Good morning and welcome to your week! I hope you had a great weekend! We got some things done – not least of which was getting catalogs in the mail. And doing a little rat-killing in my craft room. That’s what we call those pesky little “things to do and fix” – nothing huge, just stuff that needed doing, you know? 🙂
We ALSO had a super fun Amy’s Inkin Krew Team meeting on Sunday! We talked a little business and then three of us presented a project using the Beauty of Friendship bundle and most of us ALSO used the gorgeous Beauty of the Earth DSP. Interestingly – all THREE of us did a fun fold! 😉 I thought I’d share my project with you today! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is going well! HOPE you’re not a Dawg’s Fan cuz…if you ARE…you’re a bit bummed out today! 🙁 Beating Alabama is not a trivial task and – sadly – the Dawg’s weren’t up for the task yesterday. 🙁
I spent a LOOONG time on last night’s FB live (and those of you who hung in there with me – thank you!)! We did a pretty pink and gray card using a new stamp bundle and then I spent the bulk of the video giving y’all a look at the goodies that were in my second pre-order from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. If you missed it – and want to check it out – here ’tis on YouTube!
Whew!! That’s a lot of SNEAK PEEKING going on!! 🙂
But – it’s true! I’d promised y’all a video with a look at all the new goodies that came in my Pre-order box but…by the time it was delivered…the day was a long way gone! So….I decided to combine that look with our usual Saturday – at 7pm Eastern – video tutorial over on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. Which – today! – is ALSO a sneak peek itself! That’s right – I’ll be doing a card with a new goody from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. And then I’ll show you the REST of my pre-order. So…Sneak Peek of a Sneak Peek of a Video Tutorial Sneak Peak! 😉
So – here’s a…..wait for it…sneaky peek!
Good morning and welcome to Weekend-Eve! Know what three weeks from TODAY is??
Did you guess….Christmas Eve?? See the connection? “WEEKEND-eve”….”CHRISTMAS-eve”?? 😉
You’re welcome for the update!
Now. Since we’re getting close to The Big Day – I have a totally NON-Christmas card for you! This one is a CASE of a really pretty card in the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. It uses the Eden Garden Bundle (available right now!) and the Heart & Home DSP (coming on 4 Jan!). Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a theme challenge to work with 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!
When I saw the theme – I right away thought of the pretty gray snowflake paper in the Peaceful Place Specialty DSP – so that became the foundation for my card. To it, I added a few elements from the Peaceful Cabin bundle. Take a look-see:
And – here’s our challenge!
I also borrowed from another challenge – the sketch over at The Paper Players to help me with my layout.
I started by cutting three pieces of the Peaceful Place Specialty DSP – one long one and two smaller ones. Hint: they’re all the same width! I adhered these with Liquid Glue to a Polished Pink mat for the card front.
Then I used a little Liquid Glue to adhere a Wonderful Snowflake to the card front – a little off-center!
I stamped the Peaceful Cabin image in Basic Gray on Basic White and fussy cut it out. Then I brushed all the “snow” with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
Using the dies in the bundled Cabin Dies – I cut 6 Evening Evergreen pine trees.
I adhered four of the trees to the card front with Liquid Glue, then popped the fussy cut cabin over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the fun little “fence” die – I cut a Soft Suede fence panel and adhered it to the front of the cabin with Liquid Glue.
I used a Stampin’ Dimensional at the bottom of a large tree and a little more Liquid Glue to adhere it over the fence panel.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Peaceful Cabin sentiment in Polished Pink and cut it out with a die from the Ornate Frames die set.
I used a Stampin’ Dimensional and some Liquid Glue to adhere the sentiment.
I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (NEW in the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog and available 4 Jan!) here and there and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped just two of the three-tree image from Peaceful Cabin in Evening Evergreen. Then I stamped the fence image over top in Soft Suede – using a Blender Pen to soften the edges and fill it in a little.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Polished Pink mat and into the Evening Evergreen card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the trees and fence image from Peaceful Cabin on the front…
…and more Peaceful Place Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! A Peaceful Cabin in a snowy Peaceful Place! So pretty – I love these tree die cuts – they’re some of the bestest I’ve seen! And – not for nuthin’ – the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and Cabin Dies are retiring soon – so…if you don’t have them…you know what to do! 🙂
I hope you like!

Good morning! It’s a BIG Day! I’ve already ordered our new Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalogs and Jan – Feb 2022 Sale-A-Bration Brochures and will be mailing them out to you (you know who you are!) as soon as I can. And I…MIGHT?…have done a little more pre-ordering! I can’t wait to share more new goodies with you!
I’ve got a fun card for you this morning! I saw a Triple Square card – made by LeeAnn Greff – and thought it was too fun. So…I made one for myself. I used the Gingerbread & Peppermints DSP and a couple of sentiments from the Frosted Gingerbread and Holly Jolly Christmas stamp sets. Take a look-see:
The red-white-cream color palette is from the Cupcake Inspirations challenge!
I started with a Real Red card base and – to the front and the inside – adhered a piece of Real Red plaid paper from the Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP pack, using Liquid Glue.
I ran a Very Vanilla panel thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine inside the NEW Gingham Embossing Folder (this is coming SOON in the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog!). Then I matted it on Basic White for the card front.
To make the “triple square” I started with a square of the Regals DSP – same design that I’d used on the card base – and matted it on Basic White using Liquid Glue.
The next layer is a same-size square of Gingerbread & Peppermints 6″ x 6″ DSP – also matted on Basic White.
I used my Grid Paper to help me get the two matted squares lined up correctly – then adhered them together with Liquid Glue.
For the sentiment – I cut a 2″ square of Basic White and stamped the big sentiment from Holly Jolly Christmas in Real Red. Then I matted it on another square of the same Real Red Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP that I’d been using.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the sentiment onto the layered squares. You can see from the photo above that the sentiment “diamond” is lined up in the same orientation as the BOTTOM large square. THAT and being “matted” with the same paper as the bottom square – is what creates the illusion!
I adhered the whole thing onto the Very Vanilla card front with Liquid Glue.
I added some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a sentiment and some peppermints from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set in Real Red on a Very Vanilla panel. Those three peppermints are all on one stamp – and they fit perfectly in a corner!
I added a Red Rhinestone, then used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic White mat and then into my card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got more Frosted Gingerbread peppermints on the front…
…and added some more Gingerbread & Peppermints 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love this Triple-Square technique, don’t you? I think I need to try a few more cards using it! I really like how this one turned out – with the marriage of the Holly Jolly Christmas and Frosted Gingerbread sets. And the addition of the Gingerbread & Peppermints DSP was kind of perfect (she says modestly!)!
I hope you like!

To find the winner of the November Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin kit – I put all the comments into the Random picker and out popped… #14!
That was the comment left by Lora!
“I look forward to putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. I have so many ornaments from years gone by that is so fun to see them. They bring back so many memories, either of a family member or good friend. Some of the ornaments were made by our children.”
Whoo-hoo – congrats, Lora! If you’ll get in touch with me, I’ll drop your Paper Pumpkin in the mail quick as I can!
Thanks, everyone, for playing!

When looking for signs of “winter” – SOME people look for falling leaves. Snow. Overcast and blustery days.
For us? We look for all that. But the REAL signs are fuzz-bucket ponies and…
Wayne atop the first bale of the season going into the pasture. Complete with covers and insulated hoody!
THAT means winter is here for real here at the Deatherage house!
