Stampin’ Up! Curvy Butterfly Wishes for the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop

Posted on October 14, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day!! And welcome to another edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. I hope you’ll sit down and spend a little time with us – regardless of where YOU are in the world! 🙂 I know you’re going to see some awesome projects!

Like most hops, we have a theme each month – and this month’s is “The World Around Us”! Which means – well….it’s pretty open-ended! I chose to make a project to celebrate the changing of the seasons – with falling leaves in the colors of Fall – being celebrated by some of my favorite visitors to my garden – butterflies!

To that end, I used the Butterfly Wishes stamp set with the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch. And…you’re getting a little sneak peek at the leaves garland die in the new Curvy Dies – part of the Curvy Celebrations set that is coming to you on 3 Nov. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! You’re the Way To Goat!

Posted on October 12, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Happy start-of-the-week! Hope you had a good weekend – ours was a little soggy. But – I still managed to get some time in with my ponies! I decided that I’ve been falling down on one of the things I meant to do when I retired and that was ride.

Like..I haven’t.

At all.

🙁

Interestingly, the girls are enjoying the attention. Until yesterday morning, maybe, when I pulled out the saddles and tacked them up! THEN the pony-lightbulbs came on and I think they thought…ruh-roh! It’s all fun and games until SOMEone ends up in a SADDLE!! 😂

But – I did take time to make some cards over the weekend and one of them is really the Greatest Of All Time! 😉 I mean, of course, that I used the fun Way to Goat stamp set! Take a look-see:

Happy happy Hawwwmp DAY!! Hope your week is going well – and that if you’re in the path of the 378th hurricane to hit us this year…that you’re taking steps to be safe! 🙁

I have a SNEAK PEEK for you today!! Whoo-hoo! We’ve got a fun new grouping of goodies – called Curvy Celebrations – coming your way in November!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Pumpkin Ideas And Other Paper Pumpkin News You Can Use!

Posted on October 6, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Morning, y’all! Happy Tuesday. I’m not going to tell you about my Monday – the morning in particular – cuz…you’ll decide I’m cray cray and unfollow me! Let’s just say that Monday started at 5:30 when I set off the alarm in the house even as I stared at the big sign that’s been on the door for three weeks that says “STOP – disarm alarm before opening door” and…it was for sure Monday all the rest of the day! So…I am very happy that this is NOT Monday!

I thought I’d give you a peek at the latest Paper Pumpkin kit – since the deadline for signing up for the October Joy To The World kit is fast approaching!

The September kit – called Hello Pumpkin – was a Treat kit. Everything you need to create 20 treat crackers – decorated for Fall, Thanksgiving or Halloween!

Like every Paper Pumpkin kit, it has an exclusive stamp set – the 11-stamp Hello Pumpkin set – and an ink Spot – this one is in Cajun Craze!

And – it also provided all the pieces and parts you’ll need for your treat crackers – including all sorts of cool die-cut flowers, vines, witch hats, pumpkins, doilies and sentiment labels!

Now – we live down a very long – and dark! – driveway. And we have a gate at the end. So….in the umpty-billion years we’ve lived here we’ve not had one single solitary trick-or-treater. Not-a-one. And parties aren’t really a thing for us. If that sounds sort of like you – and treat crackers aren’t really up your alley – let me show you some alternate ideas!

These used one of the scalloped rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut the centers out of the treat boxes to then adhere onto Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes card bases.

The sentiments are stamped onto the die cut banners and adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and the adhesives included in the kit!

A little die cut pumpkin from the kit finished the inside of each card, too.

It made 12 note cards – with plenty of leftovers to make even more!

Here are a couple more alternate project ideas from the clever minds of Stampin’ Up!

Now – just in case you do need Treat Crackers – this is a fun way to make a bunch! Here’s the quick video showing you how to put them together as planned! 🙂
