and the layout is from this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.

I started with some pretty Real Red Toile Tidings DSP, the same size as the card front, adhered with Liquid Glue.

The next layer is a Garden Green check design – also from the Toile Tidings DSP, matted on Real Red and adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.  Then there’s a smaller Very Vanilla panel, matted on Real Red and stuck on with Liquid Glue.

I stuck a piece of new Real Red 1″ Ruched Ribbon (2019 Holiday Catalog!) across the card front with a couple of Glue Dots.

On a seperate piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the branch and Cardinal images in Basic Gray Ink, using my Stamparatus.  I cut them with their dies in the Christmas Cardinal die set.

For the branch – I used Light and Dark Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the branch and leaves.  I picked up Real Red ink from the lid of the ink pad with my Blender Pen to color the berries.  Then I adhered it over the ribbon with Liquid Glue.

I colored the Cardinal by using my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to pick up Real Red ink from the lid and I used Mango Melody the same way for his beak.  I popped him onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from Toile Christmas, is stamped in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake and cut with the Christmas Cardinal die that matches it – then it’s adhered with Liquid Glue.

I cut a few leaves from Garden Green – with dies in the Christmas Cardinal set –  and adhered them with more Liquid Glue.  Then I tied a little bow of Garden Green 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon (2019 Holiday Catalog!) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.  I added a few Garden Green Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment in Early Espresso on a Very Vanilla panel.  I also added a branch – in Basic Gray, then colored it like I did on the front.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Real Red mat and into my Crumb Cake card base and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Toile Christmas branch on the front…

…and some more of the pretty Toile Tidings DSP on the envelope flap!

Et Voila!  How gorgeous is that die cut Toile Christmas Cardinal?  Especially all shimmery from the Clear Wink of Stella?!?  I love the coordinating Toile Tidings DSP, too!  I hope you like!

My Special Bundle #6: Toile & Wreaths Bundle – is perfect if this card struck your fancy! 🙂

…and a free bonus gift – Toile & Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots!

Whatcha looking at, Finny?

WHAT?  Why, Mom – what do you hear?

I’m coming – hang on!

Where is it?  What did you hear?  Do I need to bark?

Woof.

Not to worry, Mom – I’ve got your six!

Turns out…there wasn’t anything in the pasture.  He was just…watching the day go by!

But me ASKING him….triggered his inner Rottweiler/Malinois/Doberman…. 😉

Stampin’ Up! Mini Curvy Keepsake Sneak Peek Across the Seasons!

Mornin’, y’all!  Happy Sunday!

If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video – I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me!  If not – but would like to watch the replay – here ’tis!

I showed off several projects last night that have a common denominator…the brand new Mini Curvy Keepsake Die and bundled Tiny Keepsakes Stamp Set – both coming soon in the 2019 Holiday Catalog!  Take a look-see:

On the video, we made the Come To Gather box…

…and the Snowman box…

I just showed the others!

The first is a Halloween box – using the Monster Bash DSP cut with the Mini Curvy Keepsake die – with a Spooktacular Bash tag!  You can see how to make this tag on the video, too! 🙂

Then we had one for a birthday – with a masculine bent!  I used the Come Sail Away DSP, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine, Sail Away Trinkets and a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set on this one.  The sentiment was cut with an Ornate Frames die (coming soon in the 2019 Holiday Catalog).  Y’all – this die set is SO handy to have!

Finally – I shared a little box that would be perfect for Mother’s Day, a Red Hat luncheon, Baby/Bridal Shower, church gathering – and probably tons more!  It uses the new Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP, the Leaf Punch, some flowers from the Lovely Flowers Die set, a sentiment from Piece of Cake, some Noble Peacock Rhinestones – and the heart label die from the Tiny Keepsake stamp set.

So – I hope you can see that this wonderful little Mini Curvy Keepsake Die is an awesome jumping off point for tons and gobs and oodles of fun projects!  And each box takes just one 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP or card stock, with no adhesive required for the box.  Make the box lickety-split and then…decorate to your heart’s content!  I hope you like!
