Stampin’ Up! Playful Darling Donkeys Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 31, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a wide open theme challenge today and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

Since it’s New Year’s Eve – and…I think most of us are quite ready to see 2020 in the rearview mirror – I figured I’d make a cute card along the lines of a few I’ve seen around the interwebs the past week or so. It features Darling Donkeys kicking a Playful Alphabet 2020 to the curb. And it’s all set atop some Flower & Field DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Sneak Peek with Forever Fern Greenery

Posted on December 29, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Hope your week is going well. Not too many more days in 2020, y’all! We’ll be sleeping thru New Year’s before we know it. Be sure that you’ve picked up your Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens. After 2020 – I’d say we need as much luck and prosperity as we can get. I, for one, am taking no chances! 🙂

My card today combines the Forever Greenery DSP and the Forever Fern stamp set – both available right now in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog – with another sneak peek of the amazing Happy Thoughts sentiment set coming in like…a week!…in the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Simply Potted Succulents Sneak Peek Thank You

Posted on December 28, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all – hope you’re looking forward to a short week if you have to work! If not – I hope you’re enjoying leftover Christmas dinner and the lights on your tree! We “solved” our tree light issue by….just not turning them off! We turn them to multi-colored when we go to bed – even from the living room the white lights are too bright in the bedroom for Wayne. Me? I’d probably string twinkle lights over my headboard and sleep with them on year round. 😉 Then I put them back on white when I get up! Hopefully we can get a power adaptor before the next holiday tree-time!

Or…a new tree!

Speaking of trees – today’s card has no trees on it. It has…succulents! Simply Succulents, to be exact – cut out with the bundled Potted Succulents Dies. I also used some Sand & Sea DSP to create a…desert feel for my thank you card. Take a look-see:

The Mailbox Has Been Filled with Lovely Cards!

Posted on December 26, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Well – happy Saturday! Are y’all out and about taking socially-distanced-advantage of the after-Christmas sales? We are…not! We hunker down on the day after Christmas in non-COVID years so…no incentive to brave the chaos this year!

I’ll be live this evening at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page with a card to share. Do I know right now what that card is? Nope – I confess, I spent yesterday cooking our Christmas Prime Rib and enjoying the day! But…I hope you’ll join me anyway – even without a sneak peek! It’ll be like a….Mystery Movie! 😉

Now – it is ALSO Christmas Eve! Which means that – naturally – I have a Valentine’s/Anniversary/Love/Friendship card to share with you today! LOL!

I’m looking forward – with the new Forever & Always stamp set with its bundled Always Dies, and some pretty black-and-white DSP from the True Love DSP. These will be available to you on 5 Jan in the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Wild Roses & Happy Thoughts Sneak Peek

Posted on December 23, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day and…Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Ready or not….it’s upon us, y’all!

We’re headed today to get my Christmas present. I’m excited! I mean – it’s a work thing, but…still! Only downside is we have to do the trek to Atlanta to get it. Bleh. But – I’m still excited!

My card today is a play on the Triple Time Technique – made quick and easy with the oh-so-handy-and-awesome Stamparatus! I used two new stamp sets – that you’ll be able to get on 5 Jan. One is a lovely background stamp called Wild Roses and the other is the wonderful Happy Thoughts sentiment set. Take a look-see:
