Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Bouquet Tranquil Thoughts for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 18, 2021 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 sketch challenge to work with 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!

I had a hankering to play with the soon-to-be-available Butterfly Bouquet bundle and gorgeous Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP (coming to you on 2 March!), so that’s what I reached for. I added a couple sentiments from Tranquil Thoughts and some leaves using its bundled Tranquil Dies (all available now). Take a look-see:

You might recall that the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and matching Brilliant Wings Die set is a bundle that you’ll see in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog – but…this is a chance for you to get it early!

This promotion will run from 2 Mar – 3 May 2021. After that – you’ll have to wait for the release of the new Annual Catalog to get them.

But – there is ALSO some gorgeous Designer Series paper that will NOT BE AVAILABLEafter the end of this promotion period. You read that right! The Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Natural Touch Specialty DSP are only going to be available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST – and then…poof! Gone! 🙁

So…I took a look at what’s coming on 2 March – and put together ONE SINGLE BUNDLE – and a couple of add-ons for you.

The Butterfly Brilliance Bundle – $71

If you bought all these products separately you’d spend about $85 when you factor in shipping and tax – depending on how much Uncle Sam takes where you live.

Butterfly Brilliance 6″ x 6″ DSP $11.50
Natural Touch Specialty DSP $5.00

Now – when you purchase the bundle – you’ve got the option to add on some additional packs of the DSPs and/or the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine if you don’t have one! If you don’t already have one – this is a GREAT time to get it and you’re for SURE going to want to be able to use the amazing Brilliant Wings Dies (they cut out the stamped image from Butterfly Brilliance AND butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP!!

Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP add-on: $10 each

Natural Touch Specialty DSP add-on: $4 each

Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine: $109 each (note: this is the full-size machine and comes with 1 Base Plate, 1 Die Plate, 2 Cutting Plates, and 1 Specialty Plate – so you’ll be able to get to work right away!)

So – if this looks good to you, fill out the form below and pick your goodies!

I’ll send you a PayPal invoice on 23 Feb and then on 2 Mar, I’ll get them right on the way directly to you!

PLEASE NOTE: This offer is available to anyone – but I can only ship to addresses in the United States or Military APO addresses. Thanks for your understanding!

This special will only be available from me at these great discounts until 15 Mar 2021 (or while DSP supplies last!) – so…don’t hesitate!! 🙂

One more note – once you hit “Submit” -it takes a hot second (or twelve!) for the system to do it’s thing. Be patient – it’ll get there. Once it has – it says “Message Sent – Go Back”. You can click “Go Back” and that will return you to the Blog Post! 🙂

Happy bundling and saving! 🙂

Now – with the new comes the….Retiring! 🙁

Every year we say good-bye to some cherished products and some much-used-go-to In Colors! And – 2021 is no exception!

The Retiring List will be coming out in March! While we don’t know EVERYTHING that will be on it…we DO know that our 2019-2021 In Colors will for sure be leaving us!

NOW is the time to stock up on Ink, Refills, Cardstock and DSP – they’ll sell out QUICK once the list goes live!

Here’s the whole shootin’ match – so…be sure to get yours before they fly off the shelves!

Get busy and don’t let your favorite colors pass you by!!

Stampin’ Up! Many Messages and Lots of Heart Card

Posted on February 16, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Are you hunkering down under the weight of snow and ice and bitter cold?? If so, I hope you’ve got power and water and heat. And chocolate – chocolate is a pretty awesome winter-storm-survival food.

Yesterday, while a few of us were chatting and crafting on my Monday Zoom the Craftroom, I put together a pretty non-Mary kind of card. In that…it’s not got a ton of layers. And not a bow in sight! But…I like how it turned out – and I think it would be a great card for a man! It used a sentiment from my handy Many Messages bundle and a few Lots of Heart bundle hearts. Take a look-see:

The layout and elements were inspired by the FUSION challenge this week. The sketch side and, to some extent, the photo side! 🙂

I started with some light wood paper from the In Good Taste DSP and matted it on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

I took a second piece of the In Good Taste and made a banner with it using my Banner Triple Punch.

Using two of the heart dies in the Many Hearts die set (bundled with Lots of Heart), I cut a Mossy Meadow and a Gray Granite heart. This pattern is one of the new 2021-2022 Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP pack – and you can get it for FREE when you join Stampin’ Up! before the end of Sale-A-Bration on 28 Feb. And it’ll bring 160 of its friends (translation: you’ll get 200 SHEETS of new-design DSP!!).

I adhered the two hearts to the card front with Liquid Glue.

For the sentiment, I used the Many Messages stamp to stamp all those wonderful sentiments in Bumble Bee on Basic White and then cut them with the single big die in the bundled Messages Die. Full disclosure: I had this sentiment – and a bunch of others! – in my little tackle box from stamping and cutting them for a previous card!

I popped my sentiment onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a Bumble Bee 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dot, and the card front was done.

Yep – done. Set. The. Card. Front. Down!

On the inside, I inked the plaid heart from Lots of Heart in Mossy Meadow and stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel. I added a sentiment from Lots of Heart in Bumble Bee. And another Bumble Bee enamel dot, too!

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

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the plaid Lots of Heart heart on the front in Mossy Meadow…

…and more of the In Good Taste DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Simple. Hardly any layers (easy to mail – you’re welcome!). Not my normal card style by any stretch. But…I really like how it turned out! The two sets – Lots of Heart and Many Messages go together perfectly, don’t you think??

And don’t forget – there’s only 12 days left in Sale-A-Bration! Which means…in THIRTEEN days….no more free 200 sheets of new DSP (that’s a $59 value – on top of the awesome Starter Kit goodness!) for joining the team! Be sure to pull the trigger and get in on the great deal before it’s gone. I’d love to have you on my team! 🙂

If you’d like to recreate this card, all the products and card cuts are listed below!

Stampin’ Up Snailed It Happy Mail

Posted on February 15, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Happy President’s Day, y’all! Hope you’ve got the day off and have something enjoyable planned! Like – maybe you’ll decide to make a card to send to a friend. Well – tomorrow. No mail today! 🙂

You might want to send a little happy mail and the card I’ve got for you today would be a great one to make! It uses the sweet Snailed It bundle with the Snail Dies and the Snail Mail DSP! Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.

And the envelopes elements are from this week’s CASology Cue Card.

I started with a Real Red panel that I embossed in the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered to the front of my Real Red card base with Liquid Glue.

Next, I matted to pieces of Snail Mail DSP to Bermuda Bay panels and adhered them at jaunty angles with Liquid Glue.

Using the envelope die in the Snail Dies set, I cut two Basic White and one Bermuda Bay pieces. I folded up the white envelopes, “sealing” them with a Glue Dot. With the Bermuda Bay piece, I left the top flap up.

On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Snailed It sentiment in Bermuda Bay and cut it with the little stitched rectangle in the Snail Dies.

I slid the little “note” into the Bermuda Bay envelope and stuck it in place with a little Liquid Glue. Then I adhered the two white envelopes to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used the little heart dies in the Snail Dies to cut Real Red hearts – and adhered one to each of the envelopes with Liquid Glue.

I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to stick the Bermuda Bay envelope over top of the white ones.

I added a few red Resin Hearts to the card front and it was done

On the inside, I added a word bubble from Snailed It in Bermuda Bay to a Basic White panel. I adhered a Real Red die cut heart to the inside.

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

My Basic White Medium Envelope got another image from Snailed It on the front. I used my Stamparatus and inked the image with my Bermuda Bay and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers.

…and a little more of the Snail Mail DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love the Snailed It stamp set and the fun little envelope die in the bundled Snail Dies is way too cute!! It all comes together with the Snail Mail DSP to create all manner of adorable cards!

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick Happy Day with Video Tutorial

Posted on February 14, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Happy Valentine’s Day – are there romantic plans in your future? And – it’s ALSO a three-day weekend! I don’t know about y’all – but…three day weekends – when it’s cold and yucky outside – just aren’t that exciting! There should be more of them later in Spring when the weather is pretty and we WANT to be outside doing things. I think we need to combine chocolate (Valentine’s Day) with an acknowledgment that it’s nasty outside – and…snuggle down with some hot chocolate, a warm dog (or kitty!) and a good book!! Who’s with me?

If you were able to spend some of your long weekend with me on my Facebook Live video last night, I appreciate it! If not, here’s the replay on YouTube!

For this card, I used the undeniably adorable Hey Chick stamp set and bundled Chick Dies – with a little 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP. Take a look-see:

The layout for this card comes from this week’s Global Design Project sketch.

I started by matting a piece of Bumble Bee paper from the 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP on Old Olive for the card front.

Next, I used the die in the Chick Dies to cut two chicken-wire die cuts. I trimmed one down a bit and then adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue. Tip: I like the ends of things to “fall” off the edge of the card front a little – so…I placed the card front onto my card base (not adhered) so that I could be sure it hung over just enough – but NOT past the edges of the card base.

I cut the largest oval Stitched Shapes Die from a piece of Basic White and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I started cutting barn-yard shapes using the Chick Dies. From Soft Suede, I cut a chicken coop and a sign. Mossy Meadow for four corn stalks, Old Olive for four corn husks, and Bumble Bee for four corn cobs.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the husks to the cobs and then to the stalks. And I stamped the Hey Chick sentiment in Tuxedo Black onto the sign.

I used short little pieces of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim to make corn “silks”. This was my friend Debbie Lindauer’s idea (yes – I made this card while we were all playing and crafting on my Zoom The Craftroom on Thursday evening – so it was kind of a card-by-committee!). I adhered the little pieces of trim to the back of each corn cob and then pulled it apart to make it all corn-silky! 😉

I adhered the coop and three stalks to the Basic White oval with Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Hey Chick crazy-hair chick in Tuxedo Black. I colored her hair, tail feathers, legs and beak with my Flirty Flamingo and Bumble Bee Stampin’ Write Markers. Her body is Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blend. Then I cut her out with the matching die in the Chick Dies.

I popped my chick on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then tucked the final corn stalk in behind her. Finally, with more Dimensionals and a little Liquid Glue, I popped the sign in place – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second Hey Chick sentiment in Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel. The crazy hair chick peeks in from the corner!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Old Olive mat and into my Mossy Meadow card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got miss crazy hair on the front…

…and more of the Bumble Bee 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Seriously – how cute is this bundle?? I don’t know what I love more – the crazy chickens in the Hey Chick stamp set or the so-uber-fun die cuts in the Chick Dies?!? How about you??

No matter what you like more – the stamp set and dies are limited time – so…if you love them like I do – get them sooner rather than later, okay?

I hope you like!
